2010 HIGHLIGHTS

2010 has been a great year for me (I hope everyone else had a good one too!). I am really this in love with fashion, clothes, photography and modelling. As I was looking how the year has been for me, I was so grateful to see that somehow I'm learning so much from the things I do. So just before I welcome a more awesome 2011, I want to do a recap of whatever I experienced this year!

1. Krizia Reamico Photography - Krizia is an excellent young photographer! I couldn't say anything bad about her. She knows how to do her work and really cares for her model so well. Late this year, we had a photoshoot, in preparation for my Samsung experience. Definitely one of the best I had!

2. Yan Ramirez Photography - Yan is my college blockmate during first year. I started with her and so I am so happy how well it continues. She's such a talented girl!

3. UST Cuties - I am so grateful to actually be included in the list!

4. The Button Owl - My happiness can't be explained when I was asked to be the Week's Guest Model for this famous blog! I really love her site and being a part of it is such an honor! :">

5. SAMSUNG X F21 ALTER EGO IN THE METRO - REALLY THIS MADE MY 2010 MEMORABLE! I've never done anything 'big' like this! I am so happy and grateful that they have invited me to do this. :'>

I'm not really bragging here or anything. I am really just so grateful of everything! Life's really awesome isn't? :) I can't wait for all the possibilities and oppurtunities waiting for me this 2011! May we all be grateful of what we have. Cheers lovelys!

THE BROWN BAG

THE BROWN BAG

If you'd ask me what was my first obsession, I would say that BAG IS MY FIRST LOVE. No doubt with that. Since I was 3, everytime I go to the mall or abroad, I will surely have a new bag (or more!) with me when I return back home. I'm really a shopaholic at birth. I remember collecting a Hello Kitty Luggage in Pink, buying a set at HK when I was 6! Oh I love!

Right now, I'm currently into brown bags. I have a great feeling of having it as my default bag for the coming 2011. I'm used to having black colored bags. I still love them. But definitely brown bags will keep me (and my stuff) company this coming year! Hooray! I actually got one as Christmas present and I'd probably go buy one (or maybe all) of my picks here which can be found in Forever 21! So excited to go shopping!

Last Thursday of the year 2010! Are you guys already writing your annual New Year's Resolution? :)

Looking forward for a great year ahead!!!

ZAC POSEN PRE-FALL 2010

ZAC POSEN PRE-FALL 2010

Zac Posen - SOMEONE SO YOUNG YET SO AWESOME! I remember knowing him years back. I was like, who's that? Then saw his works and fall in love with them the minute I saw it! Definitely one of my favorite designer. I am so in love with his Pre-fall 2010 Collection. Here are some of my picks! ;)

A BLUE BOX

Who doesn't love them? I'm 19 turning 20 this coming year and I don't know why only now I realized how much joy these Tiffany will bring me! Thanks to The Blonde Salad (hopefully I'll be able to do a Tiffany & Co. Collection post this 2011!) I am now totally hooked with this! I want them so badly! But there's no Tiffany & Co. here in my country though. Good thing I will be able to get these still through my mom and relatives there in the US! Here are some that I want to get my hands on to this 2011! They are the less expensive ones since I'm still studying and living in an allowance. You'll never know how happy I will be seeing a blue box!

Here are some of the things I like! All of them I only bought this last quarter of the year. These things makes me happy:

1. Boater's hat - I bought for my solo trip to Cebu City last November. I loved it ever since!

2. Parisian Black Pumps - one of the latest addition to my growing collection of shoes. I am so in love with this one. It's so sexy! And very inexpensive.

3. Trunkshow Brogues - this is my first flat shoes I bought with my own money. I never really buy flats for myself. But eversince I met 'Brogues', it changed my life forever. So stylish yet so comfy!

4. Forever 21 Black Leather Chain Bag - my side-kick. I use this everyday of my life since I bought it on the opening of Forever 21 here in Manila. Adorbs!

5. Janilyn flats - it has warmers in it and it's gray. So cutie patootie! I love this. One of my latest buys.

Been trying to train myself more on photography (What do you think?) to prepare for the coming of new babies (new gadgets) this January and April! I can't wait for them to come! Yay! Have a good day lovelys!

SHORTY AND EVERYTHING

It's been a relaxing vacation for me. I love the weather here at our place. Random photos that I saw online (Tumblr,etc.) except for the last one which is a photo of mine taken by a good friend Yan Ramirez. Hope everyone's having a good one too!

BALMAIN SPRING 2011 COLLECTION

I love the BALMAIN RTW SPRING 2011 collection so much! Very wearable. As for me, you can definitely spot me this 2011 wearing clothes that are inspired by this collection. Cover-up with top/polo and shorts combo works for me! Here are some of my favorites:

OH. I JUST LOVE. You go click on the Balmain Spring 2011 Collection to see the rest of this sort of awesomeness! Cheers!

SAMSUNG X FOREVER 21: ALTER EGO IN THE METRO

SAMSUNG launched it's newest baby: SAMSUNG PUNCH! Luckily, I was part of the said event! I am so grateful to do it since it was my first time to do a runway! It happened last Dec. 3,2010 at SM Mega Mall Atrium. It was sort of 'Project Runway' theme composing of a female model (IT girls of famous Universities here in Manila), male model (male celebrities), stylist (blogger), and a media person (publications) who'll explain the look. It was a big success! So here are some of the photos taken by my friend Kevin:

Team Ateneo won, but definitely all of us are winners! New experience, new friends! I can't wait for more great things to come! Thank you so much again Nicole for inviting me here!
