Mint-to-be Fashion Illustration Workshop by Rio Mints and Tin Iglesias

Hello Charmed!

It's been a busy week for a lot of us here. Good thing we had a very loooong weekend (Last Friday was a holiday and no Monday classes!).
Last Saturday I was able to attend Mint-to-be workshop by Rio Mints,this time a fashion illustration workshop by Tin Iglesias!





The venue was in Thaipan resto at Tomas Morato Ave. If you only knew how we felt when we found it!  (Okay, we're kinda lost T.T)



Because I arrived late, (blame me for getting lost T.T), I wasn't able to take a lot of pics, and missed Tin's presentation... but anyway I always frequent her blog so I'm familiar to some of her illustrations.






When I arrived, Tin greeted me and hand me this module and some materials.

First thing to do, sketch a body figure on a graphing paper.



When I was 12, I was trying to do some fashion designing; getting a blank sheet of paper, drawing gowns and dresses, sometimes I get inspiration from newspaper fashion editorials which I cut-out and paste and compile along with my designs. But I think it's the TV that inspired me most like Tommy Hilfiger's show, Project Runway, ANTM and other reality fashion programs. Then I "stopped" since I'm the kind of girl that wants to try everything new. I didn't improve much of my drawing skills. Good thing this workshop brought back my drawing instincts again. And this Figure Road Map module is so helpful!



That was us busy sketching, drawing, and asking Tin on how to do this and that! haha XD



While of course, chewing Rio mints! Includes their newest flavor, Sweet Mango! :)





She's my seat mate. Oh no, I forgot her name T.T. Anyway, thanks for some chats!

Some of their works









It's my first time to try Thai food. I really liked their dessert!




Tin working on her concept of Rio Mint Sweet Mango flavor.

Tin became popular not only because of her style blog, but most of all her talent in illustration and drawing. Mostly about fashion. No wonder why she excels being a UP Clothing Technology student and a stylist!



Can't believe she just did it in so little time!

I have to go early because the next day's my dad's birthday and we have to go to Quiapo to buy seafoods (and to haul accessories haha XD).

Just one pic with Tin before I leave!

Thank you so much Rio Mints and Tin Iglesias!

Embellish Shopping and Workshop with Tin Iglesias, Aisa Ipac and Tracy Ayson

Hello Charmed girls!


       Last Friday, I went to The Podium to shop at Embellish with Tin Iglesias! I just won Php1000 shopping allowance and Php500  ZALORA GC! How's that! See how I won here. If you only knew how bad the day was for me (I'm just relieving my stress by watching Sherlock Holmes!--the British one--Benedict Cumberbatch is just so hot!) until Tin tagged me in her comment that I will shop with her! Oh my, I really need new addition to my wardrobe plus, the shopping helped me ease my feeling! I'm just so excited!

The Embellish shop is located inside Markati Palazzo at 4th Floor of The Podium. 

There I was welcomed by the Embellish team!

With Ms. Je-Anne

While waiting for the event to start, I took pictures of the place and the products inside.

Embellish is a local brand that brings out every Filipina's unique sense of style.
  

These Jacinto & Lirio bags are so fab! Plus they are Filipino made!

Buffet

After some time, Tracy Ayson and Tin Iglesias came! Yey!

  In case you don't know, it's my second time to meet Tin. Remember the first? The SSB?  I posted it! Here. And still, I am still surprised by her! What I mean is her character haha XD First thought, Tin's a shy type lady but when you meet her, she's so becky! Actually the three of them hoho :D


While waiting for Ms.Aisa Ipac, we started shopping!!!!!

Thea (co-winner), Tin and Me!

Actually, I didn't have the hard time to choose since I've already knew my style and I have the first thing to find; a dress. I actually found one, and it's really a gown! Haha XD Thankfully, we've got two popular blogger/stylists in town to help us choose our wardrobe!


And here's Paxie, Ms. Aisa Ipac! 

They started the Blogging and Styling Workshop. There, they talked about how to deal with sponsors, to manage blogs,and also when they started styling and their styling 101's. I was very receptive of what I hear from them, of course! I always visit their blogs for styling tips and featured brands, what's in and what's not! Especially, Fashion Ate the World by Tin, since I liked her style, and I like to guess which place in UPD she shot her pics! haha XD, and have you been seeing her hairstyle nowadays? The braids, yes! I'm envious 'coz I'm still on my short hair moment haha XD
  

They've been asked to sample their style using the products inside Embellish.

Tracy and Tin browsing from the prints and blacks section


Tracy's more of a feminine style, and also to show how to play with "print on print", she picked the sheer floral polo and a floral shorts to match.

Paxie likes vintage and showed us how to layer clothes properly.

Grunge and Edgy is Tin Iglesias' style. Fringed black blouse and a matching short completes her chosen outfit. Matching without overpowering the one from the other.

I really enjoyed the shopping and the workshop! Thank you Embellish!
The moment I can't forget is the chat I had with Ms. Aisa Ipac! First I asked for style advice (syempre di ba?Helur!Stylist siya now ni Karylle! ), where she shoots outfit shots and who's her photographer; she said that it was all self-timered! I was surprised ! (insert "Oh God, Why?" meme here) Samantalang ako hirap na hirap mag-outfit shot pag self timered, siya…. Oh my, something are really meant to be pulled off by others. *sighs* Infairness, I we had a good conversation. Kinilig pa nga ako eh! 'Coz I asked Tin and Aisa to comment about the earrings I'm wearing, (oo, pinilit ko sila mag-comment!haha XD), they said it's cute! Then I told them I made those earrings! I received a couple of "Ooohh.."s and they asked some questions >.< I'm so kilig! Thank you so much! You boosted my handcrafting confidence level! Yeah!

Here's a close up of my handmade earrings.
Hmm.. What should I call them? :)

My Embellish shopping bag! Inside it was an olive green dress (which is really a gown for me!) and my favorite piece that day, a black long sleeved cardigan with lace details! Whee!! I love the pieces I've picked! I planned of wearing the dress/gown to my bestfriend, Leika's, debut on the 22nd, and the cardigan… I plan of joining Embellish's Blogging/Styling Contest to win Php 10,000 worth of ZALORA GC and more! The cardigan is just a lovely piece and can really make an outfit fab!

Thank you again Embellish!

And I can use my ZALORA gift voucher to shop more Embellish's items!

P.S. Thanks to Ate Paige for my nail polish. The shade is Diva by Caronia :D

'Til next! xoxo :D

Love,
MoMo :)
