thrifted neon-painted gillet, tankdress from Morgan, assorted accessories, bag from Parisian, Bena wedges from Gold Dot. I kind of panic when I'm told to wear something more colorful. I really tend to shy away from print-heavy or color-heavy trends because I don't really know how to pull it off. My hair, of course, is an entirely different story. Let's just say that's where...
Corrective cosmetic line Dermablend is reminding everyone to "go beyond the cover" featuring the truly sexy Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest. In an ad stint that is sure to go viral, Rico is covered in layer after layer of industrial-strength Dermablend tattoo primer and concealer, only to wipe it off and get stripped off again in time-lapse. It can't get any sexier than that. It...
cream silk and satin gillet from Mental, top from E-vie, skirt from Penshoppe, shoes gifted from the US, mixed media necklace from Aizylym Some of you guys have been asking why I haven't posted too many outfit shots lately. Aside of course from the obvious lack of time, I don't really step out during the weekdays (unless I have a project/meeting) because I...

...party in the back. haha! backless LBD with tassel hem, Soiree (to buy from SM), DIY tassel necklace, assorted accessories, Figliarina shoes.
I hope you guys hooked on to the blogosphere are doing great. I quietly shied away from the realm for a whole week myself to patch some figurative wounds and get over a mild case of emotional wreckage. Now moving forward and returning with some serious blogging. I missed all of you!
Not too long ago, I received an invite from Campaigns CEBU to attend an intimate launch for Groupon Philippines in Maya. For those yet to visit the site, Groupon.ph features daily deals by means of discount vouchers usable in hundreds of local establishments in the city and in the country. From restaurants, bars, hotel accomodations, as well as pampering and travel services, Groupon houses a long list of clientele with discounts of up to 50, sometimes 80% off. As I have bought a few vouchers from the site myself I couldn't wait to check their party out.
Well-attended by local bloggers and media practitioners alike, everybody got to go overboard on Maya's truly sensational mojitos and tapas while hearing more about the Groupon structure. It was fun, really light, and all the more informative. On top of that, we all got P500 Groupon credit just for confirming attendance. Really sweet.
I also got to wear the "business in front, party in the back" dress that I bought sometime ago. I keep some LBDs and other dresses for certain functions I need to tone down for--but oh well. Non-boring event, non-boring dress. Haha.
For some of the best deals in and around the city, check out Groupon.ph today!
