Lee x GetShot x UST
I went to UST (University of Santo Tomas) last Monday and Tuesday to take photos of fashionable and interesting people for GetShot/Lee.
I think most of you already know that I was a former Fine Arts student in UST. It has been two years since I left CFAD (College of Fine Arts and Design) - Advertising Arts, but I still remember everything I had undergone and, of course, my friends!

Fortune Cookie Manila (Part II)
(Fortune Cookie Manila dress, Lanvin for H&M necklace, SM Department Store socks and Forever 21 black pumps)
I just realized more than half of my closet consists of black outfits. I like that it provides me a leaner figure compared to brighter color palettes.
Thanks again to Fortune Cookie Manila for this dress!

Of StyleBreak, RSSI Sale and SuperSale Bazaar
Earlier today, I went to StyleBreak’s showroom in Eastwood to pick up my order from Laureen Uy.
Laureen co-owns StyleBreak and happens to be the younger sister of celebrity stylist Liz Uy. Apparently, fashion runs in their blood.
Their photo wall is awesome!
StyleBreak has a good mix of clothes from dainty, classic, trendy and edgy. Not to mention everything is affordable!

I'm Sky High
I love my newly purchased Suleika wedges from Soule Phenomenon. These shoes are amazingly high, but are super comfortable. I love the added and much needed height it gives me!
I paired it with my rib cage shirt and Givenchy S/S 2010 inspired blazer from H&M, shorts from Platinum Fashion Mall, Bangkok, accessories from Forever 21 and brandless football socks (Oh yes, I used to...

Danica Magpantay is set to leave this week for the 2011 Ford Models Supermodel of the World in New York.

Photo Diary: Christmas Break
Christmas party with my friends since 7th grade in Miriam/MC
My best friend’s older sister prepared several games for us and one of which was Pinoy Henyo. Thank you, Ate Denise!
After Pinoy Henyo, our barkada was divided into two groups and we were told to create a dress using a toilet tissue roll in less than 10 minutes. We weren’t allowed to use glue, tape, trims, and the...

I know, another shoe entry. I just can’t get enough of shoes! Meet my new babies.
Soule Phenomenon
Forever 21
Asian Vogue
SM Parisian
Yesterday, I got bored in class so I drew these branded shoes.
The background color of my professor’s PowerPoint lecture triggered me to doodle these as it was too bright and it hurt my eyes.
Define obsession. I would like to do...

Pantene
So the shampoo I was talking about in my previous post was Pantene! I knew it! 91% of Asian women preferred the brand in a blind test; I guess you could count me in as someone who trusts the brand, as well.
It is necessary that we take adequate care of our hair. I am really glad for the existence of the totally renewed Pantene as it can certainly help retain the beauty of our charming cascade!...

Tatie's Photojournalism Project
Two students from UST went to my house sometime last December to take pictures of my stuff and interview me as a requirement for one of their major subjects in CFAD (College of Fine Arts and Design). They were told to write an article about something they’re interested in and clearly, Tatie chose me as her topic. Below are some of the pictures they took:
I wore my recently purchased...
