Remember these babies? Since I love them so much, I decided to create a separate entry for these fierce shoes.
This one is designed by Karina Nash. I like the red detail to it — Gives it contrast and color.
Still by Karina Nash. These were the booties that I wore here. Again, I like how the designer incorporated a little bit of color to the shoe. It add’s surprise to it.
This one is by Seph Bagasao. This one is my favorite. The combination of brown and black makes it look very classy; then the platform is very constructed - pretty much my aesthetic. Boy meets girl kind of thing. Never too girly, never boyish as well.
Seph Bagasao. The edgiest is there such a word of them all. (Forgive Mr. Quickie. haha! they needed that to make the shoes fit to the model and I can’t remove it) This one is very constructed- from the platforms to the leather on top of the suede. Very strong details.
So there you have it! I’m not really a fashion blogger, so I just gave thoughts about each shoe. Which one is your favorite?
For this chalenge, they were divided into three groups. The groups were tasked to create a collection based on the color that they were assigned.
CATCH — GEN M: Mega Young Designers. Every Saturday, 7pm; Replays on Sundays, 10am. Only at ETC.

My sibling called me up to go to Prive and shoot some BTS scenes for MEGA YDC. When I got there, I saw the models wearing fierce shoes designed by students from Fashion Institute of the Philippines. Let’s just say I borrowed them to create outfit posts.
I went there wearing flats (which you can see on the lower left corner). These booties are the only thing that can fit me since all of the shoes are model size ranging from 9-10. My shoe size ranges from 7.5-9 but, this one is still too big for me.
What I wore: Orange top and Blazer, Terranova; White shorts, Bench; Black boots, Karina Nash.
Balancing in these babies are though. I was actually about to fall after this shot. Walking with it is okay — just be extra careful and mind your steps.
I want to keep this so bad. I hope she makes more in normal sizes!

The forecast for 2012 is sportswear meets corporate. So, here’s my lazy take on that.
This is the outfit that I wore to the shoot. When I do photoshoots, expect me to be in my most rugged or my most comfortable clothes. I rarely dress up for a shoot not unless I need to or I have some place to go after.
Purple blazer, thrifted; White Runnin’ Shirt (which I stole from boyfie’s closet), Adidas; Denim shorts, Mango
Black Espadrilles, HABI Footwear.

Initially, when the hosts of Fiamma asked me if I want to have a party there, I declined. Mainly because I don’t really go out to party, go clubbing or even drink as much - so having a party in Fiamma would be pretty ironic. haha! The other reason is that I am not available on the 14th since me and my family already made plans. Thank God they were persistent enough to convince me! They offered me a table on friday the 13th — Well, I only turn 21 once! So, FIAMMA it is.
Emman told me that I look more Korean than Chinese. I don’t know if that is good or bad.
Melissa Ricks, Paul Jake, and my cousin Beauty went there too. Too bad I was not able to have a picture with them. Technically, they passed by Fiamma just for me! (i feel the love and keso coming <3 )
Mon with my favorite Binondo girls: Kim Chiu and Kim Chiu. haha!
Loving my photo here with the ever ferosh Vince!
The party won’t be as fun if all these people did not go. So, thank you!:D
Everyone is holding up their drinks except for…dundundun. me. haha! cheating cheetah. We started early and we ended early as well. We have some student duties to perform the next day. Still, I definitely had a blast. Thanks to all those who came, you made my night!:D cheers!
Of course, thank you to the Fiamma and their awesome team: Mikko, Gaby and Zaya! Special thanks to Sir Pao and Carlo Trillo. All photos are from: Fiamma Fresh Fridays photographers. Most of the photos are by Tonio.
Last but not the least, there’s this one person who never fails to put a smile on my face. Emman, thank you for making my birthday one of the best. <3

This is what I wore when I had lunch and dessert with friends. I woke up late. Yes, late for lunch. It’s the Holiday season so my body clock is so messed up. I literally grabbed the first dress that I saw. I did not even bother changing my bag. HAHA.
Red-orange dress and cream cardigan with ribbon details, both from Taipei. Black tote bag from Muji.
Black Espadrilles from HABI FOOTWEAR
I like investing on dresses since you could easily wear it casually or you could always dress it up.

After our Cuisine Centrale lunch, my friends and I headed to Promenade to try Cafe Publico. We went there during their soft opening, as far as I remeber, *i think* they were only serving gelato at that time.
We ordered 3 cups of gelato in small size. Swiss Alps, Good Shepherds’s Ube and Vanilla. I loved all of it. <3
My favorite is ube. I love good Shepherd’s ube, and for it to become a gelato - I *drool*. I was supposed to share with my friend Dawn but, I think I ate more than my share.
Cafe Publico offers you more than just gelato and food. It gives you a different experience by giving you the best ambiance and interiors. I loved how they transformed this beam from something that is blocking the ceiling to something that is fun and enjoyable for the customers.
We indeed had a lot of fun with it! They also have a lot of interesting stuff inside - Picture worthy place!
Cafe Publico is located in the Second floor of Greenhills Promenade.
“The latest public outcry is all for Cafe Publico, where everyone gets their spot under the sky with gelato, snacks, coffee, wine, and more. At Publico, everyday is a public holiday!”
