————————————————–

Very long day today.

Thank you RYAN UY for being so incredibly awesome and for lending us your car on this bloody thursday! I hate coding!

Met a bunch of people from college at the strangest times and places!

I give myself a pat on the back for a productive day, filled with much physical activity (lifting heavy boxes of clothes and metal racks!)

Too tired to be coherent. Again.

See you tomorrow at Rockwell! xx

Ola manille!

First night in, and allready I`m feeling the stress of the city! Prepping myself for more grueling days to come. This week includes 3 long bazaar days, 3 shoots line up and a whole lot of work in between. Stress, I re-welcome you!

Tomorrow, I`ll be preparing the items for the Rockwell Bazaar, so if you guys have any requests, let me know ASAP! :D

She has so much to say

Last weekend, I was swamped whit so much work. Let me tell you about it.

I had to wake up by 4am on the first day to pick up my friend Edric from the airport. He flew in to take photos of our S/S 2011 collection and took the 4:30AM flight from Manila. I guess I was too exited (Or stressed about having to wake up so early) that I woke up by 3am instead of 4, and coulden`t go back to bed! The shoot went out pritty well. I still am, and allways will be impressed by Edric`s unusual eye for style and art direction. Gari Son, our make up artist, was a thrill to work whit. He kept the athmosphere light and was incredably entertaining! You will be suprised to see his brilliant masterpieces when we debut our collection early next year! The models were pritty great as well. I think I made the right decision who to get. I just wish they had a more professionam agent (someone who would actually answer the phone, not leave his cliant hanging and not ask his cliant to call him just so he could yell about the stubid mistakes he made all by himself in the firt place.) The shoot took the hole day and we were pritty darn exhousted after it. Thank God I was able to cencel my would-have-been-styling-and-writing-appointment for that night, couse I really don`t think I would have done any more!

The next two shoots weren`t as long and stressfull. I had another set whit the Lea Ann , the miracle worker. I swear, this girl takes and hour to do 10 outfits! It`s a gift! Lea also takes the photos of me above during our last shoot. Im totally feeling all Harriet the spy on this! Can`t wait to see the photos, and I can`t wait to wark whit her again!

The last shoot I had is a suprise! More details when the pictures come out because they`re just too cute to leave a few sentence about! x

Dad got me this awesome new camera because I told him I needed a point and shoot that takes good pictures for my blog. Thanks to Releene for suggesting it! I wanted to get the new LX5 but they didin`t have it yet, and I coulden`t wait anymore. Plus, I`m total photography newb and the only thing I can never do is set it on automatic! I was so inspired (and feeling photographer) when I got it, that I annoyed everyone by takeing photos of our dishes for lunch, and refusing to let anyone take a bit before I shoot it! haha

 

Also, I`ll be flying to Manila tomorrow because WAGW is coing to be at the Rockwell Urban Bazaar! Rowler hats and colorfull casio whatches will be on sale together whit items from our online collection! This is the first bazaar that I`m handling all by myself, so whis me luck! (and please do visit!)

I mentioned before that my Nicole Warne look was flagged for deletion by lookbook. They sent me an email whit the rules and it said that ''full body photos are required. Any photo that fails to display at least head-to-knees or neck-to-toe will be deleted.'' I`m pritty bummed out about it really liked that photo and I didn`t have one whit my knees showing, but it`s okey.

At least it got it`s fair share of hype from Ib and Chictopia.

And atleast Nicole got to see it ! <3

P.s.

Thanks to Style Caster for the feature :D

Crap

There is too much going on in Philippines right now. I can`t think of a decent post that doesn`t involve the sad and embrassing events of the incident in Manila tonight. Know though that in my current state, I`m very sleepy and very incoherent. (Hense, ill postpone my would be rant and daily story.) What the hell is happening? What`s whit the sudden outbreak of crime and natural calamity????????????? God help us!

P.s.

Support my CADs babies this friday at the maxium Groovity 6 competition!

P.p.s.

Lookbook deteled my Nicole Warne look! :(

An ode to Nicole Warne

Because Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Vintage is awe-freakin-some.

Thanks to JackKaye for the photo, and Iwearsin for the skirt.

Came from a shoot for details by details today. Day trip to La Union! haha.

On our way back home, a jeepney totally crashed into our car and rammed his door on my side! I saw him coming at us incredibly fast, but I tought he`d slow down...Apparently not! Thank God no one was hurt!

On other news:

This shoe sounds like a stripper. I totally love it.

Thanks to Michael Antonio for the awsome set of heels!

Clothes from WAGW

In a Span of one week, this sheer cardigan was worn five times. Thrice by me, and twice by my sister. I know I know, what was I thinkin? Well, there`s just something about this cardigan that I cant get over. Semi sheer, electric pleats, pearl buttons, big bow....whats not to love? Of course, I didn`t wear it to the same places. I wore it to work, to a dinner date and to a photoshoot. Its just too umbelivably convertible and so easy to throw on whit absolutely anything! I was debating wether to get the lavender or blush colored one, and it took me quit a long time to deside. Blush won me over simply because I bought it whit this grey dress. Pink and grey make me swoon.

