    How did you get started blogging and what do you blog on?

    Writing has always been a pastime of mine so when I decided to take it online, it only felt natural. I started with personal blogging back when I was in sophomore highschool. It was only later did I discover my passion for style blogging.

    Which is the most overrated fashion accessory?

    Chokers. I see it everywhere but you gotta admit, they look really cute!

    Describe a typical day for you?

    I usually start my day by grabbing some brunch (because I usually wake up no earlier than noon), check on business e-mails and draft a blog post. The rest of my day varies between attending events, photoshoots or just bumming while watching TV.

    If you could be a superhero, what will your superpower be?

    Having the ability to freeze time or transport from one place to another would be cool.

    What about the opposite sex attracts you?

    Someone who doesn’t stick to small talk and has an amazing sense of humour.

    Have you ever been on a bad date? 

    I don’t think I have yet — thankfully!

  • Island girl Pia Danielle Padre

    Island girl Pia Danielle Padre

    Who is Pia Danielle Padre?

    I am Pia Danielle Padre. All of my friends call me by my first name. Mostly because there is an unwritten rule that I never be called by the second name. Lol. I’m 22 years old, I am of Spanish, Chinese and Filipino descent. I grew up in Bicol but decided to move to Manila for my studies. I’m a culinary graduate and now I’m taking up Fashion Design and Marketing at Sofa design Institute. I’ve been into fashion since I was  little. I love to design clothes, I also love to mix and match clothes like what stylists do and also I’m very interested in the buying side of the Fashion Industry. On weekends, you’ll  always find me at the beach. I’m an Island girl. I love to chill by the shore and I also love to surf! Maybe in my past life I was really a mermaid or some sort of an ocean creature! Hahaha.

    Processed with VSCOcam with g3 preset

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    I only have 2 fashion styles. Its either very “girly/preppy” look with those baby girl outfits or I’m chic-minimalist-sophisticated encapsulated in one look. I don’t like wearing print on print. There’s always 3 colors in my whole outfit look.

    2

    Which are the favorite items in your wardrobe?

    My favorite items in my wardrobe are first, My LBDs( little black dress), there’s a lot of them in my closet! I think every girl should have one or two.. Second is all of my white tops and dresses! I love white clothes cause it’s easy to pick a bag or a pair of shoes to go along with it.. Well actually, all of my clothes are my favorite. I’ve developed a deep emotional attachment with every single one of them. Haha. But the two that I mentioned are my favorites and I can’t live without them in my life! Haha.

    3

    What is one fashion accessory every lady should have?

    Every lady should have a statement necklace, a set of gold necklace with ring and earrings. A nice watch, pearl earrings and a diamond ring.

    4

    Name 3 fun facts about yourself.

    1. I love to cook! I used to be a culinary student so i developed some cooking skills. I love cooking breakfast for my boyfriend or friends whenever they sleep over at my house. I also live alone in my condo so basically, the whole kitchen is my playground! Haha I enjoy cooking for my visitors.

    2. I’m an extremely shy person. People often see it as being snob. But honestly, I’m just always shy to talk to new people. Lol.

    3. I’m a video game addict! I have a twin brother so I grew up playing video games with him and up until now, I still enjoy playing video games with my boyfriend haha.

    Here’s a bonus: I’m a die hard fan of nature. (That’s why I’m always at the beach) It calms me and feeds my soul. I appreciate everything in life and nature. I love really flowers and I grew some in my balcony and water them daily haha.

    5

    Which are your best physical features?

    I think that would be my eyes, I get a lot of compliments about it and I think my eyes tell a lot about how I feel. Haha. I also love my butt and I’m very confident with it LOL.

    If you had the chance to learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    There are A LOT since I’m very adventurous and I always want to try new things but here are the top 3 on my list:

    First  would be flying a plane. Who doesn’t want to be a pilot? I mean that’s incredibly awesome flying up in the clouds!

