What is Cool

I thought Japan and China had the most bizarre and riskiest fashion, now I know that Filipinos can take a lot of risks too, you just have to know where to look for them. Philippine Fashion Week is really a fashion week, here are the snapshots of the people who caught my attention.

Gab, I know you want this ahhaha. Definitely the shoe of the night, so much confidence oozing from the person who wore this.

This is vintageyy

I love the big prints of one of the guy's shirt and the other's short. Something tells me that Donatella Versace's here

Fashion&Comfort at its finest, dress with cuts + barefoot

Took this because of the model, I think he's stylish

:O

I would have to say my eyes keep on going back to this guy since the runway, lovely hair, cool accessories and ohmyholybroccoli look at that print!

l-r Ate Phampy, their friend, Ate Mitch (told you he's sexy! His waistline's 25 :O) and another friend of them (so stunning right? + he looks like a woman!)

I just took a picture of them hahaha

This is how crazy my classmates are, look at that hair color Ate Phampy's sporting!

Backless

Vintagey military coats are timeless!

I love the variety present in this dress, sheer, fringe, appliques..

Taray coat

Was interested in the guy's Versace for H&M jacket, too bad he ran, didn't get a decent picture of him :(

If you want to look like a senorita, frills will never let you down

I love this guy!!! Part of me wants to be his best friend so he could share to me where he gets all those treasure

Not as outlandish as the others but I really love that long lace cardigan

One of the models wearing a lime color dress, so pretty :D

cdbcdcbdcuigdfuagdobcbcsdudcs you da man! Versace sweatshirt, sheer skirt, black tights, boots with wooden heels, bones accessories, ASTIG!!!

Finally finally got the strength to ask pictures of them hahaah. I'm really in love with those creepers.

Sorry if the photos are not a lot and most of them are not faced to me, it's just that some of them are staring at me and the dslr on my hand, it felt like they didn't want to be pictured or like "Who's that?" haha. Anyway, I'm still proud of the amount of guts I had last night, it really paid off hahahhaha. Will try my best tomorrow to take more pictures! :D

Artsy Fartsy

Audrey Hepburn wall canvass

Chic small luggage

Fashion and arts book

Yesterday, my mom and siblings went out to buy groceries, I was left at home waiting for them and for tons of food. It was a surprise that when they got home, they have with them big boxes and heavy plastic bags. Mom told me to check those and I opened the box first, the small luggage inside made me squeak. When my little sister handed me the Audrey Hepburn canvass I was like "aghhhh!" 'cause I wanted a pop art canvass so bad which I saw weeks ago in the department store. Lastly are the books, it was so overwhelming! They're so weighty haha and with every page I turned my jaws dropped, it's just full of art, full of inspirations. 

Realization with that experience, you get lots of interesting things when you don't go with your Mom and siblings in the grocery haha but next time I'll come so that I might get clothes, I'm really in need of minimalist and detailed clothes for the look posts haha :D

Below are scans from the lightest book, Fashion illustration. I didn't risk scanning pages from the other books 'cause the scanner might broke, I know you're not suppose to put a lot of weight on it haha. So enjoy these pictures!

Bianca in Wonderland

A breath-taking work of art in the fashion design part

Can't wait for this to be made!

Elegante (read with a Spanish accent)

I really really really admire the geometry present in that poncho-ish coat

Draping room. 

Salvacion Lim Higgins thus Slim's

Spot the difference

This ensemble will be full of movements when this comes to life

I've been pleading to my mom to buy me a sewing machine but then I'm still clueless when it comes to sewing so she enrolled me in Slim's. I'm extremely happy and thankful for what my mom did, this kind of opportunity doesn't come often. I started the lessons yesterday, and a bodice sloper was accomplished, and I admit it, I was quite proud hehe and am so happy with my attitude towards it.

It was such a beautiful environment, complete with materials, good ventilation, approachable teachers, but most of all, I am surrounded by people who have talent and are as passionate to fashion as me, well some are more passionate hehe and wow the way they dress, it's just such an artsy environment.

4 months are consumed for the preparatory to be finished and obviously, I can't squeeze it to my summer vacation so I'll be going to Slim's everyday this vacation then every Saturday when school starts. Considering that I only started yesterday, there's still so much to learn and I can't wait for it! :)

Superwall

For the past months, decorated walls had dominated over 50% of posts in my tumblr dashboard, every time I see them I think "Oh pretty please can I have your wall?"  It's very obvious how photos and paintings brighten up the whole room when you've got them pasted on your wall, that was the main reason I came up with this + I'll be able to put all the things that inspire me + I'd have a good background whenever vanity attacks me haha. 

What I finished yesterday (taken with instagram)

My wall as of now, I had to put my one love, Daphne <33

l-r Gotye, Lanvin backstage photo, Brooke Fraser, The Beatles, Florence + The Machine logo

Octopus fetish chandelier, painting of Abbey Lee, Baudelaire Siblings (l-r Klaus, Sunny, Violet), Coachella 2012
