PetPOP

Hi loves,

Have you all heard of PetPOP? It’s the first pet themed pop up museum for pet parents & animal lovers in Los Angeles! Although, I didn’t get a chance to bring my own fur baby with me. I had so much fun posing and taking photos at their different super cute photo opps below!

This animal friendly pop up museum is also amazing for date nights, girls night or even another way to spend some time with family and friends and make new memories. Dont miss out and visit them now before they close. At the very end of the experience, you’ll also get to meet adoptable super cute doggies that you can kiss, cuddle and take home with you from PawWorks. Make sure to pay them a visit and also find ways you can volunteer!

XO,

Joy

Head Over Heels With Steve Madden

“Give a girl the right shoes & she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe

How many women can relate with this quote? Exactly last week, I had my first fashion show featuring Secretly A Mermaid  and wore these Daisie Heels for the first time! I was sooooooo nervous (as I’ve never walked down the runway before), yet excited as these heels made me feel powerful, strong & sexy.

This weekend I wore them again as I went to Conquer LA photomeet in DTLA. I love how chic this ultimate classic iridescent pointed toe pump is. This sexy style is a timeless silhouette that every girl should have in her closet!

I also shot a quick silly video just because it’s fun & it’s important not to take life too seriously sometimes. So I invite you to grab your pair of Steve Madden  Daisie Stiletto Pumps, have fun & recreate this video in your own way! 😉

Puppy Friday With Solid Gold Pets

Before summer ends, I wanted to make a matching outfit of me and Coco and a few weeks ago, I finally got a chance to do that. We went to the dog park in Hollywood and we got so many compliments! Coco also had so much fun running around with her fellow doggies!

Last month, she actually tried Solid Gold Mighty Mini and she couldnt stop eating it. Coco is normally picky with her food so I was glad to see that she loved this one! This grain- and gluten-free recipe is made with USA-sourced beef, nutrient-rich fruits and veggies, and a balanced blend of superfoods with omega fatty acids. She loved the savory lamb, sweet potato recipe – especially the wet food – it was also filled with plus nutrient-packed superfoods like vitamin E-rich cranberries.

I was thinking of doing more blog posts like this one where Coco and I have matching outfits – what do you guys think of this blog post?

3 Reasons Why You Should Go To The Fair

AfterlightImage 131

When I think of fairs, it reminds me of my childhood – when my grandpa would take me and my cousins to the fair every summer in the Philippines. If you still haven’t gone to the fair – you definitely should & here’s three reasons why~

AfterlightImage 137

AfterlightImage 133

AfterlightImage 135

  1. There’s animals & there’s a section that you can actually play with them!

AfterlightImage 140

AfterlightImage 132

2. Almost every corner is instaworthy – especially the rides! Go ride them ~

AfterlightImage 134

AfterlightImage 138

3. It’s pretty romantic. Go on a stroll with your significant other & enjoy the night. Also, there’s curly fries & never ending junk food!

AfterlightImage 139

And I’m not sure if they still have this on Groupon but they have a deal for 2 tickets + a parking space for $29 only. It’s such a steal.

17th Annual Claremont Village Wine Walk x Charriol

AfterlightImage 119

It’s always wine o’ clock somewhere! Last weekend, I was invited to go to the 17th Annual Claremont Wine Walk and boy, was it so much fun! We started our walk with I Like Pie Bakeshop & not only did I fell in love with their Orange Moscato but oh my gosh, their Strawberry Rhubarb pie is to die for!!! Definitely coming back there whenever my sweet tooth starts kicking in.

We then kept going with our wine walk and had to stop by at this cute little alley and took a quick #ootd picture as I also made this two piece printed rose outfit just for this event!

AfterlightImage 138

As we kept going with our walk, we found more shops handing out yummy wine, food and saw some really cool artwork too!

AfterlightImage 136

Eddie and I also found this unique gift shop, Rio De Ojas! They have so many cute little things and decorations you can easily give to anybody, especially for halloween just around the corner!

AfterlightImage 129

We then hopped off to Noren’s Nursery, which is one of my favorite nurseries in Claremont! I want this to be my backyard someday with their little succulents! Just come check them out. They have some serious interior goals!!

AfterlightImage 133.JPG

Another shop I fell in love with is Speckled Hens. This store has a hand-selected, ever-changing merchandise, seasonal treasures and holiday displays, creating a unique shopping experience every time you visit.

AfterlightImage 132

And right next door is Linda Lloyd Antiques selling antiques & interiors! When I get my own house someday, definitely coming back to shop here for decors.

AfterlightImage 119

Another shop that’s worth the stop in Claremont is Amelie. It’s a cute little store that carries high end brands like Free People, 7 For All Mankind, and Lolli Swim.

AfterlightImage 132 copy

And for our last stop, we had to end our night with ice cream from Bert and Rocky’s. I don’t even remember what we got (hence from drinking wine all night) but it tasted like premium strawberry ice cream mixed with fine wine and everything is made in their little shop!

AfterlightImage 140

Once again, thank you Claremont Village for sharing this wine-derful experience with me! Such an awesome way to end my summer!

AfterlightImage 131

Also, super in love with this dangling Marguerite Charriol necklace! It’s light, elegant, gorgeous & easily goes with any outfit/season inspired by the Daisy flower! I normally don’t like wearing jewelry as I easily get irritated and I dont like it when they’re super heavy and it hurts my neck but this one was just perfect.

