Styling Stint: Lanvin FW 2010

Two weeks ago I was asked to style a portfolio shoot. I got the text when I was in Bacolod for my uncle's burial. So I really didn't have time to prepare. I still agreed to do the job because I wanted to gain experience and I wanted to try working with people I don't know. It turned out to be a great idea. I had a lot of fun during the shoot. I was greatly challenged coz I only had 1 day to prepare. And I'm now friends with the people I worked with. :)

Without further ado, here's the final layouts:

KIM

ANN

CRISTAL

Of course, I had to take some BTS (behind the scene) shots!

My space.

Fixing Kim.

On/Off cam--chitchats (in tagalog: chika chika)

Yey for double sided tapes!

Ann in action.

The one in red is Mike--he already photographed for Vogue China and Taiwan.

I look like shiz beside Cristal. Haha.

Me eating pizza. Haha.

Still haven't seen the final shot for this--calling Mike!:P

bloopers galore.

One of my favorite shot.

Cristal.

And some pro shots from my Lumix cam! Thanks Mike for lending me your apparatus. Lol.

I was really glad when they told me that they liked what I did. I was seriously worried at first coz I didn't have enough time to prepare. A week after, Cristal--one of the models--invited me to style at another shoot with a real client! Story to follow. :)

I'm still waiting for our Sky cable connection to get fixed, for the meantime I just have to put up with my ultra slow smart bro plug-in connection. So I still can't post the photos from my uncle's wake/burial (I know I too am not a fan of sad endings but I just have to immortalize the event here just for future reference). If our connection picks up later I'll finish posting the rest of the photos and stories. But today, I'm just so proud of myself for not giving in to the call of indolence! Did a lot of things today.

My pending shipments for Archive are now done. Then, I texted Mich if I could order shoes online from Forever 21. She said No, but by the time I got her text I already received my order confirmation. Oops! These babies are just too pretty...

 

So Miu Miu-esque noh?

 

I wish I wish I wish this fits perfectly--unlike the other hats.

Since I still have a slight phobia of customs (my shoes from Chic Reward is still there, still unclaimed, haha), I decided to use Pobox instead. Go on, click on the link to learn more about it. All I know is that I can now buy items from the US without asking relatives and friends to include my item in their balikbayan box. I'll let you know if I encounter any problems with them as the order goes along.

So I left the house to go to the post office. My bowler hats finally arrived! But I got disappointed when I discovered that it got deformed. The shipper used a soft packaging box so it got dented. :( It's still wearable though. You must be taller than me to actually see the dent when I'm wearing them. Hehe! I'm still happy I finally have my own bowler hat. Does anyone know how to make them go back to their original state? Help?

Also paid my bills and settled some final changes for our upcoming Palawan trip! So excited. It's gonna be next weekend. My bday!:)

So while I'm settling my bills, I also met up with a friend from FIP who owns a shoe factory. And she gave me this! New brogues. And I love them!:)

So lovely and fits perfectly. :) Thanks Honey!

I'm also currently preparing for a shoot tomorrow. This is the peg:

..never realized how much black, grays and whites I have in my closet until now! Haha. Anyway, will blog about a part of our Bacolod trip later (still not the sad part). When we visited the historic "The Ruins". So breathtaking. So...laters! =)
