This Is Our City, I Am Team Manila.

Working on my Day 2 Singapore post, but I'm not yet done sorting and editing photos. So for now, outfit photos from that day!:) When you're in another country, do you also have this urge to reprezent (yes, z talaga para mas feel) your hometown? I do. And I sometimes do it through the clothes I wear! There are a lot of Pinoys working in Singapore and I love how they light up and smile and chat with me of course, whenever they find out I'm also Pinoy. It's surprising coz I'm often mistaken as Viet or Thai. Weird. Photos!

 Team Manila shirt, Greenhills shorts, Mango cap

Romwe bag, Stylized Manila brown leather bracelet, Envy yellow wrap bracelet, Meister watch

SM Depstore sneakers

I wanted to wear a dress but I realized it might not be the best idea when you are to ride a roller coaster. So I went for the ever reliable shirt-shorts-sneakers combo:) Easy breezy covergirl lang. Haha. And the cap! It's best to bring a cap when you're going somewhere hot. So you can hide your sweaty bumbunan and still look fresh. Haha. And share ko lang that I bought my pink sneakers for just P250. Oha! Haha.

The shirt from Team Manila is from their men's collection. Got it in Large so I could also wear it as a mini dress. I want my shirts loose. I have a few more Team Manila pieces to post so abangan. You guys should check out their stores, lots of cool stuff talaga. Plus, they just launched their Andres Bonifacio designs!:)

That's it for now! Gotta sleep. Early pa tomorrow for ASAP. Hope you're all having an amazing weekend:) 

Muted Sports

A quick post since I have to be up by 7am for a prenup shoot in Pampanga. Haven't packed yet gaaaah! Had a pretty long day today mostly spent inside the car. Traffic is a killer. Pfft. First appointment was with Kacci Santos of Janylin (who's a total sweetheart) for our exciting new collaboration, yey! Visited Janylin Glorietta 1 to check out their new collection and to chat with her. Will post about that soonest!:) Had a quick lunch date with Mich after at Heaven & Eggs, and then ran to the BDO-SM MOA Office-- which ended in disappointment and frustration. No other solution but to suck it up. Got over it pretty quickly din naman, as always. Last stop was at Il Terrazzo, Timog for the PAC makeup workshop which ended a few minutes after I arrived. Got stuck in traffic for 2 hours. Barely made it alive.... kidding! But seriously, I was sooo sleepy and bored and I badly needed to pee halfway through my destination. Mind over matter nalang haha. Something great came out of this day though! Got to bond with blog friends who I missed dearly! :) Okay enough na with my ramblings! Here are outfit photos from last month taken in UP after ASAP!:)

Thrifted top and shorts, Ruckus necklace, Envy bracelets, Meister watch, from BU sandals

This is my best casual sportswear glam impression. Inimbento ko lng yun pero ok na yan. Haha. Pretty neat considering my clothes are thrifted.

my sister OOTD din daw sha haha! She's wearing The Little Things She Needs shoes!

That's it for now. Gotta pack. Baboosh!:)

Monochrome

Hello hello! How are you loveys? I'm down with the early stages of coughs & colds and I hate iiiit. Doing everything I can to suppress it. I cannot get sick. Gaaah. Suggestions please?:) Anyway, blogging sa wakas! Feeling uninspired to blog lately. Guess I'm always tired or sleepy kasi. But will try my best to do SOTD (stories of the day, haha pauso) posts again. I miss that. I have so many backlogs just thinking about them makes me feel more stressed than I already am. Shouldn't be that way I know. Anyway, posting this before I leave the house! I have 3 meetings today plus SM Ladies PFW show later. Again, I hope kayanin ng concealer ko. Haha. Photos from weeks ago when I did the Style Origin challenge at Greenbelt! Story below.

Romwe dress, Wild Soul sunglasses, Jhajing & Envy bracelets, Meister watch, SM Parisian neon brogues

About time I wear this dress! Finally found time to have it altered. Now it fits perfectly! Tennis player lang noh? Haha. And don't you just love my Wild Soul sunnies? Photos from our Style Origin rounds!

We were asked to go to Style Origin  participating Greenbelt stores and instagram/tweet a sneak peek of what will come out on the runway. Had fun doing it!:) My partner was Sarah and then Juliana & Charlene. We were asked to instagram/tweet 6 looks each. If you're my friend on Instagram or Twitter then you've probably seen the looks we posted:)

Skyscraper

Spent my Sunday working and styling the whole day. Had a prenup shoot from 8am til 7pm plus ASAP which my assistant Carvey handled for me. So happy to have worked with Sir Aaron Ebio again plus the couple-- Estela & Lester-- were both nice and easy to work with. Hopped from one location to another just to achieve the pegs and photos they want. I want to give a shout out to my friend Patrick who gave us permission to shoot in his resto (Borough) for free. No questions asked. Thanks Pat owe you one!:) Will post photos soon but for now here's me and my outfit that day! Photos were taken at Gercon (Makati) tower's rooftop which the groom's family owns. Ang bongga lang! Obviously someone had too much fun posing and snapping (Mich). Lols.

