There's something about this color that keeps me gravitating towards it. I've been obsessing over these warm fall colors lately that I think it's gotten to a point where I want a wardrobe overhaul just because. Warm, earthy and rich, this red-orange color complements my skin tone perfectly (and surprisingly at that.)
Years ago, I would have dismissed it as something very unflattering-- something that looks dull bordering on irredeemable faux pas. But fashion has a funny way of knocking some sense into us. Case in point: Me back in first year college buying all 7 shirts in the exact same shade to wear to my first few weeks of class. Imagine me wearing a different shirt (baby tee, our generation would call it) everyday but in the colors rust, burnt sienna and terra cotta. EVERYDAY for almost a month. Friends were actually teasing me towards the end of the second week asking if this color was my uniform for no-uniform-days. You bet I turned terra cotta from embarrassment!
But this was the time I learned to love this color. From my shirts to my bag, my slip-ons and even my Nokia 3310 case (too happy they're bringing it back!!) It was a love affair only I understood back then. But then came the hot pink obsession, moving on to the pastels and eventually the fiery reds. This color took a backseat in the farthest reaches of my brain only to have it thrusted back into the spotlight when this became the it color of 2015.
A perfect blend of red, orange and brown, this earth tone is slowly taking up space in my closet again. Paired with softer hues like nude, blush and gray, terra cotta achieves a warm feminine look. For something more dramatic, black is your strongest bet.
This Zaful Wide Leg Pants is made of cotton blend material and with its loose fit, it's the perfect blend of style and comfort. Paired it with a SammyDress Off-the-Shoulder shirt to give a smart casual dress code a spin.
Nothing like a statement purse for accent. With enough space to hold your phone, facial tissue, lipstick and compact powder, this Rose Gal cross-body bag is the perfect size for all your formal engagements.
Needless to say, I'm on the prowl for more terra cotta, rust and burnt sienna pieces. So, what's your current color crush?

A month ago, Vivo Philippines flew regional bloggers to Manila for the launch of Vivo V5. With fellow Cebu Fashion Bloggers admins Marco, Doyzkie and Jean, we hopped on a plane to take part in the unveiling of the first ever 20MP front camera smartphone-- first in the industry to incorporate a high quality front-facing camera aptly labeling it as a Perfect Selfie phone.
Vivo, the top 5 global smartphone manufacturer, today revealed its secret to
perfect selfies with the launch of the Vivo V5 smartphone. The Vivo V5 smartphone boasts Perfect Selfie
capabilities with its high-quality front-facing camera, fast performance, and upgraded features that
ensure great experiences for its users.
“The V5 embodies Vivo’s relentless pursuit of innovation, with technologies and functions that our
consumers look for in their device. With the V5 and its industry-leading features, we continue to push
the boundaries of a premium mid-range smartphone as we highlight Vivo’s high standards in
smartphone design and feature,” said Vivo Philippines Vice President Hazel Bascon.
Premium mid-range elegance
The Vivo V5 sports an all-metal unibody shell back case that comes in champagne gold and rose gold
colors. Up front, it features a 5.5-inch 1280x720 HD display clad in 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass for
protection, giving the V5 an ideal premium feel in the hand. Performance wise, the Vivo V5 is equipped
with a MediaTek MT6750 octa-core processor running at 1.5GHz and paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB
of internal storage expandable via micro SD up to 128GB.
The V5 also features a front-facing fast fingerprint scanner capable of unlocking the smartphone in as fast as 0.2 seconds. It also features fast-charging technology to quickly top-up its 3,000mAh built-in battery.
Redefining the perfect selfie
The Vivo V5 features an innovation that is set to be the benchmark of future smartphones. It is equipped
with a 20-megapixel Moonlight front-facing camera featuring a 1/2.78” Sony IMX376 camera sensor
coupled with a 5P lens system and an aperture of f/2.0. It also comes with a front-facing soft-light flash
that helps illuminate its subjects whenever they take a selfie, ensuring that its users can capture perfect
selfies anytime and anywhere.
Meanwhile, its rear camera boasts a 13-megapixel sensor that features phase-detect autofocus that will
help users snap photos as they happen.
A Plus for the family
Vivo also revealed an upcoming device that is set to supplement the Vivo V5. The Vivo V5 Plus will
feature a similar form factor as the V5 smartphone at 5.5 inches, but will feature a 1920x1080 display
and 20-megapixel dual front-facing cameras that are set to enhance the perfect selfie experience of its
users.
Vivo also announced Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry as part of the Vivo family. The
two-time NBA MVP and Golden State Warriors point guard will serve as the new face of the Vivo V5,
highlighting its perfect selfie capabilities alongside local influencers Mccoy de Leon and Verniece Enciso.
The Vivo V5 will be available in
Vivo concept stores and major retailers nationwide for PHP 12,990. Consumers can also pre-order the
V5 smartphone in major retailers starting November 23 to receive exclusive freebies including Vivo
speakers, Vivo selfie stick, and a Vivo-branded phone stent.
