Iconic Duo

So here are the final layouts and some behind the scenes from my shoot with Manila Bulletin 2 weeks ago. The theme, Iconic Duo, was conceptualized by my everdearest friend Jear. He took inspiration from duets done by powerful people in the music industry. I might have nearly died from stress and exhaustion from all the pullouts, but seeing the final product on paper makes it all worth it. :) Here it is, finally!

Will blog about how my Valentine's day and my weekend went--so hope you stick around! Hugs everyone.

P.S. Anyone wants to buy my new babies? It's size 37, super gorgeous but is a little tight on me, so I ordered a bigger pair. :) It will fit a 6-6.5. Just P1000 plus shipping. Message, email or text me if you're interested! thanks:) 

 

Conceptual Shoot + Giveaway Winner!

The day before we left for Palawan, I spent the whole day in Calibre studio for another styling stint. This time it's a portfolio collaboration with Darrel Pobre. It's different from what I usually do because it is high fashion and not commercial. I also spent a lot of time and effort talking to designers and other brands for pullouts. So with this, I want to say a huge huge thanks to Roy Anne of FABRICHILD for the gorgeous headpieces & dresses, Ally of Golddot, Bem of Trunkshow, Aira of Sinta/Cintura for the shoes, Claire (my friend) for sending me some fabulous accs! And of course, Dimple Lim & Nico Agustin for the fabulous clothings. I promise you won't be disappointed with the outcome. So excited to see it as well!

Here's a sneak peek again!

Jacket was sent to me by Fievre!:) Can't wait to use it:) Clothes & headpiece by Fabrichild.

This is the top from Dimple Lim that I was thinking of buying.

I also styled a guy this time!:)

After the shoot, we lingered a little bit to attend Darz's brother's event and to watch their band perform. It's an event organized by UST/UP students aimed to support local indie bands. They transformed the studio into a mini bar. Cool.

i love that they sang songs Mich and I know!
