Featured Lucenahin: Chelsy Herrera on Artsy Style

Posted on Apr 9, 2016

Hi! I’m Chelsy Ann C. Herrera, 20 years old, taking up Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.

During my spare time, I stalk IG accounts of women, especially Cara Delevigne. On my lazy day, I watch movies with my boyfriend.

I’m also fond of reading articles about new trends in physical therapy, watching new movies, and trying out new fashion fads.

Para sa iyo, ano ang fashion?

Fashion is wearing clothes that would make you feel beautiful, cute, and comfy all at the same time.

Pwede mo bang i-share sa amin ang background ng iyong fashion style at bakit ito ang napili mo?

I started to adopt my own fashion style when I was in 3rd year high school, back when I created my lookbook.nu and my Tumblr accounts which were eventually deactivated by my boyfriend because he wants to keep me out of the public eye. LOL. I get fashion tips on those sites, although to be honest, I don’t limit myself to a specific fashion style because I always want to be unique. Besides, the clothes that I wear every day are based on my mood. Hehe. 😀

Sino ang iyong fashion icon (local & international)? Pwede mo bang i-share sa amin kung bakit mo siya naging idol pagdating sa fashion?

For international style icons, I like Cara Delevigne, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, and Taylor Swift. For local icons, I like Anne Curtis. I admire their fashion tastes because they always look classy even if they’re wearing simple clothes.

Saan ka madalas mag-shopping dito sa Lucena? Pwede ka bang magbigay ng 5 stores kung saan mo nabibili ang mga damit mo?

MAGS, Top Style, SM Department Store, and the ukay-ukay store in front of Maryhill College and BDO Bayan.

Ano ang usual na outfit mo kapag pupunta ka sa Bayan? How about pag magsho-shopping ka sa mall? How about kapag nagtra-travel ka?

During normal days, I want to keep everything simple. I just put on some skinny jeans or high waisted shorts and a plain white/black shirt. Sometimes, I buy from ukay-ukay stores because of the branded stuff that can be bought from there for only a hundred pesos.

If I’m going traveling, it depends on the place I will be going to. If it’s a cold place like Baguio City, I would wear something like a bandage skirt paired with stockings and a comfy blouse or skinny jeans paired with a boxer sando and leather/denim jacket. On the other hand, If I’m going to hot places like the beach, I would wear something like high waisted shorts and a cropped top or a two-piece swimsuit.

Saan ka madalas pumuntang lugar dito sa Lucena wearing your OOTD? Pwede ka bang magbigay ng at least 5 stores, cafe or restaurants?

SM, SM, SM, SM, SM (It’s simply my favorite place).

Anu-ano ang iyong wardrobe essentials na hindi pwedeng mawala sa bagahe mo kapag nagbi-biyahe?

Make up kit, perfume, food, water, and a hanky.

Meron ka bang pinagpapatahian ng damit tuwing may party or other special occasions dito sa Lucena? If yes, anu-anong mga klase ng damit ang ipinatatahi mo at saan matatagpuan ang mga tahiang ito?

Yes. He’s my handler and also one of the favorite fashion designers of many Lucenahins although he’s not from Lucena. Walang iba kundi si Tito Jojo Alidio of Candelaria. I just love how he designs my long gowns and cocktail dresses.

Paano mo inaalagaan ang iyong mga outfit? Pwede mo bang i-share sa amin ang iyong techniques when it comes to taking care of your clothes?

Wala namang any special care, iyong usual lang. I just wash my clothes after every use.

Since malapit na ang summer, anu-anong fashion tips ang pwede mong ibahagi sa mga Lucenahin na gaya mo?

Always put deodorant before you go out kasi mainit ang panahon. Hindi lang dapat maganda iyong suot mo, it’s also important that you don’t smell bad. Be hygienic. Wear anything as long as comfortable ka. A plain white sando and shorts will do plus Ray Ban sunnies!

Bukod sa present fashion style mo, meron ka pa bang gustong i-try na ibang style? If yes, ano ito at bakit?

It depends on the trend.

Anu-ano ang maipapayo mo sa ibang Lucenahin na gusto ring i-try ang fashion style na katulad ng sa iyo?

It doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive the clothes are, nasa nagdadala lang iyan. 😀
