Create Your Ultimate Space
We’ve all heard the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” I would argue however, that in many cases, they are worth even more than that. It’s amazing to me the knowledge that can be conveyed by a simple image. I am a highly visual person and have always been. I have always loved creating things that reflect my personality, including drawing, painting and putting stickers...

Fashion Illustration Workshop
I got invited to talk/host a workshop about fashion illustration for Ateneo Women’s Week. They told me that I can invite someone to speak alongside me so it will be easier. Who else would I tap? None other than my brain twin, Rj Santos! Like me, he’s a former Fine Arts student at the University of Santo Tomas. Currently, we’re both taking up Clothing Technology at the...

See-through
Earlier today, I attended the 6th forum of the Association of Image Consultants International (the leading and largest professional association and corporate image consultants worldwide) at the Raffles Design Institute-Manila. The Art + Science of Image forum was basically an introduction to the image business: how it impacts the world and propels businesses to greater heights, how to harness the...

Put Your Paws Up
Animal prints seem to never go out of style. The jungle has moved on the fashion runways and the streets. For this look, I chose a more simple style by using one leopard print clothing piece - a blazer made by the photographer of this photo set, Rj Santos! Remember that leopard print works great with black and leather, and when going for a dark ensemble, add pops of color into your outfit with...

Diverse City
Just a quick post to show you what I wore to the Robinsons Department Store 2012 Beauty Fair earlier today! Now I’m off to Makati for UP JMA’s Divercity Fashion Show. My org, UP ACTS, is one of the co-presentors of the event. Last month, we styled the outfits for their pubmats and we’re going to style and showcase some of our designs for the fashion show later! I can’t wait...

Ruching
The day after my shopping trip at Seventeen, I immediately wore some of the pieces I shopped for due to excitement! That’s normal, right? Haha! I attended a fashion event wearing this outfit. I figured that it was the perfect day to debut my new blazer, dress, bracelets, and bag (courtesy of my Cinderella family). :)
Adding a sleek blazer to an outfit instantly adds a bit of chicness...

Shopping at Seventeen
No, I’m not 17 years old. I’m talking about the fashion retail brand, Seventeen! Hahaha. It’s a hip and young house brand of Cinderella Marketing Corporation. They have clothes from casual to dressy, targeted mainly at teens and young adults, specifically for ages between 15 and 21 — glad to know that I still belong to this age group! ;)
Back in November...

Plush Velvet Hearts
This is what I wore out to lunch and some afternoon shopping with my mom last Sunday. I decided to wear red since it’s almost Valentine’s! :) We had lunch at La Piadina La Cucina Regionale Italiana in Glorietta and the food was delicious! On our shopping trip, I picked up a dress, a blazer, a top, a pair of jeans, and some accessories from Seventeen. I will share my latest finds in my...

Pampanga Weekend
My blockmates and I were (and are) very busy with class discussions, pattern making and sewing last Friday, so everyone was stoked to take a little break from school work and go to The 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Pampanga. We arrived at Jamie’s house in San Fernando just in time for dinner, and were greeted by the lovely food prepared by Jamie’s mom and...

Coachella Vibe
Yesterday, I went to the 17th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta held in Clarkfield, Clark Zone, Pampanga. It was my first time to attend the festival, and I was so happy that it had a Coachella vibe because of its location, the several tents set-up throughout the grounds, the food vendors, and the scorching heat!
I haven’t been to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival of course, but I’ve seen...

Ciao, Donatella!
Last Monday, I had a fun shoot with my awesome friend/blockmate Rj Santos! Hover over the link to check out his amazing photographs, designs and illustrations. He is very knowledgeable, patient, hilarious and comfortable to be around! I felt totally at ease while working with him and he makes looking good in front of the camera much easier. I definitely recommend anyone to work with him! :)

UP ABAM's FashBiz
As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, I was invited by UP ABAM (Association of Business Administration Majors) to be one of their guest speakers for their event called FashBiz.
Before going to the event, I took a photo of myself using the highly addictive Instagram. If you have an Instagram, add me @tiniglesias! Oh and please excuse the vanity. Hahaha! :)

Dress for Success
This is what I wore to the FashBiz event held at my school last Saturday. I was invited to be one of UP ABAM’s guest speakers so I knew I had to dress the part. One of the essential public speaking skills is presentation, and it begins visually. So, before going on stage, be sure that you are dressed for success and that you present an air of professionalism! After all, people are coming to...

Herringbone
Sorry about the lack of blog posts – midterms have just ended and I have finally gotten a chance to breathe!
Just thought I’d share my project for my Pattern, Drafting and Grading 2 class. :) Our topic was menswear, but we were allowed to create a unisex blazer!
Here’s my design. Initially, I wanted to use an earth tone color for the bodice and add piping. But then, I changed my...
