Heres to hoping

Hello Manila!

Traffic was INSANE today. It took me two full hours to get to Ortigas from the airport! I went over to SM Megamall (because I didn’t know that the sale was mall-wide) and saw the freakishly long lines to get in F21. People were coiling around the entire wing! I walked past the line and I swear I could hear snickers (probably girls saying “She has no idea what she’s in for!”) I asked the girl in front how long she’s been in line, and she said she’s been there since this morning… Soooo, I said screw it. Not waiting that long. I can get cheaper stuff at WAGW ) Hahaha

I bought a few pretty things on the way to the car, and made my way to Galleria (which, by the way, was also on sale!) Can I just say, Manila, this is one crazy weekend. After getting annoyed at everyone panic buying, the shopping adrenaline kicked in and I ended up panic buying myself. Will not divulge exactly how bad it was, but lets just say I got a semi-huge cut on my thigh because of it. Hope my dresses will be able to conceal it for tomorrow’s shoot and the two events with Preview in Cebu. Its so strange that I make my way to Manila when the whole Preview team is in Cebu. And you guys know how much I love Preview.

Tonight, I will dose myself with some hydrating masques from Kiehl’s and then get some shut eye.

Tomorrow’s gonna be one LOOOONG day.

Setting up WAGW for the Think Pink exhibit tonight at Ayala. It’ll run from October 15-24, so drop by and check us out if you have the chance . We’ll be located in front of Topshop at the first level

Also, Marky C.’s photos of Mike and I are up, and they look absolutely great! Check them out!

Lastly, will be flying to Manila tomorrow for the day! Hoping this new endeavor turns out well!

We’re getting there

I get attracted to pretty random things.

I have a bunch of awesome looking buttons, swatches of cloth that I’m probably never going to use, cute embellishments and beads to name a few. Maybe its the budding designer within me (ha!) or my inability to resist the urge to shop, even for the most mundane things.

On a trip to the textile store, I felt somewhat crafty. I picked up a bunch of faux pearls, and decided to make something with it. The crafty side of me doesn’t come very often, so once it does, I make sure to attend to the desire and create! A few stitches later, I finally come up with my first pair of pearly shorts, and Im loving every inch of them!

Thanks you JackKaye for the photos!

Send me some love on Lookbook and Chictopia!

Also, I have a few discoveries I wanna share with you.

1. I just got the NARS lipstick in Roman Holiday last Sunday, because I lost the pink lipstick I used during my last shoot with Edric. I must say, the color is stunning, and the consistency of the product is perfect. My lips are kept moisturized and soft while the color stays on for a very long time. This may be a risky thing to say, but I think NARS is probably the best lipstick I’ve ever had!

2. My mom lets me put on some SKII post toner and pre-moisturizer. Its an added step to your skin care regimen, but she swears it works. I’ve only started using it, so I really can’t tell you if I personally like it, but its worth a shot. My sister in law says her blemishes reduced dramatically, and she’s had to use less and less foundation everyday. Convincing!

3. I use this deep plum eye shadow with a bit of shimmery champagne from the same brand to create a playful smokey eye. I love how pigmented it is, and how nice the colors come out. You don’t have to apply a lot of it to get the colors to pop, so the little pot actually lasts for a long time!

4. The Bare Minerals starter set isn’t a new discovery. I used this my entire collage life, because its very light weight and breathable. While foundation usually cakes up or looks awful when we sweat, bare minerals continues to look natural. I’m giving some extra love to their bronzer, Warmth, because it makes you look like your glowing more and more the longer you have it on!

Hope you guys can give these products a try and let me know what you think!

The bells ring, it`s 10am. Meet me at the spot - where your first held my hand, where I first noticed your smile.

We`ll hide under the flowers - laugh and play, talk and be silly. I`ll hold your hand, you`ll watch me smile.

Carve out initials, wrap it in a heart, and swear it`s tru love.

You all know my sister, photos of Kryz are a regular feature on this blog. She loves being in photos and I love takeing them, It`s a good deal. When she told me she wanted to have a shoot whit her loving boyfriend I thought this would be a great time to I`d introduce you to the man who makes her heart go ba-bump.

Most of the time Mike and Kryz are like two little kids playing house, but then they share these quiet moments that couples who`ve been together ages would be envious of. When she smiles, he smiles. When he`s quiet, she`s quiet. And when she extends her had towards him, he knows to be ready for a thumb war. If that`s not love then what is? x

This is the first in a series of shoots we did so you can expect to see a lot more from these two in the days to follow.

P.s.

He hands her his sleeve and she turns to give me this: What would he do whitout me look. Too cute to not share.

And here`s another repost from here:

Posting these separately because they just felt so different compared to the rest of the set. To me, these have a more old telanovela feel to them so I decided to go whit different colour treatment and a heavier vignette for that dramatic pop. Dear reader, If this was a real telanovela what would it be called? Lemme know what you think, if I like what you came up whit I`ll change the title to this post. x

Jack

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.

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!

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!
