Nautical Dungaree

Hello dooooor! I'm back to blogging...way past midnight. Haha. It's actually 4am now. I need to doze off in a bit coz I feel like I have tons to do later. I really don't have anything planned except for returns (pullouts), but I have a feeling I will be rushing a few things too.  Plus, it's Friday and you know what that means! It'll be traffic as hell. My life now revolves around pullouts, rush pullouts, shoots, errands, tambay with friends, events and sleeping. I need a vacatiooooon. Going away this weekend with Nico boy for some R&R! Rest and relaxation ha hinde Rated-R! Hahahaha. Friday also means ASAP requirements, so need to complete that before our weekend adventure. Looking forward to Sunday! Anyway, here are some outfit photos we took from Friday last week in  between pullouts. Hehe. 

 Giordano shirt, Greenlane Shop denim jumper, Suiteblanco bag, Mango necklace, Tutum flats

I wanted to wear something casual, relaxed, slouchy but still dressy. So, tada! This top from Giordano is one of my favorite pieces in my closet! Also found the perfect jumper shorts from Greenlane shop. Love the wash and the fit! I'm choosy when it comes to jumpers (or rompers) 'coz I have a long torso and it usually doesn't fit sa crotch area! As in. Kain kung kain. Hahaha. This one's loose but not too baggy. I love iiiit. My white gladiator shoes from Tutum solves my "lacking in statement" outfit dilemmas. Always. I'm planning to buy another pair bilang nilaspag ko na. Lol. 

Wasn't able to take a photo of me pulling out from BCBG and Herve Leger, but here's a photo of Karylle wearing BCBG on Showtime and Ms. ZsaZsa Padilla wearing a P90k+ Herve dress on ASAP. So beautiful.

Thank you Monique!

The SM Store's Doll Glam Event

This was one event I did not want to miss because one, I am a makeup noob who's ironically obsessed with beauty products. Two, ganaps like this make me discover brands and products I would not otherwise use. Three, I am secretly (or not) kikay. Four, Tricia Gosingtian & Alodia Gosiengfao together on one stage for a doll glam makeup showdown! So rain and all, I got out and braved EDSA just to be there. The doll glam challenge was nearing it's end when I got there, but I was just in time to catch the highlight of the event. Here are photos...

 Beautiful host Nicole Andersson interviewing guests. Galing maghost!:)

Time's up! Here's Tricia and her model!:) So pretty!

 They both went for natural doll glam with an emphasis on the eyes. 

 love both their looks...and outfits!:)

 Selfie time!

So nice seeing Tricia & Alodia, real life dolls & pioneers in their respective fields, together on stage! 

Slipped out to check out the booths! The place was packed so I wasn't able to try out their free makeovers, but I saw a lot of people enjoying! :)

Food Trip & Bastille Day: VIKINGS & DELSEY

So I finally decided to stop hibernating and actually come out of the shell I've been hiding in. I had a free day last week, so I texted my GF Ana if we could do events hopping. Are you proud of me Kelly Medina? Hahaha. Anyway, our first stop was Vikings in Mega Fashion Hall. Along with a few bloggers, we had first dibs on their latest offering. No need to fly to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia na, Vikings is bringing your favorite Southeast Asian Streetfood to you every weekend this whole month of August. I am not a professional food reviewer, all I could tell you is what the food are made of and if I liked it or not. I promise to give an honest review, though! Lagi naman eh hehe. Photos!

Kerabu Sotong Kering -- composed of green mango, cucumber, red pepper, cuttlefish. Like the balance of sweetness and sourness. 

 Beef & Chicken Satay - i just love the peanut sauce with it! One of my favorite Asian food. 

 Roti & Beef Curry - this I finished! Super tasty. Reminds me of curry buns I often feast on in Singapore. The ripe mango is refreshing to the palette too. 

 Chicken Rice, Beef Rendang, Vegetable Biryani - I'm not a fan of Hainanese chicken but this I like! It's not "malansa" and it tastes perfect. The Beef Rendang & Biryani I liked too!

   The famous Bak Kut Teh soup! Pork ribs in spices & herbal soup. My first time to try it! Not my favorite soup, it has this tinge to it 'coz of the herbs, but a nice bowl would be nice this rainy day!:)

Singaporean Fish Curry - I also liked this one! It's like tilapia (or kasi tilapia talaga siya) that's cooked in a sweet & sour sauce:) Think pinakbet but a little sweeter. Hehe. 

Chili Oyster Crab -  tastes just like the chili crab I ate in Singapore! Crab in garlic-y sweet & chili sauce. Yum. 

Hokkien Mee - similar to Pad Thai but Pad Thai is more sour and tasty. 

Chef showing us what spices they used on some of the dishes.

Forgot the others but I see garlic and pepper!

our table hihi

Pineapple Tart - similar to cream puff but filled instead of cream, it has pineapple filling. Topped with powdered sugar and served with fruits. Yum.

 Cendol (Malaysia's version of Halo-Halo!) Love this....

The amazing chefs of Vikings!

 Happy tummies! Hehe.

Later that night, Ana and I went to DELSEY Philippines' first Fete Dela France celebration in Greenbelt 3!:) In partnership with the French Embassy & HOLA Magazine, the French brand honored Bastille day with a special program full of music, wine, an exclusive sale event & introduction of their new brand innovations. 

Brand history: DELSEY was founded in 1946 by Emile Delahaye & Andre & Walter Synheaves. They first manufactured leather cases for cameras. They become really popular in 1970, when they first offered their first line of rigid luggage called Delsey Airstyle.  The rest they say is history! For years, they've been offering more innovative, functional, lightweight products that makes travelling easier and convenient. Delsey perfectly fuses form & function with French flair. :) 

 The talented Panggo band who played jazz music!:) Clazzzz.

 Welcoming remarks by Primer Group of Companies' AVP, Darwin Banez

 Guest of honor, French Ambassador, Gilles Garachon

 A toast for France-Philippines partnership & Delsey too...

 Cheers!

 

 Token of appreciation for the French Ambassador! Love the luggage bag!

I also won a Delsey backpack! Thank you!:)

Excited for DELSEY's new collection this year! They will be selling luggages that have built-in weight indicators. I need this in my life. 

The hard case luggage bag above is called Honore. It's sleek, functional, stylish, luxurious, innovative. The luggage of your dreams...or my dreams. Haha. I shall save for this. :)

Thank you Delsey for my own backpack and travel pack! Excited to use these on my next adventure!:)
