Summer Dressin' + Meg Feature!

My new 35mm film waterproof lomo camera that I won over from Lee's giveaway! Thank you Lee I super loooove it and also the red lips necklace and earrings! You know I love red lippies! :)
Overexposed shots! What the hell, let's all just imagine that I am bathed in the sun's orange-y glow! Haha!

Now this one's just right. See how you can tell that my lipstick color is light orange and not really nude? Yep. All because of the lighting. Tyra Banks was right when she told her ANTM girls to "FIND THE LIGHT". Haha!

Summer is indeed in its full swing here in Manila, so much so that I can really feel the heat and the sun's rays prickling my skin whenever I go out which makes me more determined to stay in and do nothing that will make me work up a sweat! This week I managed to chug down 5 bottles of Coke (the big ones) and yes, I am perfectly aware that it's bad for my health but what can I do? The girl's thirsty. I hope I still have the drive to dress-up under this intense heat though. Okay okay enough with the complainin' (see I'm no beach babe and summer lover, I worship THE RAIN and THE COLD). I hate heat and the sun so much that I stayed at home all week long when the whole family went to Boracay last week (see, mi brotha just came home from Canada)! So where could a girl like me enjoy a nice swim? At a nice secluded falls or private pool maybe. But never when it's sunny. Night swimming, everyone?

On a slightly different note (imagine my voice getting an octave higher as I proceed to tell you to...), please grab a copy of the May 2011 issue of meg Magazine! En and I are featured on their Stylestalker section for this month! I am still so shaken from seeing myself on a magazine! I used to dream (well, I still do) of being the girl whose face was plastered on a glossy!!! SO FREAKIN' STOKED MAAAAAN LIKE ASDFGHJKL!!! Pardon my excitement, it's just that, it's my first print feature evaaaah so...yeah. =)) Special thanks to Zanti Jimenez! :)
I have A LOT to be thankful for this May! So how's everybody doin'? Hope you're all having fun basking in the sun (unlike me hehe)! That's it for now mi lovelies! 'Til the next post!

The Movie In My Mind

If you've been following my blog long enough, you would know by now how much I love the color red, flamboyant gowns and Old Hollywood Glamour. Combine these three elements together and you've got a very dramatic, elegant, eye candy of a gown that will make anyone dream of the golden days of Hollywood or maybe just the gown. These photos of Fan Bingbing, a Chinese actress/singer who's recently making it big in Hollywood and wowing the fashion designers and fashion enthusiasts alike with her style, are from her 2010 drama/espionage movie East Wind, Rain.

Oh my don't you just love the composition of the photos, the red gown which has a 5-meter-train (if I'm not mistaken), her flawless Asian porcelain skin, her long jet-black hair, and the drama of it all? It makes me wish I could re-do my debut all over again. Haha!

*title came from a song in the musical Miss Saigon (yep I changed the title)

PS. Will be back to regular posting of outfits after this, I just had to post this!

PPS. Now I dream of being a spy, disguising myself as a singer singing my heart out in Shanghai garbed in the most wonderful gown ever (talk about going incognito)! And that is my imagination running wild. Haha!

photos grabbed from this and this.
