VENA CAVA: Yes, I keep falling in love with fashion!

VENA CAVA. One of the brands I recently discovered while scanning through the pages of Vogue and Elle. Also the brand that made me realize that yes, it's true, I keep falling in love with fashion, but never fell out of it. Tacky and dramatic as it sounds, it's true. I patiently scan pages of magazines, blogs and sites because I don't think I can ever get enough of how beautiful and inspiring everything is because of people like Lagerfeld, Lanvin, Miuccia and more. I've never felt tired or burned out, unlike others who just do their job and go through the day out of necessity. I just love discovering new artists of fashion! The feeling never gets old (I sound like I'm in a serious relationship with it dont cha think? haha).

Anyway, moving on from my short sentimental banter, I would now like to present VENA CAVA, a brand founded 7-8 years ago (I was unfortunate to know about them just now!) by Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai, who went back to their roots for this Spring/Summer 2012 collection. I find the collection absolutely chic and effortlessly adorable! I'd buy every single piece if I could haha

So, without further adieu.. VENA CAVA Spring/Summer 2012:

This is a strong peg for 2012 I'm sure :)

One Day: Anne Hathaway's Locks

I loved the book, and surprisingly the movie version as well. Not only because it stars my fantasy boyfriend Jim Sturgess, but also my fantasy girlfriend Anne Hathaway, who might I add, look beautiful in all the shots and rocked every hairstyle thrown at her. Which 'do is your favorite? Which one do you think I should have?

GRAFFITI: Expression is not a crime

Had the best time styling for the Ateneo Law fundraiser party "Graffiti: Expression is not a crime." It was truly a night of dance, fashion, free flowing alcohol and straight up fun! Thank you to Glitteratti (Rockwell, Makati), Androgyny (50th Avenue Robinsons Galleria) and more for lending us your clothes for the show! :) We had a blast!

See you in our next fash-capade ;)

Aphrodite

The goddess is in Manila, and she is flooding it with love and music all around.

I am truly one out of the millions who have been inspired by Aphrodite herself, Kylie Minogue. She’s been in the industry for the longest time, and unlike any other artist, she grows even more beautiful with time and never fails to move pavements with her music.

A toast to the queen!
