Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:07:00 -0500

Textured nails and posh finish is a whole host of new formulas for nails are on offer this season and is rest assured that will be loved by women.

S/S 2013: Picks from the Runway

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 08:50:00 -0500

I really want to kiss the foot of whoever invented the internet and how the era of technology progressed. Since I am not, yet, fortunate enough to sit in the front row of the shows, the web has definitely saved a seat for me for them to view. I have selected my favorite picks from S/S 2003 Collection from different designers.

THE HELMUT NEWTON EFFECT

Little fierceness is what the women of today always have and will always need with this little leather sheat dress by Jason Wu.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE!

Charlotte Ronson proved that peplum are still a go go in 2013 with this water-nautical inspired look.

SEEING STRIPES

Different patterns of the same family definitely do collide, always. Black, white and gold dress by Marc Jacobs.

PEEK-A-BOO MIDRIFFS

Who says looking sexy and smart is that hard to achieve. Jill Stuart reminds me of the Victorian era with this whole schmear.

THE ALL WHITE: SLICE AND DICE

Victoria Beckham isn’t just Posh Spice and gave ‘posh’ to this fresh, crip basic white and spiced up with diagonal textured cuts.

SHEER BLISS

Plains and Prints, Conservative and Provocative, yes, Tim Weiland goes for balance with this casual-sexy outfit.

CHAMBRAY & DENIM

With the patchwork of different denim, Philip Lim defined the epitome of grunge look.

A little wifi can really bring us to places, do they? So, those are few of my picks for S/S 2013 straight from the runway, or internet. So, Who are your favorites?

Where is Karl and what has this man in camo-green done with him. Karl only wears black. This is disconcerting.

A little bit of "Belle de Jour"

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:43:59 -0500

… before a deep slumber.

Belle de Jour (1967) french film who’s gist is about a woman, Catherine Deneuve, who spend her days as a prostitute while her husband is at work.

Spellbinding and Iconic of equal measure. A good way to jump start my way back to the history.

I just hope I don’t fall asleep while watching — one thing I’m good at though.

Meet the physical criteria for Anorexia

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:38:24 -0500

-Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23% less.

- Ten years ago plus-size models averaged between size 12 and 18. Today the need for size diversity within the plus-size modeling industry continues to be questioned. The majority of plus-size models on agency boards are between a size 6 and 14, while the customers continue to express their dissatisfaction.

- Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia.

- 50% of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller.

Welcoming a new friend, 2012.

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:20:00 -0500

I was sick last night, and gotten worse, but it’s definitely not an excuse not to celebrate the New Year. I wasn’t able to take photos of the fireworks, and yeah ze food, upon welcoming 2012 because we were too busy whoring photos of ourselves. I love celebrating the holidays with those people I grew up with. When I was 7, they’re just my ate’s and kuya’s. 13 years later, they have become my friends and extended family. Nothing feels like home.

While everyone is so busy with their fireworks, the 3 of us kept ourselves busy as well. (L-R: Beng, Me, Ish)

I love doing goofy faces. Cross-eyed: FAIL!

A proof that girls love to chit-chat.

She’s the only person, besides my family, who knows me well. She’s gonna go back to Japan in a few months so better seize the moment with her.

I wish I have a photo like this as well.

But Instead, I have a photo with a barbecue.

Group shot! We just don’t know how to fit in.

I love how 2012 sounds. So, happy twenty-twelve to you all!

JEFF GALANG: LOUIS VUITTON F/W 2011:

jeffgalang:

For the past five days, I’ve been preoccupied by downloading pegs for my future references and one collection really stood out for me, Louis Vuitton’s Fall/ Winter 2011 pieces.

This season’s pieces are really distinct. First, the silhouette: everything looked sculpted, the jacket, big-buttoned…

Now, that’s definitely one heap of a cull. :)
