I think I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again anyway–Guam really has no shortage of dramatic overlooks. Just when I thought I’ve seen the best view of the city, Guam Visitors Bureau takes us to the famous Two Lovers Point, a cliff line located atop Tumon Bay in Northern Guam. It overlooks the glistening waters of the Philippine Sea and offers the most breathtaking sunset. Legend has it that this was where two forbidden lovers “leaped to their deaths from the cliffside so they could be together in eternity”, hence its name. The woman was the daughter of a wealthy Spanish aristocrat and the granddaughter of a Chamorro chief. She was arranged to be married to a Spanish captain but she didn’t want to so she ran away. She then met a young Chamorro warrior who came from a modest family and the two fell in love immediately. When the woman’s father learned of the two’s relationship, he still insisted that she marry the Spanish captain, so she escaped and went to the arms of the young Chamorro warrior. Her father, the Spanish captain and all the Spanish soldiers then went after them and pursued them up to the high cliff above Tumon Bay until they had nowhere else to go. Feeling trapped, the lovers tied their long black hair into a single knot, looked deeply into each other’s eyes and kissed for the final time before they leaped over the cliff, forever entwined in life and in death.

I miss browsing your blog site and leaving comments here after I gave birth. I dont often read or browsing then, but yet you’re still gorgeous and very passionate. My very big dream is to see you personally! :D
Awww thank you Grethel! I wish you and your baby all the best! Hope you still find time to drop by every now and then!
Sexy but edgy! I love your wrap dress! Just a random thought, would you die for your partner/lover? hahaha! Lover’s point is such a beautiful place to get emo! :P
Oh my, that’s a big question. I think I can only answer that if I have a partner na :)
Amazing dress! Buying from sheinside or other asian sites, do you normally do alterations? Im size 6 so usually really cautious about the fit buying online. This dress fits you like a glove!
Nope! :) No alterations! :)
I am also wondering why romantic love story would end up being tragic? maybe because there is no forever. :) hahaha. #bitter lang po, may hugot yun. haha! lol! :) btw, I seriously love the 3rd to the last shot of yours kasi po it is so dreamy. :) amazing photos. :)
Malalim ba yung pinanghuhugutan? LOL! :) Thanks Maebs!
Hi you’re so amazing!! I love your style. I’m sorry if this was asked before but which camera do you use to take your photos? Because they look so real. Anyway i’m new on your blog that’s why i wondered. Have a nice year!
Thanks Selma! Canon 5D Mark III and Sony A6000 :)
Great story! I honestly love dramatic love stories like that. I agree with Anne that that outfit is minimal but so edgy! I have a dress very similar to that one actually. I love love dresses like that because you can just throw them on and accessorize in any way you like and the outfit instantly looks good!
I agree!!! I love dresses like this too. They’re the kind you’d keep in your closet for a long time :)
Wow – that dress! Everything is fine, but where is the second lover? ;)
LOL!
That legend tho :( sad yet so sweet :) The sky looks so beautiful! :)
Since you told a legend about love too Can I just ask if ever you get a boyfriend/fall in love, do you prefer your relationship quiet and private or public? I was just curious haha it’s okay if you dont answer this :)
Ahhh the never ending question. :) I’d like it to be private. I’ve always been private, just a few hints here and there. :)
The colours in these photos are absolutely breathtaking! Love your dress as well!

(LOL) korea has that too :)
Yeah, pressures of the society I guess. And yes, they leave padlocks here too!
Amazing pics and place! I also love your dress =D

Hi, Miss Camille! The story of Two Lovers Point is a romantic tragedy! I feel really sad the couple had to throw themselves off the cliffside. :-( I really hope they found peace. The pretty and colorful locks with lovers’ names are a wonderful tribute to their tale. I like that bunch on top of the thin post in one of these photographs.
The fifth picture is so well-captured! The contemplative feel and the aura of the clouds right in front of you is filled with an anticipation of the beyond, like you’re about to fly. I also admired the greens clinging to the bottom of the balcony. The sunlight threw the emerald hues so beautifully against the small portions of color visible. It’s like a piece of Wonderland broke through the white. :-D
I love the coastline in the last photo! The waters are so serene and the beach looks lovely. The whole scene is like silk. What more can you ask for? :-D I was playing “Kokomo” in the background!
The third to the last photo is like cinematographic art. The sunrays caught shining behind the people is one of those ‘wait-for-it’ moments. That sunset is like none I’ve ever seen. It’s like it’s own rainbow, even! I want to swim the path the rays make across the water. That golden color looks like nectar from a Pandora flower.
Now for your outfit: those boots are off-the-charts! I read through the details of your outfit and really liked the environment-friendly details. They put a lot of thought into the classic design because the footwear is in great shape for slim-form silhouette boots.
Your wrap dress is top-notch for effortless as well. I love the simplicity of the color with the amazing cut. I also noticed how the skirt has the flip that doesn’t go both ways, but just to one side like a natural wave. The bottom hem is neatly weighed. -D It’s very petal-like and delicate in relation to the deep grey color. You nailed awesome poses with it!
I also thought the gold accessories went great as metallic offsets. They look rose-gold in your outfit shots because of the sunset. :-D
Kudos on your photographs here, Miss Camille! Besides fashion-savvy, the look is also cinematographic and matte in some areas. I can see the feeling of each moment captured! I can tell you were inspired by the Two Lover’s Point!
Ahhh you must see it in person. The clouds and coastline are even better! :) I must thank David for these photos. He was super patient taking them. I just had to make the most of this view (AGAIN). :) Thank you for the lovely words Angelic!
Hi Camille! I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time, but this is the first comment I made, haha. I just love the way your outfits blend perfectly with the places you go to. I enjoy reading your travel posts since I get to see countries I’d like to visit someday. Thanks for sharing your stories and beautiful photos! :)
Thank you Cris! I enjoy sharing them with you as well! :)
Wow! That dress on me would like I’m gonna do my laundry by the river. On you, it looks like a million bucks. So sexy and romantic. Like James Bond is gonna swoop in from a helicopter and lift you out of the bad guys’ grasp. Ahhhh beautiful~ Excuse me as I continue my daydreaming…
I’m sure you won’t look like you’re doing laundry by the river haha! This dress is too sexy for that! LOL! Thank you Patsy!
What a tragedy. Why do true love stories end up like that? It’s just so sad. Good think we’re living in the 21sth century wherein we’re free to love whoever our hearts would permit us to. Lol Anyway, I love the dress. The high slit with power leg is so “Camille” and loved how you paired it with eco friendly boots. Yay for hope in humanity. Haha :D
Power leg? Haha! :) Thank you Katrin!
Your outfit is so inspiring! I wish I could wear maxi dresses and boots too (I’m 5 flat </3) Have a good day, C! ♥

I’m hoping the next time you visit Guam Miss Camille, you’ll already be with your bf/husband putting some love locks on the rails :) Indeed, a sad story yet an inspiring one to the couples who believe in forever :)
Enough with the drama :D Anyway, a headturner as always. Your height and figure is already fashion Miss Camille. The clothes you wear illuminates you more. Maybe all fashion affirmations has already been said to you and to other top fashion bloggers in the country. But what makes you stand out from the rest is your sophistication :) I couldn’t say you gained it, it’s more like you were born with it :) Keep blogging Miss Camille!
