ALIVE and KICKING... And YOU?! PLUS, a FAVOR PLEASE...

Random Photo? Well, yeah! :)) Outtakes from the MEG JUNE 2012 Editorial Team Shoot! Goofing around with my fashion editor, RAIN DAGALA :)

The title seemed fitting since its so ironic when my blog seems to be in a coma from lack of activity (my fault entirely of course) BUT I was just so happy to see that visitors still drop by the page to check it out :D I know this blog hasn't had much to offer these past months but in any case, thanks so much!

Anyways, I'm really happy I found time to squeeze in this post! For the time being, I think I have my head back on straight and I'm readying myself for yet another issue (so yes, I am still a magazine girl if you're wondering about that...), well no longer with MEG as I have recently moved to MEGA (July 17 to be exact). Gosh, how time flies really and these days I'm realizing how time is that one luxury that we all can't afford so cheesy as it sounds - don't waste it! See, I'm about to celebrate my first year with One Mega Group and it almost just feels like I've only been working there a couple of months so its really true what they say about time flying by when you're having fun! Stressed and cray cray kind of fun but fun nonetheless!

That said, I only hope that everyone else is having their own dose of fun! Well, in whichever and whatever manner suits you of course :) 

OH and before I forget entirely, I hope that you can indulge me in a little research and answer this question: 

WHAT IS LUXURIOUS FOR YOU?

Thats about it! Thanks in advance for posting an answer or just dropping by to read!

Till my next post...

4 MONTHS

... NOT BLOGGING!

Yipes! I don't seem to be too good with this huh?!? Well, I'd like to think that if I had more time on my hands, I could really squeeze in a post or two BUT with deadlines coming at me like mad, I'm working hard to keep everything together. So while I may not be blogging, I hope that you have all been thoroughly enjoying the past issues of MEG Magazine (my first issue was the FEB Issue... :D)

Later on, I would love to be able to post up BTS shots and unpublished photos from some of the editorials I've done and I guess clue you guys in on some big changes that's been happening! I mean, I havent exactly found a way to narrate the last 4 months of my life so when I figure it out - I'll be sure to blog about it! Suffice to say, its all pretty exciting!

Now that I got that out of the way, feels fitting to post outfit shots and to get it all out in one go, here's my Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012 Outfit Roll! I think I was channeling a different look each day, can you figure out my themed looks? :)) All photos taken via instagram @laferriols

My 2011 Year-End Report : PART 1 of 3

Sneaking a text before the PFW shows start!

My goodness! How time flies! How is everybody doing this January 2012? Scratch that, more like FEBRUARY 2012!!!  Honestly, I barely felt the holidays... Not that I didn't try to immerse myself in the Christmas Spirit... But with work and deadlines, a death in the family and all my other extracurriculars, time was really the enemy!

BUT you just have to keep going right and make the most out of everything?  SO I know that I've been more than remiss in updating my blog so first off, A BIG THANK YOU to my online friends who have been so nice and sweet as to leave me messages while I was on my blog hiatus! Reading them, really warmed my heart! Secondly, as I had promised, I'll be posting my backlog posts from last year in a 3-part post!  (Talk about going back in time, like way back cause I'm talking months here! HAHA) Though I hope you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane with me!

That said, here we go...

CHEERS!

PFW SS 2012 Day6

October 27, 2011

It was all bout Lace and Leather for the MEGA team on the 6th day.  With the cray cray happenings at the office, I just pulled out a lace number from my closet and kept it simple that day.  Now, I dunno if I've talked about it enough but my sister, BEYA, is very crafty and she made these feather earrings just the night before!  (Isn't she the BESTEST of the BEST?! :D)  Now I hope my haggard interior doesn't show too much in these photos! 

CHEERS!

Black lace dress  :  Hongkong Souk

PFW SS 2012 Day 7

October 28, 2011

You could have guessed it right and the theme for the MEGA team that day was Citrine! Just timely might I add since just a couple of days prior PFW, I fell in love with this neon motorcycle jacket.  It looked so refreshing I didn't even think twice about the purchase.  

