Fashion: Samsung Alter Ego Fashion Show | Forever 21

That's me internalizing Rachel Zoe. I get dead serious whenever I style people, especially during Samsung's Alter Ego fashion show.

I worked with two models, Rochelle from UA&P and actor/dancer Rodjun Cruz. I used clothes from Forever 21 (where I spent the entire day choosing clothes). The show was suppose to be of fashion bloggers but I think most of my usual mates were either busy or are cocooning.



This is my look number two on Rochelle. I would die for this immaculate outfit, I chose all whites and used an intricate bib necklace of pearls and lace. All from Forever 21.

My look number 2 for Rodjun. Inspiration: construction worker + sexy.



Rodjun is so game. I didn't know he actually flashed his abs which I requested him to do behind the stage.



I didn't win. Can you believe it? just kidding! I wish someone snapped a photo of my "daring look". Thank you to my friend Alex Dizon for sharing the photos on Facebook :)

Fashionably Stressed! x Thigh High Boots

Today's outfit with the mission to pull out clothes at Forever 21 for Samsung's fashion show.

I was in the mall at 10AM and almost won the early bird award.



In between picking out items and hanging them on my designated rack, eager shoppers couldn't resist pulling out from my selection. No one guarded my rack except for a helpless paper with my name on it, so...



At 12nn I was still pretending to be a stylist, but took a break and had Beef Gyudon lunch at Bubble Tea.

2PM I finally completed my set, I asked the staff to kindly secure my items by bringing them inside but she said she will already need to list everything, that no one will pull out an item because it had the piece of paper, etc.



After my super short trip to the loo, lo and behold - two outfits complete with tops, bottoms, and accessories were already missing just like our garden planter! Imagine me panicking and the staff trying to say no one picked any items from the rack. But I am sure they were complete before I left because I have been working on them for hours!

Later on she apologized about how she could not guard the items because she was minding the register too and how shoppers should have gotten from my selection. Haaayyyy. It was a nightmare, I wanted to cry.

I have more I want to tell (like how the staff asked me, "pati yung pang mens isusuot niyo po?" and how different sums came up everytime she compute the items that I had to bring in and out items to my rack).

But those aside, *I think* I enjoyed. I mean compared to my olden office days, I'd rather face clothes for hours than memos, payrolls, reading about planters etc. And I'd rather be at Forever 21.

My set would walk the runway at Megamall's Atrium in the afternoon, there are models and I won't be wearing the clothes I selected. Most definitely I won't wear men's clothing.

Heard there will also be a prize for the best stylist? but as early as now, I do not expect to win, I believe I won't, and contests make me feel awkward. This entry is actually part of me feeling awkward.

Now off to earn dollars from window box planters.

Fashion: Which Shoe Did it Best?

Went around today, I needed inspiration. My style is boring me. So I braved a tight black skirt (I call it skinny skirt) which I got from my recent visit to Penshoppe. Also I had to buy a blouse with a sequined shoulder. 2 days worth of not eating rice was useful.




A. Outfit with flat stringed black shoes



B. Outfit with giant gray wedges

I always lug around flat shoes in case I need to run, or walk a mile. Everyday is a surprise.

Get Invites to the Forever 21 Exclusive Party by Purchasing Forever 21 Gift Cards Now!

Forever 21 made 2010 a super hyped year in terms of retail. Eversince Forever 21 opened its doors to fans who used to ask friends and relatives from the US to buy Forever 21 items for them, the store never had an empty fitting room.



And then they opened a Facebook Fan Page which connected them to more shopaholics even more.

Now before the year ends, Forever 21 has launched the best idea for Christmas gifts:



Forever 21 Gift Cards!



These are also your passes for a very exclusive thanksgiving party by Forever 21 at Members Only (The Fort). Get an invite to the party by purchasing P5,000 worth of Gift Cards before November 20 5 p.m. Special gift packs will also be given to the first 100 attendees.

Invites are limited, so I hope you can visit the store this weekend. Only cash and debit card payments for gift card purchases will be honored.

Now you know, see you there! :D

Fashion: Audrey Hepburn shirt from Forever 21

I want to scream! it is grey and it has Lola Audrey on it!

Will be homebased until Monday (I hope), for sure by the time I get to Forever 21 - this will be gone. sob sob.

New Arrivals at Forever 21

I was browsing my Facebook and saw Forever 21's page has been updated with their new arrivals. Here are some I like and want to buy, oh Santa Claus!



reminds me of Lanvin



and I want this as my pambahay, Paris!



simple but preppy



and more ribbons!

I want to cry OR head to Forever 21. Photos from the Forever 21 Philippines Facebook page

Forever 21 Skirt

The mad dash to Forever 21 is starting to slow down but while everyone was still lining up to shop, I wore this skirt I got during the store's opening.



Sorry I have no proper outfit photo :( Beside me on the right is mommy blogger Pehpot, here we are at the Parentin.TV anniversary.

Forever 21 has lots of layered skirts to choose from including tutus. I want to buy a tutu but I am not sure if it will suit me as a new mom?


How to change diapers in style

My husband took a photo of me while I was joining a contest of who changes diapers fastest (and most fashionably). I won! :)

Style Scene: Forever 21 VIP Launch

It was my super lucky day and I got to squish myself in the massive A-listers inside the new and first ever Forever 21 shop in the Philippines. Inside SM Megamall, shoppers were so excited their wallets are shaking in fear!



Yet, I was greeted by affordable accessories and I love how I am one of the firsts to get the first dibs :) There are so many looks or themes at Forever 21, certainly one is the love of ribbons inspired by Louis Vuitton.


Ribbon love! <3>

I got two accessories and one piece of clothing but will make it secret first :)

I went with my little fashionista baby boy Ash and explained to the 1 month old how Forever 21 has chiffons, laces, studs, and knits all under one roof. Super happy with their stocks and pricing, and did you know that you can use your SM Advantage cards here to earn points? I did!

Again, here's the style scene from my camera phone:

With beauty bloggers Nikki and Shen (thank you girl!)

Fashionistas were all going gaga and I had to leave right away after paying for my shopping haul, me and Ash might get squished! :) Forever 21 is officially opening on July 2, find them at Mega A in SM Megamall.

Forever 21 Accessories - Eiffel Tower set and Canary Cocktail Ring

My most awaited Forever 21 accessories are here! Thank you Tita Dulce who bought them at Forever 21 shop somewhere in Chicago.

It's easy to browse the Forever 21 site and select one of a kind pieces like these. I heard they already ship to the Philippines but I find it more convenient when relatives abroad send them over :)

I didn't know that the Eiffel Tower necklace came with earrings. I am thinking of converting the two earrings into two more pendants that I can give to my niece and my sister who also likes to go to Paris.

Jewelry Obsession: Bib Necklaces and Cocktail Rings

Do you get restless when you see something and you just have to have it? I do! And these pieces are the culprit:



Last week, my penchant for costume jewelry was awakened when I saw someone wearing this set. It was made by hand but it's only a hobby so they are not selling (yet).


Forever 21 Bib Necklace

I looked up everything online and found these pieces from Forever 21. I don't think they offer shipping to the Philippines and most likely, one has to pre-order from Multiply sellers. But obsession is not called obsession for nothing so I am scheduling a trip to the flea markets to find alternative pieces that would have the same or even better effect on an outfit.

Forever 21 Cocktail Rings

There are Forever 21 shops in Manila but I am not sure if they are the same as the international brand or if, they carry these accessories. Do you have any ideas or know someone who are selling these eye-popping jewelry? Let us know and the heavens will bless you! :)
