flashes and paint.

last wednesday...

i spent the entire evening at a photo shoot that featured the new eco-friendly clothing line of renowned Filipino fashion designer

Puey Quinones.

i like him a lot. he's friendly and down-to-earth. not to mention, he's tremendously talented. i mean, sure. his stuff may not entirely go hand-in-hand with my personal style but i applaud him for incorporating art into his clothes. i best appreciate the distinct structural design of his pieces. very contemporary.

and oh. in case you're wondering... NOPE. i wasn't the photographer. and nope. i definitely didn't model. i was there to "morally" support my friend, Jules. the whole shindig's for her thesis and i just wanted to be there to help her out. but i ended up pigging out on barbecues and donuts instead. so i'm now apologizing for being such a useless nuisance. haha!

that's Bea, wearing one of the jackets from the said collection. if i'm not mistaken, the guys from Bilibid Prison were the ones who painted the them. i reckon it's Puey's way of helping out those prisoners, which i think is very noble. and yes, that's Jules, our incredible hostess, in blue (thanks, dear!).

and here's a shot of "the wall" at Puey's penthouse studio, which i think is cute.

so there you have it. i'll be posting all the other photos in my multiply. but for the meantime, here's a shot of us kids.

[L-R: Loris, Jules, Mike, Sha, Sean]

by the way, there will be an event on SEPTEMBER 6, 2008 at the PODIUM. the photos from the shoot will be exhibited, together with some of the clothes from Puey Quinones' collection. be there and check it out. let's all support Jules Syjuco and her team!

neat and cluttered.

spotlight on: Loris.

if there's one fashionista worth featuring, it would be this gal Rizzy. she never fails to surprise me with her outfits. this is what she wore today. what do you think?

this is actually her being subtle. wait until you see her in her crazy-bright-colorful-flamboyant attires! it's absolutely entertaining. it's either you'd get super duper irritated or you'd get entirely captivated by her pizzazz. depends how you see fashion. of course, as a friend, i'm obliged to feel the latter. haha! but really. you can't help but admire her personal style.

about this outfit. i like it. very much. in fact, i'd even say this is one of her best. i love the uniquely tailored pants paired with the sexy stilettos and the wala lang white shirt. totally in vogue. plus the socks made it even more stylish.

brava, Loris. brava.

and yeah. excellent choice of accessories. what a good way to stack trinkets. not too much. just right. but ultimately, hon, the bag pulled it all together.

with my amazing friend Loris.

school is driving me nuts. sometimes i wish i was born a geek (but a ridiculously handsome one) so i'd effortlessly ace all my exams and look cute at the same time. haha!

see what i'm talking about? now that's what the ideal me should look like. oh. by the way, he's fully clad in Marc Jacobs.
