I was honestly not expecting to go to this year's Preview Ball that is why when I received a direct message from StyleBible on Twitter, I was surprised. I had mixed emotions because I am a big fan of Preview Magazine ever since and I always admire their anniversary issues but also I have no idea on what to wear since the theme of this year's best dressed ball is Skin City (eeep!)

Since I was only going to watch one show this season, I decided to wear something simple. A basic black top I got for free from Cache Cache (with a minimum of P1000 purchase) and a cute bird print skirt (which I borrowed from my sister) from the SM Store. I also used the recent pastel mint green clutch I bought from the SM Store. I love it to death! I wish they sell the clutch in other dainty pastel colors also :)

                 I can still remember the first time I've experienced Philippine Fashion Week back in 2009. My sister and I volunteered to Runway Productions. So, our first experience of the fashion week here in Manila is a bit overwhelming. We had access backstage and the like. It was a fun and memorable experience! Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2009 to Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2013... oh how time flies.

First, I want to congratulate everyone who graduated this year! Enjoy the next chapter of your lives. Especially to my sister, Say! ☺

The title has nothing to do with this blog entry haha ☺ I am just currently listening to All Time Low's song - The Reckless and The Brave. If you're not familiar with them (whyyy?!) check them out! They had a concert here in Manila back in 2011. It was probably the most epic concert I have ever been to. Anyway, I recently bought the sunnies that I am wearing from Onymous! I really love everything they are selling. They have a lot of variations of sunnies and even phone cases! If I have an iPhone, I would seriously buy my cases there ☺ If you want to own very stylish iPhone cases/stylish sunnies, please do check out Onymous!

I totally love our college shirt! For those of you who don't know -- I am a CFAD-Advertising Arts student at the University of Santo Tomas. It is amazing to be surrounded by talented people. It's definitely easy to get inspiration the moment you walk in our little environment (Beato Angelico building near the UST Grandstand). Back in highschool, I think I only had one classmate who loves sketching/doodling like me! So entering college filled with people who loves drawing nonstop is very exciting!

Cheers, It's 2013! I bet you all had a great time during the holidays ☺ New Year's Ever is definitely my favorite holiday. I always look forward to that day and I get giddy welcoming the new year especially when the clock strikes twelve. I also love watching CNN during the first day of January because of the live coverage of the New Year's Eve in New York with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin! Being in Times Square for New Year's Eve is the ultimate goal I want to achieve in the future.

On the sixth day of Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013, I wore something different. I layered a black tank top with a sheer mint top and even layered it with a black cardigan. For the bottom area, I wore my favorite high waist denim shorts and black tights. I love going to these kind of events because you're free to wear anything you want. People will judge, but let them judge all they want. Just flaunt what you wear and be yourself. See you all next season! :)

I think I've overused this skirt already! Haha :) The cute blue skirt I'm wearing is from Jellybean. I love Jellybean! I remember last year, I went to Jellybean to buy an entire outfit (yup, including this skirt) for our graduation photo shoot. Freaking love all of their clothes! It's all so dainty, chic and very wearable anywhere! Plus, the prices of their clothes are very student friendly :) The shoes I wore to the fourth day of fashion week is also very memorable since I wore them to my graduation months ago ☺ Ahh, the memories.

Taylor Swift's new album Red inspired me to wear red on the second day of fashion week. If you haven't heard anything from her album yet, go check it out! My personal favorites from the album are: All Too Well, I Almost Do, State of Grace, Red, Everything Has Changed, 22, and Begin Again. Check out Taylor's Begin Again music video below ☺

I usually wear something black during concerts since people won't really notice your outfit since the venue is going to be dark. I wore heels for the first time in a concert because the concert was just one big massive pit, no sections and the like. I experienced Katy Perry's concert back in 2009 and in most of the part of the concert I just saw the head of the person in front of me. It was so lame, I didn't want that to happen again, so I challenged myself and wore these shoes.

I attended the second day of Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012 :) Years ago, I usually shop for clothes just for these kinds of events. But for practicality, I just mixed and matched some of my clothes and just added some accessories! I painted my nails with my sister's Model's Own nail polish in Bubblegum! Such a cute vibrant neon pink color.