This weekend will be incredibly photo heavy! I`m having 4 photoshoots in 3 days! I can`t lie and pretend I`m exited. I`m exited for the photos, but not the hours of grueling labor that go into them! Im incredably devastated because I had to turn down some projects that I already agree on doing, because my schedule just won`t permit. I think I pritty much dessapointed few people. I really wish I could be superwoman and do everything at once, but alas, I can not. :( Nothing left to do but wish myself some luck.

We got the afternoon

Thanks to JackKaye for the photos!

Thanks to Sin for the top! I never wear such shiny pieces, but I loved the change and trying to make it work appropiate. (yes, this outfit is work appropiate, for I am my own boss! bwhahaha) I also loved the deep V back detail! Ultimate lifesaver from the heat when layering!

I got this blazer from WAGW but I`ve never ever used it out of the house (pang photoshoot lang). This sold out like hot cakes when it came out couse it was so cheap and the cloth wasn`t too thick for tropical weather. If you`re from the PH, tell me if you want it, I can sell it to you for 300 bucks :D [*edit: okay, that was fast! Sorry guys, blazer sold out!]

The necklace is still available online. Just link in my photo, fill this out Just link in my photo, fill this out ( http://wagw.multiply.com/photos/album/8/Place_Your_Orders_Here ) and WAGW can process your order. I wear it whit basic pieces and it automatically looks chic!:D Its only Php298.

Tomorrow and the coming days will be super duper hectic for me cause I have so many projects to work on! I have a meeting whit Zee yesterday, and Im so exited to work whit such well known people! WAGW is getting me really busy as well. All that plus a ton of photo shoots and interviews makes one busy busy week! Just a heads up incase I don`t get to blog as often.

Also, WAGW will be at the Rockwell Urban Bazaar on August 27-29! See your there!

There is nothing like an oversized white polo (another steal from my moms closet!) and some basic denim shorts for that lazy day outfit. Too bad you can`t see the shorts Im wearing. I had a little DIY project going on, and I sewed a lot of pearls into it. Will post photos soon! Also, I am totally loving my sunglasses. I don`t know if any of you have noticed, but I keep wearing them! They`re a bigger tinted version of Mike`s Ninoy Aquino glasses and they make me feel so retro! Lastly, thanks to Michael Antonio for the awesome set of heels! http://www.michaelantonio.multiply.com/

A peace of advice

Sometimes letting go of things seem impossible to do. We can try very hard to tell ourselves that we need to remember- that we deserve to. In the end though, holding on to something for too long will end up destroying you and everything else you stand for. Stop hanging on to thoughts that you’re uncertain of, and thoughts that haunt you. Stop trying to grasp for attention by bringing back false memories. Too much talk might turn everyone against you. Live in the day when the skies are bright, and relish the moment when you can finally find your way home.

Thanks for the photo, Edric Chen. :D

Clothes from WAGW

I am in love with anything that looks like my grandmother could have worn it when she was younger. I heard that writers aren’t allowed to use the term “vintage” anymore, so i’ll stick to “clothes with character.” When asked to describe my sense of style, a part of my answer always has something to do with creating more modern dimensions to clothes with character. I love getting to change the image of one item of clothing by how I decide to wear it. I love taking something seemingly unwearable and trying to make it modern and appropriate. My sister always tells me “that is so YOU” when she sees me eyeing ancient cuts and styles. When I shop with my mom, I usually end up getting the “older looking” items while she buys the brightly colored trendy ones. Strange.

You guys have no idea what it feels like to wear A/W clothes during dry season in a tropical country. Thank God Edric was nice enough to edit out the sweat beads on my face! haha.

This night I went to rehearsal and learned my pritty awesome and pritty back breaking Arabian pas de deux. After your years of zero ballet, I have 3 months to get in shape and contort my body like never before. I have that much time to perfect splitting on all ways and all sides possible and having someone lift me around and spin me while keeping my face perfectly calm. I have never realized the extent of how much it sucks to be out of shape until now (well, maybe other than my post-paris fat phase). Goodluck, me.

Just young kids

My face looks a little funky, but I still love how the shots came out, so Im posting it anyway!

I went on my 3rd Arabian dance rehearsal today, and I have to admit, I’m absolutely enjoying it! Yes, my muscles are a bit sore and I feel like they’ve been on hibernate for too long, but Im totally psyched about dancing again and moving my fat ass away from the computer. Strangely, Im having a much easier time reacquainting myself with old dance habits than trying to control my raving stomach. I seem to think its perfectly acceptable to chow down an entire buffet table as a much deserved self-pampering after rehearsal. Old habits like these are hard to break. Thank God I still have 3 more months before I reveal my belly!

Tomorrow, Im going to another shoot with the bestfriend! We’re going to WOW downtown Cebu with our awesomely “thick faces” (kapal mukha; baga’g nawng) Excited! <3

I wear SIN

Thanks to http://www.iwearsin.com/ for this top!

Thanks to http://www.michaelantoniophils.multiply.com/ for the shoes!

Photo by the very talented JackKaye!

Jack and I desided to do something different for this, since the top was very edgy and grunge looking. It was such a challenge for me to conceptualize a shoot around clothes that I don`t normally find myself in! But, what can I say? I love challenges! Jack and I desided to play around the drive way and use the car`s headlights to archieve the after-party-looking-for-a-cap-ride-home vibe. I had so much fun doing this shoot cause it came out really different! High five to JackKaye for totally achieving the look we were aiming for! High five to SIN for this awesome awesome top!
