I'm styling a men's shoot for top Cebu fashion photographer Hannah Bacalla again this weekend and I'm looking for sudden bursts of inspiration all over the place. Hannah wants to do a James Dean-inspired shoot, and while I know what to do and look for peg-wise, I just can't help but keep on ogling for more and more shots of Jethro Cave. Totally the...
Yves Identify assymetrical dress, Gold Dot Alfreda wedges. photo by Hazel Pax My best (?!) attempt at something really fruity colored and girly came in the form of this dress. When push comes to shove and I really really have to (i had to for a fashion show gala), expect for me to still kick it...with booties. Wore this during Wafer Models Philippines'...
what you get from a typical enjoy card set Let's all face it: as much as most of us yuppies wish to stash away most of our hard-earned money into our bank accounts, we can't really get by without going out and blowing a lot of it off on partying, shopping, dining out, and everything else that makes us kind of happy.

"I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom." -Jim Morrison Just felt like posting this shot solo. Styled during my hosting gig for Cookout 2011.

stunning shot of Wafer Model Ash by Prem Ananda Woot woot woot! Thank you so much to Ms. Kara Mae Noveda, our old college schoolmate-turned-head editrix of Sunstar Cebu's Shopping Bag, for this lovely, lovely spread on the luxe seventies-resort inspired photoshoot that I did with my collaborators for Yves' Gomabella collection. Dubbed "Seventies Siren", Kara encapsulated the feel of the era and the...
wearing a thrifted button down shirt, thrifted satchel, Body English vest, shorts from Penshoppe, Gucci belt, platforms from Gold Dot Quick tidbit: I used to dress up like such a prep way back in college. And no, not even a chic prep but a totally dowdy looking one. We didn't have to wear uniforms in UP but I wore a white button-up, argyle...
embellished two-tone gown from Rei Escario, gifted faux croc-finish clutch, Balmain-ish shoes from GoJane I never really get the chance to wear truly beautiful, embellished, sparkly clothes not just because of preference but because I really don't have much of that to go around with in the first place. A simple dig around my closet reveals option after option of black, gray, and...
me and Hazel Pax... working wonders during the interview day I've been writing for quite a long time, but still, I can't begin to describe just how surreal it felt seeing my work printed in a Manila-based glossy. It just felt like the power pep talks I've always had to give to my own self whenever life felt futile somewhat worked when I...

I don't want to jinx anything because it's in...
