OXYGEN HOLIDAY 2012

HELLO AGAIN

It's been months since I last updated this here blog. I wish I had an excuse but sadly that's not the case. Well anyway this is just a quick post to say thank you to some wonderful people who sent over some stuff in the past couple of months.

Firstly, thanks very much to Golden ABC for the holiday gift that they sent over last December.

Last week, Penshoppe sent over their Ed Westwick signature fragrance called Free Spirited. I must say it smells pretty good!

Thanks Penshoppe!

Also last week, Meryl of Alchemy Baking Magic sent over some macarons. I will being doing another post on this in the coming days. (Spoiler alert: they're very good). Thank you!

Yum!

Anyway, that is it for now. Expect a barrage of posts in the coming days. Haha

PEACOCKS LONDON STYLING ADVENTURE

photo by bj pascual. super thanks for the spontaneous photo shoot.

Cheska, Ziggy and I were recently invited by Peacocks to style some of their store mannequins. So last saturday the three of us headed to SM Southmall, which is where their first store is located. We were given one mannequin each to style. It was an incredibly fun experience working with two of my favorite people to come up with our individual looks. I learned a lot, especially how difficult it is to actually put clothes on a mannequin.

MARIO MAURER INVADES MANILA

I was invited by Penshoppe to attend the Fan Conference for Mario Maurer, the Thai actor who is the brand's latest endorser. It was held at The PICC and the event was hosted by VJ Utt. Blush, the first Pan-Asian girl group also graced us with performances. Also present during the event were Penshoppe brand ambassadors Victor Basa, Mikael Daez and Solenn Heussaff.

The collection to me had a very Wes Anderson feel to it.

It had a lot nautical nods as well, which I can't help but love.

Incredibly playful and fun collection. I especially love the festive "dia de los muertos" styling.

Thumbs up, definitely.

THE NEW PENSHOPPE

So this morning I went to Penshoppe's relaunch of their first ever boutique in the country, located at SM North Edsa. It also happens to be the first of their stores to sport their brand new retail look. I must say I really like this new direction. Special mention must really be given to their new drool-worthy collection of shoes.
