BALANCING ACT x 7 INCH HEELS
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...

LAZY OUTFIT x SPORTSWEAR X CORPORATE
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...

TWENTY ONE x FIAMMA x 1.13.12
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...

Neither Red nor Orange
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...

Cafe Publico x Gelato
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...

Cuisine Centrale
During the last week of December, my friends and I met up for lunch and we went to try this new restaurant - Cuisine Centrale. Since it’s the holiday season, diet is temporarily out of our vocabulary. So beware of food spamming.
There’s an ‘E’ after the central. My bad.
While waiting for our food, we talked about how we spent Christmas. Aside from that we also...

Roses are not always red.
On one random night, I received three beautiful white roses. I got surprised actually. It has been a while since I got some flowers.
Although rose is not exactly my favorite flower, I still got thrilled when I received these. Who wouldn’t right? Plus, the fact that it’s white, (I don’t like red roses) made me more kilig. haha!
Want to give a wild guess who gave this to...

MIRACLE PROJECT
This shoot is done for Miracle Project, which is, at the same time, my friend Pael’s make-up portfolio.
Here is the peg for the make-up and the shoot.
It took some time before I could finally get to the effect that I want. Contrary to Ziggy Stardust’s glaring light and red effects, I decided to do it my way - the usual high contrast and natural looking light. I think it still...

HABI x WALK HAPPY
HABI FOOTWEAR, the HIPPEST, SPUNKIEST, most AWESOME, COMFORTABLE and ECO-FRIENDLY shoe woven with LOVE by the mothers of Kawan ni Sto. Nino Community.
When I talked to Janine (co-owner HABI), she said that the mothers were only earning a small amount of money from making weaved rags. Their group took the idea of weaving then incorporating them into these shoes. They hired the mom’s of...

Jozu Kin x Ronac Art Center
It’s been a while since the UAAP season ended. I’m already missing it and some people too. Before the PCCL game, Tata and I had lunch together in Jozu Kin, Ronac Art Center.
It’s always a good feeling to catch up with a good friend. <3

Mel x Indestructible shoes x Rain
I’ve been really wanting to get a pair of those jelly shoes. I’m a very practical person, so I wanted something plain and versatile that I could pair with whatever I wear. Then again, finding the perfect pair of shoes is always difficult.
Emman and I went to Shoe Salon and I was fitting some jelly flats from Mel. Then he asked told me to try something new aside from ballet...

MEGA x MARA CHUA
Remember this photo? This post is what it’s all about.
I would like to congratulate my sibling, MARA CHUA, the creative genius behind Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, for making it to the TOP 18 of MEGA YOUNG DESIGNERS COMPETITION.
I’ve been itching to release these photos since forever. I just needed to wait till the episode is out before I could share it to all of you. Below...

Leopard is so Yesterday.
I just thought of the title since I just updated my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. Connecting Snow leopard to an almost unrelated matter, I also updated my lookbook around two weeks ago - almost the same time i updated my OS.
So i found this leopard print sweater at home, and decided to ‘claim it’ and bring it to Taipei with me. Pardon the face. That’s the most decent one...
