Is it just me or does this top remind you of our local barong? For readers who are not from the Philippines, barong is a traditional garment usually worn by men to weddings and other formal occasions. It is made of sheer and lightweight fabric like piña and has detailed embroidery all over it.
Maybe this top reminds me of the barong because of the embroidery on it. That, and the stiffness of it’s fabric. It’s like a modern alternative to our piña and the embroidery is an updated and feminine version of the usual patterns we see on traditional barong. Can you see the resemblance now?
I really love intricate blouses like this. They’re just so striking! If ever there’s a downside to wearing heavily embroidered pieces like this one, the only thing I can think of is that some of them can look a little old. To avoid that, pair them with pieces that give off a young and fresh vibe like this pair of shorts I got from Chloe.

love this look! This post reminded me of the Valentino barong! http://www2.pictures.stylebistro.com/it/Valentino+Spring+2012+qxYWyaFQCJal.jpg yan oh! grabe no! di maide-deny na barong talaga sya! Levelling ang barong naten! Vumavalentino! haha!
Totoo! I thought so too! :)
In the 1st photo I thought the fabric of your top is super thick and heavy, I love it but I was wondering how can you manage the summer heat, your outfit was like a heat stroke waiting to happen lol but then the 2nd photo showed that it was indeed a sheer top and I loved it even more :D Gorgeous.
Oh my gosh! I can just imagine if this was thick. I would’ve probably died LOL
really love the shorts :))))))

Awww thank you KC! :) I always love reading comments like this :)
And I love reading your reply. :)
Thanks again KC!
This is so nicee!! I find the top more of a Baroque style and not much of a barong lol. Idk, we have different thoughts anyway. Hha love how you paired it with gold and black accessories. So classy ❤❤❤
Thank you Katrin! :) Kanya-kanya lang haha! :)
i want to shop with you :(( can’t join the f21 contest cause i don’t have a master card :((((
Awww :( But you cana apply! :)
The embroidery of your top and the print of your shorts look like they were made for each other, haha! The Chloe shorts is such a unique pair. Who would’ve thought of designing a pair of shorts with criss-cross laces on the sides? :) And the color is just so interestingly fresh!
Thank you Sephie! I love the color they’re in as well! :) So clean and feminine :)
So pretty and sexy:) Simple but elegant. Just curious what is the color of your hair in this photo? Thanks. xoxo <3
It was supposed to be red but it faded here :)
AAaaah if i could steal your whole wardrobe and your sense of style i totally would! You always look so so amazing! Seeing your style has given me such confidence to experiment more with my clothes and i’ve found so many great retailers and clothing lines to buy from now like ministry of retail etc!
Big love all the way from the UK!
Thank you Mavs! :) I’d love to visit UK one of these days. You already have so many nice brands there!
Ms. Cams do you graduated as val or salute during high school?do you have suitors ngayon po?I hope one day I could be one of your interns.by the way, i’m planning to take up business course, pwede po ba?:))..thank you for answering honestly…
So many questions! Haha! :) I was top 9 of our batch :) And yes of course, pwede ang business course :)
oh? bakit parang iba color ng hair mo here?
Ewan ko ba sa hair ko but these were taken months ago :)
sasabihin ko sana ms. camille na black brings out your hair color. haha!
i love the blouse and the shorts! elegant! :)
Thanks Athena! :)
Looks very elegant from head to toe! :)
Thanks Alyssa! :)
My friend and I really love the way you style and she keeps on telling me that “Please tell her that she is so pretty!”
Awwwww thank you so so much! Please thank her for me as well :)
Wow!!! i really love the colors of your outfit! :)
Thanks Moira!
