Le Petite Wears

Winter is officially over and summer has finally landed back in Doha! As the temperatures continue to rise, it is also the perfect time for a refreshing dip in an icy-cold pool, isn't? Time to take out those trendy sunnies, pull out your cutest dress, wear those slouchy trousers and seize the day. Don't forget to put on some sunscreen! Getting ready for summer is much easier than getting ready for winter. It's effortless, light and affordable too. But, staying cool and looking cool in this hot and humid AF weather is not easy! That is the reason why a lot of people stick to light-colored clothes because they tend to absorb the heat less. Despite the heat that we’re currently experiencing here in the sandpit, and although white/pastels are the preferable colors this season, wearing clothes that are brimming with colors under the sun’s scorching heat is also becoming a thing now. Bright colors can actually be worn year round. You just have to figure out how to balance th em p...

Aside from delicious foods, amazing temples, and palaces, Bangkok is also a shopaholic's paradise! I think you can find almost everything in Bangkok even the weirdest ones. It is an overwhelming city and ridiculously cheap! In our 6-day trip to Bangkok, we were able to visit some famous malls and night markets like: 1. Platinum Mall 2. MBK Mall 3. Asiatique 4. Ratchada Train Market 5. Pratunam Mall 6. Chatuchak Market Shopping in Bangkok should be in your itinerary especially if you're a first-timer. Just remember that Bangkok is a hot and humid city so always keep yourself hydrated. Bring an extra shirt with you, face tower and of course, wear comfortable shoes. I will be posting a separate blog post about the whole experience including our itinerary and budget. For now, here's my clothing haul from the trip. I'm now actually looking forward to going back and splurge till I drop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5YbBRhhP6o&t=120s

Aside from partying and a lot of eating, one of the things that I love when the holiday season starts to kick-in is "dressing up!". Dinner invites, Thanksgiving, several Christmas parties and NYE give me a lot of reasons to put an effort into my outfits. In this blog post, I will be showing you my New Year's Eve outfit. Nothing glam/fancy, just dressed up based on my mood because after all, dressing up is all about making yourself feel good. How do you like my NYE outfit? Let me know your thoughts on the comments section below :)

DISCLAIMER: I am not, in any way, bragging. I am just thankful that a brand like Hollister would actually trust me to work with them. This is an appreciation post and also to share with you a couple of amazing pieces that you might like to have in your closet from Hollister. 2018 was good! It even got more exciting when Hollister Qatar contacted me again not only once but twice last year to do a collaboration. The first one was for their summer collection and the second was for their Holiday collection. Below are two outfits that I personally chose from the Holiday collection that will suit the Doha's weather as of the moment. Are you ready to enjoy the cold breeze wearing Hollister items? Thank you so much Hollister Qatar for the trust! It is my pleasure to work with the whole team.

Before I travel from one place to another, I always make sure to research and check the weather beforehand. This will allow me to save time on packing and also, knowing what to pack means you'll be able to save more space for other stuff that you might want to bring along your trip. Months before our Taiwan trip, I've contacted my cousin (who's currently residing in Taiwan) to ask her bits and pieces about the country. For the weather, she told me that it can get as hot and humid like in Manila. I followed all my cousin's tips when visiting Taiwan. So, I've brought with me lightweight & breathable clothing pieces only. Take a look at all the pieces that I've donned from our Taiwan trip last May 2018. DAY 1 - ARRIVAL IN TAIPEI Choosing comfort over style on the first day, that is what I am every time I travel to another city or country. I always prefer to wear something very comfortable at the airport and during the flight. (I don't mind wearing PJs!) Wha...
