Leopard & Retro

Remember how I told you I'd make a styling comeback? Well, I think it's starting. Haha. I lay low the last couple of months before 2011 ended because I got caught up with Bloggers United. I felt so drained during and after everything that I turned down all styling gigs and opportunities that came my way. But now I'm back in the ball game! I have 3 shoots this week (2 newspaper and 1 for a girly clothing brand) and I already have bookings next week. Nakakaloka pero thank you Lord! Besides, I super miss my bessy/co-stylist Jear.:) Now I'm back to not having enough sleep, non-stop calling and texting and of course, ang nakakalokang pullouts. I'm excited!:) Here's what I wore to one of my pullout days...

Thrifted top and skirt, Jhajing leopard belt, So Fab leopard print bow flats

Told ya I'm attracted to 60s, MOD inspired pieces. The purple top is actually just an undershirt. Surprisingly, it matches the yellow skirt! Colorblocking na naman the peg. I just modernized the look by mixing in printed pieces like the leopard belt & shoes + the stripes earrings. :)

  Bedazzle black bracelet, H&M bag, Envy lime bracelet, Cotton On belt leather bracelet

I am Girlie necklace, Viva La Manika earrings & ring

 I am obsessed with leather bracelets! Very lakas makayaman. I like them better than stack bangles.

Love this unique bangle from Bedazzle! And how lovely is this vintage ring from Viva La Manika?:)

 Love this stripes vintagey earrings! So me!

My new leopard print flats from So Fab! Classic with a twist!:) This style reminds me of my childhood (I have shoes like this before), but I love how it looks modern because of the print. My kind of shoes;)

Happy Birthday MANELS!

I've always known MANELS since I was a kid. Every school opening, I would wish and pray for new school shoes and I would always shriek with delight whenever my parents gave me permission to buy from the best which is Manels. :) But that's before I found out that their shoes are sturdy as hell, so my parents didn't allow me to buy new ones til they're all worn out and beaten. Haha. The point is, they've been around forever for as long as I can remember and I'm so delighted and honored to have stood witness to the brand's revitalization. I'm so excited and happy for the new Manels--chicer & "fashion forward"!:)

So the other day, they held a private sale exclusive for bloggers and I was there. It was soooo much fun. One of the lightest event I've been to. :)  But first off, do you know that MANELS is celebrating their 47th year anniversary (wow!)??? As a big thank you to everyone who stood by them and believed in their brand, they're selling ALL of their items for 1/2 the price! :) 

So going back, private SALE + shoes & bags + bloggers = total chaos! Haha. It felt like we were in amazing race. Lol. Here are photos from the event!
