Oh, Paris! How I’ve missed you! My mom and I flew to Paris the day after my shoot for Mango wrapped up. This city holds a special place in my heart after having spent 4 months here during my Junior term abroad. I really could not contain my excitement coming back! I swear! I love everything about this place (except for the early closing hours of establishments and closed shops and restaurants on Sundays), even the people! Contrary to popular belief, the French are not at all rude, at least in my opinion. I can go on and on telling stories about how friendly and helpful they are but I might just bore you.
So anyway, photos time! I didn’t take much touristy photos though because our trip to Paris was more of a shopping trip. I’ve already absorbed so much of their tourist spots back then as a student so this time, I wanted to experience more of the shopping. Although I was able to squeeze in a photo op with The Louvre as my background for my outfit shots! Yay!
I remember when I first stepped foot here back in 2007, definitely the biggest museum I’ve ever visited! One day is not enough!
While taking these outfit shots, there were quite a number of people staring at me, probably wondering what on Earth I’m doing haha! I felt so embarrassed! But what the hey, I’m already here, might as well make the most out of it! They were probably just distracted by my extra loud outfit anyway. At least, I got extra plenty complements on it. *blushes* The best was while walking down Rue De Rivoli, there were a couple of guys on the street who kept telling me over and over again, “very nice fashion!” They really went out of there way just to make sure I heard them haha! And in English!
Motel Rocks striped pants
Topshop shirt
Versace x H&M jacket
Chanel earrings
Mango foldable sunnies | Stylista cuff | Mango ring | Balenciaga bag
Anna Sui x Hush Puppies shoes
My shoes are suede btw. Wrong move, wroooooong move. Suede + sand = not so good!
Hype this look on Lookbook.nu here.
Hi. I just started reading your blog. Not sure is someone commented this already. Your wearing the same jacket as Jesse J in her MV Domino. I knew I’ve seen that jacket before! (I read your blog first before I saw the MV, btw.) :)
Haha I saw it too!
Hi miss camille pretty!!! I like u outfit.. Im here in paris..!! And i filipino…
How cool! Hello! Thanks Lorie!
Oh why u so tall and sexy?! Are you by any chance 5″9? I have always been jealous of your height.
5’9 without my scoliosis :( But sadly, I’m only 5’7.
Wow! Your mom is getting good at taking your outfit shots! I remembered you blogging about “training” her. Hehe. Would your sister and mom mind if they appear in your blog? I am just curious. just one group picture will do. hehe.
Yay mom! :) I’m working on it! :)
Hi Camille! OMG!! I love your shots. May i know what lens do you use? thanks!!!
Thanks Christel! I use 35mm f1.8 lens :)
i want ur old blog back..pretty please.. hassle kc i.oopen m pa ung post mo tapos back namn para makita ung iba
Hi Faith! Just right click the title to open it on a new tab para you don’t have to go back pa. You can just close the tab after reading. :) The one before kasi loads really slow. :(
More power to you Ms Camille CO!!!! YOU ARE REALLY MY IDOL!!!!
Awww thank you! :)
Very vibrant and edgy match, nice! I guess these shots are taken by your mum?
Yes :)
Lucky you! She’s really skilled and supportive!!
She is :)
You can use a dry brush (toothbrush, if you want) to clean your suede shoes. :) Afterwards, it’ll be good as new. ♥
Ohhhh! Thank you! I’ll try that! :)
i luv ur jacket & ur lippie.. :-) ano pong shade gamit mo?
Thanks! Topshop’s Ohh Lala :)
I really love your printed jacket Camille. Gorgeous!
Thanks Prei! :)
Whatta great way to celebrate your birthday too huh?
Lemme greet you again too. Heppy Birthdayz! (^_^)
I remember when I went there in 2003. I was a student pa, representing my school in a student conference in Germany. Feeling fashionista ako nun waaaahhh. I had no money to enter the museum so puro picture lang sa labas hehehe. 10 Euros na nun ang entrance waaaahh. I’m sooo poor. LOLZ.
Take care always! Enjoy the rest of your stay. And yes, very nice fashion! (^_^)
Haha Thanks Chai! :) Wow! You must’ve been a really good student!
Hi Miss Camille. Belated Happy Birthday :) Lucky to go to Paris. Enjoy there!! Love your outfit, by the way. Your Chanel earrings are so beautiful, and so are you. Hope you will stay the same and become a better Fashion Blogger.
Thank you!!
Thanks Nadine! :) I love my earrings too because they’re the same as my initials haha! :)
Ate Camille, belated happy birthday po! Swerte nyo naman po na nandyan kayo sa Paris! Gusto ko talagang pumunta dyan dahil alam ko na dyan ko makikita ang meaning ng Fashion <3 Sana yan din buhay ko! Living my dreammmm<3 Ganda po ng outfit nyo! :)
Thanks Loraine! Hindi naman kailangang nasa Paris pa! :) You can find fashion anywhere! :)

