Backlog: CubaoX + Parisian Shoot

Okay, now I'm done with my major shoots I finally have the time to finally update my blog! I also have tons of photos to edit so expect posts one after another.Yeeey. Here's the 1st one--a blogger's night out and a shoot I did with the BNS team for a dashing debutante. :)

fix fix

sorry i just had to share--too funny! Hehe:) Vil was trying to get out of the frame.

I had to come up with the rest of the sets/looks in like under 10 minutes. I wasn't able to use the sets I prepared because there had been a misunderstanding with the concept. Turns out that the debutant's mom had something different in mind. They asked for Parisian chic as the theme but wanted to do Victoria Beckham. Umm, kay. Good thing I have Darz who helped me through. :) They were also super brand/designer conscious so I wasn't able to use the things I brought. I covet their bags though--and the fendi black pumps (3rd photo below)! I die.

I swear the shoot looked like an ad campaign especially when the debutant's siblings joined her in the photo (styled them too--also impromptu). They were all wearing designer pieces I wanted to kidnap them. I kid, I kid. Heee. Can't wait to see the final photos!:) After the shoot we treated ourselves to some great food...

Skirtin & Trippin

This is just another one of my random posts. So bear with me! Lol. Anyway, I had a Cubao Expo date with Mich earlier. Before meeting up with her, I decided to make a quick detour to a nearby thrift shop. I didn't buy a lot (not too much nice items) but I did score some amazing pieces which I'll be selling on Archive very very soon! Here are just some of them...

polka overload

cute sequined cardigan

I also managed to score something for me! Haha. Typical.

inlove with this highwaist shorts! sorry guys I'm keeping it:)

So anyway, as I said we went to Cubao Expo.I went inside a lot of vintage shops that sell  things like records, books, photos, accessories, housewares. Mich said my eyes lit up as soon as we got inside the stores. Heeee. 

 

I was drawn to a vintage gold purse with gold chain and exquisite engraving on it's body. It's gorgeous. I held and admired it for about 5 minutes before I decided to just put it down & walk away. I wanted to take a photo but the store forbids picture taking. Boohoo. I was too shy to ask for the price--I'm sure it's worth a lot. Maybe I'll ask next time.

I visited the store Stoic and went through their racks of oh-so-pretty clothes. I was not planning to buy anything but they were on sale, so how could I resist? =D Bought this oversized shirt for P400! I can imagine wearing it with just about any shoes. :)

Also shopping in Stoic is Ms. Rina of SM whom I met at the SM Fashion Forum event. She might be reading this so--Hi Mam! :)

After Expo, we had dinner at Pancake House in Alimall. Yez-- Alimall is the place to be. It's just a minute away from our apartment. Aylavet. It has always been our go to mall eversince I'm a toddler! I love that they're revamping the whole place. It now has big brands such as Payless, Celine and a lot of other nice stores. I'm so proud. Aww.

 death by utensils

 potato salad. Ava, I got inspired!

my ever favorite Arroz ala Cubana

cheese waffle

fish something for Mich

Can I just say, I love Cubao (quezon city)?! Haha. Seriously, I basically grew up here. My grandmother's house is just a few streets away from our apartment. It's near main roads, a lot of establishments, etc. But, Marikina would always be my home though. :) 

Earlier in the day, I took outfit shots and experimented with my maxi skirt! Here's what I came up with...

Willow dress used as top, HK jacket, thrifted skirt, Forever 21 shoes

With just a few pins, tucks and tugs-- I came up with different lengths and styles. It looks foolish but I had a lot of fun doing it. Heee. That's it--catch up with you later loves!:)
