I knoooow I just recently posted an entry about shoes but hey, it can't hurt to have a shoegasm once in a while right?haha. So here's another batch of shoes to drool for from no other than the shoe empire that is Asianvogue Shop.
Asianvogue Shop is most well-known for their amazing and on trend array of shoes for all the shoe magpie out there. Every style and design that they have can be seen worn by the top bloggers in the Philippines and they also, are not new to the blogging world since they have been the constant supporter and sponsor to every well-known blog there is.
They cater to every fashionista's whim and they deliver one of the best qualities of shoes in the market that's why it's no wonder why a lot of customers have been loyal to them ever since. But aside from that, shoes are just one of their expertise, they also have bags and a lot more. So if you're looking for a one-stop shop, Asianvogue Shop is definitely the way to go.

P.S. My blog and Asianvogue Shop might have a collaboration soon so watch out for that!
I don't know if you noticed but I seldom wear my hair down in my outfit posts. I have been waiting for my hair to grow long enough so that I could perm it but for some reasons, it's been taking forever.haha. I really have to get myself some Goody spin pins to get that wavy effect for my next outfit post. Let's see how that works.
Anyway, on to my outfit. I was feeling extra girly today hence the sheer top and skirt. My bestfriend told me that I should wear make-up in my posts but sad to say, I suck at applying make-up for myself. My only weapons are my powder and lippy. I have yet to learn the other stuff so I'm gonna brace myself for that.haha
Sheer top from Miss Couture
Pleated Skirt from The Urban Emporium
Bag borrowed from my sister and it's thrifted btw. Great find, yeah?
Belt from mom
Brown bangle from WAGW, colored slim one from Shabby Chic
LOVE connector ring from Aizilym and Oval ring from SM Accessories
Primadonna Shoes
See? I used the same background from my last post. Told yah I'm gonna be overusing this one.haha. It's the one closest to the house and since I haven't yet mastered the art of not caring and minding the stares I got from people passing by, this is the best I could come up with.
By the way, don't you think it's been a while since I've posted a food entry? I might have to post one this week so don't forget to visit :D
If there is one thing I love more than food, it would have to be shoes. I truly believe one can make or break an outfit through the shoes that they're wearing.
And since almost everyone is in Cebu for Sinulog and I'm here at home sulking, I might as well make use of the Internet and cheer myself with some lovely shoes. So here are what I'm lusting over from NYFW Spring 2012 Collection.
Altuzarra
Peter Som
Sophie Theallet
United Bamboo
Alexander Wang
Diane von Furstenberg
And of course, from our very own Kermit Tesoro's new collection:
It would take a lifetime before I could buy these shoes. Okay, maybe not. But as much as I love these, I could not afford to spend such a lot of money for a single shoes. I am that thrifty.haha
I'm pretty sure almost everyone have seen this TVCs already. Ever wondered who that 'mystery girl' John Lloyd was with in that Magic Flakes commercial? Or that 'Let's define kanina girl'? Well, you need not fret 'coz you'll know more about her in this interview.
And guess what? She's a fellow Kagay-anon too and she was the first ever titleholder of Ms. Teen Philippines a couple of years ago. She has been gracing magazine covers, doing TVCs and fashion shows in both local and national scenes.
Let's get to know more about Ms. Stephanie Mae Sol, shall we?
1.Who is Stephanie Sol?
She’s a dreamer who loves to pursue whatever possesses goodness, truth, art, beauty and LOVE.
Ohhh. You want the Bio Data info?
Steph is a 21-year-old entrepreneur/commercial model graduate of Industrial Economics at the University of Asia and the Pacific.
2.How has being Ms. Teen Philippines changed your life?
(Wow! 2004 memories. I was only 14 when I was crowned the 1stMTP. Sorry needed to comment.)
It helped me define beauty as a positive attitude, an uplifting emotion and a life changing experience. It molded me into who I am today –idealistic
3.Did you ever imagine you would come this far?
Far? Where? I still have so much to accomplish... I don’t think I’m even a quarter of my goal list…
4.Do you consider yourself famous? Why or Why not?
No… not yet! Haha. I’m just really thankful that there are people (especially family and friends) who appreciate what I have done and support my endeavors.
5.If you are not who you are right now, who would you be and what would you be doing?
#+$*^%****
This question is brain wracking. I would be my sterling self. I would be who God wants me to be. Erk! Can’t imagine not being me L I love my “panyang” self :D Or maybe, I wanna be Audrey Hepburn for a day
6.Being blessed with a lot of things, what else do you want to achieve in your life?
Amen. Thank you Lord for the countless blessings. I want to be a philanthropist. I dream of owning a hotel with a floor dedicated to be an art/personality development school
7.Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
At 31, I will be a happy mother and wife while I continue to strive helping others making their dreams come true… One STEPH at a time, zeeeei.
8.Can you tell us something we don't know about you yet?