Thanks Cristine!
I really love your printed jacket, Camille. Matches with your bottom. I really like it! :))
Thanks Prei!
I love how you answer to everyones questions ate cams haha! Love your hair as usual!! :)
Thanks Janika! :)
hey miss camille! i was the one who told you i wished we could have a picture together just like my twin sister when she saw you in a mall.
anyway… ive always loved printed pants and those wide legged pants that is somehow see-through, in a way or so. I have one each and my problem now is that i cant wear them for i do not know what shirt or blouse to pair them with. Everytime i try to mix and match, i end up looking like i am going to bed, like im wearing pajamas. :(
Help? Thank you!
And One more thing, i message you in instagram. Tha Louvre reminds me of dan brown and davinci code. I love that novel and seeing you there in that exact place is just fascinating!!!
Thanks again!!!
Hello Genny! How about a breezy tank top? :) In times like these, try searching online or in magazines for inspiration then slowly experiment. :) And yes, I got your message on Instagram! It reminds me of Dan Brown too!
Miss Camille, i tried something weird. print on print. I tagged you on Instagram for you are really an inspiration to me. And because I am also a high school teacher who still wants to look great at 23!
Thanks miss Camille!
Wow! I’m excited to see it! :) Tag me again if I don’t comment tomorrow :)
Miss Camille, i tagged you twice in instagram.
Oops! Sorry! I’ll check it out! :)
I am so in love with your style
There’s always a little pop of color :)
Thanks Maggie! :)
you are such a dolly Camille!
Thanks Hikari!

Thanks Alison!
Hey Camille! you’re actually one of the first blogs I followed and I really wanna say that I love your outfit posts, plus you’re so beautiful! And this post tops everything :)
Keep up the great job! x Much love from Beirut, Lebanon.
Wow! All the way from Lebanon! Thank you Zayd!
You look so gorgeous :)
Thank you!
I adore how you stay grounded and nice despite of all your success. Keep it up Camille. And oh lovely photos too. xx :)
I try my best :) Thanks Maggie!
Hi Camille. Belated happy birthday! :) you’re so gorgeous! I know you’re a fashion blogger not a dermatologist but do you have any tips how to make ur skin look so flawless like yours? :’)) And what is the color of ur har? Thanks! Keep on inspiring us! :*
Thanks Emily! It’s not flawless! I just make sure to cleanse my face 2x a day and put the necessary creams :) I also try to have cleaning at the derma every month or 2. As for my hair, I’m not sure what color it is but if it helps, I go to Park Jun Salon for coloring.
French people are only rude to Americans. That’s why when I go over there I won’t even say a word about being American! LOL I’m Filipino!

Oh! I wouldn’t know! I hope this isn’t true. I really think the French are nice :)
Oh, paris is such a wonderful place, i hope I could go there someday… I really adore your fashion sense… And youre great a combining outfits which is very wonderful… And Belated Happy Birthday!! Sorry for the late greeting and I like your hair and also your pants and sunnies :)

You really belong in Paris. You fit right in. And those stripes make you look taller than you already are :p

But I love Manila just the same. :) I wish it’s easy to go back and forth Manila and Paris! That would be the best! :)

Thanks Czarina!
Hi Camille! What camera do you use? :D :)
I use Nikon D7000

Thanks Grace!
Ow em! Paris. :) Yea, people (surveys) say that French people are rude, and I’m really hoping that that isn’t true ’cause I wanna go there someday (my dream).
*Your outfit here really a head-turner and so are you. You’re striped pants made your legs look moooore longer. :)) Ms. long legs lang ang peg :) (alikabok ba yung nasa shoes mo?) :)
*YOUR striped pants. sorry just have to correct myself :))
Thanks Roy!!!That’s sand. :(
at the first glance of your whole outfit, i was like “suede shooeeess??” but anyway, very nice fashion! :D
Haha thanks Elaine! I know I know! Suede! At least I was still able to clean them after :)
Sana makapunta din ako ng paris. Hahaha! And it will be a lot better with you. Someday! :)
It’s really a magical place!
I kinda regret getting the men’s version of your jacket. Yours looks much better! But hey, we both wear Versace x H&M!!! We shouldn’t be complaining. :)
kisses from Tokyo
True! We shouldn’t be complaining! I’m sure there are plenty you can do with the men’s version :)
Oh we had the same dillema. I had suede boots then! And those boots were black. Wrong move! :)))))
Haha!
For me, you are legendary! I follow you everywhere! Pose, lookbook, etc eyc. I even save all your outfit post for future use! Haha! You are one of my idols alongside Anne Curtis, Alexa Chung, Maggie Wilson and more! You are so classy I wanna be like you hehehe. God bless you!
Oh wow! Thank you Jenny!