    Second is very simple. It’s to learn how to whistle haha. My whole life I’ve been trying to do it but I really can’t. What is wrong with me? HAHA.

    Third is to learn different languages. Like I want to speak fluently cause I might (I wish) travel the world world one day and by learning different languages, I can understand and connect with such diverse people and learn from them.

    How will you describe a romantic date?

    Since I love the beach, I picture a romantic date by the shore and we can set up a blanket with beanbags and pillows. Candles around the blanket and we can bring food and of course play chill music or we can watch a movie in a laptop or just lay there, talk and watch the night sky.. It’s very simple. I don’t ask much from guys. As long as we’re both happy, I’m already contented.

    8

    How do you define sexy?

    Being sexy is being smart, one who knows how to speak her mind and has goals in life Being sexy is being confident with one’s own self, with her own flaws and with her own curves. Its all about being confident of who you are. Loving and appreciating what you have will make you feel sexy. I think every girl is sexy in their own little ways and perspective.

  • What turns model Sheila Snow on?

    What turns model Sheila Snow on?

    Who is Sheila Snow?

    My name is Sheila Snow. Currently I live in Manila, Philippines, but growing up, I lived all over the country, from Ilocos in Luzon to Agusan Del Norte in Mindanao. I went through around eight different schools growing up.

    I consider myself somewhat of a geek. I love board games and cartoons. I also love intelligent and down to earth people.

    My two favorite hang out spots are Dyce N Dyne, a board game bar in Pasig (Facebook.com/dycendyne) and Tipsy Pig in the Fort. If you catch me there, my drink of choice is a Jack N Coke.

    I also LOVE LOVE LOVE good coffee… and NO, Starbucks is not “good coffee”

    I have a baby kitty named Maki, who wakes me up every morning and cuddles with me all day.

    4

    What’s one fun fact about yourself?

    I’m bisexual. I am attracted to both men and women. I don’t know why, and it’s not a phase. Been like that since I can remember.

    3

    What turns you on?

    Men with nice arms, and women with big boobs =)

    Craziest thing you’ve done?

    I am the biggest dork ever. I always follow the rules and am afraid to not. I swear this one time the guy I was dating dragged me into the mall…. But we walked in through the EXIT!!!! I mean something as little and as stupid as that freaks me out and I almost cried and totally got mad at him. I thought the security guards at the mall would arrest us and put us in jail! Yes, I’m a dork.

    7

    Favorite drink?

    Jack n Coke – nuffsaid

    2

    Do you spit or swallow?

    You’re talking about my Jack n Coke right?

    Choice between sweet, salty or a little bit of both?

    Sweet! OMG I love sweets! Cupcakes and chocolates and cakes and candies and gummy bears and gummy worms and gummy anything and just sugar….. get in my belly!!!

    1

    Which movie character best represents you?

    Russell the boy scout from the movie UP. I don’t know but I feel like I’m just such a goofball sometimes and like I don’t really know what I am doing in life… But I know that like Russell, I have a good heart and pure intentions and I always want to help people. Oh and like Russell, I also really love animals.

    Worst rejection you’ve faced?

    All rejection is the worst rejection! I don’t know…. I guess I’m kind of a softie at heart. I really can’t handle rejection. I get so scared and fragile when it comes to rejection. It kind of makes me not want to try anything new because I am afraid of rejection. So hopefully your readers won’t reject me when you post these =’(

    6

    Must have in your wardrobe?

    I think each girl should have that one sexy but classy outfit they can wear. So like a nice cocktail dress that can be for a business-ish type of event but can also turn some heads when you take it out to the clubs after your business meeting.

    8

    What’s sexy to you?

    Confidence. A person who’s comfortable with who they are and not really worried about what other people think. So someone who’s just themselves and not trying to impress anyone else or pretend to be anyone else.


    I’m an aspiring actress currently training with ABS CBN’s Star Magic Workshops. So wish me luck in seeing me in a big production in the future!