AfterlightImage 126

We seriously didn’t want this night to end. Will I see you in the next wine walk? Dont forget to look out for the tickets next year as they sell out fast! Hope you babes had an amazing summer! Now who’s ready for fall?

Influencer Essentials And Why You Need Them

As a blogger/influencer, it’s very important to carry the right things in order to be successful in what you do. A few of the things that I need the most are all in my High Sierra Backpack. I love that it includes a matching zippered accessory pouch, has side pockets, a core organizer with multiple pockets and key fob, adjustable drawstring closure and a place where you can put your tablet inside and that it’s water resistant!!!

AfterlightImage 101

AfterlightImage 102

AfterlightImage 104

AfterlightImage 105

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s actually inside.

  • an extra outfit
  • an extra pair of shoes + accessories

(it’s always to great to bring extra outfits so that you can make use of your time and place that you’re currently shooting in)

  • props (i personally love bringing props when I have photoshoots)
  • a mirror (i also always bring my long mirror in my car so i can see what i look like as i change from head to toe)
  • a laptop (when i have more time, after shoots, sometimes i get really excited and i like to edit right away.
  • a professional camera with a tripod (whenever, I’m not with a photographer – its great to have a tripod so you can always take photos of yourself)
  • bliss world lotion – a cult favorite moisturizer that’s rich & quick absorbing, leaving skin smooth and never greasy! – living in Cali – it’s so easy for us to get ashy (and you do not want to look ashy in your pics! TIP: if you can eliminate as much photoshopping in your photos later on – the better!
  • hcxo sleep mask – believe it or not, i actually need this as being on the road all the time, i sometimes have a hard time sleeping. It is made of 100% silk, the softest, most breathable sleep mask you’ll see me wear.
  • almay goddess gloss – i love bringing different colors of these with me because they keep my lips moisturized, smooth and never sticky and they’re made with pomegranate, raspberry and grape oils.
  • garden of life – if you know me, im always hungry! New GōL Bars are organic lifestyle bars that are made with just 8-to-10 simple whole food ingredients. I also love that it’s high in protein and fiber with no added sugars.

Travel With Rove x Petals N’ Wings

AfterlightImage 99

Last Sunday, I went to Clairmont Farmers’ Market for the first time and I fell in love with how dainty this little city is and how lovely everyone is in the market place. The first thing I saw was the little sunflower shop (which if you didn’t know, I’m obsessed with sunflowers – I’m led to believe that they are my favorite flowers, I once drove across the state just to see them bloom – yet once I got there, they were dead) Anyways, these sunflowers were painted and colorful!!! I was sooooo in love!

AfterlightImage 71

I also fell in love with my new watch from Rove Watch. I am obsessed with their Bella White Watch, as it is light, delicate and even more gorgeous in person. I love the white strap as it goes with mostly everything and the gold finishing. I plan to take this watch with me every where I go especially to my next travel destinations.

IMG_2473

After going through the farmers’ market, my boyfriend took me to Petals N’ Wings. They have the cutest garden filled with succulents, cactuses and garden accessories. Every corner was insta worthy or another cute plant ready to inspire you and make you smile.

And they also sell swings, chairs, tables and more garden accessories.

What do you think about this nursery? Did you fall in love with it as much as I did? I also plan to do more some travel blogs and start locally like this one. Penny for your thoughts?

Activewear That You Can Wear Anywhere

I never thought I’d be that girl that lives in active wear everywhere I go. Last week, I visited this cute dainty little town by Joshua Tree called Pioneertown  But when I discovered Smart One, it definitely became one of my favorite active wear brands. It’s super comfortable, made with durable, performance fabrics & fashionably cute! My favorite top is their Eva Landscape Sports Bra. It has adjustable straps and mesh inserts that keeps me fresh and feeling my best.

AfterlightImage 79

AfterlightImage 81

AfterlightImage 77

I also love that they have the Belle Pink Capri to compliment it. They’re super soft and light with UV protection and moisture wicking. The fit is just perfect that I almost feel like I’m not wearing anything. But my ultimate favorite part about them is they’re high waisted and it hugs my body just in the right curves! 😉 And last but not the least, it has versatile hidden pockets! AHHH. I’m super sold. A lot of times, I’m always looking for pockets when it comes to activewear and finally I found one that has them.

Do you have a favorite activewear line? If you don’t or even if you do, you definitely should check out Smart One!

Hi friends,

On June 16, 2018, Eddie and I went to the Lavender Festival <3 It’s probably one of my favorite festivals yet as it’s celebrated at the beautiful 123 Farm at Highland Springs Ranch & Inn where the organic herbs are grown.

They also serve lavender everything – from drinks to ice cream with live music!

35496492_10156328615178798_3224683698062360576_n

You can also make your own lavender crown! But we came a bit later so we were too late!

35429377_10156328615438798_5081675253017477120_n

They also have mini cute shops that sell oils, soaps, candles, spices, teas, books, honey and even bread!

Then there’s two huge fields with lavender where you are free to take pics and there were also horse drawn carriages where they give out guided tours.

And of course, I had to make an outfit for this gorgeous event! I made floral flowy dress that ties at the front. All portraits are taken by my photographer boyfriend, Eddie <3

35413900_10156328615028798_2383284434951471104_n

If you missed this year’s event, I hope you make it next year. It’s so worth it and have I mentioned relaxing?