On top of that, the dress that I wore that day was designed by me and my sister for our brand WHITE CALF.  It's a made-to-order dress that can come in solid colors or prints! (And yes, White Calf is slowly branching out to making fashionable and trendy dresses for your one-of-a-kind needs! OK more of this on a later post!  BUT if you want to order this dress, just leave us a message via our facebook page: facebook.com/whitecalfco)

Anyways, if you haven't noticed my style yet, I'm not really big on going girly a lot of the time.  While I love dresses and florals and the occasional ruffles detail, I tone my burst of femininity with loose pieces so it could be a jacket, a blazer, a vest or what not.  So here's a peek at what I wore that day to the shows.

MEG Up & Coming Celebrities

November 4, 2011

Its been on for quite awhile now that MEG Magazine is revamping and is no longer the teeny bopping magazine from when it started.  Like its audience, MEG has grown up and these are exciting times for both the magazine and its loyal readers!  I am truly honored to be a part of this change and was extremely thrilled about telling everyone about it.  

So last November, MEG held a party series themed "Up & Coming".  It was every Friday of November at the KYSS Bar where it was a celebration of successful young women and the most stylish and influential young movers of this generation.  Young celebrities, fashion designers, university it-girls and fashion bloggers hosted the weekly events. 

Young celebrity sisters, Lauren and Megan Young were the featured ladies for the first Friday.  It was a great kick off with guests treated to a fashion show by Jellybean.  Also hosted this event and styled the sisters for the night!

PFW SS 2012 Day 3

And lo and behold, I actually have outfit shots of what I wore for PFW Day 3! So backing up a bit since I just posted my PFW Day 4 look!  Ooopsie Daisy!

Anwyays, the theme for that day was animal print!  While you have your standard leopard, zebra and tiger all wild in the market, there's always that open option to take on the trend with a twist!  For me, it was the element of color.  Not to be deceived, this skirt is not a new purchase rather its one I've had for a couple of years now.  Its actually one of my closet faves since its all comfort and style in one!

As for the top, I fell in love with it at first fitting!  I've always liked denim and its ability to go from day to night when styled so I just had to take it home, wore it the 1st chance I got and... Voila!  Though, the icing on the cake would probably be the pretty pair of footwear I have on!  I was drooling over these black beauties online so imagine my squealing happy face when the shoe box was handed over to me!  Priceless!

Anyways, that day, I hung out with THE Grace Libero, Baby Elisa and Lover Angelo!  Hanging with them was such a thrill really and I can't wait till the next PFW... well, that's months away but... still!

Till the next PFW outfit post... I still have about 2 I think... Gotta hustle!


CHEERS!

PFW SS 2012 Day 4

As seen via megastyle.ph :)  My first at Mega Wardrobe!  Here's the link:  www.megastyle.ph/wardrobe/the-mega-team-pfw-4

Talk about a late post...  Skipped Days 2 & 3 for outfit post!  I had a full schedule for those days and didn't have time enough to remember to at least get an outfit shot! Pfft So... this is what I wore to PFW Day 4 instead.  Just a bit of history, I fell in love with this uber long cardigan number - at first sight!  In fact, it had to be taken out from the display window since its the last piece :)  So thank you to the nice staff at Forever 21 for bringing it down for me!

That day, I went straight to PFW from the office and was a bit haggard from juggling some deadlines and other projects!  Luckily, my skills were working just finevand I managed to pull of a mini fishtail braid!

Anyways, you can also spot this look via my chictopia lookbook: /www.chictopia.com/ohgeezlouise

PFW SS 2012 Day 1

Fresh from watching The Bench Show

Its time to kick off my Philippine Fashion Week Outfit Post Series!  Unfortunately, I don't think I was able to do outfit shots for all 8 days so I'll just post the ones I do have, yes?

So this was taken on Day 1 of PFW with the Bench Show starting the week with quite impressive collections from their brands' Human, Kashieca and Bench.  I felt like going for color that night and ended up wearing this!

I was also on writer duty that night for MegaStyle and I got to talk about my take on the collections and chose my top 5 picks from the runway.  You can read about my online published article by clicking on the linky :  http://www.megastyle.ph/news/bench-marked/