  • Fashion, Travel and Lifestyle blogger Patricia Prieto

    Fashion, Travel and Lifestyle blogger Patricia Prieto

    Learn more about Patricia Prieto as she talks to SimplySxy about timeless fashion trends, favourite food and the best perks about being a blogger!

    Hi Patricia, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    Hello! Thanks for having me. Well, long story short, I am a 25-year-old fashion, travel and lifestyle blogger from Manila, Philippines.

    2

    What perks do you enjoy most being a blogger?

    I think the perks of blogging would have to be meeting new & interesting people, getting to wear such awesome clothes all the time, traveling as well as working with awesome people & brands.

    Which are some timeless fashion trends you can recommend that will not go out of style?

    Dressing in basics will never ever go out of style. So keep those plain v-necks, skinny jeans and blazers in your closets!

    3

    The 3 things you can’t live without in your wardrobe?

    I know I cannot live without my favorite pair of denim shorts, a loose tank top and a pair of sneakers. I would definitely wear these everyday if I could!

    4

    How long do you take to get ready each day before heading out?

    Contrary to popular belief, many bloggers don’t take centuries to get dressed! I for one am not very meticulous when it comes to prepping, from my makeup to styling my outfit, I like keeping my prep time below 30 minutes as much as possible.

    What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

    I don’t know if I’m the type of person who does crazy things, cause I’d like to think that I fall under the good girl category. But if you count braving the Governors Ball music festival in a typhoon level storm without a raincoat and only beers to keep me warm as something crazy then there you go!

    5

    What are your favorite types of food?

    Foooood! I love food so trying new dishes but my top five favorite types of food would have to be Indian, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Korean. Wow, answering this made me hungry all of a sudden.

    If you had the opportunity to do or learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    I’d love to learn how to dance ballet all over again. I did so when I was younger but stopped because I studied gymnastics instead.

    6

    Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions on SimplySxy, Patricia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    Being sexy is being confident without trying hard.

  • Fashion designer Camille Co

    Fashion designer Camille Co

    Camille Co from Philippines is on SimplySxy with her feminine fashion style as we meet this ball of fun. Check out her photos to get dress style tips and the one must item in every girl’s wardrobe.

    Hi Camille, thank you for being on SimplySxy. Can you share a little about yourself and where you’re from to our readers?

    Thanks for having me! In a nutshell, I’m a 27-year old fashion designer and blogger from the sunny city of Manila.

    22

    As a fashion designer, how will you describe your fashion style?

    Definitely feminine. I like to use a lot of lace and stick to feminine silhouettes.

    77

    What is one item you absolutely must have in your wardrobe?

    A blazer. I think it’s the quickest way to dress up a simple outfit.

    33

    You look gorgeous in your bikini photos. What’s the secret to looking so good and staying such great shape?

    I’m lucky to be naturally thin, despite my appetite. But I also work out around 3 times a week to build muscles and to tone my body.

    44

    Tell us 3 interesting facts about yourself!

    1. I have no self-control when it comes to food and… shoe sales. LOL.

    2. All my friends think I’m goofy and hyper all the time. Don’t let this resting bitch face fool you.

    3. I’m from Manila but of Chinese race so I can speak Mandarin and Hokkien.

    What’s the naughtiest thing you have ever done and not regret?

    Mixing antibiotics with alcohol. LOL! I’m still alive and healthy so at least I got to have fun for a bit. Excuse my lame answer though. I’m generally a good girl so my naughty list is short and uneventful.

    55

    Can you describe your idea of a romantic getaway?

    A surprise getaway to the beach, with dinner set up for just the two of us and I can hear the waves crashing nearby.

    66

    Thank you so much for letting us have you on SimplySxy, Camille. Before we end, share with us what ‘sexy’ is to you?

    Sexy is knowing yourself and your body and owning it!
