CURATED MANILA: Behind The Scenes

58875_296099270494731_79510037_n

Hello there!!

 

I’m back! Before I left, I had to go stylist mode even if I’m not really a stylist or a fashion blogger! I took up the challenge for my baby, Curated Manila! My other half is no other than DARYL MIKO CHAN, whom I first met when we played badminton! I saw her again in school, our chika powers proved us to be a match made in heaven! <3  We wanted to promote Filipino pride in our own way and decided to design and create bags that are 100% made in the Philippines!

 

Anyway, back to my post! :)) The shoot was super last minute and Daryl and I are so happy to be able to get makeup blogger and singer, Ericka Villongco to be our very first model! I was able to get a super talented student photographer, Jonas Tamayo of 11:11 Productions. Ericka and I were able to drag fashion blogger Kally Araneta last minute to co-style as well! The night before the shoot, our photographer told me he wanted to shoot at Ayala Hillside so I stressed my dad out and got him to find someone to let us in! teehee!

My LOTD:

I just HAD to take advantage of having a photographer around since I ALWAYS struggle taking outfit photos! I know, I look summery. haha I just wanted to feel bright and happy and productive so I tried to incorporate neons into my look. :) Well,  kinda based my outfit on my shoes, which I LALALOVE!

 

Top from Nava || pants from HNM || vest from taiwan 

Spike bracelets from an online shop! I forgot wheree. || gold casio watch from Vintage Casio Watches || orange insect repellant from my dad || belt from Nava

                  Yes, kailangan tiptoe! Shoes from Chili Margarita Shoes.

Didn’t put on too much makeup because i was on poser stylist mode and I wanted to focus on the shoot! :)

That’s it for now! Like Curated Manila on facebook!

      hi lau! :)

      Aww, thanks so much!! That’s really nice to hear because I really don’t intend to be a fashion blogger. I worry that my outfits aren’t stylish enough. :)) I’ll work on posting more of my “wearable” outfit posts from now on! :)

      I’m glad I found ya too! <3

      xoxo,
      Maxie <3
