Prince of Pop
Friend of Mine AW 2012 Collection
This is when the heavens open up and the angels sing.
And red patent and black together? Definitely screams Michael Jackson to me!
(Speaking of, the Glee tribute episode for the Prince of Pop was spectacular!)

A Single Man
A Single Man (2011) stars the greatest actors in the world, lead by the Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and was produced by the iconic Tom Ford. Blame it to him (The Man who saved Gucci), costume designer Arianne Phillips and production design Dan Bishop for the perfect ambiance given to the audience in this film.
Colin Firth is always amazing in his films but his portrayal as a depressed gay...

I pledge to read the printed word
I love books. From the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games trilogy to Edgar Allan Poe’s compilation of short stories, Jane Austen novels, I love reading to the extent that I’m now (and I assume forever) wearing eye glasses.

'Tis the Season!
I don’t have much updates, I’ve been enjoying my time doing nothing. So here are some photos from a while back for Stache taken by the amazing Pat Nabong just to post a little something something.
Weeeeell, I’m not entirely doing nothing.
Graduation ball and prom season are finally here so I might be a bit busy! It’s been around 2 years since I got out of high school...

Proud Race - Spring Summer 2012
A cult to represent everything that they believed in and loved from their youth. It is a collection of restrained recklessness and go-to-uniforms of anyone who wants to be part of their gang. - Not Just a Label
I know. This is the shit collection must be the best.
Another amazing collection by duo behind the geeeenius Proud Race.

White Lady
Vogue Australia February 2012
Photographer: Nicole Bentley
Fashion Editor: Meg Gray
Model: Marloes Horst
Ever since I saw Rihanna’s white ensemble (against her amazing skin and hair) last year, I’ve been in love with everything white. And this editorial just solidifies it.
My love for billowy, huge skirts is getting intense by the moment, too.

Typical Acne
Acne Resort 2012 … and they did it again.
I’m a sucker for crisp white button downs and any over sized clothing. And Acne just made me fall in love again!
I am still under the spell of their monotonous, minimal staples and the generous pop of color just adds the perfect amount of spunk to shake things up a little bit for the minimal approach they always deliver.

Unforgivable
If our climate’s a bit colder, I might, just might, wear fur everyday. Faux fur that is.
You might have heard a lot of things about animal violence around the globe, but lately here in the Philippines, it has been a rampant from the torture videos you’ve seen online to the recent discovery of bulldog fights in the North.
And to make a stand, together with photographer Miguel...

6 Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay
Hi I’m Lilia Cuntapay
A fresh movie in the sea of all these generic local films. Thank you, Philippine Cinema and please, we want more.
I was reading reviews over at Pelikula when I came across this interesting article by Don Jaucian about 6 Degrees, a CinemaOne Originals 2011 entry.
6 Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay is a movie directed by Tonette Jadaone and starring, of...

Let it snow
SM Department Store’s Ladies section just keeps on getting better and better pieces! All these white ensembles from last Fashion Week’s SM Ladies show are so in the holiday season. Too bad I can’t wear that faux fur here.

One for the books
If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you’d realize that I’m a big fan of books. From coffee table books to regency novels to series, I love them all! So when I received an email about these hosts-slash-models-slash-writers-slash-everything, Sarah Meier and Vicky Hererra’s new book; I was over my head.
For me, this is pretty much a local counterpart of Mary...

Just around the corner
How dope is that poster.
Status Magazine is holding another one of their famous Yard Sales! The last time, I was itching to go there, I have proof, check my tweets that day; to try my luck with those analog Casio watches everyone had been raving on Twitter (unfortunately, I wasn’t able to drop by).
This time, I just can’t miss it and have to go (uhm, hello ‘rents) because...

Grunge
Battered, beaten and bling.
I own a black shirt, more or less it looks like this, beaten and has some holes on it. My mom and dad even bribed me to let it go. But lo and behold, I might wear it tomorrow. There’s something about beaten up clothes that appeals to me.

Please don’t get bored, female earthlings. This is my intake on Men’s fashion, again.
Shoes are the final piece we put on when dressing up, from there you can say it’s the most important and most thought of piece. It will, cliche it may sound, either make or break your whole look.
I mean, come on… will you wear a pair of flip flops with your pretty YSL pant suit...

Gimme Ronald McDonald's hair
I seriously want red hair, especially those feiry ones like Grace Coddington’s or even Taylor Tomasi-Hill’s. Too bad, I can’t pull it of or rather I don’t have the guts to try it out. Hahaha! “Everyone has good taste, some people are just scared to be creative.” - Bill Cunningham

I’d be Mark Ronson. No doubt about it.
Well I can’t pull off a blond hair like that, but everything the colors, the prints and the shoes are pretty much me. And who wouldn’t date Tennesee Thomas of The Like?
I have a weird obsession for men’s clothes.
Maybe the obsession started when I decided to go through my brother’s closet that one time when I told...

This opening presentation video for TEDxAustin is super fresh.
So inspired to keep pushing creative boundaries here in Manila. To somehow acclimate the entire Philippine population to expect, enjoy, and even demand less literal images, concepts, and messages in media and advertising.
All part of our “little” husband-and-wife quest to redefine the Filipino dream. Borrowing from the...

Dunk
Currently lusting over those pair of white dunks. So basically, I’m already building my Christmas wishlist aaand my Christmas outfit = all white!
This Nike “White Ice” dunks is the perfect pair. (via Hypebeast) How cool is that ice blue outsole? And fact#68313213 about me: I love everything in patent. Even if its white, so there’s no question I want those babies.

I am proud to boast, for a young girl of my age with such limited cash flow, that I have an amazing collection of coffeetable books care of BookSale and all those cheap books on sale stores. My favorite is a Geoffrey Beene coffeetable book and is probably the best book I got for a really reasonable price. And my Prom book is one of my favorites as well!

I feel (more of think really) that I’m going to grow up like Mr. Cunningham right here. I mean, who doesn’t want to live a life doing what you love and live for? You don’t have to depend your happiness to anyone. It’s all up to you. You can make your life happy if you want to,...

Mood board
Will go back to BookSale before going to school tomorrow. Hopefully, that Grunge coffeetable book stuck on my head will still be there. The book is haunting me when I get it, I’ll show you. It’s amazing, the last pages were filled with photos of Nirvana (and I guess some 90s punk bands I don’t really know) and couple photos of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain.

Dressing up is fun. Crappy webcam photo of an outfit months ago.
So some might have noticed, this blog has been updated like never before. Well, I’ve got more time and less parental guidance (hi nay haha) ever since I’ve been staying again in Greenhills. Less travel time to school, more time to do useless things (catch up with How I Met Your Mother, New Girl and Big Bang Theory)...

Ciao! Manhatan excerpt I discovered Edie Sedgwick when I was in high school. I saw a pretty tragic little movie called ‘Factory Girl’ (2006), starring Sienna Miller as the artistic socialite turned Andy Warhol experiment and James Franco as the soulful Bob Dylan.
