Rest in Peace Alexander McQueen 1969 -2010

I hate this moment. I'm not a very good writer, i just express the exact words on my mind but this is one of the very moments I wish i had the talent to type down amazing fruitful phrases for a true genius. Genius that is Alexander McQueen.

I was waiting for my boyfriend to get ready for his work so that I can go to bed after a long day of processing my requirements for my new job. However, my heavy sleepy eyes widened with shock and disbelief. I was reading an entry from Chuvaness and I thought maybe it's an April Fool's Day joke but its not April yet. World renowned British fashion designer & fashion icon Alexander McQueen died. News online said he committed suicide. He was just 40.

I refuse to believe the news so I try to google more information on this but as i keep on clicking my heart continuously breaks into pieces. He is really gone.

Again what others say is true, you only see some of the greatest things a person had done when he's already gone. I wasn't really much of a fan of his outrageous creations because I'm more, let's say simple, uncomplicated and quite plain in terms of style but his works amaze me. Perhaps, the only time that i really opened my eyes to Alexander McQueen was when Lady Gaga strutted his "lobster-claw shoes" in her video Bad Romance. I truly regret not having to express much admiration to his extraordinary talent while he was still with us. Nevertheless, his creations will live with us for eternity.

Thank you Alexander McQueen for giving us something to "whoa" about, for giving us such jaw-dropping ensemble ever to hit the runway and thank you for always keeping us wondering and making us look forward to your ever show and ALWAYS deliver above expectations.

Fashion in my generation is not the same without you. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper for Mac Viva Glam

I first about Lady Gaga being Mac's new Viva Glam endorser through a free MAC workshop i attended (the perks of lending my face to make-up students like Carla) facilitated by Mikee. If you're wondering who he is, well she, she's one of the talented make-up artist you'll find at the Mac store in Glorietta and i'm telling you it's really hard to miss her.

Anyway, I'd love to try the lipsticks these divas made, bubble gum pink and light coral red from Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper respectively.

Oh and last, share lang. Did you know that in exchange for 6 empty Mac make up cannisters or bottles, containers or whatever you'll receive a free lipstick of your choice! Mac says its a way of saying thanks to their lovely sukis.

Updates!

Lets start with the obvious, I got a new layout! I've decided to lose the old complicated one because no one can comment or view my previous entries. I didn't want to let go of the old layout because it was just so simple yet pretty but this new one is not so bad. Thanks to my brother who helped me with the banner.

One more thing is I'M ALREADY EMPLOYED! Yes, after 3 months of searching for something so that I can put food on the table (more like to put more clothes in the closet haha). Compared to my previous jobs, I'm now officially in retail which is where I kind of where I want to be since I would like to pursue fashion.

So bye bye now to insomiac nights and countless hours online. TIME TO WORK!

Jessica Biel in Oscar De La Renta

Jessica Biel wore an Oscar De La Renta chiffon gown at the Valentine's Day premiere. I like it a lot and it reminds me so much of Dolce & Gabbana's silk hand painted organza dress, the one another Jessica wore (Jessica Alba) in the cover of InStyle magazine for December 2008.

Grammy's 2010

This is a late post, but better late than never. I just wanted to post who made it to my best-dressed list (kala mo fashion consultant talaga!)

Miley Cyrus in Herve Ledger (so now we all know how to pronounce this)

Jennifer Hudson in Victoria Beckham (this dress makes her look slimmer)


Ciara in Givenchy (me thinks there's gonna be more of sheer gowns in 2010)


And this one from Beyonce, I don't know who made this but i like it so much.

I was neutral on Pink's fish scale gown but she definitely wowed the crowd for her very Cirque du Soleil-ish performance.

Marc Jacobs "Farrah Fawcett Jeans"!

I had an ukay trip to Cubao with a good friend slash "nenok queen" Mitch. In case you don't know, i call her that because the first thing she always does when she comes to my place for a visit is open my closet and look for clothes she can "nenok" (arbor or consider it as hers already).

Anyway, I asked her to join me since i'm not familiar with the ukay stores up north. Ukay in Cubao is alright, i'm not as thrilled as compared to my other ukay adventures because first, some ukay stores there are really huge that you'll just get frustrated because you simply don't know which rack to begin with and second, they already separated the branded ones and ITS EXPENSIVE! Ranging from a thousand to 400PHP.

Anyway, what made our ukay adventure worth it was (and again) finding a designer item. Once again, it's MARC JACOBS! Mitch actually found this one and initially wanted it for her own but luckily its too big for her so she gave it to me! hahahahaha

This pair of high waisted, wide leg jeans reminds me so much of Farrah Fawcett's Charlie's Angels days in the 70's. and I've always pictured me wearing such big jeans with stripes shirt, some sort of nautical.

And and aside from that, i already got a mini handled sewing machine for only 70PHP! hahaha

clips and distressed cutoff jeans

First I just have to say that while writing this, my eyes are totally sleepy so forgive me if i made any mistakes in this entry.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of DIY projects to prepare for a shoot which is by the way cancelled again because of unforeseen circumstances. =( But anyway, i think its a good thing so when the shoot pushes through, all my clothes and accessories are ready.

Anyway, here's my latest DIY accomplishment, from an old pair of jeans to this plus i added thigh high stockings and clipped them on the shorts' pocket. Last night my room mate got home while i was still in the middle of tearing my jeans off and she jokingly said, "Maraming tao ang walang damit, pero si Mars tignan mo sinisira ang damit!"

studded gloves and cutout leggings

Marc Jacobs Embroidered Top: so far my BEST UKAY FIND!

If converted to U.S. Dollars i got this pretty blouse for only $2.72! WINNER!!!
