Skin Tone

Two posts in one night. Now that's something. I feel like I'm blogging like there's no tomorrow! Don't get used to it though, once term 2 resumes for me it's back to sporadic posts again. But since I'm still enjoying my term break, here's yesterday's outfit post! I wore this to this event so click this! Hee.

So much details in one look, yeah? But I liked how this outfit was sort of like a blank canvass for me. It was the perfect outfit to showcase some interesting little details and accessories. Looking at these photos now, I can't help but feel so happy. 'Coz this is what style blogging is all about for me. It's about documenting the day I wore this particular outfit and how I felt so freakin' good inside 'coz I loved what I was wearing. It's preserving the memory of these clothes and capturing that moment, that glorious moment of feeling so damn great in these clothes on photos. So yeah, some people might raise their eyebrows and think of what I'm doing as shallow but this is not just about being materialistic and conceited (although it is a bit conceited if you ask me haha). Because for me, fashion is a beautiful beautiful (and I had to repeat the word twice for emphasis...and I really have to stop this intrapersonal talk haha!) avenue for self-expression. I love fashion because this is my art. It's your art as well, my dear reader. I believe that I wake up everyday for my family, friends and for that one thing that I am supposed to do while I exist in this world. I don't have to be busy with different things, as long as I get to do that one thing that I love doing. I know of someone who was so awfully committed to his art. In the past, I thought it was a bit much that he never got tired of drawing even though it's what he always did on a daily basis. He even said that he loved his art more than any girl in the world. Well, I understand you now my friend...and I miss you. :)

So yeah, I really don't know why I just typed all of that. I'm just feeling really passionate about fashion tonight. Oh dear me, I need to sleep this off. Fast. Haha!

Pageant Judging + Dinner Out!

Hi y'all! This isn't an outfit post but I'll get to that later as I'm going to create another blog post for that. So for now, here's what happened last night when my childhood friend Camille and I were asked to judge a beauty pageant for JCFAP where students from different universities gathered for this event.
I wore my Bench leotard-ish beige top, ShopCapricious tan culottes, Top Avenue single feather earring, Apricot studded heels from Manels and tan cambridge-inspired satchel from Coconut Gold.

The judges' table. Dun-dun-dun.

I wasn't really jotting anything down. Just posin' for the camera! Haha!

Cams and I hate flash photography (only 'coz we don't know how to come up with stellar photos using flash and...maybe 'coz I need an external flash?), but anyway, we think it's too harsh and we always end up with our eyes closed in pictures! Hence, our weird poses here. Haha!

So good of En and Rej to come with us! They're my grade school chums, you see. :)

Thank you to our sponsor Presto Creams. Chos!

The emcees and the president of the organization. :)

The girl who won the shortest shorts award. No kidding! You can barely see her shorts! Haha!

Ay bongga si ate. Kabog! This is what you call...Labas-bra-fasyooown. :)

Thank you to Leni for being so caring and accommodating! T'was nice meeting you! Sobrang bait niya swear. :)

Super duper mega late dinner at Johnny Rockets in Tomas Morato. Hihi home of the dancing servers. :)
Kawawang jukebox. Di namin tinantanan to. Haha!Nakasalalay sa piso ang aming kaligayahan. Haha!
Doing some old school moves. The "I'm drowning" dance.
I've had better milkshakes but...ah the hell with it!
Oh how I love soggy fries.
May gatas pa ako sa labi. :))
Cams felt so full she can't even smile. Haha!

And that's that! Cams and I had a fun time judging. Frantically looking up to see the candidates and glancing down our score charts (man they walked sooo fast!), sniggering as the male candidates took their shirts off while the girls screamed in delight and trying hard not to burst out laughing when those who weren't so blessed in the "buff" department walked down the ramp. Haha! It was a great night because it felt sooo good to be out after locking myself up inside the house during finals week! Anyway, I'm just glad that I'm officially on term-break mode and that I got good grades! But it's still a bummer that term will resume for me this coming week. KJ ng school namin! Di ko man lang na-feel yung vacay ko! Haha! :)

Will blog about my outfit on the next post! :)

XO.
