Cascading

Friday, June 29, 2012

(Dress: Karimadon// Earrings: F21// Ring: Envy// Purse: SM Accessories)

I got to transform myself into a dapper girl of the '20s during the Miss World Philippines coronation night last Sunday (I had to attend said event for work). Makeup artist and hairstylist, Camille Regala, helped me achieve the wavy hair that I wanted to complement the cascading ruffles on my dress. For the makeup, we went with a simple gold smokey eye and nude lip look. I felt so regal after changing into my dress and seeing the overall look with 1920's-inspired hair and makeup on. It felt good to look like a proper lady for a change. Haha! To be honest (and candid), I got a bit restless days before the event, stressing myself on finding an appropriate long dress. I didn't want to waste money on a designer dress that I know I will only get to wear once or twice. Fortunately, I found this lovely eggplant-colored dress in a local retail store. The dress may have been constructed from  basic jersey and chiffon but the craftsmanship and fit made up for the materials' simplicity. And the good thing was, the price tag on the dress didn't burn a hole on my wallet. Thank goodness.

The Miss World Philippines 2012 pageant was the first "beauty pageant" I've ever attended. I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it but surprisingly, I did. I had my beauty favorites and I was so pleased that all of them made it to the Top 5. I don't mind attending another beauty pageant event in the future. Just give me enough time to prepare a look please. Haha! 

P.S. Thank you to Camille for my hair & makeup and to Anton Aguila for the photos! Love you guys! 

P.P.S. Man, I've got to work on those chunky arms of mine. But it's so hard to find time for exercise! Argh.
