Cebu/Sinulog 2013 photo diary

Kryz's birthday at the very chic Henry Hotel (formerly known as the House of Cebu)

MANILA IS MY RUNWAY [via iPhone]

Thanks so much to Paradigm Shift for this red ensemble. Love the contrast of the red and black boots, I should wear red more often! This was taken at Elite Studios this afternoon after a photo shoot that I can't really divulge on. I just had to pose against this wall since I think it's true for most of us. 

Now off to Cebu for some work + Kryz's birthday tonight. Will be back on Tuesday and then flying to Cebu again a couple of days after for Sinulog. Can't wait!

CELEBRACION

cute milk tea table by My Serendipitea

Rose gold, silver and pearl- colors of romance and class. 

Patty and Kelly

Suelas girls Jackie Tan & Kaye Ong

Suelas made the first-ever foldable flats

The flower, stone and pearl embellishments are light, simple and handmade, a tasteful complement to the beauty that you naturally radiate!

About a month ago I attended the launch of Patty's collaboration with Suelas at a cute nail salon named Pink Me Up. She invited me without knowing that I had met Jacky and Kaye Ong before (small world!!!) since I modeled for one of their collections two years ago. Patty was the first Suelas model and for her wedding last November she made all of her bridesmaids rock these comfortable flats which were appropriate for the garden set-up in Tagaytay.  I spent the afternoon just catching up with the girls over milk tea and hors d'oeuvres while getting my nails done. 

This collection was heavily inspired by her bespoke garden wedding- dainty, delicate and graceful. The elements work beautifully together to perfectly complement each momentous celebration. 

The great part about this collaboration is that part of the proceeds (100% of Patty's profit share) will go to the Child Education and Nutrition Enhancement Program (CENEP) of the Union Church of Manila Foundation, Inc., a teaching and feeding program for pre-school children established according to DepEd guidelines. A perfect opportunity for anyone to give back! 

These elegant flats are already available at the Suelas website. Congratulations to Patty, Jackie and Kaye for this collab! You girls are awesome!
