Summer in December

          A ray of summer sunshine showed up today, so I thought of going for a quick swim. The weather is acting weird though, one minute the sun is up, then it’s pouring rain. I didn’t enjoy the water that much maybe because it was freezing cold. lol Still it felt like summer in December.

 What I’m wearing: Top (random brand), Acid wash jeans (Levi’s) that I altered into shorts.

 Shades (Forever21), Sneakers (Keds), Bracelets (The Bead Shop)

Conceptual Photography

         My friend had a homework on her Photography class, to be specific a “conceptual photography” and she picked a hair idea, we don’t know what’s it called. So anyway, she needed someone with a long hair to model it for her, so I helped her. And here’s the masterpiece of the forever talented young lady Genevieve Son. I’m so glad to be part of your portfolio, you’re amazing! 

 What I’m wearing: Dress (hongkong brand) care of Genevieve Son. The before and after shot.

Self-timer Shot

Today I went early to school for nothing. Great! Just great! My professors are going to have a faculty meeting the whole day so I went home. Since it’s too early and I have nothing to do, I thought of making my day as productive as possible, ensuring that I have something to blog about at the end of the day. However, there’s no one in the house who could help me take pictures. And because I’m feeling anxious about giving you guys another entry, I tried to take my own photo with a timer. Except I don’t think it gave me better photos. What do you guys think?

 What I’m wearing: Owl Dress (H&M), stockings (Darlington), shoes (Punkberry)

 knit beret hat (bought it from a store in Tagaytay)

It all started with a Blender

        Jamba Juice now in Manila! For those who doesn’t know it yet, Jamba Juice opened last 11/11/11 at The Fort Bonifacio. It is a healthy lifestyle brand that would help children and adults to eat their greens with a twist. They serve fruits and vegetables smoothies, oatmeal, custom-blendable frozen yogurts, and boosts & shots for your smoothies. Me and my cousins tried it yesterday, and it sure is great! Visit them at 7th Avenue corner 29th Avenue South, 1634 Fort Bonifacio. Check out their website here. 

 What we ordered: Strawberry Surf Rider (with whole fruits and nonfat frozen yougurt), Five Fruit Frenzy (all fruit and creamy smoothie), Banana Berry(with whole fruits and nonfat frozen yougurt), and Peach Perfection (all fruit and creamy smoothie)-which I totally loved!

For snacks we had: Spinach ‘n Cheese Wrap, Steel Cut Oatmeal, Parmesan Pretzels, and Cheddar Tomato Twists.

THE ULTIMATUM

         
           Last Monday November 14, 2011 I had the chance to see David Guison, he had a talk at UST for the CFAD week (The Ultimatum). He gave us a lot of information about fashion blogging, food blogging, photography and some other stuff. And I enjoyed every single minute of his presentation, he was amazing and hilarious! I’m so happy to be there and I really learned a lot from him. You can check his blog here.

A Skirt to Kill

           This is what happens when creativity attacks. Who knew a very long horrible dress would turn into a chic skirt? Well, at first I thought this dress was hopeless but voila with a little bit of cutting, sewing, and altering I came up with this fab skirt!
