Shopping Buddy

I guess you can say red is a very happy and lucky color- you wear it when there are special occasions. I wore this monochromatic look and paired it with colorful accessories to give my outfit a surprise. I met up with my Palmolive Naturals Stylista Speaks Contest winner Anne Camille Mendoza (you can check out my post about it HERE). Well, no doubt that she's the winner- just look at her fair skin that she maintains by using Palmolive Naturals White and Moisture Soap! Its formula, infused with 100% natural Papaya and Songyi Mushroom Extracts, gives whiter skin in just one week* (based on instrumental mexameter reading; when used twice daily). Anyway, the prize was a P5,000 shopping spree at Forever 21 and a styling session with me. So let the shopping begin!

Since F21 is so huge, we didn't know where to start! The first few minutes of the shopping spree, we were still kind of shy and trying to get to know each other better. Here we are trying to check out the design and fabrics of the clothes.

 So many pretty shoes! Just like me, she says she's a shoe lover too.

 SALE! We rushed to the sale items but sadly there weren't a lot of sizes for Camille anymore.

 After awhile, we got cozy already and started talking about a lot of things while shopping. Camille is actually a model and has done a lot of print ands and commercials already. Knowing this, I chose simpler tops for her so she can wear it during her VTRs.

 Isn't she so pretty?

 Okay, I guess we really got along. Our shopping/ styling session turned out to be a super fun shopping date! Here we are goofing around with hats.

 For a fair complexion like hers, I chose a lot of pastels and powder pink colors for her. It will make her fair skin pop out more. She also has silky black hair so pastel colors are the best choice.

Here I am with the Palmolive team: Jaja Galang, Paula Pascual, Ninoy Gonzales, Ico Aganon and Trixie Esguerra of Nuffnang. I had such a great time shopping with my winner Camille. Don't forget, if you want to have a fair skin- try Palmolive Naturals White and Moisture Soap. Do visit Palmolive Naturals on Facebook to get more fun and exciting tips and features! BMS.

Stripes

I don't know why I decided to go all out on stripes this day, but all I know is I wanted to be comfy because I styled for a fashion editorial for Preview magazine. It was my first time to style an editorial for them and I was so nervous that Vince (my brother) was going to creative direct. It's so funny because you'd think I'd be more comfortable, but I was so pressured- I wanted him to love all the looks I styled. Whew! Anyway, I decided to wear this long dress so I can move around freely and layer this sheer polo from The Chic Closet on top. Since it's sheer and the stripes are vertical, it made a wonderful effect with the overlapping horizontal stripes underneath. The thing about this top is you can wear it alone, as a layer or as an inside piece. Normally, I'd wear it this inside and wear a blazer over it but to be more fun, I chose to wear it as a layer. Lastly, I wore these incredibly comfy Crocs rubber shoes for that japanese-y effect. Peace. BMS.
