Sporty Chic

Holding on to the wire fence, looking awkward.

H&M Pineapple Bralette | GOWIGASA Black Leather Skirt | Romwe Varsity Jacket | H&M Socks | Converse Sneakers | GOWIGASA Dope Snapback

Today I wanted to go for a sporty look that also gives a girly vibe. So, what I did was I paired my varsity jacket with a leather skirt (A-line) and this super cute pineapple bralette from H&M! :) I really love how the vibrant colours of the bralette create a pop of colour to my outfit.

To top it off, I wore a snapback to give an edgy touch, stripe knee-high socks that scream sports, and an extremely comfortable pair of sneakers! :D

By the way, I was very relieved when I found out this tennis court was empty so I could do the shoot without kids staring at me like I'm a circus act.

Oh, if you have time, kindly visit our web store, GOWIGASA as we just uploaded a bunch of new stuff! What's more, we also released our first basic collection that are designed and manufactured by us! At very affordable prices, of course. Basics are very essential to everyone's closet as they are timeless and come in very handy when you want to mix and match your look. So, we hope you can find something that you like! ;)

Elle and Jess Back to Black

So..? What do you think? ^^

Okay, first of all, yes, those are wigs. Few days ago, when we posted our pictures wearing them for the first time (see it here and here), some people thought they're for real lol. Well, they do look and feel pretty real to us, too. AND as you might know already that changing your hairstyle could really change the way you look, our dear brother was dead stunned when he saw Elle walking out of the elevator. Jess' bf didn't even dare to greet her when he picked her up at our apartment lobby. Both of them thought they saw someone who look completely similar with us, only with different hair lololol.

On Jess: GOWIGASA Black Floral Dress and Sheer Black Stocking
Swaychic Heels

Well to be honest, it felt like a looooong time since the first time we coloured our hair (circa 2011), so maybe because of that, when @nonataliashop offered to sponsor us, we both picked these black ones in a blink, without even telling each other beforehand! Talk about telepathy.

Both our wigs have the same color: Jet Black. Even our natural hair color is not as black as this lol. Maybe because we did a lot of outdoor sports back then.. But THIS jet black color totally gave us a shock when we first tried it on. "So this is how we'd look like with @bellevalencia's* hair..." we thought.
*our cousin whom shiny-healthy-always-perfect hair should really be insured

We think black gives you this cool-mysterious-girl look, which is why we paired it with these outfits. But you know what, after this sudden Back to Black sessioneven though some people convincingly said that we look better in black, we actually got ourselves *even* reassured that we look better in our colored hair.

Ah well, it's all simply a matter of taste, right? ;)

Again with the 90s + GOWIGASA Giveaway Winners #2

What I Wore: GOWIGASA American Flag Midriff Top, Commes des Fuckdown Beanie, Rayray Sunglasses, Spiked Bracelet | ZARA Ripped Jeans and Heels | Topshop Lipstick in Rio-Rio

I've been re-watching FRIENDS for God-knows-how-many-times, and I really love the style they wore back then, which was the 90s.

So for today's outfit, I opted to channel my inner 90s kid... A cropped top or the belly shirt, ripped jeans that make it appear like you've been through a fight, and a pair of red lips :)

Is there a certain trend from the 90s that you really love?
I know one trend that I hope won't make a comeback, that is Biker Shorts.
Oh, and butterfly clips.


Anyway, in case you didn't know, we were hosting the second Gowigasa Giveaway on our blog, and today we are so happy to announce our giveaway WINNERS!!
