Embracing My Inner Poison Ivy

21 comments
As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, Halloween creeps around the corner, inviting us to unleash our creativity through costumes. This year, I decided to channel my inner eco-warrior by dressing up as Poison Ivy, the fierce and fabulous villainess from the DC universe. With her deep connection to nature and unwavering passion for environmental protection, Poison Ivy is the perfect muse for a costume that not only celebrates creativity but also champions sustainability.



I’ll explore Poison Ivy’s character and what she represents in today’s world. With her fierce dedication to the environment and complex moral compass, she challenges us to think critically about our relationship with nature. Plus, I’ll include some enchanting photos from my costume shoot in natural settings that highlight the beauty of the earth we’re striving to protect.




So, whether you’re a fellow eco-enthusiast, a superhero fan, or simply looking for a unique costume idea, come along for some inspiration that blends creativity with a heartfelt message. Let’s embrace our inner green goddess this Halloween and make a positive impact—one costume at a time!

The Perfect Green Blazer

48 comments /
On the day I captured these images, my schedule was packed with back-to-back meetings and an evening event to attend. Fortunately, I chose to wear an outfit that is incredibly versatile, allowing me to transition effortlessly from professional engagements to a more relaxed social setting later in the evening. This look is ideal for the office, too, especially if you are fortunate enough to work in a relatively laid-back environment. Its combination of professionalism and casual style makes it suitable for various workplace settings. You simply can’t go wrong with this outfit; it strikes the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication, ensuring you feel confident and polished throughout the day.

This collared button up blazer is my absolute favorite among all the pieces I own, and it’s perfect for the warm weather here in the Philippines. Its lightweight fabric keeps me comfortable, whether I’m at work or out with friends. I love how it adds a stylish touch to any outfit! When I saw this one on Rihoas webstore I essentially thought it was bright green, almost neon looking based on the pictures. It turned out to be dark green (my favorite shade of green) and I couldn’t be more happier about that.  
 
Confidently, I wore this blazer with a white spaghetti strap top, comfortable denim shorts, and my strappy heels. I choose to throw on a sunglasses and my snakeskin leather purse to elevate my look instantly and to create this impossibly cool look. See? Not every blazer means you have to look business casual. In fact, blazers are being worn more and more in a casual sense than in a professional one. 

Now here’s the real kicker. This collared button up blazer is priced at $25, which is truly unbelievable! Seriously, I was so happy when I discovered the deal. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your wardrobe with such an affordable and stylish piece. It's the perfect addition to elevate your outfits and bring a fresh touch to your style.
