Candy Style Awards 2012 (05.04.12)

Finally! Sorry for this super late post!

So, the Candy Magazine held its first ever Candy Style Awards last May 4, 2012 at the Rockwell Tent. Basically, this event brought together the 8 fashionistas labeled as the Candy Style Stars, and of course handed them over their Style award (you don’t say, haha)— which arrived on the scene in a really cute (and yummy) form!

When me and my friend Mariell arrived at the venue, Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona were performing. Every one was indeed in full blast! They were so hyped to see the famed love team!

I think some other celebrities were present and awarded that night but we didn't get the chance to see them due to a behind schedule arrival. Haha!

After JuliElmo's (is that how you spell it?) performance, they were immediately followed by Someday Dream. 

So while waiting for the style stars, Mariell and I tried the event's mobile bar... of juices. You would totally laugh if you saw our reaction after drinking what's in the shot glass! Haha! We were like, "This is not even an alcohol! It's so sweet! Ano 'to, Grenadine?" Hahaha! ;) We then retained the information that Candy Magazine is intended for tweens/teens. :)

Let's fast forward to the main event!

THE CANDY STYLE STARS!

 JASMINE CURTIS-SMITH

Supposedly, the first one to show up on the stage was Jasmine Curtis-Smith. Since she wasn't able to make it, she just sent a video for her fans who really waited for her. I'd love to see her, really! She is so gorgeous!

TRICIA GOSINGTIAN

Next was my first love fashion blogger, Tricia Gosingtian! I was so stoked to see her! She is truly such a doll! Love love love her!

LAUREEN UY

It was followed by my ultimate favorite fashion blogger, Laureen Uy! I fell in love with her the moment I first saw her on tv (for those who don't know, she's also an actress!) wearing a really marv outfit! And my addiction to her never stopped since then! (I'll tell more about her on my upcoming blog post xx) I was so exhilarated to see her so when she came out on the stage, I was completely screaming like crazy! Haha!

Her outfit was so Candy-inspired! HYPED! ;)

I forgot who went next, boohoo :( I'll just post them anyway.

PATRICIA PRIETO

Patricia Prieto! So yeyyy! She's just so stunning from her hair down to her feet! She actually reminded me of Miley Cyrus that night! Such a rocker chic! \m/ Also, she was one of the friendliest bloggers. You can see her smiling at you when her and your eyes meet!

 Don't you just love her outfit? I know I do!

JAZ REYES

Next stop, Jaz Reyes. Familiar, huh? Yeap, because she was last season's UAAP courtside reporter for the Ateneo. I believe she was also an intern for Candy Magazine. And a DJ. And a VJ. And a host. Whew! Isn't that amazing?

KRYZ UY

The very charming and dazzling, Kryz Uy! With a pretty face and a get-up like that, no one would ever thought that she went all the way straight from the airport! I so love her!

When all else fails, go sparkly!

CAMILLE CO

Yes, the It Girl herself!!! I really am a huge Camille Co fan. She absolutely inspires me and I adore her so much. She is so prestigious, yet, manage to keep her feet on the ground. Definitely one of the people who'll never fail to leave you in awe with her fascinating pieces. I just love everything she wears! I want to have her closet!

SARAH LAHBATI

 

The beautiful Sarah Lahbati! She looked striking already with just a plain white dress and red lipstick on! She's also an actress. :) However, she didn't mingle with the crowd after the show :(

They are this year's Style Stars! Can't wait for next year's Candy Style Awards!!! :)

Here are some photos me and my friend took after the show. I was so thrilled to have my photo taken with my favorite bloggers! And the Candy Cuties of course :)

My friend's favorite Candy Cuties. HAHAHA!

Philippine Fashion Week - The Ramp 5.22.12

I’m gonna try to make this blog short and snappy, for it’s already 4:02am and I can feel the lethargy in me. Hahaha.

 

So, last Tuesday, I and my friends attended the Philippine Fashion Week’s first vogue blast which was The Ramp Crossings’ fashion show held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

 

 It was pretty much an entertaining show. The collection was just superb. I love how we can see every detail through our third row seats. What added more enjoyment to the show was the charming kids who walked on the runway. It was indeed pleasant to watch. 

 Highlight of the night, meeting the famous fashion blogger Patricia Prieto for the second time. As a fan girl that I admit I really am, I didn’t blow away the chance to have my picture taken with her... again. She is just so nice and approachable. She even liked our picture on Instagram. Did I mention that she’s extremely gorgeous too? I totally love her style that I marvel at how she can make any outfit girly yet edgy. She’s definitely one of my favorite fashion bloggers.

Speaking of which, my style inspiration for this outfit is a combination of another beyond amazing fashion bloggers/enthusiasts, Laureen Uy and Camille Co. Actually, the first outfit I planned on wearing was really a Camille Co-inspired outfit. I had a last minute shopping and bought a white sheer sleeveless top to match up with my tangerine mullet skirt and intended to complement my outfit using gold belt and accessories. If you know Camille Co, you’ll see how much she is into toning her outfits with gold and it enthuse me so much. Like what she said, it gives her an “ang yaman ko lang” look. Because of her, I became a fan of gold accessories. Anyway, so I didn’t push through to what I’ve planned because when I did the fitting, the top practically didn’t look good on the mullet skirt. Well, for me. There’s just really something wrong. And so I persisted on plan B, my sheer top with blue and white stripes. It perturbed me because if I’m going to wear it, I’m going to put it on two weeks in a row and nobody wants that. But then I remembered what Laureen Uy said, “It’s okay to repeat clothes as long as you style it differently.” Hence, I pursued it, also because it was absolutely a last minute fashion emergency and I didn’t have enough time anymore to find an appropriate top to go with my skirt. That’s the best that I got during that moment.

  

 

The first time I saw Laureen Uy in person was during a night out in Greenbelt. She was so stunning and her mullet skirt caught my eye. Since then, I’ve been a huge fan of mullet skirts. What I love most about Laureen is she always gives that sweet yet sassy vibe in every outfit. I just love her way too much. Plus, both of us are wedges buffs. For me, wedges are more comfortable than any other shoes. I can walk all day in it. In addition, it really makes any outfit stand out and gives oomph to it. I opted to wear white wedges, but I don’t know why the fashion fairy godmothers kept on sending me mishaps that day that my wedges broke down. It’s just cray. I went for gold-ish printed stilettos instead.

Top- Forever 21; Blazer- Tomato; Shoes- Zara; Ring- Greenhills

 

As you know in fashion, color blocking is the new trend. So I chose this hot pink bag to add a color to my outfit. Regarding my accessories, I just added a huge gold ring and gold with pearl earrings to prevent over decoration. I then finished and toned up my colorful outfit with a preppy gray blazer to balance the colors and voila! I’m good to go.
