Project Runway Season 12

Isn’t this new season plug so gripping? Aww Tim Gunn looks so cute! haha. The next season of Project Runway is set to begin July 18. It immensely intrigues me that there are guys here. Are we to expect more menswear challenges? 

After visiting My Lifetime web page, I discovered that they are running an online Runway Redemption contest to bring back a previous season designer who got booted off for a second chance at fashion supremacy. Ra'mon-Lawrence Coleman (Season 6),Valerie Mayen (Season 8) and Kate Pankoke (Season 11) are on an online battle to make it Season 12. I am betting on Ra’mon here, his exit on Season 6 is premature. He has great designs but wasn’t able to show it more.

The winner will be revealed on the season premiere! 

Are you excited? Coz I do. I do. I do.

All Alone

Started to work with the black pants first and tried on several shirts for the top and then it all came together. I am attending my best friends’ wedding, Cente and Tel which we have been preparing for months. The attire is strictly Barong Tagalog for the men but yes I was given permission by the bride to wear what I want. Ha! She really is my best friend. Haha.

The ensemble is looking smart casual than formal but I think it did look like that because I rolled up the sleeves and unbuttoned the shirt. Forgive me but it is really a hot day so those are necessary to survive the wedding at the Church.

I am nowhere near the jungle, but the lipstick jungle. Kidding. This was shot at our backyard. I was thinking of wearing a black belt but I thought it’s boring so I opted for the brown. By the way, this slim belt is reversible if you change your mind and you want black then just twist it and you’re good. I really like that functionality. It gives you convenience and it’s a price of one for two.

Meanwhile, I wasn’t intending on having brown for my accessories it just happened. And it went well I think. I love my addition of the clutch.

And before I forget, I would like to thank my friends for ditching me on the wedding! I understand but yes it sucks to be alone. And common it’s our friend’s wedding.  You guys are awesome! haha. Kidding. :)

What I wore: Jean Top and pants from Uniqlo, Belt from The SM Store, Shoes custom made, Leather clutch custom made, Specs from Giordano


Hype this look on lookbook! Please? Lol. 

The Greenbelt Sale

I just love Ayala Malls. The most stylish and customer-centered shopping mall is holding a scavenger hunt, the Greenbelt Shopping Race! Just accomplish the tasks stated above and you just might win Stella Luna Shoes, P30,000 shopping spree(oh my jeezas) and travel packages. This is in line with the mall's on going sale and here’s more good news because they have extended the sale to July 31!

Be sure to get those tasks done in style! I would pop up there in Greenbelt and be like those teens scrambling from one store to the other. haha.

Shop like there’s no tomorrow! Because there are more ways and reasons to shop.

The Bright Idea Project x Satchel Bag

I got an idea to get a bag that I want to be custom made. Laxamana Shoe Store and Supplies is the first thing that came to my mind to get this to life. This is the same store that made my leather clutch/laptop sleeve. Though they cater mostly shoes, I tried my luck. Carefully, I explained what I want and brought some sketches. I was thinking of a functional bag where I can fit in my laptop and stuffs, also for a normal stroll in the mall with friends.

A satchel was on my mind and black is the colour I chose. Black as it is formal and yet it can translate into different settings.

When I went to my go-to shoe store, Laxamana Shoes here in Angeles City, I was in high hopes that they can give me the exact bag that I wanted them to make happen. But I should’ve gave my myself a heads up that I was in a shoe store not a bag store. I showed them pictures of the design that I want, the details and all. Being my first time to get a bag custom made, I forgot some details that I need to specify like the bag handles, straps. I guess that can learned for next time. I don’t have a bigger picture of the bag dimensions so some measurements were a bit big to my liking.

The thing here is in the end I was happy with the product even though there were some details that I wish I did. The bag’s design was greatly inspired by this bag I saw from Pinterest. Overall, it may not be exactly as I have pictured in my head but it was something that I will surely want. It looked more expensive and classier than the casualness of the original design.

This is how it turned out. I’m happy with it, though I still had some alterations done. It’s quite sleek and sturdy!

What are your thoughts guys?

I would love to hear from you.
