Fluorescent

Patricia Prieto — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 05:55:31 +0000

Let me put my previously drafted posts aside for now so I can show you all what I wore to the Bloggers United 3 which was just yesterday — And for the record, I am SO not over it! I may have only slept for two hours (I don’t think you can even call that sleeping, HAHA) but I guess being around my friends helped but seeing and meeting all my readers gave me that energy to get me going the entire day!!

Funny story. While I was packing my stuff up for Bloggers United 3, I realized something.. I had NOTHING to wear. Like, legit. So right after I finished up packing I dashed on over to Rockwell to grab something to wear. Luckily Mango’s newest collection had gorgeous neon colours which definitely caught my eye!

With this being the third installment of the Bloggers United bazaars I kind of have a feel to how these things work. Not only did I make sure to dress up but, I made sure to dress comfortably and in something that can keep me cool of course! Well, I hope you all enjoyed the bazaar as much as I did! I’ll be making a post about the event itself and with that said — I’d love for you all to tweet/email/Facebook massage me the photos I was able to be in with YOU! Why? Cause I’d love to add it on to my blog! Yes? YES! HAHA! Cheers! xx

Walked The Runway For SM’s GTW

Patricia Prieto — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:56:00 +0000

When I started modeling professionally I did a couple of ramp shows for Rhett Eala. From a Collezione show at Rockwell, to a big production for MetroWear, to another big production for Rhett Eala at the Pen as well. I can’t say that I’m a runway veteran on the runway but I can say I’ve done a few. Thing is, never have I ever walked for Philippine Fashion Week — But it was always a dream of mine.

It was definitely something I just HAD to check off my bucket list!! Hopefully this wont be the last time I walk the runway. I loved (and maybe even missed) the feeling actually. Hmmm.. Maybe next season? Haha!

THANK GOD for the L’Oréal make up team as well as the magic of Lourd Ramos and his amazing team as well. Without them I wouldn’t have gotten that great make up done as well as my Serena Van Der Woodsen-esque hair! What a day that was. This was after I met Joe Jonas beeteedubs! HAHA I’m honestly not over it all just yet! Well, to close this post — Check out the photos I (fourth), Laur (third), Cams (first two) and Rev (last) posted on Instagram. HAHA

BLOGGERS UNITED IN A FEW HOURS!!!! Uh, that’s right, CHEERIO!! xx

Up On The Roof

Patricia Prieto — Thu, 31 May 2012 10:13:02 +0000

The rainy and gloomy weather means it’s time to shift from bright hues to dark shades. Since I’ve been getting comments and emails saying that it’s cool that you get to see me wean jeans well, get used to it now! BAHAHA! I’ll be sure to keep that up — Especially with the cool and chilly weather nowadays.

During the Michael Cinco show for Bench he launched not only his new collection but his perfume entitles Impalpable as well that night. I got a whiff of how it smelled like and instantly fell in love with the scent! It has this sweet yet very sophisticated feel to it — A good mix don’t you think? Try it for yourself, I for one believe it’s a good day to night type of perfume.

Watch the amazing short they made for the perfume! I swear, Allison Harvard looks like a doll! Gorgeous video.

Ps: Any of you know any good tarp printers? Hit me up if you know! THANKS!! xx

Rajo x Bench Fashion Show

Patricia Prieto — Thu, 31 May 2012 07:24:40 +0000

Right after the Michael Cinco show pretty much the entire room shifted to the next room for the second half of the Bench Fashion Show and for the last show for Philippine Fashion Week. What a way to close Fashion Week I must say!

From DJs, to local celebrities (like fellow Style Star, Sarah Lahbati!!), dancers, to musicians, to models. The show felt like a huge concert mixed with a cheer dance competition, dance showdown, music festival and party all packed in one!! Never a dull moment. SWEAR.

If any of you went to Malasimbo the last time then you’ll know who these are. If you didn’t go then everyone, meet Brigada! They’re an amazing percussion band who definitely got the party started! While they did their thing, Rajo came out and started the REAL party!

Rajo asked everyone to get up up off their seats and dance! He pulled some of his friends up on stage as well. The show ended with the DJs spinning and the entire crowd on the runway/stage trying to grab an opportunity to have a photo taken with their favorite celebrities. From the main Bench man, Ben Chan to the star of the night, Rajo Laurel to Georgina Wilson, Mond Guitierrez, Tim Yap, (Tita) Tessa Prieto – Valdes and and Divine Lee to the ANTM girls Allison and Dominique!

Well, that ended Fashion Week for Holiday 2012. With a bang nonetheless! Till next seasons Fashion Week! Cheers!

Michael Cinco: Impalpable

Patricia Prieto — Wed, 30 May 2012 06:18:16 +0000

This was the first ever Michael Cinco show I have ever watched and I must say — all the talk and hype? Didn’t do it any justice! His pieces are works of art, from the designs, the craftsmanship to just everything. I can’t even. Amazing.

The show began with a video for Michael Cinco’s perfume Impalpable then these cute little children came out THEN the show opened with a GORGEOUS gown!! Followed by a number of his masterpieces.

THEN the girls from ANTM All Stars came out and graced the runway. First up was Dominique Reighard then followed by Michael Cinco’s Impalpable muse, Allison Harvard.

White, mint green, baby blue, beige. Lace, beads, mesh. These are what made up his pieces. Beautiful.

