Photo Dump: Quickly and Kimono Ken

Mon, 28 May 2012 12:31:59 -0400

As I’ve said in my previous post, I went to Unica Ija’s show entirely because my mom knew the owner. This is a photo of my mom,my sisters and Edd, they’re the people I went with in the show. :)

Edd’s one of my friends in the dance ministry and I asked him to come with me because he’s also a fashion enthusiast. I actually like his laid back- vintage style. (OH-EM-GEE look at his shoes)

He’s also got a model’s body (ish, HAHA)

My mom and I love his shoes. We both want one for ourselves! :(

Off to the night photos.

We went out walking along the “streets” of MOA while waiting for our dinner. Guess what we bought… a drink from QUICKLY! My favorite!

~~Nag-model model-an lang kami, actually. Pakapalan ng mukha. :))~~

And finally, DINNER! We both love Japanese food so we chose KIMONO KEN. :>

YUM. Can’t wait for my next plate of Tuna sashimi and Sukiyaki don. :>

GREAT DAY. :)

PhFW: Unica Ija

Mon, 28 May 2012 12:19:00 -0400

I was able to go to Unica Ija’s show because of my mom. Atty. Lagon, the owner of the brand, is one of her clients in Citibank, thus we got V.I.P. seats! WOOT! Thanks, ma! The view from the second row was waaaay better than the ones that I usually get in the back. *Super kilig!* ~~(sorry, it’s my first time. HAHA)~~

Anyway, alot of things happened that day and I really couldn’t decide which photos to use for this post. So what I’ll do is I’ll make this post purely about the collection and the other stuff will be posted as photo dump. I just really want to share alot of photos about that day because it was uber fun. On the other hand, I don’t wan’t to hassle you with such a long post that’s why I’ll split it into two. :)

UNICA IJA is one of the longest running local brands for young women here in the Philippines. It has been loyal to cater clothes of feminine, girl-next-door and classy preference. This season, their collection entirely focused on that style but umphed it up a notch by adding more prints, laces and color to their clothes; giving us a vast range of choices to our wardrobes.

I am totally going to buy this lace dress. :”>

This season they had Charo Ronquillo and Sarah Geronimo as their ambassadors. They also had Danica Magpantay walk for them :)

Honestly, this store does not cater to my moody style, but after seeing new designs and quality fabric offered by this brand, I am more convinced to try out something new: girly, feminine and simply chic.

THANK YOU, UNICA IJA! It was a great way to end PhFW. :)

See you next season!

PhFW: The Ramp Crossings

Sun, 27 May 2012 13:41:00 -0400

Before anything else. I have a gift for you. Read this ARTICLE by Anna Canlas to find out how to be PhFW ready. :)

It was such an exciting day for me because FINALLY, I had one of my friends watch Philippine Fashion Week with me. I only had 3 invites from three shows ~~(Runway Productions, please don’t make it harder for us? please?)~~ and I only got to go to 2 :( Nonetheless, it was all worth it. I have to work with what I have. So, even if this post is almost a week late, I hope you’ll still enjoy it.

I decided to wear this dress from Monster closet. It’s such a beauty, isn’t it? Edgy, fierce and comfortable all in one. It wasn’t hot at all because the fabric was cotton and it’s “light”. Plus it’s just 350! GREAT FIND INDEED. I wanted to highlight the fur detail of the dress so I paired it with a black clutch (from Aldo) and black fur boots (from China) to keep it simple. Overall, the outfit is textured (leather cluch, fur boots, fur detail on dress) yet simply put together to get the laid back (but still fierce) feel.

I went with Riana and Rain. They’re brother and sister. Riana’s an aspiring model while Rain’s a photographer and one of my bestfriends. They’re the best people to go with. No dead air at all.

BTW, All shots (except Rain’s shot, I took it. PROUD :>) are by Rain Pangindian. Please do hire him. He’s a great photographer.

Runway shots.

Overall, The Ramp’s Collection focused more on colors and sheer fabrics. It’s definitely one of the trends that will stay longer than the usual trends. Personally, I think it’s because sheer’s very comfortable despite the humid weather in our country, yet it can also be girly and edgy depending on how it’s styled and worn. It’s very versatile.

