I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my friend and fellow fashion blogger Philip of the The Fourth Kid and his entire Mass Communications class in the University of San Jose-Recoletos for having me as their guest speaker during their workshop/talk on the highs and lows of the local acting scene. I'm not a professional actor, but acting is somewhat my left hand passion (whereas fashion is my right hand--no biases, both realms are loved equally) and it's a key part of who I am. I don't exactly expect national fame, prestige, or money (especially that, lol) with my occasional stints in acting, and more people might know me more as a girl who hosts occasionally and keeps a fashion blog, but the few friends who have worked with me as an actor knows the level of passion I give to it, perks or no perks. THESPIAN went really well, and it was great to have an audience that was genuinely interested to hear my humble adventures as an actor. You kids were great! Thank you again.

For my talk I wanted to wear something a bit more dressy but still had a lot of my personality, so I went with this ensemble with its pops of color (I've been wearing more of that lately!). Also, I'd like to apologize beforehand if you'll see me a lot in this Mango blazer-- I guarantee that it will be a repeat offender in my outfit posts. I will literally live in this gorgeous blazer if I can. Haha.

Thank you for stopping by! I'll be returning your comments asap xx