Michael Cinco came out to the entire room clapping and cheering for him! I included! He did an amazing job! I got goosebumps the moment the show started same when it ended! Ahhh!!

Amazing.

All This Time

Patricia Prieto — Tue, 29 May 2012 06:44:24 +0000

It was one of those lazy days and so we decided to visit my uncles house all the way in Antipolo. It wasn’t quite done yet but we enjoyed the view and fresh air. I must say — I felt like I was at some resort or the beach, well, minus the heels and accessories of course, HAHA Nevertheless, it was a good few hours outside of the metro. After I dashed to Makati for my good friend, Mike Concepcion’s surprise party — Which was a success I must say! Haha

I opted to add some character and color to this ensemble of mine by throwing those multicolored boots. I gave it this little edge and a little sort of UMPH so to say. I had my ever dependable flats in my bag of course so my feet don’t die whilst walking up and down not only stairs but count stones and gravel on the ground and so on while checking out his newly built home. SO! It never hurts to keep some flats or flip flops when you can.

See No More

Patricia Prieto — Mon, 28 May 2012 04:33:52 +0000

When I was told by THE Ben Chan during the Joe Jonas media event that he was going to see me on Sunday (for PFW), I was not only excited but nervous as well. I made sure to dress to impress (HAHA)! I sure do hope it worked! Made sure to wear my favorite skinnies from the OJ Americana collection (The one Lucy Hale modeled/endorsed) and a corset from Bench (not seen in my photos) which I’ve been saving for a special occasion. I believe the Holiday 2012 shows of Bench, Michael Cinco and Rajo Laurel were big and special enough occasions don’t you think so?

I love this whole woven detail on my heels, thats what pulled me into to buying them. It has this very Filipino vibe to it and not only does it look nice but it kept my feet comfy and snug during the shows. Speaking of PFW shows, I’ll be blogging about them come this week!

Curious about my blog post title? Well, the one and only Joe Jonas sang this song. Ever since the moment I had a photo with him and watched him perform I’ve been listening to his songs all over again and well, I remember him singing this during the press con aka his FIRST performance in Manila and I couldn’t help but gush over the fact that my grade school/high school crush was pretty much right in front of me. Dream come true much? HAHA

Uh, Cheerio

Patricia Prieto — Sun, 27 May 2012 08:20:13 +0000

I don’t know why I’ve been drawn to navy blue striped cotton pieces BUT heck, this works wonders when you want to make sure you keep cool during the heat as well as keep comfortable amidst a string of meetings and errand running all in just one day. Don’t you just love those days? Haha!

I love the fact that these sunnies of mine are vintage beyond compare. This baby has been through three generations. My abuelito owned them and passed them down to my dad and now, it’s been passed on to me. It gives me this spunky kind of vibe whenever I wear it knowing two great men have worn them!

For some reason I can’t get enough of these wedges. Not only is it the colour that can wake up any outfit but the fact that they’re so comfortable! I can walk in these all day and not kill my feet or my toes, HAHA!

Okay.. Just to clarify,in reference to the title of my blog — No, no, no I am not heart broken, brokenhearted, sad, sobbing or anything like that. This song has been stuck in my head, on repeat, nonstop, over and over again that it’s pretty much the only thing I’ve been listening to these past X number of hours. I SWEAR. It’s so catchy! Beeteedubs, if you listen to the song you’ll get my blog title, HAHA Cheers!

Hot Day Out

Patricia Prieto — Sat, 26 May 2012 08:06:37 +0000

For some strange reason these past few days have been hot — Or when it rains it pours. I just wish the weather would sort of mellow down for the benefit of most of us, HAHA

Thank goodness the dress I wore out was backless, it kept me pretty cool during lunch out with my family. If you see me out wearing this dress out again soon don’t judge me — It’s just perfect for the weather out nowadays. You’ll agree with me if you own a dress like this! HAHA!

Ford Philippines Mums Day Treat

Patricia Prieto — Fri, 25 May 2012 03:25:47 +0000

No, I’m not a mum but I know I have an awesome one! Luckily Ford Philippines contacted me to this cute little surprise treat. I and my mum along with two other mother daughter pairs were treated to a special and relaxing day out care of well, Ford Philippines!

Our day started of with a special car pick up using the new Ford Fiesta! Okay, the moment I got in the car I gave my mum that I-WANT-THIS-CAR look. Not only was it so roomy but Isa the PR Rep for Ford showed us the Bluetooth features — I was sold! The ride was so smooth, it was clean and definitely not bumpy. I love the fact that I got the orange coloured one, to think it comes in other colours! If only it was THAT easy to buy a car, haha!

We were first brought to 2ND’S for a delicious five course lunch which left us all full and definitely satisfied! Btw, Ford even surprised my mum with a bouquet of flowers which left her (along with the other mums) speechless and definitely feeling special.

After that we were taken to Manos Nail Spa for a relaxing mani pedi. I believe my mum and I got the best seats of the spa, over looking Burgos Circle. I fought the urge to take cat naps by chatting up a storm and joking around with my mum (HAHA), which worked!

As the day came to an end, my mum and I were very happy to have spent that Saturday together. THANK YOU FORD PHILIPPINES for that amazing Saturday!!! Both my mum and I had a great time and are very thankful for everything you all did for us that day — We’ll never ever forget it!