Their collection focused more on the young generation (they were also a number of kids who walked) and was pretty classy. Good job! :)

Also, before and after the show, we took some shots of people who we’re very fashyown. We weren’t able to get their names, though at least they’re here in my blog as a style bearers. :D

This kid’s top was an eye catcher, plus his look it very laid back. Lakers’ colors. hmm…

Edgy.Unique.

Business Casual. She’s from Manila Bulletin and she took our photos too. *kilig*

Street style. He’s a model.TEEHEE

I really liked this guy’s style, plus the fact that he was carrying a camera (artsy kaya siya? haha) made his look photo worthy. HAHA (labo)

Cute Beanie and boots! This intern caught our eye!

Who wouldn’t know this guy’s name? Andre Chang outdoes himself each and every time.

FAN GIRL. haha

Daryl Chang, Preview’s fashion editor. She’s in the top of my “people I look up to” list.

And that’s it for this show!

Hope to see you in next season’s PhFW.

Style Inspiration from thesartorialist.com

This site has been one of the first few blogs I’ve been introduced to, and until now I haven’t stopped reading it. Last week I took the liberty of saving the photos in my computer and since it inspired me a lot, I thought it’d be best if I shared them with you. :)

I just wish everyone in Manila are as fashion forward as these people. Layering, colors, and patterns everywhere. *inspired*

Monopolize the House

Mon, 14 May 2012 13:07:27 -0400

Eversince I was a little girl, I adored the game of MONOPOLY. The smell of the paper bills, the satisfaction you get when other players are scared to come across your heavily-housed path, the random “go to jail” moments and the salary you get whenever you pass “go”. That’s the dream. Well, I’ve passed the rules, strategies and such to my little sisters and they’re getting better at it! Actually, they’re also as into it as I am, and now that we have the Electronic version (the “atm” cards) we play it more often. :)

Of course before playing, we ordered pizza from Shakey’s so that we can feel the chill-playing-a-board-game vibe (labo, haha)

I think eating alot is also common in the family. :))

My sister, Liani, prepared the set-up for the game. We all liked to play on the floor so we can do whatever while playing. :)

Here’s what makes this version different.

I love the fact that they’ve already come up with a tray for the banker so that all transactions and materials are organized.

Sorry for this photo. hahaha

My properties.
I usually buy one whole strip and fill it with hotels and houses so that when opponents land on it, BOOM! RENT! :D

I won the game of course, but only because my sisters forfeited They were afraid to get bankrupted (which is weird because that was the point of the game) and they were getting sleepy. :(

And oh, while eating and playing we were also watching our favorite movie of all time. Can you guess? :)

This is what we usually do to bond. Summer staycation all the way!

How’s your summer lately? :)

Mother's Day at Saisaki

Mon, 14 May 2012 03:44:23 -0400

As you all know, Mother’s day was celebrated yesterday and as expected malls will be full of people and restaurants will jampacked with reservations. Thankfully, even without reserving a table in Dads, Kamayan and Saisaki; we were able to get a slot! WHEW! Kudos to this famous buffet restaurant for having an organized system. :)

I’m not usually the cheesy type when it comes to my family, specially to my mom, but I did my best to write her a letter. (Is it dramatic enough? i wanted to make cry while reading it. Since my mom cries easily I guess she will. HAHA) I know this is personal but I am sharing this to you so that you all know how much i love my mother. :) On another note, the card says “belated” because I am only giving her gift now. Yes, a day late.

I got her a cologne from H&M HK. Thanks to my friend Sam for buying this for me! :) BTW, he bought two, the other one’s for me :> (salamat sa pautang HAHA)

Off to the food! :) I chose the saisaki buffet because I love Japanese food, specifically their sushi and sashimi.

Of course, tempura too! I had to wait 5 mins for these babies. Everyone got crowded in the tempura area, so agawan talaga.

This was my brother’s maki plate. Yes, aside from his mountain of rice and ulam he also had this and another plate for his tempura. Seriously, i don’t know how guys fit all those food in. #amazing

These skewers were mostly fish, the other one was bacon wrapped. SPAZ.

Finally, dessert! YUMYUMYUM. My mom and I love dessert so we devoured our dessert plates like pigs. HAHA

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, MA!!! :D -from all of us (kahit wala si kuya sa picture) =))
