Vide"OK"e

Had a wonderful Sunday night with my best friends!!! It was agreed that we are going to do a "videoke" night...although I have this insane phobia in singing in public (due to bad childhood experience) I figured I will just eat food and not sing at all...haha. :D
(L-R) Kae, Jackie and me (Yen, taking the photo)...ABSENT: Shelly!!!
Of course, I just had to work even on Sundays. Kae was my first customer who ordered MTO shoes. This is it...pretty right???
Yummy roasted chicken...the rest of our food...well not so good
Potato wedges with the most acceptable sour cream dip
Try not to dip your Nachos...their dip was awful....lol
I thought this was Calamares...failed...Onion rings
Singing time!!! Jackie really sounds excellent. Practicing a "wedding song".
Yen...loves alternative songs. He is good at it ;D
Kae also has a wonderful voice. Go!!! Go!!! Go!!!
We stayed for a good 2-4 hours. Honestly I was so "bitin" because I think we arrived late. I got lost looking for the place. Haha. NOTE: If you would like to ask if I sing or where is my photo singing...well the Answer: I did "sing"...just imagine Anne Curtis. Haha and I deleted any photos of me singing. I don't look so good. Ahehe.

Oh well...at least I had so much fun. How about you guys???

Till next time!!!
 

Behind-the-Scenes
Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012

After every Fashion Week, I have a segment I would like to call "Behind-the-scenes" of a SHOPAHOLIC MONSTER (Chos...feeling celebrity) and I would be posting this as my last blog to conclude my post for PhFW...however I will change things up a bit this season, since it would take me a gazillion years to finish everything again.

I would like to share photos I have gathered; in the RUNWAY, in the HALLWAY, with FRIENDS, with IDOLS (Yes...). Just a little warning though...HUGE PHOTO DUMP AHEAD!!! :D

I really...really missed Philippine Fashion Week as I have mentioned previously I opted for a Viking Buffet Dinner over watching the finale shows...(normally I would go for fashion over food but it is my best friend's birthday) so I kinda have the "bitin" feeling and would definitely make "bawi" next season. In fact, I already have inspirations for my next seasons look.

Anywho...enjoy the photos!!!

NOTE: I still have a lot of Designer Collection Posts...stay tuned!!!
Fanny Serrano's show stood out for me the most due to the use of "traditional  materials in a non-traditional way."
Cherry Veric's work has a lot of "pasabog!!!"
Of chors!!! I have to inject these....uuhhmm...well toned models from the ESAC show.
"Pwede ka ng maglaba!!! LOL"
Runway accident: Nice flowing dress however was upstage by a "nip-slip"  (good model was wearing that thingy)
"tubig...!!!" (Chos) :D
Outfit Post...of course we just have to take LookBook shots.
PhFW Day 3: Print on Print
Me: "Lion Tamer"
Yen: "Flower Power"
PhFW Day 4: Blue's Clue or "The Magician and the Assistant" :D
Me: "Blue Ranger"
Yen: "Tuxedo Mask...(daw)"
PhFW Day 5: Ashes to Dust
Me: "Black"
Yen: "Army-inspired"
Of course I have to take photos of wonderful shoes that I have seen during Philippine Fashion Week. Here we have THE RED PUMPS...chos...it is Kermit's Red Pumps with Skull Heels
Kermit's Horse Shoe
Looks "amazingly-painful" I think the platforms and heels were made of metal
Used my "ninja skills" to take this shot...and to find out in FB that this is Nereku's design. A different take on heeless craze.
2 must-have shoes for Manila's Fashionisto: Heeless/ Wedge
or Creepers.
Philippine Fashion Week is also the perfect venue to bump into your friends and colleagues...say "Hi" and do power catch-up. Here we have Matt Valeriano who owns ANONYMITY and designed the reversible hoodies that he and his gang are wearing. :D
Shoe Legend and now TV host Brian Tenorio. He saw us "posing" for our LookBook shots. Ahehe. It was nice seeing you. :D
(L-R) Yekki, Karl, Me, Gelo and Mike
"Paparazzi" bit...saw D + V to give support to Veejay Floresca
SUPER HIGHLIGHT of my Fashion Week. Personally meeting and having my photo taken with Mother D!!! When I saw her, I was the first one who said, "Hello!!!" and (wala ng hiya-hiya) requested for photo to be taken with them. Just not my best angle though...I feel so ugly beside her. She is so pretty and super humble...just like in her blogs. Next time promise, "I will hug you Mother!!!" :D... V Took an outfit photo of Yen and I was supposed to go next but the crowd when ballistic (chos) afterwards :D
Super "Pasyon" people. Nice seeing you guys there. :D (L-R) blank (sorry I wasn't able to get her name), Mark Crawford, Daryl and Anna
with Jonver
I am watching shows to show support to my designer friends. (L-R) Chris Diaz, Lizanne Cua and Me. Will post their collection soon.
(L-R) Cherry Veric, me, BFF Sherry and Joana
with Chris Diaz
good friends Sherry and Joana
Now I am "hypnotizing" you to buy shoes from THE RED PUMPS...(Chos...may commercial)

Whoaaaa....too many photos...even for myself. LOL. I hope you guys had fun last PhFW as I did. Hope to see you guys next season!!!

:D

Mullet Buttondown in Neon Mix Animal Print: R-Squared Design (www.theredpumps.com)
Tailored Pants: Tailored
Lace-up Boots: Vintage
Leopard Print Bowtie: TPE
Top Hat: Yen's
Animal Rings: collected

Philippine Fashion Week has just ended last Sunday...I don't know where to begin my Philippine Fashion Week posts...and I am pretty sure that it will take me months to complete everything (juggling time with work, errands etc) So I decided to upload the easiest first, my outfit for the Holiday 2012 of PhFW.

This is what I wore to the first shows that we have attended and in reality it is already DAY 3. (guilty...I have to see the result of AI first before I enjoyed PhFW)

I am so glad that this is my 1st outfit. I am proud to say that my Neon Mix Animal Print Mullet Buttondown is my design. We were lucky enough to spot this gorge fabric (and for me, it resembles the collab of Versace x HnM) These mullet buttondown comes in different color and print...(which I have wore all throughout PhFW) and will be sold soon at our online shop at www.theredpumps.com

The happiest part of the day was, I had so much positive feedback from friends and people I just met at PhFW. I felt like I was a VIP...hehe. Anyways I hope you guys like my look. I will be posting my other looks soon.

Hope you like it. :D
