#100DAYSOFSUMMER: DAY 60 - CLOSET SWAP

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and we are now on Day 60!

Day 60, 12:00 NN, Philippines 

Isn't it fantastic to live in a tropical country? You can pretty much wear the lightest, most sheer and shortest of outfits. For women my age (I'm already 28 now by the way), we tend to keep everything classy even though our bodies are not that covered up. But when we're at the beach, that's a different story. Back in the city, when I wear the shortest of denim cut-offs, I'll make sure I have my shoulders all covered up. It's just a matter of balancing everything - make sure that you reveal just one body part at a time, don't reveal everything in one go unless you want to get uncomfortable stares from strangers in the streets.

#100DAYSOFSUMMER - DAY 1

This is a part of the #100DaysOfSummer project of The PR Girl Closet, and this is the 1st day! 

Day 1, daytime, Bali, Indonesia

Happy 1st day of April! I am so thrilled to start this project today. It's called #100DaysOfSummer. I decided to put hashtag in the beginning for me to monitor the posts easily and quickly (and aside from the fact that I'm just used to using hashtags in practically everything). This project is all about - yep you guessed it - SUMMER! I know I live in a tropical country and it's obviously summer almost all year long but there's something exciting about hearing the months April, May and June coming. Aside from the fact that these are the warmest times of the year in this part of the globe, there are also quite a lot of non-working holidays in these months (in Singapore and the Philippines, at least). This is particularly an exciting time for The PR Girl Closet because of two main reasons.

LAST WEEK'S INSTAGRAM DIARY

Filtered images became a part of my everyday (online) life. The obsession with sharing photos on Instagram continues to run in my system since God knows when. I often catch myself taking random snapshots of random things I find in random places, cropping them, choosing between countless choices of filters, and sharing them to the digital universe. Kevin Systrom sure did a fantastic job in creating an obsession a trend that left thousands of people from all over the world, from age 10 to 80, hungry for the need to take selfies and share them to the world. And yes, I am (unapologetically) a part of that Instagram-obsessed generation.

I wasn't a fan of fine jewellery as I thought it tends to lose in my crazy waves of hair and it doesn't appeal to me that much in a way that chunky, bold accessories do. And the fact that I always make it a point to dress up in such simple lines and clean silhouettes, jewellery, I thought, won't look good in my outfits. Jewellery, for me, is reserved for formal occasions like special dinner dates and fashion galas. I held on to that thinking until I learned about Pinwheel Jewels.

POSTCARDS FROM BALI

Seven days in Bali left me with a new skin that's at least two shades darker and an unforgettable experience. I learned that being alone can sometimes be fun too, as this can be an opportunity for you to know a lot of people and spend some time thinking. Being away from the busy life in Singapore for just seven days is a great experience and way to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Here, I'm sharing with you some random photos I took while frolicking in the beaches of Bali alone in my swimsuit and sunglasses.

Having brought up in a tropical country, the Philippines, I am always an advocate of resort wear dressing. Light dresses, short daisy dukes and breezy singlets always come in handy when the sun shines at its strongest. Living in the tropics allows us women to flaunt our healthy tanned skin in the skimpiest (and classiest) of outfits ever invented - and accessories (or excessories, as Rachel Zoe calls it) are the best armour we can ever have. I consider myself a lucky girl when Pinwheel Jewels provided me with various pieces from the current collection of designer jewellery for me to use for my Bali trip. 

BALI INSTAGRAM DIARY

"Not all those who wander are lost", so the famous quote goes. As I was packing my bags (my trusted leather handbag and one suitcase filled with long dresses and gorgeous accessories by Pinwheel Jewels), I was having mixed emotions - I was a bit excited and more scared. It was my first time to travel alone and I was really hesitant to do it. I am absolutely clueless about road signs, I can't read maps and I always get lost so the idea of travelling alone doesn't appeal to me.
