Shooting at Sirao Peak with John Ong

Posted on by

SUPPERRR LATE POST but still one of my favorite shoots to date. John Ong is always such a joy to work with and I always look forward to shooting with him. I think it took me 2 years to post this because I was saving it for something special and profound but I guess I just never got around to writing something of the nature. So here you go instead- two years late but still as beautiful as ever.

P.S. I lost this dress literally right after wearing it. I want it back, it was beautiful!

On Wednesday’s We Wear Pink (Mean Girls Tribute)

On Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018, wasn’t a holiday but it might as well had been. Women and men all over the world paid homage to the movie Mean Girls, which is all know is a totally fetch movie.

Seriously, if you don’t know what I’m talking about you can’t sit with us.

All puns aside, I decided to play along to the tribute and deck myself out in a pink ensemble because we all know that “On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink.”

It was honestly quite fun to be able to dress up in theme and it was even more fun to see hundred and thousands of people on social media join in on the fun. While I doubt Regina George would have ever let me sit with them in this ensemble, I’m still glad I got to wear something that was pink yet was still a good reflection of who I am and my style.

Obviously I’m not a huge girly- girl but I like the think that I get to be more adventurous with my fashion options that way 😉

Til the next,

International Podcast Day 2018 & My ZeroThreeTwo OOTD

On the day that I represented the Philippines for the second time for International Podcast Day, I wanted to make sure that I represented the Philippines well and in something that I could actually be proud of.

Gone are the days of tacky, neon colored touristy shirts for me- my Zero Three Two t-shirt was a simple, yet catchy homage to our culture. I mean, come on, name one true blue Cebuano who wouldn’t be able to recognize the Veco logo?

While most of the people who were watching the segment from all around the world had no clue of what my shirt mean, ZERO THREE TWO is in fact our local area code while the type face is our local electricity providers logo.

It was an honor to represent the Philippines again! I hope you enjoyed my session and that it inspired and/ or taught you a little something when it comes to podcasting.

I do intend to return to creating podcasts for everyone but maybe I’ll do it sometime after the wedding. There’s just so much on my plate right now- I know you’ll all understand 🙂

Mabuhay,

Cebu Fashion Bloggers Celebrates with Shangrila, Mactan

I’ve been extremely blessed to have surrounded myself with a good bunch of friends throughout my blogging career. While I started blogging way back in 2004, it wasn’t until sometime in 2012 that I actually started taking blogging seriously and in a more “professional” direction. I quickly joined Cebu Fashion Bloggers after going more public and I’ve been a member since.

Many, many years later here we are still celebrating our friendship and what a lovely celebration it was having Shangrila make the occasion more momentous!

It was indeed a night filled with fashion, laughter, great ambiance and amazing food as the city’s top hotel & resort graced us with miles of freshly caught and lavishly prepared seafood. Not to mention, the set up that the staff had prepared for us truly whisked us away and left us enchanted- it was as if we were in a completely different city!

Thank you Cebu Fashion Bloggers for many wonderful years of events, friendship and adventures & thank you Shangrila for creating the perfect backdrop for a wonderful night that we will all truly remember!

What I Wore To Influencity: A Social Media Influencers’ Fair + Judging My Own Outfits

Posted on by
Reply

I wonder if people on the online world still consider me as a fashion blogger considering that my content has been so diverse, even I don’t really know what to consider myself these days! But fashion has always been something I’ve loved despite feeling so restricted by it. I live in a tropical country and I live for layers & coats- you do the math. -_- but fashion, food, travel or whatever else in between, it was an honor to be invited to Influencity’s first run!

Influencity is a 2-day lifestyle bazaar created to bring together style bloggers, beauty gurus and social media influencers all in one event. It aims to provide an avenue for influencer-follower interaction, promote partner brands and present collaborative work opportunities between influencers and brands. Furthermore, Influencity aims to bolster camaraderie among influencers from different blogging groups and social media platforms.

For this event, I wanted to be somewhat chic but comfortable at the same time but I often find myself looking back at my fashion choices and asking myself why I decided to leave the house looking like that. I’m over critical, it’s in my blood but I often wait til the last minutes to do so.

In retrospect, I would’ve worn a different, form fitting top instead of this lazy white round neck shirt. I feel like I’m not giving my body that much of a silhouette with the baggy blazer & baggy shirt which is probably why these photos never made it on my Instagram. Oiii, Instagram consciousssss. lol.

But my heels are the best. I need more outfits in these heels. I love these heels!
