En Route to Singapore!

I finally uploaded the first part of my Singapore Vlog Series! It would mean a lot to me if you would check it out and tell me what you think. Anyways, I hope you will like it as much as I had fun editing it!

Stay tuned for the next vlogs and hopefully more in the future!

Sending you love, Gwyn

Bright Places

When you're given the opportunity to travel, you know the protocol: street style. 

YouTube?

During my free time, I would always find myself absent-mindedly flicking my fingers up and down my laptop's trackpad, navigating through the realm of YouTube. There is no doubt how much this site has opened the world to me - in a literal and metaphorical sense. Even before, when its logo looked like a television bathed in a brown and green color scheme, it was still my to-go-to site.

I have been on YouTube for a long time now, I even used to post music videos and vlogs about the most random antics I was up to. And now, I'm finally back at it again - but this time with much more dedication. I hope this time, it'll be consistent (like, every week?) because I have this thing about starting something and not finishing it in the end so I really do wish that it will work this time. (I'm using this time after every word, ugh)

Anyways, I uploaded a Spring Lookbook on my channel! I didn't have anyone to help me, so my tripod was of good use. It would mean a lot if you watched it, and subscribed too (wink wink).

Sending you love, Gwyn

Exploring South

I've never really travelled in the southern part of the city, much less go beyond SRP, despite the number of years I've been calling this place home; it never really occurred to me until I grew and became more and more curious of the wonders around me. The map I've been creating marks on was too vast that I forgot to magnify the places I should've looked at first. Fortunately, the summer of 2016 paved way to unexpected trips to local sights I have never been to, with the best company I could ever ask for.

Bleu Foncé

Summer has finally come upon us! This calls for high-waisted shorts, printed rompers, spaghetti-strapped tops and huge sunglasses. Although in some other countries they consider this time of the year spring, the sunny rays and the very hot temperature surrounding our topical country beg to differ.

VLOG: Photoshoot Shenanigans

Hello! I am finally back after heaps of schoolwork (not that it ended already, sad). But on a brighter note, I finally found the spare time to edit and post the vlog I've been itching to upload for the past month. Here it is!



Check out my youtube channel as well because I'm gonna post some stuff there too since it's almost summer!

With love, Gwyn

My Favorite Books

Ever since I was a little girl, I was always fascinated with words - words that told stories and words that held emotion. At three, I abused my fairy tale books by reading them countless of times, and every time I finished another one, I'd still feel perfectly amused. So it doesn't seem much of a surprise to my parents when I ask them for a seven hundred page book or even more, because without a doubt, I'd pretty much be engrossed in every page.

I wanted to share the books I found very interesting and eventually grew fond of. Most of these lie along the teen fiction and romance genre because I'm a sucker like that but still, I rate all of these an eleven out of a ten.

Blithe Ventures

Music wise, I'm not one to tell people what I listen to (with the exception of One Direction songs, duh) because I'm very possessive of my playlists and all. I know it sounds selfish but ever notice a song that's supposed to be really good but unfortunately, played over and over again that you eventually learn to hate it? That's why.

But after hours of putting the same playlist on repeat and an almost empty box of donuts later, I decided to share what tunes I have been listening to and obsessing about over the past few weeks. My genre lies between indie pop and a bit of EDM. I'm not quite sure how to explain it but these are the most wonderful songs you've probably never heard before. So brace yourselves (half joking).

Happy listening!

With love, Gwyn

P.S. To all those who wanted my playlist with the full versions of the audio excerpts I always tease you guys about, it's here!

Sun Shy

This is the last shoot me and Alyssa did a while back. A long overdue post, exactly and despite having Sorry as the anthem everyone's being singing to, it is never too late.

Shades of California: Melrose Avenue

I've heard a copious amount of stories about California - from my friends, relatives, cousins, and even bloggers - and all of which seemed so interesting to me that I made a note to myself that I would want to experience that thrill and excitement someday, firsthand, in the land of the sun itself. 

Shades of California: California Klass

Maybe you have to be in California to feel its hippie and free-spirited atmosphere, but you will never find yourself in a position wherein you have to find class; you carry and embody it in you - that's if, you choose to.

The Haute Express

After several sleepless nights and disregarded coffee cups later, I finally revamped my blog and gathered enough content that would keep this blog running. Thankfully, my friends helped me achieve this goal - all my love goes to you, guys!

So without further ado, The Haute Express is now officially (more like finally) on the internet!

Faux Fur

There’s a pattern going on on my blog, if you haven’t noticed, it comes back on the 31st.

38th National Encampment

So far, the second week of April has been a blast! A part of everything that happened is summed up in the photo above. Decipher the stories behind each one below the cut!

Manila 2015: Photo Diary

I’ve been on hiatus for a while, but I swear, I’m back.

This month has been one of the busiest, stressful, and basically overwhelming month I’ve been through. A lot has happened and apparently, the happenings are much too plenty to be talked about in one blog post. So I’m going to start with the first which was my trip to Manila and my OTRA Concert Experience!

Fifteen and blogging

Hello tumblr!

Okay *breathes deeply* I’ve been planning to make a fashion blog for a really long time (very very long) but the lack of free time (and my very stubborn self) hindered me from doing so. And now, tada! I finally made one!
