Pink Printed Suit

On this day I was tasked to be the photog for my mom's party once again. It was agreed upon that the guests all wear their favorite colors. Guess what mine is. Haha. Mine's red actually but I was surprised to learn that I didn't own any red clothes so I figured my next fave color would do. It was raining when I wore this out btw so the blazer and pants weren't too stuffy for me. I played with two different prints here but it all worked cohesively because of the same pantones in this look. I was going for a girly and more playful version of a man's suit. So what do you guys think?

Flower Power

Floral was the theme of the night on Day 2 of PFW. My mom and I went out of our rooms that night feeling pleasantly surprised to find both of us clad in the print. I love it whenever I'm "terno" with Mama. Recently, I've been wearing matching outfits with a special someone too! We don't even talk about it. I get secretly giddy whenever that happens. It's like a simple and subtle way of showing the world that this person and I are on the same page or at least have the same taste in fashion. I hope that makes sense. Haha! 

The Ezra Santos collection was one of my faves btw. It showcased his impeccable taste, masterful beadwork, sophistication, excellent tailoring and understanding of a woman's body. I've nothing but praises for his art! The moment his first garment went down the runway, we were immediately entranced and he kept us hooked 'til the last piece! My mom and I were just gaping and I kept saying to her, "ang gandaaa" while clutching her arm for support. Yes, I was that IN LOVE with his pieces. It transported me to a time when I used to watch runway shows (of Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, CK, Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera etc.) on FashionTv as a child. I remember feeling this very strong desire and passion of becoming a designer one day every-freakin-time I watch these shows. Anyway, I might do a post on Ezra's collection soon just so I can show you what I saw that night and because I want everyone who reads this blog to appreciate his talent too. :)

A Change of Scene

Akward length, yea? Makes me wonder if this is a midi or maxi dress. Hence I call it the "Midi-Maxi Dress".

I was quite elated when I saw these photos that were taken by my mom. Love how she just clicked away which resulted to paparazzi like-photos and how her steady hands handled my heavy lens. Hmm, I can finally stop paying my little sister to take my outfit shots MWA-HA-HA-HA!

Birthday girls Anna Banana and Melibabes!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw all these books (they were medical books though haha!)

I just had to sleep...and Meli just had to take advantage of my vulnerability. Haha!

Waking up to this breathtaking scene. Reminded me of the movie "Everybody's Fine" 'coz of the wires silhouette against the skyline. Sunrise in Laguna. Just lovely.

Bidding this place farewell. Welcome me back Manila.

It was my college BFF's (Anna Banana!) 18th birthday and it required us to go to Laguna, where she lives. Because it was so far away from where I live (hello Quezon City!), I almost didn't make it to her party. But thank God to Meli (our block's google map and certified gala---I mean that in a good way babe!), I was able to arrive in Laguna (and come back home to MNL) safely. (Thanks for the comapany too!) I just wish Bryan, Russel, Guia and Rielle were there also to party with us and enjoy the stunning scene together! Anyway, it was a nice change of scene and Anna is now 18 (read that out loud and you'll find that it rhymes haha!).
