FashBiz is an event that reinvents fashion as the perfect business opportunity. It will promote fashion as a business-oriented profession while showcasing the latest trends from the country’s leading fashion brands and online shops.

Appreciatively, they invited me to be one of their guest speakers!!! :) My blogger friend, David Guison, will be there as well!

Two-Tone

As celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe put it, “Like a loyal friend that you can always count on, an all-black ensemble is an indispensable weapon in one’s wardrobe arsenal.”

The owners of Fashion Fruit and High Style Fancy really knows my style. The dress and the pair of shoes they gave me are the quintessence of glamorous punk! Thank you so much! :)

Balmain Pre-Fall 2012

Balmain will always be one of my favorite luxury brands. I personally adore the brand’s new designer Olivier Rousteing for his sense of enthusiasm, boldness, for his innovative taste as well as for staying true to the brand’s aesthetic. I can’t believe he is only 26 years old!

Props also to his predecessor, Christophe Decarnin, and to the founder of the Parisian fashion house, Pierre Balmain! Once a badass, always a badass. I love Balmain forever! <3

Purrrfect

Who said cell phone cases are boring? Check out this Leopard Rhinestone Bling Hard Case from Cases for Your Gadgets! There’s no need to sacrifice fashion over function. You can definitely have both! :)

Keep your phone free from scratches and scuffs by buying a quality cell phone case like this one. CFYG offers a wide range of products to choose from. They also have cases for BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Bold, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPad, iPad 2, iPod, and Samsung, among others.

I absolutely love my new Blackberry Bold case because it totally screams my style! No one can deny the truth that gadgets reflect one’s personality.

Not to mention, it is lightweight and durable!

My new case matches my current nail polish and wallpaper (Mary Kate Olsen). Special thanks to Chrisma for this! xx

Haute Combo

Wore this chiffon, leatherette and lace number to a day full of errands. As you’ve probably noticed, I’m always drawn to dark colors. I bet you’re wondering how I manage to wear dark clothing in a tropical country.  Well, here’s a tip — with darker stuff, sheer fabrics reign!

I made this top! :) It consists of two fabrics (a printed chiffon and a solid black chiffon) and it features a single breast pocket. It’s part of my soon-to-be-released clothing line!

P.S. Before I log out and study for an exam tomorrow, I’d like to greet everyone a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! xx

Nail It!

Everyone is very busy. I’m busy, you’re busy. It’s a whole society. I have a lot of things on my plate, but here’s the thing — I actually like the feeling of being busy! I am a full-time student, I do my plates and assignments, I am a freelance fashion designer, stylist, writer and illustrator, I go out with my family and friends, I do my chores as a daughter and as a sister, I attend fashion events, and most importantly, I run this blog. Haha! Whilst I enjoy being busy, or rather I would say productive, I am also a person who needs downtime. I was very stressed the other day, so I decided to spend some “me time” to get away from the hectic merry-go-round we call life and take some time to relax.

I took a short break from school work and went to Nail It!’s Rosa Alvero branch (Unit 2A J&R Con Con Building, Rosa Alvero St., Loyola Heights, Quezon City). I love the location because it’s a ten-minute ride from my place. Good thing Nail It! has two branches in Katipunan! The other branch is located at Esteban Abada (Unit 106 Loyola Heights Condo, Fabian dela Rosa St. Cor Esteban Abada, Quezon City).

Don’t let the small space fool you, Nail It! takes the business of nail care very seriously. With a laid-back ambiance full of comfortable couches and pillows, they make their clients feel totally relaxed and cozy.

They’ve got experienced, courteous and efficient staff! They make sure that their customers are very well taken cared of.

The manicurist’s hands were so gentle, I enjoyed the hand spa!

I really love having my nails done. I also remember having a collection of various candy colored nail polish back in high school. You might say that this is vanity, but hey! Our hands and feet deserves all the pampering from all the hard work they have done!

The manicurist applied the Orly Everything’s Rosy polish so well!

After applying polish on my nails, the masseuse gave me a head massage and a back massage. I told the masseuse that I love back massages the most, so it was a nice touch that my masseuse decided to massage my back a lot longer than it was supposed to be. At the end of it, I felt much improved! Can you imagine how much better I would have felt if I’d gotten the full massage?

They only use Orly nail polish! They dry fast, they don’t streak, and they wear evenly without chipping! Moreover, the colors are gorgeous!

I’m excited for my next visit to Nail It! salon! I can’t wait to try their Nail Art!

I like their slew of services — manicure and pedicure, paraffin treatments, hand and foot spas, stress relief massage and eyelash extensions. And did I mention that their prices are oh-so-affordable?! Imagine having a Traditional Manicure or Pedicure with Polish and Nail It’s Signature Foot Spa for only PhP 550!

So what are you waiting for? Go to your nearest Nail It! branch (Loyola Heights Condominium Esteban Abada, Rosa Alvero, Better Living Subdivision Bicutan, Connecticut Arcade Greenhills, Glorietta 3, Pearl Drive, and Rockwell Business Center) now for your well-deserved pampering!

Visit their website at www.nail-it-salon.com to view the complete list of services with prices. Don’t forget to like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for updates! :)

Thank you, Nail It!!!! <3

Of Fashion, Instagram and UPCAT

It’s been a while since I posted an illustration. I took this via Instagram (@tiniglesias). My Fashion Merchandising professor required us to create a fashion sketch of our mock product line. Speaking of school, this year’s UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test) results are already out!

As I’ve mentioned on Twitter, congratulations to those who passed the UPCAT!!! Hello sa mga bagong Iskolar ng Bayan! Passing the exam is one of the easy parts of being a UP student. As people say, “Passing the UPCAT is one thing, surviving in UP is another.” It’s going to be really tough, but I’m sure you will have a lot of fun as well. Please continue uplifting the pride of the Philippines! :)

If you didn’t pass the UPCAT, or didn’t get your first choice, then it’s not the end of the world. There are other ways you can enter UP if you’re really craving to be an Isko or Iska. I didn’t get my first choice (I’m actually a transferee student from UST Fine Arts), but I was really determined to shift courses and study in UP Diliman. Look where I am now! ;) Trust me when I say that everything will work out in the end.
