Lazy Eye

Clothes, purse and shoes from Forever 21, Ode to Her ring, 1721 hair clip

I wore this outfit to ZALORA’s official launch last week. The dress code was “dress to impress” but I chose to wear the most comfortable items I could sport. In the past, I would wear outfits that are beyond my comfort zone, and I’d end up exhausted and displeased after. I know that we should sometimes experiment, but I’ve always believed that when it comes to fashion, comfort is key. Speaking of which, these shoes (which remind me of Jeffrey Campbell Litas–they look the same, no?) may look heavy but they are the most comfortable! New shoes often give me blisters, but these didn’t. Spell relief.  Aside from that, I looked tall. HAHA. It’s not everyday that I’m 5’5″, you know. Lol. Better grab the chance while I still can. :P

If you like this look, hype on lookbook and chictopia! :)

ZALORA Official Launch (Photos)

On May 9, ZALORA invited the metro’s fashion-savvy bloggers and personalities to their official launch, and I was lucky enough to be invited thru Nuffnang. The beautiful Sara Meier was the night’s host. One rare thing about the launch is that ZALORA used a different kind of product presentation. Instead of walking the runway, the models who were wearing white garments just stood at the stage while the designs are projected onto their bodies. So techie. :P

If you haven’t heard about ZALORA, below is a description of what they provide:

How to Make a Fishtail Braid (Video)

I know this video tutorial is late, and I apologize. But here it is guys! I hope you’ll like it. Making a fishtail braid is a bit tedious the first time you do it, but you’ll find it quite easy once you get the hang of the process.

My face looks squashed. I filmed this in portrait mode so I had to rotate it. Unfortunately the video editor that I was using only had two ratio options. I guess I’m gonna have  to look for more video editing software then. In the meantime, please bear with me and my amateur editing skills. At least you get a better view of the braid. :P

If you have questions, feel free to leave me a comment below and I’ll definitely answer them when I get the chance. If you want a full text of the steps of making a fishtail braid plus pictures, I blogged about it last year here. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel! Hihi. Thank you! :3

Chad gave me this really cute camera early this year. He takes great pictures and we agreed that he’d teach me photography when he comes back to the country this summer, and we’ll start with this Diana Mini. I’m quite excited of the new things I’ll learn and do this year. And you’ll definitely be the first ones to know what they are. I’ve just begun drawing again—it used to be my pastime when I was younger, but, well, I had to prioritize other things later on. It feels great actually, doing the things I used to love as a child. You know what, I might actually start buying canvases again and do a bit of—er—painting. I’m not good though, but I’ve always believed that there’s no craft that can’t be learned.

I watched The Avengers with friends twice this week. I wasn’t crazy with the picture the first time I saw the movie–sometimes 3D pictures can ruin a film. So last night, I and my friends decided to watch it (again), in 2D this time. And I was glad we did because I got to revisit some scenes that seemed confusing to me. May I just say the Hulk and Iron Man were totally hilarious in the film? I’ve been a fan of Tony Stark since I watched the first Iron Man movie. He’s extremely funny, and the role suits Robert Downey Jr. well.

I didn’t wear this outfit last night though. It’s so hot in Manila right now and there’s no way you could wear something like this.
