It's a GREEN dress

Hello Charmed girls!

Back to school countdown! Have you started counting yet? LoL. Wish we could "count up" instead. Haha! Okay since the school's coming up in a few days, it maybe my last chance to take decent outfit shots. Thanks to my ever patient and teasing mom for taking my photos and to help me with my outfit. :D

Remember the gown I wore at my bestie's debut? And the laced cardigan I used to dress down my LBD at PFW? Those 2 items I bought during the shopping spree from Embellish. Now I'm wearing these two pieces at the same time. Hope I can pull it off. :D



What I[and my mom] did was that we folded the gown up to the half-slip and ensured its place by the black lace belt to transform it into a dress.
See the title of my post? It's really like moss green but looks light blue under flash. That's why the accessories I used are color green.

Here's the gown from Embellish FB page




I was thinking of a casual-corporate attire. The dress has a lace details on the side seen without the blazer making it an outfit you can wear to a cocktail party. While topping it with a blazer turns like I'm one of those walking the streets of Ayala.

And I'm wearing my favorite nude pumps with leopard prints that made me look like a long-legged, tall lady! That's what I've learned from Ms. Aisa Ipac when I asked some styling tips for my body type. The blazer and the lace details made me look thinner too!

My fave shot!! Whee!!
I look like an office girl here! Haha XD
   Embellish has a wide range of outfits that brings out every Filipina's sense of style. Like what I've done, it's a "transforming"outfit-  something you can wear from day to night, from office to a party. What most of us do, we are so busy that we have to think of other ways to wear it. Me, I don't have enough clothes to wear and blog to be a true blue fashion blogger, because I seldom buy clothes. But whenever I buy, I always consider how many times I can wear it in different styles. That's versatility.

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!

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.

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!


The back view

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!
