Easy Fab

Hi everyone, I hope all of you had a fun and safe Halloween last night! I didn't dress up this year, but I always love seeing all the adorable kiddos in their costumes! But let us face the reality, the sembreak is over and it only means that we are going to face books, papers, quizzes, horrible exams and more of school stuffs again. Wait...but behind those sad reality is what we are waiting for "our allowance is back!" right? 

 Back to my motive, this was a super easy outfit I threw on last weekend after going to Sirao. This is pretty much an effortless look that you've probably worn before or seen on many people.

 It's so basic and so comfortable. I love it. As I have mentioned before in my previous posts, I always aim for comfort first but without the need to sacrifice style. I just paired my off-white lace top with black high waisted shorts which I really love because they’re versatile. They’re easy to put on when you need to do a quick change of clothes like what I did and it also make your legs look longer. High waisted shorts can be easily dressed up or down. You can wear them with converse, wedges or slip-ons on my case, and I guarantee people will compliment your outfit either way. Just be confident! It takes a bold girl to rock these babies, hold your head up high and let the world know how great you know you look without bragging!

From the mini-Amsterdam garden we went to Rome(Temple of Leah).The panoramic view there at night is very fascinating and refreshing too. As you approach the temple, you will be in awe of the gigantic gold lions at each side of the stairs leading to the entrance.

  I also tried layering it with a blue denim vest to give the outfit more intrigue and depth.

which one do you like , the outfit with the vest or without?

 Through a local motorcycle ride (habal2x) from JY Square Mall in Lahug that will transport you directly to Temple of Leah with a fare of 75 each.For those who uses  private vehicle, you can get here by driving up to Roosevelt St., Brgy. Busay Cebu City. You may address your queries through calling  233 5032.

I would probably be back to this place again. 

Lots of love, Simply Gilian ;)

Sirao Flower Farm

Go to places: SIRAO FLOWER FARM

Did you ever hear about the flower farm in Barangay Sirao, Busay? The mini-Amstermdam garden of Cebu? Well, for all those who are wondering about this place worry no more as I share my experience with you.

Sirao flower farm is another new eye-catching spot in Cebu which garnered a lot of attention lately because of its captivating beauty and garden-fresh flowers. The 5,000 sq. meter flower farm has different kinds of flowers. One of the striking flower in the farm are the Celosia locally known as "tapay"  in colors red, yellow,pink and orange and ranges  from dwarf varieties that only grow four to six inches high to vigorous types over three feet tall. The farm is settled down in a beautiful peak of  Barangay Sirao, Busay, Cebu City which is known as the home of fresh and beautiful flowers. Here you can find the farms of flower that you see being sold down at the Freedom Park in Carbon market in prices tripled from the price at the farm to cover the vendor's transportation, market fees and the middlemen.

im in love with the view

                                                               

                   with your P20.00, you can take a bunch of photos you want around the garden 

not to forget a selfie

 Along the Transcentral Highway, several roadside stalls are set up from Busay to Sirao for people who wanted to get fresh flowers from its source. For a fee of at least P100, they can have their flowers arranged for a basket or a vase.

In demand to the season (all Saints' and all Souls' day) ,I heard they're going to harvest these flowers today. But still we can see these flowers back in their respective season by December and February.

There are two options to be able to reach the place  through commuting. One is through a local motorcycle ride (habal2x) from JY Square Mall in Lahug that will transport you directly to Sirao with a fare of 200 each (back and forth) or you have to ride a 62C public jeepney from Gaisano Country Mall then drop by Julies Bakeshop in Pit-Os Talamban where another set of local motorcycles are in queue for Sirao. It is around a 45-minute ride from the city to the said barangay. 

For those who uses  private vehicle, you can get to Barangay Sirao by driving up to Busay then stretch to Ayala Heights then straight to the farm wherein you can directly see it to your left. ( or you can ask the residents there for an exact location to help you get the place)

I really had a great time with nature's finest gifts.

Lots of love, Simply Gilian ;)

CASUAL FLYDAY

Finally, semestral break  is here! Im glad to be back with this outfit post that I wore goofing around, celebrating the first day of my semestral break.  

I've decided to wear something casual and easy to style outfit. An all-black ensemble lends itself nicely to a downtown look. Let’s get real: Nothing will ever replace our beloved black. The darkest shade in the book gets a bad reputation for being snoozy, but I beg to differ— black outfits for fall can be amazingly interesting. 

So, I just paired my Karolina slip-ons from Le Bunny Bleu with my own DIY distressed black jeans from JAG with a black halter top. I also accompanied it with red plaids flannel shirt around my waist for a serious ‘90s vibe and aside from that I can also unbutton the plaid shirt and wear it open over  my all black outfit to look chic and effortless.  It can also be used whenever it’s too cold  or  when you changed your mind on not showing much of your  skin while strolling around. 

 I also added some spice to the outfit by playing around the bonnet and the cap. Which one suits it best, the bonnet or the cap?

Comfy BASIC

COMFY BASIC

When it comes to dressing up, I admit that the 'comfort factor' is my most important consideration may it be for home days or when I am out and about.   So basically, I aim for comfort first but without the need to sacrifice style.  Here's my idea of simple and at the same time comfy outfit.

I just paired my white shirt with black shorts and a pair of sandals.Not to forget a cap to cover your face from the heat of the sun. So simple and whalaaa I'm ready to go :)

PS: I am really sorry the photos are not in good quality because I forgot to bring my cam that time so i just used the camera phone but i still hope this will work. (Positive vibes unlock) . 

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well.Since then I really wanted to have my own blog, in fact I already made one when I was just 11 that blog was about editing pictures and a like but unfortunately I forgot the password over the years. So now, I guess this is the new start?

I want to dedicate my first post to a short introduction to welcome you to my blog.

So, welcome! ^ _ ^

Where do I start? 

My name is Gilian. Just call me "yan" for short. I'm a 16 year old girl born and raised in Cebu, Philippines. 

This is me:

Outside my busy and stressful life as a student leader in college, I've had a huge interest in fashion, DIYs and style for a few years now, since I was 12!

This led me to create an Instagram account about three years ago in which I started posting my OOTDs and selfies, which surprisingly garnered more interest from my relatives, friends and classmates than I thought. Throughout my time on Instagram and other social media accounts, I've been encouraged and asked to start a fashion / style blogs of my friends and acquaintances for a while now which is also the reason why I am starting a blog! Yay ~ but my main reason for having a blog is to inspire others.It's wonderful when you can bring sparkle into people's lives without fading away from your own true color. By starting this blog, I really hope I can help some of you with some outfit inspiration / ideas, DIYs, go to places, and tips. 

Thank you for taking time in reading and visiting my blog. If you have any questions about me, suggestions or if you want me to check out your blog, please leave a comment down below.

Simply,
