The summer really calls for a visit to the beach, good thing, Cebu is blessed with really good ones, and just a few hours’ drive away from the city. Mactan Island is home to luxurious hotels and resorts and one of them is Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort. We decided to spend our beach outing here because they gave us a good rate. The resort also has nice spots for OOTDs and of course beautiful beach for swimming.

We arrived at the resort mid morning and it was funny because we all then spread out and did our thing, shoot OOTD photos. What I love about this bunch is that we understand what bloggers got to do when we’re at an event or a getaway like this one. We really spent the morning shooting OOTDs but it was fun because everyone loves doing it.

I wore this linen button down with tropical print which I bought a day before our scheduled beach trip at H&M, and paired with a white pants and mandals. I love the print of this button down because it’s perfect for summer, the cloth is also made of linen which breathable and comfortable to wear.

I’m really obsessed with this pair of mandals which I got from Zalora and if you read my blog or following me on Instagram, I already have a couple of posts wearing it. I also used a straw hat to protect my head from the heat, and a pair of sun glasses which I got from Metro Department Store for only Php100. You know, some good stuff doesn’t really need to be expensive.

I also brought this envelope with me and guess what, I got this at National Bookstore and I thought I can use it as an envelope clutch, and it worked! I like how it goes well with the whole look.

Sinulog Festival Outfit Ideas https://countocram.com/2016/01/15/sinulog-festival-outfit-ideas/ https://countocram.com/2016/01/15/sinulog-festival-outfit-ideas/#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2016 01:16:12 +0000 http://countocram.com/?p=544 Continue reading "Sinulog Festival Outfit Ideas"]]> Sinulog, the biggest and grandest festival in the Philippines is just around the corner and I know most of us are really excited with all the activities lined up for this year. If it’s your first time to attend Sinulog Festival, different festivities usually take place as early as December and most of the big events happen a week before the Sinulog day, which is being celebrated every 3rd Sunday of the January.

Carefully planning what to wear during Sinulog day and other festivities can really be very stressful to some. On this blog, I will be sharing some outfit ideas for different activities by mixing and matching few pieces of clothing and accessories.

The Casual Reveler

This outfit is perfect for attending religious activities such as church masses and procession. You can close the button of the shirt for a more semi-formal look.

Parties are already tied with Sinulog Festival. You can transform your the first outfit into a party look by simply changing your top with a shirt with festive prints. For indoor party venues, you can also wear a bomber jacket to make the look a little sophisticated.

For the big Sinulog day, it is a must to wear something comfortable like shorts and tank tops. It is also important to protect your head from the heat of the sun by wearing a hat and sunglasses. A water repellent jacket will also protect you just in case it will rain.

Black Out https://countocram.com/2015/11/22/black-out/ https://countocram.com/2015/11/22/black-out/#respond Sun, 22 Nov 2015 13:07:25 +0000 http://countocram.com/?p=456 Continue reading "Black Out"]]> My personal style is defined by colors, prints and textures. But lately, I slowly discovered easy dressing using basic pieces. I started to like wearing basic clothing after our Bank on Basic shoot 2 months ago. I realized that  not all basics are boring, it is really up to you on how you can spice up your look and make it standout.

Some clothing may look basic at first, but if you’ll look closer, the material is different or it has an accent detail which gives it a standout factor.

The latest look I put together, if you’ll look at it from afar, it’s just a basic black and white ensemble. But if you’ll look closer, you’ll fall in love with the details. I got this quilted oversized round-neck tee with zipper detail few days ago and it was a love at first sight when I saw this shirt. I’ve been looking for this type of shirt for while now, and the the zipper detail on the side, which is a trend right now is an added bonus. I also wore a black jogger pants with denim panel detail on the side to make the look a little sporty. I decided to go for an all black top and bottom outfit and paired with an all white sneakers which I bought from my trip in South Korea for contrast. To complete the look, I wore a black snapback with grid print.

Nautical Stripes https://countocram.com/2015/11/21/nautical-stripes/ https://countocram.com/2015/11/21/nautical-stripes/#respond Sat, 21 Nov 2015 00:55:15 +0000 http://countocram.com/?p=441 Continue reading "Nautical Stripes"]]> Nautical style is one of my favorite looks to pull off, one reason is because it’s timeless. Since the look became a hit in the 1920’s, it has became a yearly trend specially during summer. Another reason why I love this look is because it is very easy to put together. The key to nautical style dressing is coming up with an outfit which features blue, white and stripes. Pair it with boat shoes, scarf, a captain’s hat or an anchor accessories to complete your look. You need to be careful in coming up with this look though or you might end up looking like you’re wearing a costume.

You don’t really need a sailboat or go boating to wear a nautical look. It was one hot afternoon when my friend Doyzkie and I decided to visit Kristine. We were supposed to lounge by the pool but sadly it was closed, good thing we were allowed to snap some photos.

When it comes to nautical style, Regatta is always the first brand that comes to mind. I fell in love with their rain jacket as soon as saw it in the store. It’s functional, light weight, waterproof and comes in electric blue color which I really like. I paired it with a red and white stripped crew-neck shirt to make it look nautical. Then I matched it with a white pants and mandals to tone down the look a little.

Cebu Fashion Bloggers: Bank on Basics https://countocram.com/2015/09/10/cebu-fashion-bloggers-bank-on-basics/ https://countocram.com/2015/09/10/cebu-fashion-bloggers-bank-on-basics/#respond Thu, 10 Sep 2015 02:19:00 +0000 http://countocram.com/?p=418 Continue reading "Cebu Fashion Bloggers: Bank on Basics"]]> Last month, we did a photo shoot at the beautiful Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu with a theme Bank on Basics. This was in line with Giordano Philippines’ “Bank on Basics” campaign which aims to provide customers high quality basic clothing that will never go out of style. Giordano’s basic collection includes basic tees, colored shorts and pants, polo shirts and button downs.

Giordano Philippines was generous enough to provide us, the members of Cebu Fashion Bloggers, their crew neck and v-neck tees that will be used for the shoot. The challenge is for us to come up with a unique and personal look. Everyone got really excited because this is the first time that Cebu Fashion Bloggers will be doing a photo shoot with our new members.

I seldom wear basic pieces and when I do, I make sure that I wear something that will make it stand out. I picked a blue crew neck tee and layered it with a white button down, a red jersey shorts and white sneakers to match the venue. To make the look standout, I used black handkerchief as a scarf. This idea came from The Return of Superman, a Korean reality series where in one of the celebrity dad always wears it. To complete the look, I also used a small body bag which a friend gifted to me. I really like using this bag because its size is perfect to store my necessities.

I was also happy with my new haircut courtesy of Sports Barbers. I’ve always had my bangs to cover my Vitiligo, a skin condition where in a portion of the skin losses its pigment thus explain the white color. I thought that it’s nothing to be ashamed of and thank you Sports Barbers for coming up with a perfect hair style for me. Since I had this new hair style, I’ve been asked a lot about my white hair, and my answer is, it is natural. Vitiligo also affects hair and turns it into white color.