Wrangler denim shirt, Sabrina paisley shorts, Forever 21 shades

Anagon Love necklace

Meister watch, I Am Girlie love bracelet and black bracelet, Envy yellow wrap bracelet

So Fab shoes

Wanted to wear something comfy and easy to move in, so I wore my new Sabrina shorts and trusty Wrangler denim shirt! Didn't want to wear flats coz heels make me feel more confident when working (a trade secret!), so I wore my orange wedges from So Fab. Gave me a little height plus it's extremely comfy. Also loving my new arm candies! Lakas makayaman. Heee.

Took us 30 minutes to finish shooting, because I got carried away doing weird poses. Mich almost peed in her pants from laughing too much! Okay I peed a little from laughing and moving too much. Wahehe!

nyahaha! andami ko pang kakatawanan shots pero d ko na ipopost ayoko majudge! haha!

Hope you enjoyed my snapshots of insanity. Lol. Here's a sneak peek into that day...

 Double rainbows. What a beautiful way to end our shoot:)

at Fully Booked, BGC. Love this location! 

Photos soon! Anyway, I have more giveaways to post so watch out for them! More blog posts today but heading out later for my Shulong display installation at ResToeRun Gateway Mall! So excited. If you happen to be in the vicinity, do drop by. Would love to chat. Hihi. Love you all!:)

Cropped Margins + SM Ladies S/S 2013

I was one of the lucky few who was able to peek into SM Ladies' Spring/Summer 2013 PFW Collection. The press preview was held in a nice resto at SM Mall of Asia. Here are photos from that beautiful day! Starting this post with what I wore... Thanks Lush Angel for patiently taking my photos! Hihi.

Jhajing dress, Meister watch, Envy bracelet, Rockport heels

I've been living in this Rockport Presia heels for days now. Not sure if you already know (announced it on Instagram already) but it's soles are made of Adiprene by Adidas, so it feels like you're just wearing one of their running shoes. I can wear this for hours and it doesn't hurt one bit. And that's coming from me who has heavy feet which makes walking in heels an agony. So a big YAHOOOO for this amazing technology! Anyway, the dress is a new favorite from Jhajing. Wish they're detachable though so I could style them separately. 

Anyway, photos from the event!

SM Ladies’ Fashion, once again, gears up for Philippine Fashion Week 2013. The grand show on May 22, 8 pm at the SMX Convention Center, is set to feature a smorgasbord of geometric patterns, jewel tones, summer brights, and New Florals—an array of multi-faceted prints in abstract, oriental, and canvas-like variations. Fans can expect a full range of retail offerings catering to different style tribes, as well as surprise celebrity appearances.

cute table setting + enticing cupcakes!

Press people 

“This year’s show celebrates womanhood and the different facets of the stylish woman,” says Charlene Yu-Banzal, Vice President for SM Ladies’ Fashion. “Our vision is to give our customers a wider berth of choices so they can better explore their style persona.

host Issa Litton, who looks like blogger Keigh Jalbuena noh?:)

SM Ladies’ Fashion continues to elevate affordable ready-to-wear apparel with brand offerings that meld international fashion trends and consumer demand. The show is segmented into various style tribes—Corporate, Ladies Who Lunch, Weekender, Party, and Resort. The SM woman is poised to find her style personality, represented by this grand collection.

Corporate

Rule the boardroom in corporate wear from Folio and SM Classics. Tailored shapes, elegant fabrics and powerful silhouettes in bold hues will take you straight to the top. Aim for success by pairing a fluorescent pantsuit with an elegant floral top.

Ladies Who Lunch

Burst into spring with exotic oriental blooms from Philosophy and NY Square, designed to make tea time a very stylish affair. Let watercolor florals liven up jackets and shift dresses for a look that spells soft femininity. Boldly pair floral separates in one ensemble, or play the classic femme in a shift dress topped with a soft spring-print blazer.

Weekender

Jet set in bold nautical stripes and breezy tailored bottoms from Weekender. Partner your travel stripes with vivid blues and quirky prints for a stylish look that will take you places.

Resort

Go from sea to sidewalk in Coco Cabaña, the only local swimwear line that covers the day-to-night resort lifestyle. Surf and swim in on-trend bikinis, and lounge in sheer floral cover-ups. Dress up your maillot, and party by the sea in a sheer overlay that sways with your every move. 

Party

Shine bright in rich, jewel-tones from Studio S, guaranteed to make you the life of the party. Be a gem in a curve-enhancing dress that can take you from work to play, in an instant. 

The Spring/Summer 2013 collection promises a vibrant display of SM staples and on-trend items, all curated by leading industry experts. 

To summarize, I'd say it's a pretty cool and amazing collection. I wouldn't mind updating my wardrobe with a few of SM Ladies' upcoming PFW pieces. Saw lots of clothes which screamed me! I especially love the vintage prints and nautical ones. Hehe.Which ones are your fave?:)

with my blogger loves Sarah, Ana, Ava, Arnie, Earth and Angela:) We all loved what we saw!
