Yet again, one thank you isn’t enough for each and every one of you, my lovely readers who dropped by, who made it a point to buy from my booth, talk to me and take photos with me. Your simple statements such as “I love your blog!” and “I actually went here just to see you!” definitely made me smile. :) It was such an overwhelming feeling getting to know all of you!

And because you talked, we listened. You voted for a part two at the South and we’re giving it to you! This May 11th, 2013, Saturday, your favorite Tumblr bloggers, together with their loved treasures will be at The Pergola Mall BF Homes, Parañaque City. Apart from that, various online shops will be there too, catering to your every need for fashion, food and rapture!

As the spanking New Year that is 2013 rolled in, one of the New Year’s resolutions that I intended to work on was to publish an end of the month post featuring my Instagram photos from each ended month.

Superb by SuperSale Bazaar

Being a consumer myself, I have always thought that participating in bazaars is a cool and considerable way to earn extra income. Thus, when Melai invited me to take part as one of Superb by SuperSale Bazaar’s fashion bloggers, I was thrilled! Having the chance to launch my very own, Young Wild Free to the public was a great thing for me. I was able to survey how saleable my products actually were and a blissful bonus was meeting some of my blog readers too! Thank you, Melai and to the SuperSale Bazaar Team for this superb opportunity!

Those round sunglasses were sold out in a matter of minutes. Make sure to grab our last few pieces of floral printed wayfarers and turquoise ombre eyewear!

Freshly released arm party guests? Check!

Good news, our bestselling cross necklaces are back due to popular demand!

Like Young Wild Free on Facebook if you still haven’t! :)

The most adorable dust plugs and mobile phone cases from Berry Couture

Look who visited my booth and even sung DLSU’s Alma Mater Hymn for me; it’s Enzo The Little Archer!

Heelless and colorblocking babies from Asian Vogue

Works of HeART from Anagon Collection

I am actually happy that I got to know Ana better through this bazaar. Your creativity and flair will make you go places, girl! :)

I am also happy that I met Cat of Bedazzle Accessories. Such beautiful bracelets that you make! See you at your next DLSU Bazaar, Cat!

DAS (warning: these shoes can kill!) I never came across a DAS design that I didn’t like. Fashionably fierce is an understatement for their splendid shoes.

Gold Couture has such distinctive and delightful trinkets. Thank you, Geewel for thoughtfully sending me some gifts!

Call me biased but when anyone asks me where to get feather accessories, I say Maris Unique Pieces straightforwardly! Thank you, Mika for the fun feather earrings that you gave me!

Jacq was so sweet to offer me a My Shopperoo iPhone case personally designed by her sister, Lia. Can you guess which one I chose? ;)

Family picture with Jacq and her very supportive husband, the lovely couple behind Shoppe Unlimited

Sophisticat Shoes keeps on coming up with fresh and funky designs that any fashionista would love to wear. They’re currently having a 20% off deal so grab the chance and get a pair now!

I love meeting my sweet sponsors so I loved meeting Jac and her friendly mom too! Thank you for adding your colorful YORK Accessories to my collection!

Each concluded happening by the SuperSale Bazaar Team makes me excited for the next one. Most of my best loved brands gathered under one roof and scoring fashionable finds at marked down prices are definitely things to look forward to. Will I see you at the next one? ;)

Thank God It’s Friday

Not just any other Friday, it’s Topman Fashion Fridays! Paying tribute to its home country, Topman London’s trendy tradition was channeled by Topman Philippines as the flagship store launched its very own Topman Fashion Fridays last September 28th. A special shopping party was enjoyed by everyone as complimentary drinks were served and DJ Nix Damn P! rocked the night away.

A fashionable event like this only meant one thing- seeing familiar faces. I was so happy to see my friends from RSSI’s League of Fashion 2012 again. It was quite noticeable how everyone was blooming! Yieee hello, guys!

I still get star struck whenever I would bump into David at events. This guy has already made a great deal of achievements while still keeping his feet on the ground. Such an inspiration you are, David!
