MANGO F/W'11 Launch

Went to MANGO's Fall/Winter '11 launch last Sept. 7 at The Plaza, Resorts World. The place was packed with bloggers, mostly familiar faces.:) Wasn't able to watch the whole runway show (styled by Manila's top stylists!) coz of my dress mishap plus horrible traffic. Made it to the 2 final sets though. It was amazing!:) I also love that everyone took the dress code (luxe grunge) seriously. Well, I did. Heeh. Here are photos from that night starting with what I wore! (Thank you Ava for the runway photos!)

faiiil haha, but thanks Melai for the effort. Hehe!

dress & coat - thrifted, tassel necklace - BUBBLES, beige leather bracelet - Mauve, 

white leather bracelet - Les Roux, watch - Aldo, booties - Chocolate Schubar

Came up with this outfit the night before the event--at 4am in the morning to be exact. WHUUUT. For some reason, even for styling gigs, that's when I have the best ideas styling and clothes wise. You could say it's my styling/fashion witching hour! Weird. Haha. Anyway, back to my outfit. Had this coat for quite some time (FIP styling class days!) and I finally found a good use for it! And the dress is really ankle length, used a belt to pull it up. Heh. I think my Bubbles tassel necklace sealed the whole look. Lakas maka glam factor!  As well as my leather bracelets and my new booties from Schu (yeye!). So did I nail the luxe grunge theme? :)

Here are the rest of the photos!

top stylists styled the show--Myrr Lao Tao, Patrick Galang, Teej Nepomuceno, Boanca Santiago & Anna Canlas
