OotD + Live Interview with DJ Suzy! :)

Mabuhay Plumpies! ;)

The past Monday, we did a live (and random, and fun, and a bit raucous) interview via Ustream with DJ Suzy, one of the hot and awesome radio jocks of the station that offers today's best music--Magic 89.9!

If you missed it, watch below! Although Danah wasn't able to click on the record button right from the beginning (grrrrr), so this video is missing the first ten minutes of the interview. :( Not to worry though, we'll definitely be doing more live interviews/shows so just keep checking out the blog and our Facebook page for future updates on live streams!

This is the first ever live interview we did and we prefer to keep it as real and casual as we could, so it's very informal, and the topics we discussed were all spontaneous and random--which always spells FUN if you ask me! ;)

Most of our readers can't believe that we only met DJ Suzy on the night of the interview, but it's true. She's just extremely friendly and bubbly, it's so hard not to be really comfortable around her instantly! ;)

Outfit of the Day: I'm bringing ponchos back, yeah!

White tank top Esprit Knitted poncho Forever 21 Striped body con skirt Forever 21 Wedges Chocolate Schu Bar Purselet Coach Shades Mango Earrings Greenhills Belt bracelet Hong Kong


Never thought I could pull off ponchos! :D I saw this knitted thing on Forever 21 last weekend, and I wasn't too sure if I liked it or not--until I tried it on. :) I can't wait to mix and match it with all of my other clothes, specifically dresses!

I am also diggin' Esprit tank tops because they're all padded, so I was able to actually chuck my bra back to my drawer and go out of the house braless, with the security that what doesn't need to be seen by the public will remain unseen!!! WHOOHOOOHAPPINESSANDFREEDOM!




My very first Coach from my mom! :) Thank you! :*


Ya'll know this is my current favorite accessory!


I love these wedges! They're so comfy to walk around in, and the style is so chic and classy. If you still don't know by now, Chocolate Schu Bar offers a variety of beautifully designed shoes up to size 10/11! :D (Yep, my feet are plus sized too!) The shoes are Danah's by the way. One of the many things I love about having a twin--my clothes and shoes automatically double in quantity! :D

More outfit posts to come this weekend! ;)

Keep loving your beautiful self,

Hey there plumpies!

GRABE ANG INIT. DIBAAA??? Grabe lang.

As I scoured my closet for my outfit today, I found my F21 cotton pants and wanted it to my statement piece (also because it's so breezy and cool for the skin). I matched it with my GAP top, F21 nude, suede cage shoes. Accessories are F21 shades, F21 gold necklace, bangles from Duty Free and the ring from Tutti Frutti Juicy Couture.

Loving my new lipstick from Faceshop! :)

Also, I met one of our dear readers today! I went to pick up my mom from a nail salon in Mega Mall and this girl across me asked if I was one of the girls behind The Plump Pinay. She said she my necklace looked so familiar and remembered seeing it here. So with the biggest smile, I said yes! I was gushing, it was so funny (I was such a dork, I tell ya). It's so overwhelming to meet one of our readers! She found out about TPP in Tricia's blog. She was so wonderful (hi Angel if you're reading this!). Makes me wanna fast-forward to Bloggers' United (an interactive shopping affair) this May 27 and meet more of you beautiful plumpies!!!

Plump love,

Danah ♥

Summer classes are here and I really want to wear light fabric that's cool under the scorching sun.

Here's one outfit I wore to school when the degrees were extra high that very sunny Monday. :)

The entire outfit's from F21 ♥

(except for my old ratty jeans)

How's your summer (or lack of)? :)

Plump love,

Cruel Summer (OoTD)

It's our first day of summer classes and here's what I wore! I'm really not happy with my schedule, but oh well, I gotta make the most out of it! :)

I wanted a real back-to-school attire so I worked with this red comfy jersey top I love!

All items are from F21 except the cream jelly belt I got from Rustan's U.

Props to my beautiful friend Annie for taking my photos! ♥

Plump love,

Let's shop FOREVER! (+ OotD #5)

I meant at Forever 21!

Finally our mom had the time to have a girls' day out with us! Our mom is a self-confessed shopaholic (much to our advantage! :D) so she likes bonding with us over shopping.

We've been telling her all about Forever 21 and their collection of beautifully designed clothes that are ALL affordable ever since we paid a visit to the store. I'm so happy that the past Tuesday, she invited us to check it out with her.

As I've mentioned in my previous posts, I'm on a phase of altering my style, clearing out my closet of stuff I haven't used for over a year (check out mi yard sale), and I'm currently buying clothes that will truly be an essential to my style metamorphosis. I just really want pieces that I can mix and match with my other clothes that will come out as stylish, yet effortless.

Forever 21's Heritage collection almost has every piece that I want to add to my wardrobe! After experimenting with the denim jacket from Gap with my other clothes, I realized that wearing a denim vest is a great way to hippie-fy and add boldness to an ensemble too. And then I found this:

and I instantly fell in love! In my head, I already pictured it with my other clothes (and it looked goooooood B)). I wore it and showed it to my mom (she has to be pleased on how an item looks on us first before she buys it for us) and she liked it too! Hooray! The gray hood gave the vest more character (which I love) and it's detachable so I can wear the vest just as it is.

Also, I have a thing for clothes that look laid back and casual (and also vintage looking clothes), that's why I liked this tank top:

It looks hippie-esque to me that's why I bought it (or had my mom buy it for me rather :D).That night, we went to Hard Rock Cafe to watch The '70s Super Band gig (which was really fun!!! Danah will blog about it) and here's how my Outfit of the Day (or night) #5 turned out:

Tank&Vest: Forever21 | Jeans: Dorothy Perkins | Shoes: Parisan Plus (SM Dept. Store)

Eyeglasses: My mom's dresser | Bangles: Robinson's Galleria Dept. Store

I think the outfit does look a bit '70s vintage... What do you think? :)

Anyway, for those of you who haven't visited Forever 21 yet, I just have a few things to say about their items. When it comes to size, the clothes in F21 are inconsistent. Some medium clothes fit me while some large ones were a bit small for me. I guess you just really have to go through the racks and try on the clothes to really know for sure if it will fit you well.

Some clothes and accessories were a bit shoddy too. Some had defects and some had frayed parts. My advice is for you to really check every part and corner of the item you want to buy before paying for it. I think it's because most (if not all) of their items are displayed for customers already so you can't just ask for a new stock. I think being meticulous isn't such a bad thing when it comes to buying new clothes (or any new item for that matter!).
