Starbucks Cheer Party - Stories are Gifts, Share!

Every year, I know it's Christmas time whenever I get my invitation for the Starbucks Cheer Party. It's always the first Christmas party I attend and last year, they also celebrated on November 3 - same date I found out I was preggers :)

Now like Starbucks, I have more things to be grateful for - including this Starbucks 2011 Planner *evil grin*


And these newly baked holiday ginger based cookies and pastries you can enjoy this yuletide season with your favorite houseblend.



At every Starbucks Cheer Party, patrons and guests are offered unlimited tastes of Starbucks pastries. Among all the things I ate, I highly recommend this:



White Chocolate Berry Cookie



Because these polar bear ginger bread cookies are too cute to eat

I enjoyed taste-testing the pastries with a hot Toffe Nut drink which is only available during Christmas Tree season. It tastes like coffee blended with chocolate bars. It's already sweet so you may want to choose a not-so sugary pastry with this.



Other holiday drinks that are now brewing include: Praline Mocha and Peppermint Mocha

Choose your weapon to deal with this heavenly Almond Roca cake. My sister and I used to fight over bars of Almond Roca, if she was here I'll give her a box of this. A whole cake costs aroun Php 1,100 ++. Give this to your female boss *wink*


Almond Roca Cheesecake



Would you believe this? Cookie dough + Cheesecake!

The Starbucks Cheer Party was even better than last year just because of this:



Wacky photo wall complete with accessories by Pose and Print. Here's me with bloggers Fran and Rowena.



Last year, Azrael won a blue Bearista for the little boy. This year, I won a kiddie tumbler! Perfect as his school jug once he goes to prep. heehee :)

There will be more Starbucks Cheer Party! This was just the first, held at Ayala 6750. I will post the upcoming cheer parties and which branch they will happen here. Stay tuned!

Philippine Fashion Week 2010: Penshoppe Has Arrived!

Penshoppe has arrived! *applause, applause* most brands have reinvented themselves and one brand we all grew up with, Penshoppe - has revealed its new direction with aspiring outfits that say sexy - sophisticated.

From the looks of the runway, the Holiday and Summer Collection of Penshoppe is inspired by travel, and Paris. First elements to walk down the runway are sequined tops, skirts, and sequined shorts which I have seen for the first time. Thank you very much Penshoppe.

Here are some exceptional ensembles from the collection:

Shiny Sequins

Still, Military inspired Overcoats

Flirty and Preppy Skirts

Noted how Penshoppe used scarves as head accessories. I wish I learn how to tie scarves around the head, the right way.

This collection makes me want to pack my luggage and travel. What do you think?

Style Scene: At Fashion Week

Stefan, me, and Mikhael

Mikhael is Toxicdiscoboy now he has a shop called Paradigm Shift, so proud of you! :) I hope to see your creations on the runway soon.

I met young Stefan near the registration and he also plans to start a fashion blog soon.



They also have a cool friend in red - Gelo Arucan, He carries a treasure chest in silver. cute!



Last night, just got in time for Penshoppe. Lucky I always spot my blogger friends - Earth who's been living in SMX and Iris who is lovestruck. That's me wishing I was as thin as the mow-dels.

Philippine Fashion Week 2010: Oxygen Runway

Photos from the Oxygen Philippine Fashion Week 2010 runway.


Created with flickr slideshow from softsea.
The message is clear - mid drifts are back and flat tummies are in. Goodbye rice! I guess deconstructed style is flowing towards the mainstream now. Yet Oxygen knows how to do it right, some labels might still be playing safe with just twitches of elements from this style such as uneven cuts, over-sized fabric, and sharp layers.

Oxygen also showed the new way to wear their accessories. Made of small links but alas, more stylish and versatile to wear. I like it as sleeves for the sleeveless shoulder. See more about it on the slideshow.

Photos taken by my husband Azrael Coladilla.

Fashion: Parisian Fashion Week

I said I won't go to any Philippine Fashion Week Show this year because of the hectic schedule. But then, a ticket landed on my hands for the SM Department Store's and Parisian Shoes' Fashion Show. I couldn't resist.




Wore this gray outfit. I knew everyone would be dressed to kill but just to be different - chose a simple dress.

Thank you to my sister Liza who took the wacky photo. We were just so giddy about the clothes and shoes :)

I love the department store and almost all my shoes are Parisian.



In fact, here is my newest pair. Tonight was their first day out, and to the Parisian shoes fashion show where their brothers and sisters walked the runway.

I'll come back with the runway report. The fashion show gave me lots of ideas on how to mix and match in house brands of SM Department Store. I die!
