Styling: Yours Truly!

Assisted by: Giselle Uang

Remember that shoot I had with Hannah Bacalla last week? Well, here are some of her shots. The reason why I had my own shots for my looks was because Hannah was using film this time! It's pretty interesting on how film totally translates differently in the final shots. A very sweet surprise! When you do film I guess you can't manipulate the photos as much as you'd want to.. Yes?

 Anyway the shots above are from Hannah. 

Seeing her take these pictures makes me wanna buy a film camera too! 

Crystal Ball (Zee's 15th Anniv.)

Rei Escario Dress | f21 pumps

hMUA: Ryle Young

Was invited to Zee's 15th Anniversary after party and when I got the note that the dress code was formal I instantly panicked. In such short notice I didn't have anytime to get a dress made by anyone. Fortunately Rei Escario, younger brother of Jun Escario, came to my rescue and lent me this gorgeous dress. Could you believe that this was one of his first designs when he started out in the business? Totally matched the "crystal" theme I automatically assumed based on the invite. I loved the classic design with a hint of detail and low back. Fitted me like a glove actually, meant to be! <3 Thanks to one of my bestfriends, Jaye, for lending me her lovely glittery shoes. Us size 5 girls have to stick together!

 Here's Rei and I before the show started! Looking polished and sleek.

Gorgeous friends getting made up for the night. 

Power shoulders from Roni.

A very pretty dress worn by Kristina. :)

 Here's Mikey looking sartorial and cool with his glass of champagne!

The runway was decked with draped fabrics and glass vases in different shapes and heights. Reflected perfectly the kind of runway that was about to come. Simple, Chic and Elegant. I'd have to say this went perfectly well since the focus went directly on the designer pieces.

 SM accessories started the show in collaboration with other designers. Kryz closing the show with her very sexy glittery dress!

Here were some of the photos that I was able to save that night during the fashion show. Bare with me guys I've been trying to learn the tips and tricks with my camera.  I've barely mastered taking pictures outdoors  the indoor ones look like crap thus the black and white result. Teehee Although the show started late believe me when I say my photos didn't do justice to the great details during the runway that night. Each designer was different but equally talented! Truly worth the wait. :)

Congratulations to Zee on their 15th Anniversary!

Please don't kill me! Another skirt and top ensemble for a shoot I did a month ago. You can't really blame me for this one since I just received the photos yesterday. teehee  Decided to wear these prints all at once. Even though these outrageous patterns don't match but in my eyes they do. Say hello to Miss Mismatched--that's me! 

Photo from Kryz

Same outfit got featured in Freeman last month! Thanks to Kristine Roa for the feature and Eden Villarba for  organizing everything. Enjoyed our short bonding session. Also to Roland Icban for our amazing photos!

Sunday Best

Hype my look over at Lookbook and Chictopia

Wore this Detail bydetails dress today! I loved the pattern and the cut that I just had to have one for my closet! I wanted the dress to be the main focus so no belts today. Of course there are two more of these in the store so grab them now while you still can! :) You can pair them with vintage jackets or even knitted cardigans for a more dressier peg! 

So I spent today with my sisters and treated them out to a movie and some girl time! Our parents were to lazy to go out so I guess it was just three of us for the day. Let me just say that whenever we're together even if we annoy the heck out of each other we always end up having a good time! :)

Even if it was a Sunday I still had a busy day.. Even had to insert two more meetings on my supposedly rest day but I guess that's alright since this whole freelance styling thing doesn't seem like work sometimes. :)

Of course before I had to leave I had to drop by WAGW Ayala to support the bestfriend together with Camille and Laureen.  Not only that but Germaine (sister to the right) wanted to meet them in person too! You guys should've seen it, WAGW was packed! Also I was surprised that they told me I got Sylvanas the other day from similar Dumaguete readers! I am soo happy. Thank you guys. I was super touched. Even if I wasn't included with the blogger meetup you still included me---Yeyyy! 

Thankful! :)
