Fadal's Fashion Week after party

Sorry for the delay, I just got back in Manila last sunday night. anyway..

I was actually feeling lazy and sleepy hours before the event since I haven't had any decent sleep in the previous days but I didnt want to ditch Jonard so I still went to 7th high despite the rain.

When we arrived, the staff were having a hard time looking for our names. Lizanne Cua was beside me, the staff asked her where the other part of the guest list is. Then I heard someone from behind said "I think I know them", when I looked to my side, I was surprised that it was Uly King. I didnt notice that he was behind Lizanne,. LOL Then he asked the staff to gave us VIP wristbands. (thanks sir Uly and Lizanne!)

We arrived a bit early so there were only a few people when we entered.

It was surprising to be welcomed by the Lev Rodriguez, I never thought he knew/recognized me. I was really surprised. haha

With Luigi and Lev
Dont you just love our colored coats?

2 days to go! Can you feel the BU hype?

Who's excited? I know you all are! I can't wait either! I can already feel the BU-hype! It's the event that everyone's been talking about:

Official press release:

Notable style and beauty bloggers of the World Wide Web will connect outside their computer screens to take part in BLOGGERS UNITED: An Interactive Shopping Affair on May 27, 2011 at the 3nd - 33rd floor of The Lounge in Malayan Plaza Hotel. This event will be the very first bloggers bazaar featuring the most influential bloggers of Manila’s online fashion community.

Our favorite online fashionistas will open up their closets to sell their most coveted pre-loved clothes, allowing buyers to get the very same outfit worn by popular bloggers such as Rosanna Aranaz, Lloyda Lim, Tricia Gosingtian, Laureen Uy and Kryz Uy. Various style icons will also take part in this event including Kookie Buhain, Lissa Kahayon, Patricia Prieto, David Guison, Camille Co, Karl Leuterio, and Joanna Ladrido.

BLOGGERS UNITED wants this event to be a venue where the bloggers and readers can get together and interact with one another. Followers can approach their favorite bloggers to get to know them even more. They can share tips about how to style a particular item of clothing, gossip about the latest stories in the local and international fashion scene and be updated about the latest fashion trends.

Blogging has proven to be a very formidable part of the new media, empowering individuals and giving them voice in this emerging high tech word. BLOGGERS UNITED believes that such power can also be wielded for the good of others. With this in mind, part of the proceeds from this event will go to the K.I.D.S. FOUNDATION to assist the organization in "helping children from all walks of life enjoy their rights and experience growth and development through God-centered activities that promote fun and enjoyment."

BLOGGERS UNITED is the brainchild of Melai Entuna, Aisa Ipac and Ana Gonzales, a team of blogger friends aiming to make a breakthrough by creating events and productions geared towards the continuous advancement of Manila’s (and eventually, the country’s) fashion blogging community.

So to all bloggers, readers, and shoppers alike, be sure to bookmark the 27^th of May and prepare for a hot summer event you wouldn’t want to miss! BLOGGERS UNITED is a HYPE that will definitely be worth blogging about!

Break the Silence

Some of my readers don’t know that aside from keeping myself busy with fashion related work and stuffs, I am also a fine arts student. One of the things I appreciate most is ART

Let me share with you this fascinating creation of my photographer friend, Alvin Adriano. I was actually staring at it for minutes, the first time I saw it. I was really amazed and honestly, I can't find words to describe it. Every detail of it is very impressive. It's beyond perfect.

"Break the silence. Break free from emotions. Break the serenity that masks your soul. Play music and be control."

"Breakaway. Play the melody of your heart, let your body succumb to the beat, to the motion. Follow your passion."

"Like a violin resounding its harmony to the rest of humanity with a bow echoing its sound till eternity."

I know you're staring at every detail too.

They have the gentlest hands ever! ate Esther(staff) keeps on asking me "masakit ba?" (does it hurt?)

but she's just like massaging my toes, didnt hurt at all, not even a bit :)

ate Esther putting nail polish on my toenails

Hazel was actually one of my giveaway winners! Nice to see you there hazel!

Tomato launches its new fragrances

I attended their launch at trinoma together with my blogger friends Aie, Krissy, Melai, Jen and Kai.

As usual, I was fashionably late. lol When I arrived, there were a lot of people and I was surprised that the Azkals were there. I was also able to meet Jam Calihig (Ana's friend who invited us) and Earth of Earthlingorgeous.

We were given 1k worth of GCs so we looked around and picked something to buy. I couldn't decide what to pick then I saw Aie trying on the shades, I remember I was planning to buy a new sunglasses at F21 but since Tomato's are nice and they make you mayaman-looking, plus I dont have to spend because of the GCs, I bought one narin yay! Then I was also eye-ing at this leopard maxi dress so I tried it on.

and purchased it too. hehe :P

can't wait to wear this!

Jen and Kai were winners of my PFW giveaway last week!

the sunglasses' case is so pretty!

it comes with a free cellphone charm :)

Thank you, Tomato for the GCs and gift pack (new fragrances)!

The new Tomato fragrances are the latest addition to their collection of clothes, bags, shoes and accessories.

Oohlalicious and Vavalicious are here to make you be delicious, not just look like it.
