{INNER REBEL}

Photo credits: Mom

Dressing up is one thing in this world I'll never get tired of doing. The clothes I wear or the style I aim for the day depends immensely on my current mood. Oftentimes I dress according to what makes me feel confident. I am not one who is easily influenced by trends or  constrained to one look-defining style. One day i'm a  70's hippie, then classic businesslike the next especially when work requires it.  

As for today, I am channeling my inner rebellious side. And i must admit the way I carried myself to work this morning had some certain rebel swagger to it too. Blame it on the booties. hahaha

La Vie Boheme

We had a bohemian-themed shoot last Saturday so I decided to dress bohemian too to be in the mood and to keep the creative juices flowing.   I'm too excited how the photos will turn out. The boyf is currently post-processing them right now. Can't hardly wait! :)
But because I'm overly excited here is a sneak peek of the shoot last Saturday.




Wearing thrifted brown boho top, thrifted denim shorts, thrifted Anna Sui belt, People r People sandals, vintage Raybans.

Meanwhile, enjoy Xiao & Angel's post-nup session for now. Too bad it rained on the night of their wedding they had not got the chance to release their fire lanterns. Because they are such a cool couple, we were more than glad to recreate the moment for them. It was  dreamy and magical. :)

OVER THE MOON

I was feeling very stressed and haggard lately because of a crazy work week so the boyfriend and I decided to watch a movie. We only normally watch movies with rave reviews but this time i just wanna sit down, stretch my legs, eat jumbo fries, and lean on the boyf's shoulders to forget the crazy days that passed.
We were waiting for the movie to start when he mentioned about Eden of CHIC IN THE TROPICS posting something on facebook like us being invited to a blogger event. I told him maybe it was for the Benmore Whisky Launch that's happening on the 22nd of October. But he said it was something which will be held in Manila and something that sounded like Bloggers United. OH MY PRAISE THE LORD GOD! It was an invite to participate in the 2nd Bloggers United: An Interactive Shopping Affair. I had to pick up my mouth from the popcorn-laden floor. The boyfriend looked so perplexed coz i was rocking the seat so hard i swear the guy seated next to me wanted to punch me in the head already. HAHA
He was asking me why it was such a big deal to me and i was like hello, Bloggers United is like the New York, Milan, Paris fashion week (but for a very good cause) of Filipino bloggers all rolled into one.
This is a great reward for a hella crazy week. I am beyond thrilled right now. :)
Thank you to the people behind Bloggers United, Aisa of DROWNING EQUILIBRIUMS, Melai of STYLE AND SOUL, and Ana of ANAGON for this wonderful opportunity.:)


Bloggers United 2 will be on the 3rd of December at Treston International College's Multipurpose Hall.


Stay tuned guys for updates. :)

BEAUTY AND BUTTER

I got invited by Mac of STYLE CEBU for a blogger hang out at Beauty and Butter spa/salon in SM You guys probably know by now that I seldom go out but this one I had to make time because a) I so wanted to try nail art for too long already b) I wanted to wear my PhP 20-thrifted robe dress I got two weeks ago from Las Pinas and c) i wanted to meet Mac whom i met (at least in the pictures) a little over a year ago while browsing a wedding blog, i stalked her portfolio a couple of times, i was a fan I just had to meet her, period.


On to the outfit...


Because i seldom go out, I lack practice so my make-up skills are a little poor so I had to seek my officemate's help. Props to Dani of ESSENTIAL SANCTUARY for the make-up. Naks! Feeling celebrity. haha
I'm wearing a vintage robe dress, thrifted belt, PrP red heels, and various 168 accessories. :)

BEAUTY AND BUTTER


Everybody's all settled with their respective "buttercups" attending to their pampering needs when Mac and I arrived. The place exudes a fun and quirky vibe and I love the rich and colorful interior design. They offer a wide range of services like foot spa, facial, mani/pedi, nail art, among others.    I was actually torn between getting a nail art or a foot spa. The variety of cute nail art designs to choose from won me over. Did I also mention they have all the yummy neon colors I so wanted to try. After changing my mind for like 48 times on what design to choose,  I finally settled for this black and pink animal print. But I am so dying to try the other designs I already told the boyfriend that next time instead of waiting for him to get his hair styled at a nearby salon, I'll have my dose of well deserved pampering at Beauty and Butter. haha
Too bad I wasn't able to chat up with the other bloggers and pose for a photo op coz I was the last one to got finished. But last night was super fun I pinky promise to be more active in blogger events from now on. :)



Mac is even more gorgeous in person. :)
