E-Fashion Walk Season 2
Styled my brother for the second time around for La Salle College- Antipolo E-Fashion Walk Season 2. E stands for Eco, which is the theme of the show. They were given a task to style their own with at least one Eco Accessory. Other than that, they have to incorporate another theme assigned to them according to year level. Since my brother is in his 1st year, the given theme for the freshmen was Rain and Shine. It took me time to think what it would looked like. Glad we were able to pull off an outfit from our last minute shopping. Yey!
Cover up - Oxygen
Customized Tee by yours truly. I was inspired by the movie Pitch Perfect. If you’re familiar with the movie, you’ll know why. :)
Cuff - SM Accessories
Pants - Tomato
Combat Shoes - Rusty Lopez
And for his Eco Accessory, I used an eco take out bag from my previous employer and turned it into a back pack.
I personally love the color combination and I’m pretty sure that this outfit is perfect for Rain and/or Shine. :)
What do you guys think? :)
In the Navy
Day two in Cebu! I was inspired by the song “In the Navy” by Village People and lucky me, I was able to score an outfit from my last minute shopping. :)
Since my lil brother’s not around, I took my own photos for my mandatory ootd (haha! kidding). And because I don’t have a tripod with me, a mirror shots work well in this kind of situation (am I right?lol).
Please excuse my big face. :))
Practice lang. :P
Fedora Hat - SM Accessories
Mini Satchel Bag - SM Parisian Shoes and Bags
Top and Short - St. Francis Square
It was my first time to shop at St. Francis, and I’m actually amazed. There are a lot of good stuff especially for girls. Clothes are very affordable but with quality. Perfect for budgeted fashionista-wanna-be like me. hihi. :)
Shoes - Cinderella
Camera used - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50
Taken at - Crown Regency Hotels and Resorts, Cebu, City
Bloggers United 4 (Day 2)
Day 2 of Bloggers United 4 last December 16, 2012. It was a gloomy day but still, it didn’t stop us from going. Unfortunately, only few bloggers were left and they only have few clothes/ stuff to sell. Good thing I was able to score some beautiful items at a very good price. Thanks to my blogger friends Maricar and Are for a fun (bazaar) shopping experience!
Anyway, here are some photos with Philippines’ top fashion bloggers.
With The Walking Recessionista, Cheyser Pedregosa.
With Cheyser’s friend all the way from Davao.
With Style is Eternal, Dani Barretto.
With Paul the PR Guy, Paul Chuapoco.
With Gold Dot’s Designer/ Inkarlcerating, Karl Leuterio and Paul Highness, Paul Jatayna.
And last but definitely not the least, the sweetest couple, my fashion icons, (my ate and kuya in the fashion/ blogging industry) Lovechic’s Seph Cham and Shai Lagarde. <3
With Maricar. :)
The friendliest eco (shopping) bag! AHAHAHA!

Liebster Award
First of all, I would like to thank the sweetest bee/ my forever event partner and friend, Maria of www.imavintagebee.blogspot.com for giving me this award. (Parang Best Actress ang feeling! chos!) If I’m not mistaken, Liebster Award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers to gain more. But I don’t really mind giving this to anyone coz I know the next 11 people I’ll tag deserve more followers. Agree? :)
The Rules:
1. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.
2. Answer all the questions the tagger has set for you, then create another 11 questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.
3. Choose 11 bloggers and link them in your post.
4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.
5. No tag back!
11 Random Facts About Me:
- I’m a consistent honor student from Pre-School to First Year High School
- Graduated from ISCAHM (
a Culinary School in Quezon, City) with flying colors. HAHAHA. - I love ribbons!
- Fell in love at the age of 12. (oops!)
- I love teddy bears! They’re so cute!
- My hair is my precious. (I already tried different hair styles and hair colors.)
- I over-eat when I’m sad and I also over-eat when I’m happy. AHAHAHA!
- I’m an impulsive shopper.
- I now have more than 30 pairs of shoes.
- We have a small family business, named after me.
- I dreamed of being a doctor. But I didn’t push through because it’s kinda expensive. And I’m kinda afraid of blood. :P
My Answers from Maria’s Questions:
1. If you could change your name, what would it be?
I like my name but it’s pretty common. If I could, then it would be Chloe or Chesca. Sounds sosyal! hihi.
2. What’s your favorite lyrics from your favorite song?
Basta Ikaw, Ako. Tayo..Magpakailanman. <3 (Ikaw at Ako by Johnoy Danao)
3. What would be the food that you can eat every single day for the rest of your life?
Japanese Sweet Corn!
4. Adele or Katy Perry? Why?
I’m torn! I love both of them. But I choose, Katy Perry.
5. What’s the best thing about blogging?
Blog/ blogging is a different world for me. Some of my friends didn’t quite understand but I’m so happy that through blogging, I gain new friends with the same interest. I think we all have the same reasons why we blog, and that is to inspire people and see things differently in a positive way. Best thing about it is, when your readers appreciate what you’ve been working hard on, and having this blogger-reader relationship. It’s priceless!
6. Where is your dream vacation?
Paris, France. No further explanation.
7. Would you rather fly up in the clouds, or swim under the sea?
I would rather fly up than swim under. I have this slight fear of water because I almost drowned when I was in 3rd year high school. Good thing, the life guard saved me!
8. Who is your closest blogger friend?
This is a tough one. Feeling close kase ako. hahaha! Maria (I mean you,haha) and Are are my top choice. I think I can spend every single day with them. Chikahan todamax! LOL.
9. What is your dream closet must have?
1. Shoes 2. Clothes 3. Bags 4. Accessories
10. Classic or trendy?
Classic and basic. You can never go wrong with it.

A good night’s sleep!
