Vertebrae

(Top: courtesy of Ellemel by S.E.A. // Leggings: Mango // Shoes: Soule Phenomenon x OS)

This amazing top from Ellemel is a product of the bright minds of three UP Clothing Technology students: Sam, Erica & Aien. While it employs a mullet design (which we usually see in other chiffon tops and skirt), the design on the front part is quite unconventional. It buttons on the side, resembling somewhat a chef's white jacket. I've had this top for quite a while and I haven't had the chance to wear it out because I was waiting for the perfect shoes to go with it (a shallow reason, I know). But...I did find the perfect shoes! Say hello to my Vertebrae boots! This pair is a collaboration between Soule Phenomenon and OS Accessories. The heel is an amazing work of art. It's made of the same material that OS uses for their one-of-a-kind accessories. If you're interested in getting a pair, you may have these Vertebrae boots made-to-order. Just contact Soule Phenomenon via Facebook.

What To Expect at the 2nd Blogger's United Bazaar

 

If you had an amazing time during the 1st Blogger's United Bazaar (see the fun photos I posted HERE on the 1st BUB), then you'll definitely have more fun at the upcoming BUB2 this Saturday! Here's a quick run-through on what you can expect from the 2nd BU Bazaar:

1. More bloggers have been added to the line up. Expect big bloggers such as the ultra-glamorous and fabulous Divine Lee and the artistic and fashionable siblings, Daryl & Andre Chang. Cebu-based bloggers have also confirmed their participation and I'm so excited to be reunited with them!

2. A bigger venue to accommodate more food stalls, readers and shoppers! The 2nd BUB will be held in Treston International College located at University Parkway District, 32nd Street corner C-5 Road, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila Phillipines.

3. Amazing performances from Walkie Talkies (Raleene Cabrera) and Reese and Vica! (There will also be an open mic @ 7pm...so to anyone who wants to have fun and belt out, display your singing skills on Saturday!)

4. Tons of shoes and clothes (such as blazers & jackets, dresses, high-waist shorts and skirts) from our booth on Saturday! Do come early so that you can have first dibs on these items! Please bring your own shopping bags as well. Let's all help the environment!

5. Exciting contests wherein you can win amazing prizes! Here are some of them:

a. Nina Ricci "Sunday Girl" Videoke Challenge (at 2PM)

- Guests and bloggers can join. The challenge? Just sing the theme song of the perfume, "Sunday Girl" by Florrie
- Video link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjhhNej3Se8 
- Prizes: 80ml bottles of Nina Ricci Elixir for 3 people! 

b) Rio Mints Pick-a-Prize! Just pick out from the bunch and you just might get lucky! 

c) Multiply will be giving LOTS of GCs for on-the-spot online shopping. Valid only throughout the event! 

Of course, the Blogger's United Bazaar will not be possible if it weren't for the generous sponsors who so generously agreed to help out.
