McDo Girls Baby

Me not blogging for a week was spent very unproductively (just the way I like it)--I read 4 chick lit e-books and one actual book while trying to stay on top of school work. Plus, my sister took the camera with her on her 5-day trip to Iligan for a contest (she won, btw so yaaay!). I must admit, I really was getting guilty for not updating my blog. I don't want to get into the habit of not blogging, but I was really uninspired the past week. I don't want to churn out useless entries so I lay low for a bit, tried to get inspiration. I mean, I really appreciate everyone taking time to visit my site, so why waste your visit with half-hearted entries right? I feel that this is Step One to pouring myself wholly into this blog. :)

Last Sunday, McDonald's invited me and my fellow Bloggers from the South to Cheyser's blow-out for her readers! We had a dandy time. We played 2 parlor games (So funny cause everyone was dressed up!) and had giveaways like a children's party! And after, we had cheeseburger, spaghetti, fries and sundae! 

McDo really is the ultimate barkada place. I remember talking with my friends there during high school, staying up late there during brainstorming sessions (2nd year ChE 26/106 days), waiting for the sun to rise there with my friends (can anybody say after-party tambayan?) and bonding over McDonald's with my roommate Heidi (we were such pigs then. I think it was the perfect place for Cheyser's bonding time with her readers. It was also the perfect venue for us to catch up. If our wacky photos up there aren't enough evidence of how long we haven't seen each other, then I don't know what else to say! :)) Props to Steph who is always best in attendance--she came straight from duty. Last time she went out, she came from her review class.

The photos remind me of The It Girls "Call Me Maybe" screen shots. How I (and my fellow bloggers would agree too, I bet) wish we could be rich, gorgeous and perfect too! Still, despite that, I think that irregardless of our difference in finances, looks and states in life, both our groups and our friendships are based on the same things. :)

Last Saturday, we attended the Style Origin High Street Fashion Show at Abreeza. There were actually 2 shows that afternoon but we didn't go to the menswear one.


Bloggers' Talk

Last Tuesday, Cheyser, Aidx and I went to USEP to talk about blogging for my aunt's Introduction to Mass Communications class. We were a package deal since no one wanted to do it alone! And it was all our first time to give a blogging talk! I talked about the technical side of blogging--how to start a blog, blog hosts, kinds of blogs, etc. Aidx gave tips on blogging and photography, while Cheyser shared her experiences and benefits of blogging.

At first, Cheyser and I were terrified! We both hate public speaking. (I fear that people won't listen, so I find writing more comfortable) Aidx, on the other hand, is a mass comm student so it's a given. He is supposed to be outgoing! Haha. We even thought we'd just stay for an hour, but we ended up talking for the whole 2 hour class! So, hooray for baby steps toward conquering our fear of public speaking!

Thank you to my tita's class for having us and for being such great listeners! :)

Trendspotting: Ombre Hair

2/26/2012


Ombre'd hair has been making waves in the blog-o-sphere lately.
It's been spotted on:

Cheyser Pedregosa of TheWalkingRecessionista


Patricia Prieto of Paradigma

Mia Durano of The Handmade Turban

Kookie Buhain of Death by Platforms

The hair gives off a relaxed and breezy vibe that's perfect for the coming summer months.

A tip: Before having your hair ombre'd, consider your skin tone and wardrobe. I like Cheyser's hair best because it compliments her skin tone and the change is gradual. The ends have almost the same color palette as the roots. But since summer is coming, light ends also work in giving off that beach-y vibe. For colder months, keep hair darker.

What can you say about the trend? Do you plan on getting your hair ombre'd or not?
Tell me!

Trend Spotting: Sheer

11/05/2011


I noticed the sheer trend making its rounds on the blogosphere. From tops to skirts and cover-ups, no doubt we'll be seeing more of this trend.

Camille Co and Cheyser Pedregosa show us their take on the trend by wearing tops by SummerSault. Camille keeps her look polished by tucking her top into a pair of tan pants of while Cheyser keeps up with her whole effortless and relaxed vibe by pairing her top with a long necklace, skirt and boots.

Vern Enciso shows us that sheer need not be only limited to tops and skirts. She uses the sheer blazer to tone down her fringe top and tassel necklace.

Laureen Uy and Pauline Prieto love their sheer skirts! Laureen takes her skirt to fashion week, glamming it up with an animal printed top, a chunky necklace and Charlotte Olympia wedges. Pauline, also spotted at fashion week dresses down her skirt Coachella-inspired, showing us that effortlessly stylish model off-duty look we love.

Most important thing to keep in mind while wearing this trend is to wear the right undergarments.
So, how are you wearing this trend?
