The basic top

(Basic 3/4 Top: Pirouette. Tassel Necklace: Holic Accessories. Pleated shorts: Mapleberry Boutique.)

During one of our Ateneo bazaar breaks (when most of the students were in class); Carmel and I felt that we needed to do something productive. This resulted in a little Pirouette x Mapleberry collaboration. ♥

Woodsy (poison ivy) make-up look

Primer: Shu Uemura. Face powder: Venus and Mars. Lips: Petroleum jelly. Eyeshadow + eyebrows: Catwalk cosmetics. Eyeliner: The Face Shop liquid liner. Mascara: Maybeline stiletto. 

Its been a while since I played around with my make-up. Created this spur of the moment make-up look with a woodsy theme in mind. Recently learning how to contour my face; but still doing it via trial and error. ^_^

Meg magazine (Dec-Jan issue)

Was really thrilled to get a copy of this magazine because not only did PIROUETTE get to be a part of this, but so did some good friends of mine. Its really a keeper! + Oh yeah, my photo is there too. >__<

 This part, my family keeps lauging like crazy because looking at all the ages, i'm actually the oldest! 

Thank you soooo much!!! Sino kaya nag-style?! Achieve!

Greatest surprise is that i thought the mag was only the December issue. Turns out, it ran till January. *kilig* Really thankful to everyone involved. ♥

Video: I cut my hair!

Felt like my hair needed a makeover so I finally went to the Tony and Jackey salon that Carmel's been recommending. Did this early December, btw.

They did a great job despite the language barrier ~the stylists are all Korean!! Oh, and guess what, the place has free wifi. Def. a big bonus for me. Anyhow, video above shows how we got our hair done. ♥

On Carmel: Mapleberry shorts and accessories, Pirouette top. On Acha (me): Pirouette top, Holic tassel necklace.

Us the next day ^_^

Bangkok park day

Backlog post as usual. Hello! I haven't given up on this blog just yet. 

On Carmel: Mapleberry top and skirt; Bangkok shoes. On Acha (me): Pirouette dress; Bangkok shoes.

Went to Bangkok last November and wore these outfits to go touring. The trip was really for business; but we managed to squeeze in some fun and cam-ho'ing. Shots taken in a random park + yes, we toured in heels :)

Lolita love

 

Lolita outfit + shoes (from Catz Singapore). Wig + knee-high stockings (Landmark).

Am very aware that its been 1 1/2 months since halloween has passed! Sorry bout that! Getting back on topic: Above is what I wore last Halloween 2011. Our house was decorated in all sorts of crazy! Wore this while giving away candy. 

The dream shoot

A teaser photo for my latest Pirouette collection, taken from (the forever awesome) Elisa Aquino's blog. I swear, that girl is just sooo so talented. Got to work with Nikki + Anne who I felt was just so perfect to model for my brand. They were super nice and easy to work with. ^_^
