Philippine Fashion Week Day 4: Cary Santiago's Show

Hello Charmed people!

Hope you enjoyed watching the PFW! Especially those fashion bloggers who want to show off their outfits and to those who just want to stalk fashion icons out there. Haha :D. I just attended Cary Santiago's show along with my fellow bloggers and the winners of my invites giveaway. Unfortunately, my cellphone malfunctioned that day, so I wasn't able to contact them (even my parents!)! I was only able to meet one winner, Geri! Nice chat with you!

Here's our shoot!

Laced Cardigan| Embellish

See my top? That's actually the LBD I wore at DDG Grand Launch! It's an example on how you can dress up or down an LBD. :D




If you are a keen observer, I repeat clothes, but I do keep in mind to mix and match and wear them on different occasions and groups. 

Collar Necklace | Summer Dream

Bangles| mine
Ring| Summer Dream

Pumps| The Landmark

It's my school bag! Haha XD

And here's Geri!!!!

If you happen to visit her blog <http://gerimagsakay.tumblr.com/>, you'll notice that she buys her clothes from thrift shops and ukays. That's why I blog hop on her blog and read her posts 'cause I don't buy from ukays 'cause I hear those we're from unwanted sources (okay, you know these things right?). But when we chatted, we talked about how to safely shop on ukays and where's the place to buy. And it's really a money-saver! You can't guess that Geri's outfit just sums up around Php200!!! While my pumps(which is the newest) already worth 500pesos! See? see? *sighs*

Anyways, back to PFW. Here's the runway.



I was with Nana and my new friend I just met in the line, Joy.

Here are the design's of Cary Santiago. Seems familiar? Yes, some of these gowns were those worn by Camille Co, Laureen Uy and Tricia Gosingtian for the Preview Magazine cover.

This outfit looks very "Effie Trinket" to me! I'm so excited for Catching Fire na!

And here's my favorite!

I wonder why I'm so fascinated by this type of design. Well, they are so intricate! I just love it. :)

And that's it!

What about you? What's your PFW story? Share it!

Hello Charmed Girls!

Last Thursday I went to Drop Dead Gorgeous Magazine's Grand Launch which was held at Prive Luxury Club. Of course I won't miss the chance to be there because the first issue featured me and Aimee and the Charmed blog!

  Hearing the location and the event, the first thing I had in mind was the word GLAMOUR. DDG magazine features beautiful, sophisticated, gorgeous ladies that will be the faces of the magazine, and the location, Prive Luxury Club at The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, is a "luxury club", a hang-out for classy people who likes to feel a high-class party experience. Their black and gold interiors really screams GLAMOUR!!! So I won't doubt why in the DDG e-invite the dress code is chic casual-black and-gold.

   I got the invite 5 days before the event. Short preparation eh? Good thing I had my best-fashionista-blogger-friends Aimee and Paige to the rescue!! 

  Aimee picked this dress for me. Knowing she has an upcoming accessories collection in Summer Dream, I asked her if she has black-and-gold accessories .The next day, she brought a whole set! Includes the collar necklace, gold bangle, tassel earrings and the butterfly ring! Love talaga kita Aimee! Outfit saver ka!

Paige from Petit Rayon de Soleil lend me these shoes! So fab! Really complements the dress!
Thank you Paige! Love you too!

I love the reflective walls inside Prive! See? Told ya! GLAMOUR is first word you can think of aside from "Wow!" or "Fabulous!" haha :D!
Does this look like an oh-no-what-will-I-wear outfit? Haha! I really loved how the black flowy dress plus the rough chic peep-toe boots create contrast yet partnered with gold accessories make it so glamorous. Simplicity at its best, yeah.

  Another thanks to my bestfriend/neighbor/make-up artist for the night, Daisy for doing my make-up! She kept it light with foundation, eyeliner and brown eyeshadow and of course the red lipstick! It really looked good to me! "And that's because of my gorgeous and magical hands" she said. Haha :D
