Goth Nomad

(Leather Jacket: Zara// Dress: Paradigm Shift// Wedges: Gold Dot// Collarbone Necklace: OS// Cuff: Ruckus)

As promised, here are the photos from the collabo shoot I had with Anton. Anton currently dabbles in street photography, taking photos of friends and of random breathing souls. I'm not sure if this shoot was his first themed one, but I sure did enjoy doing it with him. It's nice to break away from "outfit" posts once in a while. It's also great to be in the company of people who share the same interests and vision as I do, moreso if they all reside in the same area as where I live (cheers to the South, baby!). When Anton and I were discussing the theme for this shoot, I knew in my head that I wanted to wear this Ornithopter dress from Paradigm Shift. It's such a simple piece but has a tough and sultry whimsy to it. It sure hell looks good with the Drei wedges from Gold Dot too. Now, if this look doesn't project a "Don't you dare mess with me!" 'tude, I don't know what else will.

I'll share another set of photos in the next post! Till then, lovelies! :)

P.S. Thank you once again to Camille Regala for doing my hair and makeup for this shoot. You effin' rock, baby girl! Hell yeahz!

Gold Dot Turns Golden

Gold Dot is finally releasing its special anniversary collection this weekend! I'm excited about this! 

As you can see from the photos, the concept for the new collection is all about "Japan". All of the shoes have wooden platforms which bring to mind Japanese clogs.

There are four designs in the new collection, named after four local bloggers (including yours truly):

"Kookie" Wedges (available in Black & Taupe)

"Lloyda" Mary Jane Platforms (available in Red & Gray)

"Mike" Platforms (available in Gray/Black & Red/Black)

"Karl" Wedges (available in Silver & Black Brocade)

You guys shouldn't miss out on this new collection. Save the dates! July 30-31!

Sheer & Leather

Top: Q Online / Shorts: Oxygen / Boots: Soule Phenomenon / Necklace: Anagon Collection / Cuff: F21 / Assorted Rings

I had a photo shoot last Monday for a feature in the YStyle section of Philippine Star (a top-circulating local newspaper). I arrived at the shoot wearing a fail-safe black ensemble which consisted of a sheer top and faux leather shorts. I was hoping that my JC Litas would arrive a few weeks earlier but since they were a no-show until yesterday, I decided to borrow the Soule Phenomenon lace up boots from my friend Nicole. I really wanted the look of the "Litas" for my shoes because I know it would totally complete the outfit that I came up with for the feature. Other bloggers that are included in the feature are Lissa Kahayon, Hanna Choa Yu of Little Miss Dress Up, Karl Leuterio and Tin Iglesias. I enjoyed the photo shoot so much because I knew most of the bloggers. We were laughing our hearts out the whole time! Our photos were shot by an amazing young photographer (and also a fellow blogger), Tricia Gosingtian.

The YStyle blogger feature will come out tomorrow, Oct. 29. I'll share more details of the shoot on my next post!
