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? ;)

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Let me share with you some behind the scenes photos from Nail It! Salon’s advertisement shoot at the picturesque Today x Future, Cubao X. Manila Paper-covered everything, old-fashioned furniture and knick-knacks? Check! What’s more, they have really flavorsome food too. I blame Jariss for letting me taste their sizzling tofu. It’s so delicious that I get constant cravings!

Last Friday Night

♫ There’s a stranger in my bed, there’s a pounding in my head, glitter all over the room, pink flamingos in the pool. I smell like a minibar, dj’s passed out in the yard, Barbie’s on the barbecue, is this a hickey or a bruise?

Oh, how I love Fridays. Who doesn’t count the days ‘til the splendid weekend anyway? For me, Fridays connote a short but sweet escape from the demanding responsibilities of school and work. It is the perfect day to stay up late and chill out. But right after a blissful weekend comes Monday, the most dreaded day of the week. Basically, we loathe Mondays as it means the start of another hectic five days. But come to think of it, this fresh week also gives us an opportunity to start anew and set things straight, things that we may have done wrong in the week that just passed.

On to my ensemble, this is what I wore to the launching of Topman Fashion Fridays, which will be the highlight of my next post. I worked on Aztec elements mixed with feminine fabrics, made chic and cheerful with the use of layered necklaces and piled arm candies.

Remember this post? Well the Fashion God aka Ate Mary Rose of Topshop Greenbelt worked her magic and destined this gleaming pair to be a part of my shoe collection. Thanks, Ate! I hope to see you soon! :)

What I wore: Gray Aztec bralet, Gray tulle skirt, Lavender blazer and Violet croc stamped envelope clutch [Signatures by Cristina A.Venue], Triangles Aztec necklace [Bubbles], Neon drops necklace [YORK], Neon Yellow Spikes bracelet [Awesomized], Braided bracelets [GQ by PinkCloset], Tie dye Spikes bracelet, Orange Stud Strand bracelet and Cinderella connector ring [Young Wild Free], Whoopie Strappy Glitter Wedges [Topshop], Nails by Nail It! Salon | Photos by Gabby Regio

P.S. It’s the last day of SuperSale Bazaar tomorrow and I hope y’all could visit my Union Jack themed booth at the right side, #37. Score the last few trendy threads straight from my closet and limited edition Berry Couture and Young Wild Free pieces, nothing over P500! See you there!

New Possibilities + SuperSale Giveaway

Being open to new possibilities is nothing but a great thing. A person’s profession and eventually one’s whole existence come about by trying out new things and unexpectedly realizing an ideal fondness for something they never thought would delight their spirits. It’s true what they say; you’ll never know if you never try.

For this particular ensemble, I stepped out of my comfort zone and left my typical neckwear behind. Detachable collars have been around for quite some time now but I only got to wear one recently, special thanks to Jac of flatterbuy. One lovely discovery from this deed? A newfound love for these brilliant babies! It’s wonderful how they effortlessly perk up any top in your closet, minus the heat and hassle of additional layers.

What I wore: DIY YSL graphic printed crop top and Gold pumps [Bangkok], Zebra print trousers with bow detail [Signatures by Cristina A.Venue], Gold spikes stud earrings, Gold five row spikes bangle and Black and White mini mustache rings [Young Wild Free], Great Gatsby collar [flatterbuy], Gold Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma [Mom’s hand me down] | Photos by Joy Maslog

The holidays are right around the corner, so rather than reaching for your favorite shiny dress this season, the SuperSale Team highly suggests spending on your wardrobe at 90% off. From your favorite fashion brands to Christmas decors, the biggest premium Holiday shopping experience is here. The SuperSale Bazaar Holiday Edition will be held on December 1st to 5th, 2012, from Friday to Wednesday, 10am-9pm at World Trade Center’s Hall D. Well aware of the crazy Christmas rush, the SuperSale Team has extended the shopping experience from the normal 3-day sale to five days of hunting for on-trend bargains!

I am truly honored to be a part of the biggest bazaar of the year and it would mean so much to me if you could ‘like’ my photo here. Get a chance to raid trendy threads straight from my closet and score limited edition Berry Couture and Young Wild Free pieces as well!
