Lady Unveiled: happiness

Showing posts with label happiness. Show all posts

Back last October, my parents came home bringing box that homed two of the most adorable things I have ever seen in my life.

Summer is finally finally here. No more uniform-hugging clothing, paper works and sleepless nights. Bikinis, beach, fitness and sleep are what I need for this Summer 2014.

Though this outfit post doesn't even get close to the summer kind of outfit vibe, these photos are loooong overdue and I needed an airport ensemble like every other blogger out there. :)

I'm very much immune to the cold atmosphere of the airport which makes me want to get and cuddle in my oversize wool jacket. Thus, for my airport outfit I opted to cover everything in my body up. Haha! By the way, I went to Manila during last year's holidays; in case you guys were wondering where I was headed to.

I went for a more neutral color palette for my wardrobe cause I thought it was too soon to don a neon green or bright graphic tee at 6 in the morning. Though I still added a little bit of flair to my wardrobe with my zebra printed shirt that my mother just got me, which I love. And I added my favorite bowler hat, and some glasses to maybe nerdify the outfit a little bit, hahaha.

I actually got the courage to show a bit of midriff and back. I'm not much of skin-baring style kind of person; but the top was too cute not to buy. So I thought, why not? I took a risk- in a way.

I thought of going ethnic/tribal with this ensemble because the yellow midriff top looked good "ethnic enough" to pair with my "tribal paisley" printed skated skirt. I added my favorite turquoise necklace- which always reminds me of Pocahontas and her turquoise necklace in the movie- to add more color to the outfit because I love adding colors onto colors. So you could say this outfit was inspired a little bit of Pocahontas.

Now the back~ the back was the statement of this whole outfit. I decided to put my hair in a ponytail to emphasize the ribbon detail at the back so everyone can witness it. Haha! Adding more to skin-baring phenomena, I showed a little bit of midriff- sans abs line- and kept the shoes into a minimalistic black open-toed sandals.

Where could you possibly find music, dance, booze and meeting new friends all happen in just one place, in one unforgettable night? Oh and not to mention, it's a "Concert for Cause"? Well, the answer: Univercity 2013 at the SRP Grounds of Cebu. Now, as I promised to you all, here's 5 of the many happenings on what went down to the most awaited college festival of the year.

1. "Sound is half the picture." - bands and djs completed the event

It's never a party or a festival without the upbeat tempo of the drums or the climactic thump of a dj's mix. Undoubtedly, you wouldn't miss the 40-feet high stage that featured Cebu's best bands and djs. We've got bands from Drop Decay and The Ambassadors to djs Mister Mozo, Jom Gonzales and Republiq's very own Mars Miranda (which I had the privilege of meeting and picking him up from the airport, haha!). Sound was definitely the half of the festival's picture.

2. Pyroworks, confetti, stage light and all techy at its best

The very first thing I vividly see, since finishing my working hours, are the fireworks up in the sky. I was literally 3 feet away from the fireworks (if that's even possible), just looking up the whole time 'cause the pyroworks were spot on. The stage was MASSIVE, everything tech-related you can see on the stage. They even got the confettis blown out of nowhere to hype up the party. Talk about massive.

3. Brands, brands, brands everywhere

From Roxy to JanSport, from Islands Souvenir to Rhipstop, you name it. Univercity was the ultimate pit stop to go when it came to a festival of brands. There were games and trivias the people could play in exchange for awesome shoes, bags and what not.

4. The foods and the booze

You don't want to have hungry people for 11 hours without having anything in their stomachs. I wouldn't want to see that. So Univercity got everything from Braddex, Thirsty, Bananarific, Chillage, Chowking and Monster Energy, to name a few. And what's a party without the booze, without the drinks? Not Univercity. Haha!

5. We leave with old friends and new friends by our side

Univercity 2013 was all about bringing old friends to dance the night away and meeting new people from different schools at the same time. It was all about uniting as one, becoming each other's friends, something what college wouldn't offer. Beyond the College Exeprience. Univercity did all of that just for one night, that's what makes this the start of something new. A new tradition that would go a long way.

'Til next time.

I finally found the time (not to mention guts!) to do a photoshoot. Jana Baduel is an up and coming photographer and a good friend of mine who took the chance of taking my first photos for my first ever blog post (finally!)

Caution: My modelling skills are rusty, bare with me. And I've got braces, too. :|

A gift from the Fashion gods has come down forth and it chose me. I finally got my own pair of Dr. Martens boots in black and what better way to wear them than a photoshoot. The theme of the shoot was Urban Hippie. So I've decided to pair up my boots with a mullet maxi floral dress to bring out the hippie and fun side of my outfit.

I made sure that accessories weren't all too colorful so as not to outshine the dress and because I wanted to make up with urban-y feeling. Nonetheless, I added the Peace sign bracelet to the touch for a little bit of hippie vibe.

A change of outfit, I went for the tomboy feel. I paired up my one-shoulder Grecian-like dress with my sister's Chuck Taylors and sequined beret.
