Postcards for the Holidays

Forgive me for being so late. My work schedule is just too demanding, the reason that catching up is like "buwis-buhay" for me. And yes, I'm so sorry that i have already abused the holidays. Avail! Hahaha! Just right after I arrived home, I had run to our second house to keep updated with the plans for the vacation. 

We ended up travelling almost everywhere here in Bicol. First stop-The Village at  San Bernadino located at Calabanga, Camarines Sur.

What I wore:

Tube, H&M; Shorts, Banana Republic; Flip-flop, Ipanema; Summer Hat (from a Bicol Native stall); Watch, Casio

It feels like a complete summer on a December at the village together with my loved ones. Oh, I so love to be home!

I hope you also had a great holiday with love, peace and prosperity! 

Wishing you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

And thank you for reading The Vogue Tales. 'til my next post!

Black is Back

Still, I can't believe that I am actually done with school stuff now. It's been a month since I left everything in college for good. Yet, as much as we wanted to graduate soon, it's really true that we'll be missing a lot in school when we left already. Well, I honestly am.  

And since I'm reminiscing my college years now, let me share with you what I wore during my creative shot, which will actually be posted on our year book this coming year 2014. Stand-out black as the theme, this outfit was an attempt to copy Avril Lavigne and so I ended up in an extra Edgy-Chic Style.

This is actually my peg. (My apology for the blurred photo, I just can't find a clearer one). I made this as my inspiration for the fact that there is always this rocker side of me amidst my girly image now. 

What I'm Wearing:

Black dress, Forever21; Hair Accessory, SM Accessories; Bracelets,Penshoppe (Spikes), SM Accessories (Black-Beaded); Chuck Taylor, Converse

I'm on my way now in establishing my career. Thank God that in just a week of job hunting, I already got one. I'll be starting off on the 16th. Wish me the best luck.

Let me cut short this post and start off with a sincere apology for a long delay. This was taken last semester and i just had my time to blog about it. I just couldn't bring myself to blog since I'm so preoccupied with many things concerning my personal life now. Also, this is to extend my gratitude to the people around me for the support and love given to me. I'm just totally blessed.  Thank you! 

Thanks Yen Borile for taking my photos!

Back for Black

 Nothing compares to my experience of being such a busy bee on the past days. Paper works here and there made me feel like migraine is already my everyday companion. (I hope this one will not look like a technical writing or so. Hahaha!) Due to the fast pace of everything, I really don’t know how to catch-up anymore. Good thing this platform, in a way, is a kind of my stress reliever.

I wore this outfit during the Alternative Class Program in our University-“Throwback Thursday: Defying Gravity”. It was a great Thursday wearing a sort of a laid back ensemble.

One of the topics which I attended actually during that event was to defy blurry shots on Photography. Again, it was Bjorn's second time here in Naga, not just to capture fashion enthusiasts but also to talk about his profession, Photography. 

It was indeed my lucky day. And to share with you the reason, I was featured at SM-Youth #CampusStyle #Fashion Radar! Happy kid here! Hahaha

What I'm wearing:

 Top, thrifted

This is actually a dress of some sort, yet I find it too short,so I opted to tuck it in so it would look like an ordinary top. Achieve! Hahaha

I really love this piece for many reasons. Aside from being so affordable, it also has a zipper on its sides so I could wear it either with or without sleeves. Cool right? 

 Necklace, Online

 Bracelets, SM Accessories (Black), Gift (White); Watch, Casio

Buttons of My Heart

I’ve been very particular with the details of the clothes I’m wearing ever since I was a kid. I could recall the times when I had to argue with my Mom every Sunday on what dress to wear in going to Church. May it be the design of the laces of my dress, the colors of its ribbons or even the kind of buttons, are important for me. 

But hey, buttons can do more than what we see on our clothes! As A-fash collaborated with Fabulously and Absolutely Rural Made (F.A.R.M) lately, I realized that even the smallest things here on earth could be very much useful in many ways. FARM makes use of discarded buttons and fabrics to create unique and innovative products. Amazing , isn’t it?

Glad and at the same time fulfilled was the feeling to have a partnership with F.A.R.M. What made me feel that way? Learning that aside from being just a social enterprise, it is also inspiring since its owner, Ms.Bidibidi, is a passionate artist and a social advocate especially in Baao, where she gathers hardworking and creative youth who cannot afford to go to school to help her create products in turn for a scholarship.Who really wouldn’t be inspired, right?

What I’m wearing:

Button down top, thrifted; Blazer, my sister’s hand-me-down

Bandage Skirt, Penshoppe
  
Bag, F.A.R.M

This bag is made up of purely recycled fabric, sewn together the F.A.R.M. way. Zipped, lined and supported by a genuine brown leather strap plus, embroidered and assembled by rural women of Baao, Camarines Sur.

Bracelets, F.A.R.M; Ring, gift

These bracelets looked like sweets, right? These are assembled from buttons of old clothes that make it so unique. 

Beaded Footwear, Señorita

My toes want to apologize here. They weren’t prepared for the shoot. Hihi (Peace)

F.A.R.M products are not only beautiful and trendy but is also coupled with a deeper value. It comes with the story of how Ms.Bidibidi has helped the students and people of Baao, and the environment as well. The story has traveled from different sides of the world, and has reached the community of Ateneo de Naga, where her products are bought and her story was appreciated.
