BLOGGERS UNITED

How about that? End of the year closing in on us already? I haven't even started on the gift buying. Zoiks. I'm not sure if December means more money (what with 13th month pays and bonuses) or less money since I'll be spending it all on pressies for family, friends, boofie and myself. Heeh. Huwag naman tayo magpanggap diba? Aren't we all treating ourselves to something nice this December? Ayon pa kay Alvin of L'0real: because you're worth it. Haha.

Anyhoo, if you still have some money left over (or unspent), I've joined the Bloggers United bazaar this Dec. 3. Ngayong Saturday na yun ha. It's Andre and I, and a heap of other bloggers selling our pre-owned stuff at dirt cheap prices. Everything starts at P100. Location is at Treston International College, Taguig. And if ever there is such a thing as guilt free shopping, recycling clothes lessens carbon footprint and part of the proceeds from this event will go to the GMA Kapuso for its school building project-- getting new (technically) clothes and helping the Filipino youth’s education--two in one, yea! So head on over if you can, I'm sure the vibe will be fantastic! See you!

HELLO FROM VACATION LAND

Took time out this week to go to the beach.I wish I could just leave everything behind and unplug, but noooo. Work calls even from the sandy shores of Boracay. But still, I'm on the internet researching but I have this view outside my room, aircon on but with the salty breeze and waves crashing. Sweet! Best of both worlds really. Ill be back on Sunday but wish you were here!

ESQUIRE LAUNCH

Told you I was catching up on events. Backtracking, I remember I scheduled a shoot on the same day. It was a fashion story with a portrait of an editor anchoring the page. In other words, it was our portrait shoot, replete with hair and makeup. Convenient as I thought that I could just transition the look from shoot to event. Thing is, I only brought one dress. So it was a self challenge on how to transform the piece from one to the other without making it look like I repeated. Well, you can tell me kung achieve, the fashion story comes out on December, compare it to how I wore it that night:

Side mullet dress by Norman Noriega paired with a button-down shirt and a bow-tie. Twin tower hair with AC. =)

Other than my androgynous take on a gathering that celebrates mens style, the night was also a celebration of hot, HOT women. A lot of cleavage sightings on deep-front dresses.

Of course the bagets got it right with a combo of form-fitting without revealing too much. Incidentally, both also are on the cover of Preview October wearing Louis Vuitton.

PEFTA

I guess its better late than never. That night saw me hosting the party along with the rest of the Preview girls. And when i say host, as in, front and center with a mike. Quite an experience but I'm really not scared of public speaking, I'm more scared of going on long flights,swimming in the ocean and girls who are craftily devious.

Anyhoo, would you believe that tonight is my only free night in a month? It was closing, then went on a one week vacation, and then when i came back it was Fashion Week. No time to breathe really, so now its uploading archived photos. Im thinking even though I'm weeks delayed with the event, the outfits still speaks fashion.

Let me start with mine.
Ang girl ko lang dito diba? May sheer eklat pang nalalaman. But I super loved this dress from Joel Escober's SS12 collection. Its done with point d'esprit, covered in the front by this scrunched up heart pattern. Sweet lang ang drama. Pati pose! haha.

Okay, Rockwell Land's Malou Pineda always comes off as the epitome of class. I always like what she's wearing. This detailing on the hip reminds me of Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2011.

P1020148
Penny Ngu of Apple & Eve, effortlessly pretty and whose style i can closely relate to. heeh.
P1020152
Maximalist Laureen in surprising minimal.
P1020164
That night also saw a trending of one particular color. And its not black.
Rust and orange hues brought warm autumn colors on pretty event dresses.

MANGO FALL/WINTER 2011

Luxe grunge was the theme. Of course I had to go because my anak Anna Canlas was one of the 5 stylists doing the show. Support! Prepped my cam too because I know I'd be taking heaps of photos. Weirdly enough, not a lot of people came in plaid (the go-to signature of Grunge) as well as denim--ripped or otherwise. There were a lot of fur though, crafts (crocheted delicates) and a deluge of hats. Still, it was good fun coz technically I ended up going to three events. 1. The fashion show at the square then 2. Republiq and finally 3. Opus.

So first, style spotting at the Republiq square.
Fur Gilet + bohemian accents = heart
