My favorite Filipino Fashion Designer once said--- being fashion designer 90% hard work 10% glamorous.I totally agree with him. Mostly, my work needs physical involvement-- riding jeepneys, tricycle, walking. That's why I need to wear comfortable clothes. Over time I discover my fashion style---COMFORT!!!
Today, this is me most of the time :) denim short + basic top + cardigan
I know... I have been quiet for so long, If I'm not mistaken eight months. Whoah! that's why I miss posting outfit of the day and sharing my shopping experiences a lot! I'm gonna promise myself to keep this blog updated as much as possible.
And of course, to help also my fellow Plus size woman out there.
What I have been doing for the last seven months? Well, I did try a lot of new things from food to amazing experiences.
1. Celebrated my Birthday for 2 days of fun!

Shopping in bazaar was awesome specially with someone you enjoy hanging out with. Me, my best friend and my friend Azaza Rodriguez had fun in one of the successful bazaar in manila--- Trendsetter's Bazaar.
They featured alot of merchants that you can't see in other bazaar.

A lot of Plus size women ( including me) having a hard time to find a perfect fit for jeans. For so many years, I keep on looking brands that would cater my size. I know, a lot of International clothing brands are opening for us but... still I have fitting problems.
These are my usual problems
* Too loose at the bottom, too tight on waist
* Too long :(
* Camel-toe in between area
* Muffin top
are you with the same problems?
Well, I FOUND A SOLUTION! :)
Last week, I found THE ONE! Hehe ANKLE CUT JEAN by JAG. Why am I in love with this?

Hi girls! I know it has been a while. I miss doing this. But
today, I will not post OOTD like before. Instead, I want to share my feelings…
It might be harsh to others but… This is my first time to be open regarding my
“bully” experience.
I wrote this today, because I am tired listening to the
people who were hurting me since I was in grade school until today.
Wrath of a Plus size woman who have been bullied
I AM BERNA CUEVAS… YES! IAM A BIG FAT WOMAN! If you do not
like it, it is not my problem anymore! Deal with it.
I know a lot of plus size girls experience bullied by
friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and mostly by their families. It is hard to
be okay, if your own house was filled with negativity. I have been bullied so
many times.
When I was young, I cried and brush it off whenever they would call
me names, telling me that I’m gonna be alone (nobody will like me to be their
girlfriend/wife) or I will be infertile forever.
Today I have realized that I was too scared
to stand up for myself thinking, I am going to be disrespectful to answer their
hurtful and judgmental words towards me. Enough is enough!!!
I am fat when I was young until now! If you do not like me
being fat, Shut your big mouth...YES! I ADMIT I AM NOT PHYSICALLY HEALTHY. SO ARE YOU!
Whoever reads this
post, I want you to know. You are Amazing! They will turn you down… It will be
painful, but when the time comes… you will feel indestructibly happy about
yourself --- plus size or not.
By the way, thanks to this song. Gives me a lot courage.
Happy weekday! After a long vacation, I miss my outside life for a long time. Yesterday, we started it with simple lunch outside. Some moments playing in Timezone and ended it with a cup of coffee.
Last holiday vacation, I did not do anything but to watch movie or series in my computer. One of them is The Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. There were lines from the movie that made me realize a few things about my life before, and what I'm doing right now.
Yes I admit. I failed with my "supposed" profession (a nurse). It's really hard to think about it. The pain and disappointment really made my self-esteem very low. I see myself hurting. The process of healing was long as it was very hard for me to forgive myself. Day by day I started to feel that my hard work is worthless.
You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, if you stay positive, you have a shot at a silver lining.-- Pat (The Silver Linings Playbook)
When I see my work as a plus size designer from ERZULLIE'S Pre-Holiday and Holiday 2013 collection, for the first time, I feel genuinely PROUD of myself... thinking, Damn!! It's so beautiful and I looovee it!
It makes me realize that I was wrong... It's okay to fail. You just have to do what is in your heart's desire... and the universe will move for you! Forgive yourself and be happy!
"There's always going to be a part of me that's sloppy and dirty, but I like that. With all the other parts of myself. Can you say the same about yourself f**ker? Can you forgive?"-- Tiffany (The Silver Linings Playbook)
One way to have a nice relaxation for weekends is to be with your family or friends. Hanging out or movie dates are really cool too but one thing I would love is to travel out of town. Laguna is one of the nearest place to stay for short period of time and Villa Escudero one of the laid-back community that metro people loves to visit. :)
On this post i'll be able to join PinayCurvies Swag challenge this month. One of my favorite to wear denim jeans!
