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.

Lunch with Samsung Galaxy S5 @ Damaso

My friend, O of Samsung sent us a surprise invitation for a lunch out at Greenbelt 5. I am a sucker for anything Greenbelt 5, I just love the silence and peace (also the underground parking).

Now I also like this Ostrich Steak from Damaso where we ate.



Intimate dinners and lunches are starting to crawl up to our calendars because Christmas is coming soon. Time for thanksgiving for brands' success like Samsung's past product launches.

In between bites, we played with the latest Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S5. Different apps are so fun to play with, we lost ourselves in an app where a pussy cat mimics your voice and talks after you.



More than a techie Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is packed with fun that's fit fo the new "it" lifestyle. I think I can use one for entertaining this Little Sir.

You can download different applications in the Samsung Store, this lady called Rain has spent thousands of pesos downloading them. No wonder she's Samsung's Tech Product go to Girl.


Rain likes to download apps all the time!

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is also wide and touch screen. I can easily think it is an iPhone but of course it's not. We tried the phone's built in camera and I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars. I am not so much into downloading applications but taking photos and surfing via mobile, all of that the Samsung Galaxy S5 delivers, plus - a stylish looking mobile accessory with its sleek black design.



I have one tip for those who will download applications. They should be downloaded directly onto the phone and not be saved via the SD memory card. We did that with the talking cat and it just stalled, if you download other apps directly then you won't have any problems and run each of them smoothly :)

Event: Meet Sam Milby and Matteo Guidicelli

Later today at SM Megamall, 2PM to 6PM. And do not forget your Samsung Champ! Click on the poster for more details :)

Patrice Ramos-Diaz at Face Off

Continuing my blog series on the Face Off fashion show sponsored by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Samsung's 3D LED, here are the creations of renowned bridal fashion designer Patrice Ramos-Diaz.



The entire collection was pure femininity. Soft fabrics, light colors, light movement, everything was pretty. I am not sure if it was chiffon fabric used in the skirts and dresses as Patrice Ramos-Diaz is known for using indigenous materials for her work. But whatever fabric it was, it sure fits the woman's figure and movement. It is this element of the clothes that add the right amount of softness. It sure was a breath of fresh air from all the sharp cuts and shapes seen in the earlier parts of the show.


Soft in black

Aside from flowy dresses and skirts, pieces in shimmering fabric also made their way to the runway. This time, the pieces are closer to the body to show off a woman's figure.


Goddess-like pieces from Patrice Ramos-Diaz

Face Off presents Ivarluski Aseron

The recent face off did not feature just two but four highly renowned Filipino designers including Ivarluski Aseron.



This was my first time seeing Aseron's work ramp down the runway and if I may attempt to do a commentary, the collection was a feast of different necklines fused into a contrast of sharp and soft silhouttes.



Deep v-necks that sophisticatedly show off the woman's cleavage take the shape of men's vests that radiate Aseron's signature edgy peek-a-boo style.


The cut out skirt reminds me of paper dolls

The runway was also filled with Aseron's geometrical shapes and cut-outs close to the body. Sexy and powerful. Pieces were in black, grey, and white shades of soft yet sharply cut fabrics.



All in all Ivarluski showed 20 pieces that somehow came out of the new Samsung 3D TV.

I was thinking of meeting my idol designer face to face and doing an interview but some say, never meet your heroes and admiration from afar is the best as it can get x.x



It could never be more fashionable than this and so we thank Samsung for supporting another successful round of Face Off to celebrate lifestyle and creativity. And of course for the front seats! :)

Up next is Patrice Ramos-Diaz at Face Off, hold on for another fashionably intoxicating style post.

Inside one of Oakwood's premiere rooms, StyleandRelax.net experienced first hand how the new Samsung LED TVs can give a totally new meaning for personal and family entertainment.




Simulating a normal home, the Samsung LED TVs were positioned in the activity area, bedrooms, and even inside bathrooms! It is very easy to imagine owning an LED TV as technological as this.
