Project Catwalk’s Winner is Jasper Garvida, a Filipino!

It’s been a long while since I last posted. Hence, here it is!
Now, we’ve got someone to be proud of, aside from Manny Pacquiao who won his 4th world boxing title while ago.
Just passed by Jenni Epperson’s blog last, last time and found out the UK’s Project Catwalk Season 3 winner is Jasper [...]

Make a Statement with David & Goliath.

Aside from deconstructed shirts, scintillating sequin or bead studded tops/dresses or multicolored (or multi-printed) frocks, statement tees are a unique way of calling people’s attention. I don’t have an extensive collection of statement tees but I can recall at least one or two. Remember the infamous “I’m with stupid (with an arrow pointing somewhere)” tee? [...]

Something Christian Siriano Inspired.

*Lurve, lurve, lurve the ruffled jacket-belt ensemble!*
Christian Siriano, the youngest of Fashion Runway’s Season 4 contestants, has been my favorite among others. It wasn’t such a surprise when I found out that he’s this season’s big winner. I love his bold, ruffled avant-garde pieces. So one time, I decided to sketch something that’s Siriano inspired [...]

Lusting for Valentino Pret-a-Porter 2008 Autumn/Winter Collection at the Paris Fashion Week.

The recent Paris Fashion Week graced style and glamor as top designers presented their brandishing fab collections for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2008. Some are hot, while others are kinda eccentric and inexplicable.

Valentino caught most of my attention. Since one of my favorite designers has just retired, Alessandra Facchinetti made a great job as [...]

Bikini Sketch.

This is my first time to do a design for a pair of, uhm, sexy sensuous bikinis.
And I did this for my wonderful best bud, Sophie.
Will make few embellishments on this soon. As soon as we agreed upon such.
In the meantime, indulge in my moment of crappy-ness.

For the Lurve of Fas-yon.

Here’s the real deal: I rarely sketch stuff.
My fashion sketching heydays are gone.
But, I was dead-bored then. So, I did one heck of a piece.
I’d rather do the traditional way of making artworks by hand since I know, I know. I suck big time in fotoshop. :P. I posted [...]

I’ll be thanking Charms & Crystals…

Honestly, I wasn’t fond of grabbing any auspicious items like trinkets until recently; I found out my inner desire to get one, two or even three. Sophie’s one of the most influential people I know who tempted me to give lucky charms and psychic reading a shot. Talking about welcoming the world of Esoteria! [...]

Turning Korean! ^_^

I’ve been very frustrated on getting a porcelain complexion just like Korean’s. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t actually want to have a livid Snow White glow. I just wanted to be poreless, flawless. But it looks like I got horrible genes so I ended up having a blemish-prone skin.

Anyways, it’s not only their skin [...]

My footwear search.

Heck, I want to recount my emergency shopping spree for a brand new pair of office footwear.
I said “emergency” since It was unplanned, and I strongly digressed on shopping that day but had no choice. I have been sooo engrossed into wearing Havs since the onset of my “work” life. For a wee backdrop of [...]

My Dream Wedding Gown

Someday, I know, I’m gonna get married. Though I’m pining for a beach wedding at a Caribbean coast (how I wish!), a simple garden wedding will do very fine!
I never thought of having an idea what my wedding gown should be, until I saw this:
