Uncoordinated Prints

(H&M hat, Personalized Accessories necklace, Le Vie Collections top, SM GTW skort, Fashion Galore bracelets, Feet for a Queen wedges)

As the heat started to settle in Cebu I found myself playing with prints, colors and studs for this look. I got this Aztec top from Le Vie Collections that was I thought was perfect for the event. To be honest, I keep wearing Aztec pieces on several posts because it's eye catching and you won't have a hard time making it look amazing because without any effort, it's striking already. There's just something with this top that I love- the fabric is so light and the colors give a playful vibe. I paired it with this black studded shorts for an additional edgy look. To complete the entire ensemble, I wore this printed hat and colorful bangles/ necklace. Whenever I wear bold colors and prints, it allows me to look and feel vibrant- in the best way possible! Besides, colorful pieces and prints are fun and happy- and who doesn’t want to exude these qualities? BMS.

Cebu, Philippines March 2013

A few weeks ago, I flew to Cebu with a small group of people for the launch of Mac's Archie's Girls collection. I've always been an Archie fan and I was so excited when I found out Mac was releasing this collection. When I was a little kid, my parents would always allow me to buy only 2 Archie Comic books so I'd end up reading Archie books for hours in the book store. I had a cabinet filled with Archie Comics so imagine my excitement for this launch.

They only flew two fashion bloggers and a few make up artists for this launch so I was pretty honored. Thank you so much, Mac Cosmetics. This is so far the most luxurious trip I've experienced for my blog. We flew via Philippine Airlines business class and I was seated front row with make up artist Jigs Mayuga. 

 We also each had our own rooms in Marriott Hotel. Isn't this room too big for me?! It's really convenient too because it's walking distance to Ayala Mall, where the Mac event was held.

 Mac's Archie's Girls collection was held at the Ayala Mall Activity Center and it was an invite only event from 2-7pm. Morning palang, reserved na halos lahat ng lipsticks! They were so strict about calling out the numbers too- if your number is called and you're not there- they cancel out your order for other people who's in line. 

 Are you team Betty or team Veronica?

 The event made me feel like I was in Pop Tate's diner. They were serving cream floats, burgers, cherry sodas, hot dogs, etc. They even had a juke box with people dancing everywhere. Really cute theme and decoration.

 Kirsten Brito, the lovely and fabulous girl from Mac who flew us to Cebu. She's such a great host! Very accommodating and caring. I had so much fun in this trip! 

 Mac's Archie's Girls collection. I personally love almost everything but my top picks are Betty Bright and Daddy's Little Girl lipsticks, Flatter Me blush and the Spoiled Rich eyeshadow. 

 Betty, Archie and Veronica. 

 With Bianca Gonzalez who only flew in for a day for the event. Happy to know she's also an Archie fan! The Betty Bright looked fantastic on her. 

 We were also able to relax a bit at Movenpick. I can't even explain how amazing this place is- it's really for people who want to just forget the world and relax. Really, it's the perfect place for some R&R. I was also able to bond with my blogger besties while I was there, so it was the perfect trip for me.

Thank you Mac Cosmetics for flying me to Cebu. I loved the entire collection. Too sad a lot of the items I wanted were sold out right away. If there are new stocks, I'll for sure be there right away to buy them! Cebu, see you soon. I love you too much not to go back. BMS.

Cebu

Words can't express how much fun I had in Cebu. These are just some snapshots of my weekend trip there. All my friends were sick and tired of my "Cebu was so fun, we did...." when I came back from Cebu. I literally couldn't get over it. I'm definitely going back for sure. I spent it with my good friends Nicole Andersson and Kryz Uy. Of course, thank you to Mike Yu, #8jefjef, Marco Toral, Paolo Rodriguez and Slater Young for showing me the best time in Cebu. Honestly if I have a free weekend, I'd spend it there again. I think I left my heart there. BMS.

Mixed

(Hailey and Five necklace, Mademoiselle top, Iconique polo, Veva Deeluxe bangles, Chloe bag, Topshop shorts, Primadonna wedges)

You all know how I try and wear heels or wedges when I go out because I'm petite, so imagine my joy when I found these incredibly comfortable Primadonna 3-inch wedges. I try and avoid heels that aren't sky high, but this one is just too pretty to ignore. I brought it with me when I went to Cebu- the only pair of wedges that I actually brought because it's that comfortable. You can say my entire look is indescribable- I just love how the prints mixed well together and the fact that my polo is longer than my shorts. A casual yet wonderful effect. BMS. 

Last Day in Cebu

the media people I love from Candy, Chalk, Cosmopolitan and Preview.

with the Uy sisters and Camille Co

(WAGW hat, Zara top, necklace from my sister, Topshop shorts)

I woke up at Shangri-la Mactan feeling very relaxed. Their bed is the bomb! Got ready and met up with the owners of What A Girl Wants and media people. We had lunch at Chika-an before going to the airport. I'll definitely miss Cebu. The Uy sisters are definitely the best hosts. 

Even if it's December, I can't help but wear a sheer top and shorts because of the weather in our tropical country. To top it all off, I wore this WAGW hat. Definitely the cutest hat I have so far.
