day 30
What a more fitting way to bow out of the 30-day challenge than to deliver a presentation/talk about the Postura Project? Gawad Kalinga invited me over to Ateneo for their CSI Night yesterday to talk about #PosturaPH. It felt really awkward and weird to come in there to talk about fashion, when usually, my talks are always about good governance or youth leadership or nation-building. I don't know, I felt like I was Kirsten Stewart and I was being asked to talk about how to be an amazing and respected actress. (... Meaning, I have absolutely zero credibility on the topic. *runs away from Twilight fans*) Better late than never: I finally got to don my Team Manila bag for my last hurrah! I will always have a special place in my heart (and closet) for Team Manila, because these guys give love-for-country a whole new meaning. This is the brand that first mainstreamed fashionalism - a decade ago, to be exact - when they slapped on aviators on our national hero and started emblazoning passion for the nation in big, bold Helvetica. Saludo! And since it's the 30th day, I figured -- I should do a levitating shot one last time, for old times' sake. I mean, who cares if I fully sprain my ankle this time around, right? Good photo > Working ankle. #Priorities (But to be safe, I used my left leg this time.) ---------------------------------------------- Best-fitting blazer of all time - Culte Femme Necklace made from root nut & crushed bottle glass - Island Girl Ethnic print tote bag - Team Manila Green belt - The Ramp Neon bracelet - Rex Clothing 'Nom' tansan ring - Junk Studio Woven green bangle - Cebu/Manila F.A.M.E.

day 27
"Work from home" usually means "working in pajamas," but what if you want to "wear pajamas to work," but you have three meetings that day? Here I attempt to approximate the feeling. Silk, sheer, bows, ribbons and polka dots. I mean, not to say that I wear this to bed. *snorts* Hardly. (Old ratty Ateneo Orsem/varsity shirts still make the best jammies ever.) And a little cameo -- spot Momma S! ;) White sheer top - Sleepyhead Clothing Blue polka dot shorts - The Ramp Nightgown/camisole - Landmark Bottle cap rings - Junk Studio Coffee art bangle - SM Accessories Ribbon necklace and bracelet - China street stall
day 25
I'm overjoyed that it is a Friday! Woohoo! This means, I can hug my pillow for a couple of hours longer tomorrow. This is my simple Saturday plan :) Also, this means just one more day until Platform. It's going to be a visual feast of works from young designers/ artists/ entrepreneurs. And there's going to be shopping! Super excited.

Another thing that's perking up this week, I'm going to be working with Kaity Chua for an official advertising project soon. Our photoshoots have always been a breeze because she stops once she's get her shot. And she gets it pretty quickly. She took this set as well :)
day 25
And so begins my Instagram edition of Postura (read: I have nobody to take pictures of me these days).
Striped sheer button down by Sassa Jimenez. I want to say this is from her 40 piece "Circus" collection at Philippine Fashion Week S/S 2012.
And because it's sheer, the lingerie comes out to play! For the ultimate pep in your step, when it comes to undergarments, don't be lazy...be lacy.
Fantastic chiffon bib necklace from Trunk Show Manila.
I'm wearing it upside down in light of the anniversary of the massive tsunami in Japan. One of the most adored rings I've ever owned. Many thanks to Junk Studio.
These shoes got 39 likes on Instagram within the first hour I posted the picture up - including a co-sign from some of my favorite style setters back in NYC. My followers have superb taste.

And look! Jagnus Design Studio (the creative architects behind the Ronac Art Center) finally came out with a toy! In homage of the Bot-O-Toy (you can play around with that in both your American and Tagalog accents), my laptop, hard drive, and soon - my keys, all have the 100% wood, 100% Filipino created collectible's image attached to them!
They launch the actual toy at Secret Fresh on March 27. Come!

day 22
This is the partner to my Little Girl Ifugao skirt on Day 8. Local, loud, proud and bright red!
On the left box, my first ring from Junk Studio! It's made of tansan, this one from a Mountain Dew Bottle. Yay! Mountain Dew. I like how it's recycled and how it reminds me of my childhood. I used to pretend that these bottle caps were lego batyas (laundry basins).
These Oxygen slacks are so relaxed and comfy. Definitely, an alternative to skinny jeans! I'm feeling the vibe of their new collection, probably because it's popping with color. I'm oddly drawn more to their menswear though.