I am a “panyang” girl…. But, you’ll never know what that means until we become close enough… So I’ll give you another one.
I want to have a pet dragon.
*****
9.What is the biggest misconception about you?
That I am a snob & ma-arte biatch. Like, OH-EM-GEEE! Hindi kaya noh, that’s so not true. Hahaha! Kiddin’.
On being snob: I have bad eyesight so sometimes, I miss to say Hi/Smile to friends cause my vision is blurry. Boo. Sorry friends.
On being ma-arte: Do wanna see me eat tae to prove I’m not? Joke! Seriously, I’m a game person. I don’t mind looking ugly & foolish. I sometimes like acting stupid.
On being a biatch: uhhh-uh! I do not think this is a misconception, or is it? Maybe because I have many guy friends? I can’t help it I grew up with two brothers + all my neighbors were boys. :/ I used to play toy guns and cars instead of barbies. I hated barbies. However, If being a bitch implies confidence and getting what she wants. Then yes, I proud to be a biatch. I never back down when I know that what I am doing is right.
10.What is your greatest achievement so far?
Cheesy but, I believe it is loving without asking for anything in return. It’s a daily process. At times I fail, but I never give up on love and loving because nothing great is achieved without passionate love.
Like blogging, I’ve jumped from different blogging sites, I’ve failed to maintain em. But here I am again, trying to once and for all commit myself to writing. Thanks to bloggers like you Ivy, I am more inspired to keep my blog.
11.Who is your inspiration in everything you do?
God and all the beautiful things He created, especially family, friends and nature
12.What advice can you give to the readers/your fans?
Always be thankful and useful. Thankfulness feeds the feeling of wanting to give back, do more and be more (inner satisfaction) while usefulness implies the doing of something that is of benefit to others. To act on positive thoughts and emotions is one of the many keys to happiness. Thanks for reading and I hope I got to Spread TheEnthusiastic Pursuit of Happiness
Since she was in town, I was supposed to meet with Stephanie and do this interview personally but because of some other reasons, the meeting did not push through. I had to send her the questions through e-mail and thank God she was still up to it.
So there you have it guys. I hope you had fun reading this just as much as I did.
When I posted my outfit shots last Monday, some were asking how I managed to turn a scarf into a necklace, so I decided to do a DIY tutorial for you guys.
It's actually as easy as 1-2-3. I got the inspiration from my sister who did something like this a couple of weeks ago and when I tried it out, it actually looked good. I promise, all of you can do this without batting an eyelash.haha
You'll only need a scarf for this DIY Project. You could use either a plain one or something with a lot of colors but make sure that it is thin and of rectangular shape.
Step 1: Put the scarf around your neck like the one in the picture. Notice the length of my scarf, this is how long it should be.
Step 2: Do an overhand knot and make sure that you tie it at the length you want your necklace to be.
Step 3: Starting with the first half, loop the rest of scarf to the outlined circle of your necklace until you reach the tip of the scarf.
Step4: Tuck the end of the scarf and tie it like a knot.
Step 5: Same as Step 3, loop the scarf to the outlined circle until you reach the tip of it.
Step 6: Tuck the end part and make a knot.
Voila! Instant necklace from your scarf! Easy right? I hope you learned something from this tutorial. It's actually my first time doing this so bear with me.haha
Meanwhile, I still have two ongoing giveaways from my sponsors so if you haven't joined yet, just click these:
Sheer tops? Animal-prints and Florals? Zuz Style has everything a modern day woman should be wearing. Influenced by her friend, Ms. Frances Paderna started operating ZUZ last October of 2011 and since then, customers have become loyal to their shop.
Zuz offers the kind of clothing style that famous bloggers like Kryz Uy and Camille Co are wearing which is why if you want to dress up like them, Zuz is the way to go. Teen and ladies can definitely choose a lot of varieties from their collection.
And because ZUZ is very generous, they are giving away two items from their collection. How cool is that? Anyway, here are the items you could win:
Zuz will be giving away this white cropped top and blue stripes shirt. Here are the mechanics:
I knooow, how lame can my title get?haha. In my attempt at rhyming, I finally conclude I totally suck at it. But hey, at least I tried.haha
So as my title boasts, this is what I wore yesterday to mass. I was feeling a little monochromatic hence, the all gray ensemble.
Thrifted dress and cover-up.
DIY: Scarf turned to neck piece.
Bangle from WAGW, Bow Ring from Aizilym
Parisian flats.
Me and my sister decided to shoot outside our neighbor's house and I finally braved all the stares from people passing by. I think I might overuse this location in my future posts.haha.
What do you think about the scarf I turned into a neck piece? My family thinks it looks like a garland but I like how it pops color to the outfit so I just wore it.Yeah, I'm weird like that. Plus, wearing flats was probably not the best idea, I look short, :c Or should I say, I look my normal size.haha
Anyway, I might be giving another awesome giveaway this week so stay tuned! :D
