Furne One x Bench

   The launch for the most awaited collaboration between Bench and Furne Onè was held last November 8 at the Peninsula Manila through showcasing 42 never-before-seen pieces of Furne Onè’s new creation, with shoes provided by local designer Nereku. 
Furne Onè X Bench Bench creates a stellar collaboration with one of Dubai’s most prestigious designers, Furne Onè. The designer has truly come a long way from being rewarded in Mega Young Designers Competition, an apprenticeship with Josie Natori, gaining the first prize at the Japan’s Women’s Wear Awards, a finalist in Manila’s Fashion Designer Awards three years later, a store in Dubai with a roster of elite clientele, guesting in Germany’s Next Top Model, and this year, as Bench’s designer perfume “concoctionist.” 
 Three scents are going to be released this season under this collaboration: Unholy Eau de Toilette, and an oxymoron of scents such as Beautiful Boy Eau de Toilette, and Handsome Girl Eau de Toilette. The first fragrance, Unholy, is bottled in a red, glass flask (pictured above). A unisex scent, it has a top note of mandarin, a middle aroma of rose, and musk as its base note. Beautiful Boy, a fragrance for men, is a concoction of grapefruit, neroli, bergamot, cardamon, peppery, rosewood, iris and musk. And lastly Handsome Girl has a floral and fruity cocktail blend of apple, melon, lemon, orange, frangipani, neroli, cedarwood, amber and musk.

Leg Love

DAS supplied shoes for Pablo Cabahug's segment during the Leg Love fashion show & I got invited by sisters (DAS founders) Sureen and Neeresh to watch the show with them. 

It happened at Rockwell Tent and at the same night I got my very first pair of heelless shoes!!! 

The stockings were all so sexy and adorable!

Mango FW2011- part 1

The theme was supposed to be Luxe Grunge. I haven't shopped in over 2 or 3 (?) months now and I've practically worn every item in my closet more than twice or for photo shoots, so I took out this 2-year-old jumpsuit I thrifted from Rumi Neely's old Ebay store (Treasure Chest Vintage) and got a plad button-down shirt from my sister's room to look a bit grunge... Not so sure about the luxe part but whatevs. :))  I had to make sure I could move and take photos in my outfit so I didn't really mind the dress code after deciding to go with this.

I had fun talking to the both of them and Elisa also mentioned that I looked really intimidating (and even scary) in my photos. So glad she said I wasn't like that in person! :) 

Instantly noticed Bjorn's safety-pinned bow tie! 

I see Paul of OS Accessories

Backstage- MANGO FW2011

David, Elisa and I were given backstage passes to take photos before the show. 

I got there first and got to observe the girls for their last run-through. It wasn't chaotic at all, unlike other shows I've been to in the past.

Thank you, Connect Agency! 

I love her hair colour! 

Everybody knows I love boo-tehs. 

Animal prints and coats♥
