Architecturally Sleeping

INTERIOR CONNECTION

I love this dress! I had this made by my good designer friend, Mique Yapching, for Preveiw's 15th Anniversary party which was held here in Cebu months back. I love the architecture touch that's happening with it. Nothing too drastic but at the same time has a very classic impact through the details of the dress. It sorta reminded me of a favorite interior decorating wall paneling trick which is Wainscoting.

Wainscoting actually is an interior wall paneling technique done just below the dado rail/chair rail which usually presents an illusion of a sort of  "fenced" interior wall. It adds such an architectural touch to a simple surface elevating it more into something polished yet dramatic. Much like the dress with the ribbed draping that Mique designed for me. Coincidentally my shoes sort of  has the same pattern as the wainscot in the interior picture! :)

EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN

On to some gut wrenching news..
I had a hard time sleeping last night. For the first time ever I had nothing to do. I hate doing nothing, I honestly miss the stress and all the pump I get when I was working on my thesis. Right now, I'm just awaiting for the results. At least I've got something else to worry about. And just to add on to the wait I found out that the announcement of thesis results just got moved to Wednesday, so it's an additional day of agony for me!

Please Lord, let me sleep tonight!

Hope you guys get better sleep than I'll ever have!

Another shoot I did with Hannah and another great picture taken by her! If you guys notice I got the ring from that bazaar that's happening in Ayala now. There were only 2 pieces.. a bronze and silver one. I had to buy both! Thought it would be a good investment. After all, an accessory can go a long way! Anyway, more photos on this set coming soon! :)

Preview Magazine's 15th Anniversary Party : CEBU!

When I saw the invite for Preview's Anniversary Party here in Cebu I automatically clicked "Attending" on the invite! Special thanks to Cybill Gayatin for the invite! I've always been a big fan of Preview so even if I had no idea at that time on what to wear I just had to go! When I arrived the area was decked with crystals and white-sparkly accessories on the ceilings!

Let's start off with my dress that was designed by the great Mique Yapching! I was totally loving my outfit last night. First of all, anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of black. You rarely catch me wearing a black dress! Mique totally captured what I wanted , it was all in one dress! I just told him I needed something girly yet structure dand  a bit "pure" looking and he got it in  a snap! Thank you so much Mique for designing my outfit last night!

 some of the photos were grabbed from Valerie Go, Paolo Berdin, Izabelli Selma and Mikey Sanchez

Everyone looked amazing in their crystal inspired outfits! I totally love dressing up and getting the chance to do it with one of my favorite magazines made me want it even more!

Mikey Sanchez looking polished and classic as always...

and Roni Yu in a very fashionable piece!

and Mia Arcenas in her very cute Kate Torralba mini!

Met a lot of new people who were totally super nice!

It was nice meeting you guys!

On the other hand it was a sigh of relief to see some familiar faces from the crowd! Everyone looked gorgeous by the way! The event was just really about celebrating Preview, and I think we did a good job on doing that!! :)

A good and very well dressed friend, Paolo Berdin, won the award of "Best Dressed Male" of the night! Check out that red box on his hand, it's his prize, a canon digital camera! I'm sure everyone was jealous --- I was! haha

 Georgina Wilson, everyone!

I guess it was a super bad idea to take a picture with Georgina! She was crazy pretty! Any angle was a beauty shot ! She looks effortless! I felt like I was with a Goddess and we were just mere mortals! haha She was totally nice though and very accommodating on taking pictures with us! :)

If I had to I would crop my face.. but that would just look weird. haha Met the very talented stylist from Preview's team, Liz Uy and my was she pretty! I felt like crap beside her! Her outfit was perfect!

Was totally starstruck when we were able to meet Preview's Fashion Editor , Daryl Chang! Yes, more starstruck compared to when I met Georgina Wilson and Liz Uy. Also, I was especially  delighted and totally giddy when she complimented Kryz and I for dressing up!  Buying those new pair of heels at the last minute definitely paid off! HAHA

A whole week of texting each other on outfit crisis , makeup and shoe dilemma and finally we got to enjoy the night with great outfits and great company! The whole time I was with my bestfriend and her sisters! I felt like an adopted sibbling! haha Wasn't too hard really when everyone asked me and Kryz if we were sisters!

cheers to a fun night!
