The Style Prodigy DIY: Faux Fur Coat

I’ve been a big fan of watching DIY tutorial videos on YouTube and always thought and daydreamed of creating those kinds of videos myself. Weeks ago, I finally had time to film and edit; so, before the year ends I can fulfill one of my goals. This is my first ever DIY tutorial on my YouTube channel and hopefully not the last! I have a notebook filled with future DIY video ideas and I really hope I’ll accomplish them all :)

Recently, our block planned a Christmas costume party and I honestly had no idea what to wear. I really wanted a Scream Queens-inspired costume (I am so obsessed with the show!!!) but I find these faux fur coats from H&M, Zara and the like really expensive. To think that I’ll just wear the faux fur coat during the party, I really don’t want to spend thousands for it.

The Art Diary Series - Episode 6 - Martine Cajucom x Boom Sason

Another day, another artwork. This is the first fashion illustration that I posted for The Art Diary Series. Honestly, I would always have a hard time with fashion illustration mainly because I still have no idea what my art style is. I don't even have the proper art materials. I just use random sabog brushes that I see here at home. I really hope before the year ends, I'll finally have an aesthetic for all of my artworks. I want to produce artworks wherein people would know that I made them. Hope you enjoy episode 6 xx

ALLURE: The Marsala et Chroma Fashion Show

When I applied at the University of Santo Tomas, I picked my course by just simply reading the "career options" area at the description. Creative director, art director, photographer, graphic designer, painter, and fashion designer to name a few were some of the career options listed at the Advertising Arts department. I was very ecstatic to see 'fashion designer' in the list of opportunities because ever since I was 10, I really dreamt of becoming one. When I got accepted and experienced the life of a freshman CFAD student, I wanted to experience taking electives already. I was really impressed with the higher batches especially when they exhibit their works at the Beato Gallery.

Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear

Casually browsing my Facebook timeline and saw British Vogue's update on Milan Fashion Week. They already posted an album of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection, and the clothes literally took my breath away. I love how detailed the pieces are and how the clothes mold the female figure perfectly. I honestly would really love to meet Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in the future. Check out the fabulous pieces under the cut.

#SkinCity: Preview Best Dressed Ball 2014

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!)

What I Wore: Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2014

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 :)

Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2014

It’s always exciting seeing the creations of local designers here in the Philippines. It makes me feel even more inspired to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a designer myself. I have a long way to go but I will truly work hard to achieve my dream. This year, I had an opportunity to experience Philippine Fashion Week again. I’ve been going ever since 2009. One day, hopefully I will go there as a designer (fingers crossed!)

Sunnies by Charlie – Sunnies Station Opening (October 24, 2013)

Sunnies by Charlie – Sunnies Station Opening (October 24, 2013) The moment I saw the announcement that Sunnies by Charlie will have a kiosk opening at the SM Mall of Asia, I totally freaked out and contacted my friends. We were so happy since the kiosk opening will occur during our semestral break (no conflict with the class schedule & the like). Whenever I go to the mall, I always admire the store Charlie since they sell practical yet chic clothes and the sunnies they are selling were really eye-catching since the design are very unique. That is why I got so excited about Sunnies by Charlie.

Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2013 - Michael Cinco

I always get excited to check the Philippine Fashion Week schedules online because I want to know i Michael Cinco will be flaunting his creations again. I am in love with everything Michael Cinco makes. I get jealous of the models since they get to be wrapped in the amazing creations of Michael Cinco and get paid for it!

What I Wore: Day One of Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2013

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.

What I Wore: Wanderland Music Festival 2013

The moment I knew I was going to Wanderland, I got very excited to search for outfits perfect for a music festival. The weather here in the Philippines is a bit bipolar... you can wake up to a very sunny morning to a very stormy afternoon. So, I played safe and wore a dress. My first choice was a black version of this mesh skater dress from Tomato but I think white is more suitable for the music festival like Wanderland.
