What A Girl Wants

Since the weather here in the Philippines is quite bipolar, I'm always having a difficult time what to actually wear. It's supposed to be entirely rainy by this time but we're still having our fair share of Mr. Sun right now. It was sunny on the day these photos were taken. Well, at least until 3 in the afternoon. It was humid to some extent so I went for this look thinking that it's the perfect time to wear this number because I never had a chance to dress up during the summer. To my dismay, the rain started pouring and the whole summery vibe blew away. There's no stopping me in taking outfit shots regardless of the rain, though. Lol. Also, I know that summer season in some countries are either ending or starting already so let this serve as a little summer outfit inspiration for you guys - who wanna make the most out of the remaining days of their summer or those who want to start if off with a kick. Hehe.

If you were to ask me what's the perfect summer statement, it'd be the flower/floral crown. These babies have made their way into the world of trends. Before, you can just put them on for photo shoot purposes, but now you can show them off pretty much everyday depending on the style and size of your flower crown. I envy those places though where you can freely sport these and not get serious looks from people. Lol. Anyway, this crown I'm wearing was sent to me by Flors Boniques. I find it soooooo cute! And it's not overpowering, just perfect for an afternoon stroll!

Photobomber alert! Lol!

I really think this light pink top from Grab 'n Brag It (follow them and check their shop for more beautiful finds!) and necklace from Laureen Uy are meant for each other for some reasons I can't even explain. It's just that... light pink + neon pink = a super good combo, for me. Very girly and eye-catchy. Also, I know that these are the pieces Barbie would wear. Lol. I know I'm biased because pink is my fave color, you can tell by the items I had on (pink necklace, pink top, pink shoes, pink pouch lol). Anyway, I'm wearing my denim vest from Paris Blues. I have a smaller vest from Paris Blues as well which my aunt from the USA sent me. When it comes to denims, Paris Blues got you covered. They have tons of denim jackets, vests, pants, etc. I'm in love. Check out their Fall 2013 collection and see for yourself!

Love this watch sent for me by Pink Chix and this pouch from Katdg Shop! Perfect for my outfit! I like using this pouch because I hate taking big bags with me during long walks! Life saver!

TOMS Good Folk Fest

Since I've been MIA in the blogosphere for weeks, I've decided to blog another event post; which is, by the way, one of my backlogs. I've been quite busy lately. Midterms, school works, dance competition, school works, crappy internet connection, college week, school works -- busy bee, that is me.

This was the TOMS Good Folk Fest event held at Mercato. It was indeed a night full of fun and music! Unlimited drinks, cotton candy, gummy candies, popcorn, oatmeal choco chip cookies (which were superb!), ice cream, and the irresistible *wait for it...* red velvet cupcakes -- you wouldn't even mind daring yourself to indulge in these! Not to mention, you were surrounded by some well-known bloggers, artists, entrepreneur.. and dj. The feeling is so divine! I can't help but fangirl! Hahaha. So yeah, this event is for TOMS (you don't say? Lol). It was organized by my friend's ultimate crush Mike Concepcion. A couple of artists performed. And can I just say, I so love how fashion blogger Nicole Andersson hosted the event. She's someone I look up to. Not that she's only gorgeous, but she's also witty and natural. And very kind, too.

The venue was jam-packed. There were way too many prizes and raffles the whole night; you will definitely lost track of time! Gosh, I love attending events like this! They never run out of stuffs to give away!

Our passes

Treats!!!

These red velvet cupcakes were sooooo good. You jel? Haha.

There was also a live art exhibit.

More treats!!!

This was the part where the fashion bloggers were obliged to give away invites for the next TOMS event. Luckily, me and my friend won 2 invites! My invite was from Laureen. Yiheeeee she was smiling at me when she gave it, I'm kilig. Hahaha.

My friend Mariell won a pair of TOMS shoes! Yeyyyy! :)

With THE Mike Concepcion

When DJ Callum David arrived, my world literally stopped. I knew I just had to take a picture with him. Good thing there were only a few people left when he started spinning. Haha!

With Mike again. He reminds of someone. Dot dot dot..

My baby, spinning

Dream come true. Hahaha!♥

With fashion blogger Laureen Uy! It's my second time meeting her and I'm glad we got to chitchat for a minute this time! She said sorry if she looks haggard already. It didn't show! She's still very gorg.

I won a Nuvos earcandy!!! Thanks Nicole!

With Nicole Andersson. She's so nice and really approachable! I asked her if I could take a picture with her and she said, "Sure!". Like Laureen, she said sorry because according to her she's hulas na. But I told her she still look pretty! Her reaction was so funny! When we saw her again before she went home, she smiled at us and said thank you.♥

I manage to take home one jar of candies. Mua ha ha.

With Frank Magalona.

Me and Mariell's photobooth picture. Hahaha!

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!

PS. I was so happy to see Bianca Roque host the show! She's my fave VJ! Just saying :)
