Canary Knit

It's now 6am and I'm still up and watching the Big Bang Theory. I should be sleeping now since I have a 12pm dentist appointment, but I CANNOT SLEEP. So I'd just squander my time with this random outfit post. I'm guessing it's because I'm still high from the epicness that was yesterday-- Nail It event (super fun) and Penshoppe x Zac Efron fancon (which I'll blog about soon!). Here are photos from my last Archive Clothing shoot. This was one of my favorites so I asked Mich to take extra shots. Heehee.

Archive Clothing knit top/dress, H&M hat, Bubbles necklace, Mango boots

How cute is this oversized yellow sweater dress? Now I'm re-assessing, yes, as in right now, my decision to put it up on sale. I love how it's easy to wear and how I could wear it in more ways than one. Maybe I should just keep it! Or not. Or yes? Okay, I'd sleep this off. By the way, thanks to all those who bought from my online store!:) I still have tons of photos in my laptop for posting. Will work on them one album at a time (yeah keep telling yourself that girl haha). I still have UNICEF, weekend outfits, Callalily album shoot, Star Awards (long overdue),So Fab shoot, Hotel Celeste and Exchange Regency, Francis Libiran presscon at Manila Hotel, 7 For All Mankind Rockwell launch and a prenup shoot I did. Will refer to this post for my backlogs. Yes, I'm blabbing  and procrastinating and talking to myself. Signing out! Have an awesome Sunday!:) xo

Anna Dello Russo for H&M Fall 2012 Collection

Ever since it was first announced, the collaboration between stylist Anna Dello Russo and Swedish retailer H&M managed to stir a lot excitement and curiosity. Now, we finally get the chance to see and judge the new goodies! With her eccentric approach, the diva has create a fun video to promote her newest creations. In it, she boldly proclaims everyone needs a fashion shower and gives her ten essential style rules. Yes mam noted!!! So f*%$#in' cool. Watch. Go.

 

In the video, Madame Anna advises us to use accessories liberally to amp up the fab vibe of our outfits: “My message is: use accessories like a personal touch, as an amusing way to revitalize your life and wardrobe: you will turn an ordinary day into a sensational fashion week day. Accessories are like vitamins to fashion: you should use them liberally as such.”

The Anna Dello Russo for H&M collection is set to hit stores this October 4th at H&M locations worldwide and online. Extravagance and opulence are the main intent of the new pieces, which are mostly in gold for a fun statement. After all, she did state that nothing is sexier than excess. 

 

Sunglasses, clutches and jewelries all got a glamorous makeover to make a statement that can't simply be overlooked. Yes, including luggages!  

If you're feeling especially daring, you might appreciate the sexy over the knee leather boots which are sure to help your inner vixen come to surface. Overall, there are plenty of eye-catching options worth analyzing. If any of the pieces have caught your eye, you should know that the price range for pieces in the new collection is between $25 for a pair of earrings and $299 for thigh-high leather boots. Not bad right?:))

Can't wait for the collection to come out! Maybe I should book a ticket to Hongkong or something? ORRR, could someone bring H&M to Manila ASAP??! Are you excited for this newest collaboration?:)

I'm Part of the MEISTER Movement!

I'm sure you've seen my endless Meister watch posts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Forgive my positive outburst, I just can't contain my excitement over the fact that I'm now part of the Meister movement!:) It's not everyday you become part of something exciting with your favorite celebrities and 2 other blogger loves. I said yes to Meister as quickly as that quick brown fox who jumped over the lazy dog (hehe), coz I'm sure you all know how much I love watches. It's my only staple accessory, I can't leave the house without it and I feel naked/incomplete in it's absence.  I'm also a sporty/unisex watch kind of girl, so it's just perfect. More on Meister later, but for now here are outfit photos of me wearing it!

Bitch Fit

This is my laid back Sunday outfit. Wore this when I visited my Grandparents... and when I threw a major tantrum before leaving the house.  3 days later my back and arms still hurts from throwing 1 million things. It started over a disagreement between Mich and I, which, when I think of it now, was not really a big deal. Haha. Nag dramarama sa hapon lang ako. Haha. I'm the most patient person ever. I seldom get mad or pissed, but when I do, it's like all hell broke loose. Casualties that day: Melody the teddy bear which I dismembered (accidentally then intentionally), and our table lamp which I accidentally--not intentionally-- knocked off & severed. And then there were maybe 5 broken CDs. Heh. If I end up in trial or jail in the future, please don't use this post against me. Haha! I think in some way I needed that. It's like all my frustrations and anger and disappointments exited my body together with my tears. Sometimes, you need to unleash all the monster energy hiding inside too, you know? But do it without hurting anyone! A teddy not 4 feet tall would be fine though. Lol. Mich, up to this day, still screams "Murderereeeer!" whenever she remember or sees teddy bears. Haha.

Vintage belt, Kandi Treats bracelet, Fab Manila bag, Payless sneakers

Therapy Bags 3-way wrap bracelet used as headband

First off, sorry for the weird facial expressions. I was in a rush coz it's actually drizzling when I took the photos! Twenty seconds later, it rained like crazy! Anyway, back to my outfit. Been abusing my Payless neon green sneakers for weeks now. It was one of those meant-to-be impulse buys. It was a steal for P600! I think this is sold out already though.  Bought it when I tried to do pullouts in my neon green wedges and I miserably failed. Guys, wear something you can run in when doing pullouts, especially if you have time constraints. 'Kay?  I won't even try to explain how I put together this outfit (other bloggers are better at it), my goal is to share with you guys the pieces I'm wearing. This lovely highwaist floral shorts from Bratinela fits like a glove. Weird, but you get my point.

And guys, when buying accessories, it's best if you have that 1 versatile piece you can wear in several ways. Take for example, this orange chain headband I'm wearing! Which is actually a wraparound bracelet, which could also double as a necklace--or belt! Db? Bongga.

 Speaking of shoes, do checkout Shoe Etiquette's new collection! Can you guess which pair I got?

Shop for them HERE. :)

Lee Cooper Launch + Belvedere: CMG x Traffic Event!

Sorry if this took long, I have a gazillion backlogs. But since I'm now on a self declared sick leave (today and tomorrow), I'll use my idle time working on them. So here's what happened a few weeks ago at the Lee Cooper Launch at Mariott Hotel and the CMG x Traffic event at Opus!:)

LEE COOPER

cute setup outside!

The show was about to start when I got inside, so I decided to just stay at the back and chat with Sir Tinnie Esguerra. I had so much fun! Too many cute boys and girls. Haha. :) The theme of the show was British Invasion inspired by the Union Jack since, as some of you may know, LEE COOPER is a 100-year-old iconic clothing brand from the UK. The clothes are very rock n' roll-ish. I like.:)

My favorite photos/styling/clothes from the show!

Boys

Very very brit! And love that their collection is street wear inspired. :) They offer the softest denim and they carry a complete line of closet staples for men and women.
