Spotlight on Jamie: March 2013

New In (Ready For Summer!)

A break from outfit posts today! Here are some of the things I recently got from sweet people, shops and sponsors! Some are not really that new because I already received them few months ago, but it will be the first time they will appear here in my blog! I still haven't used some off them. I've been just waiting for summer to come. Hihi. It's been a while since I've last posted about my new stuff. I think I was still in Tumblr when I last did that! Hee~ So yeah, stuff so perfect for summer! Woot!~

First hot stuff! My under the sea wedges! This was given to me by our family friend in Korea. *wink* Ooh~ This is so perfect for our Misibis Bay trip this May! Can't wait, can't wait! I've been also eyeing for cute but conservative swimsuits lately.. I'm not really a swimwear kind of girl, not really comfortable of showing some skin! Haha.

Yay for this second stuff! My cat ears hat from ROMWE! Eeee~ This is just so pretty! I've waited for quite a long time for this. Hihi. Kinda obsessed with cat goodies right now. :3 So excited to make an outfit post wearing this!!!

Next is my pretty pink flipflops given to me by Havaianas! Remember when I blogged for them? Hihi. So thankful to be a blogger for Havaianas! I'm so looking forward to working with them again soon! ;) Thank you Havaianas Naga! *u*

And lastly, my limited edition Ray Ban Wayfarers from David Guison! I won this from his Ray Ban Legend giveaway! *u*

He even got a letter for me! With his signature. Yeah~

Photo from davidguison.com | Read his blog post about his trip in Bicol here

Glad that he had a trip in Bicol that time when I won this. He got to give my prize personally! David really fell in love with Bicol! We're meeting every year for 3 years now. Haha. This time, we met in CWC where he and his friends were checked in.

Right photo from Miko Carreon

David felt kinda shy when I asked for a whole body photo with him (just because I'm wearing boots!), he said he's just in his pambahay clothes! Haha. But he honestly still looks good! And his hair still looks awesome even when he's just bagong gising! lol I also got to meet his friend Miko Carreon, but I forgot to ask for a photo with him! Ugh~ Overwhelmed with my RayBans eh? But I wasn't able to meet the couple Gerd and Angeline because they were still asleep that time. lol

So yeah, these are just few things that you'll soon be seeing in my outfit posts!

Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making this. Hihi. :>

Have a great summer everyone! xx

Heya ~~spotlighters~~! (Can I just call you like that? Hee~) Did you miss me? Sorry for my absence in this blog! I've been in a serious hell week these past weeks and just after it ended, I was on a vacation mode immediately. Hooray for sleep-all-day-and-wake-up-for-food kind of days!~

Forgive me for my laziness~ Anyhoo! I'm back with this wonderful blog post!! So pretty photos right? *u*

I had this photo shoot a week ago with Mr. Reuben Malimban. He's one awesomesauce photographer! He's also really easy to get along with, which can really be a great trait for a photographer. I was really impressed with his works. He said that photography was just his hobby, but hey! He works as if he's really a pro! Totally happy with the result of my photos! Plus, I really enjoyed our shoot even though it was really tiring because we had this shoot in the highest building in Naga!! 7 floors, and we took the stairs! (whew!) But it's totally worth it!

The place was totally amazing! Old, abandoned, so vintage-y, and it was freakin' high! I can see the whole city on the top of the building! (Oh crap~ I just remembered that I forgot to take pictures of the scenery. TT____TT)

And hey! Reuben even found my spotlight in this building!!! OH EM GEE~ Totally satisfied in this shoot! Haha! XD

I got a photo of the shoot location a week before the shoot, so I get my inspiration of my outfit in the location. I thought red and black would really work out in this kind of location. So yes, just classy red and black it is!

I was also inspired by Taylor Swift again in this outfit. Re-eh-eh-ed, re-eh-eh-ed~ Can't get enough of Taylor! Well, she's really amazing. I totally love her, and her latest album, RED.

Red lippies from Happy Margarita

Even though my outfit's edgy, I still couldn't forget about bows!~

Bow ring & nail polish, Forever 21

Introducing the newest addition to my growing boots collection! My new favorite black chunky platform boots! Just what I am needing! I got this from a thrift store! *wink wink*

Oh, by the way! We had this shoot for Mr. Reuben Malimban's project on A-Fash, the Bloggers' Profile!
See how I answered the question, what did I learn from blogging?

So yes, this is my blogger's profile! Enjoy watching! ;)

P.S. Thank you so much Mr. Reuben for this awesome shoot!
P.P.S. Spotlighters! You still have 2 days left to join my CaLee Shoppe Giveaway! ;)

Make Love, Not War ☮

Hippies originated in the 60’s or 70’s. They are the ones who embrace life to the fullest. Promotes peace, love and happiness. A-Fash decided to have this theme last week. I’ve known that hippies are the styles with bandos, loose clothes, round glasses and artsy prints. A little the same with the bohemian style. I’m not sure if there are differences in each style, but I would interpret each style differently.

Head-to-toe, Thrifted

I built my outfit with my orange over-sized pants. I thought it would really look hippie-ish, and decided to put all the details on my top.

Printed top, detailed crochet vest, plus all the detailed and colorful accessories.

Aztec necklace: Personalized Accessories

Fell in love with this leopard eyewear from SM the first time I saw it few months ago, but it’s only available with glass lens grades on. Heart-breaking, right? But I saw it on sale last week! So I thought of some things I can do for me to still wear it… remove the glass lenses! Yup, it’s very easy to do. A bit scary ‘cause you might break the glass frame or the lens, so you better be careful with it and with yourself too. Just hold the frame firmly and push the glass lens out.

Eyewear: SM Accessories | Egyptian earrings: Gift

And oh, it’s my first time to wear a pair of big earrings! If you would notice, I’m not really a fan of earrings. But this is a gift from my fashionista friend Cecille, so this is an exception! Plus the Egyptian detail is really cute!

Purple bracelets from CaLee Shoppe

My most earth-friendy arm party! Added also my new bracelets from CaLee Shoppe, the Peace bracelet that really suits my hippie theme. Promoter of peace!

Hey, join my CaLee Shoppe giveaway!

Here’s A-Fash with me with our hippie outfits! I really love walking around the school with these girls! Ahh~ Just like in movies! Haha. But we’re not the mean girls! lol BTW, we’re currently looking for new members! There are some members that will graduate this March, so… :( Anyway, an A-Fash member must be an Atenean, fashionista, have a fashion platform like blog or Lookbook, and are willing to power dress up with a theme every Wednesday!

Free-Spirited

So sorry for being away for more than two weeks? I've been really uninspired to blog lately. Maybe with my busy schedule, and also with personal issues. No, I don't have a life-and-death situation right now. I've been just thinking a lot of my career. I'm really in the dilemma right now. To employ or to start my own business? To continue fashion or to find something else? Do I really have a future in these? What do I really want? or just pursue what I would need?

Few days from now, I'll say goodbye to my third year in college. I have to prepare myself now to my last year in college! Yes, I'm that old even though I don't look that old. After a year from now, I'll be in the real world... and I know I have to start making my decisions now for my future. These things made me ..I don't know, a little disturbed? or more like nervous! but there's also that excitement. Hmm? Anxiousness..

But hey! I found these photos from last year, just two months ago, from my photo shoot with a great photographer Jan Keifer Jaim. My styling for this photoshoot is Boho. Boho style is known for loose, flowy silhouttes, environmentally conscious clothing, ethnic jewelries, warm, earthy color tones, and most of all, being free-spirited! Free-spirited people are someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is always themselves regardless of the situation and lives life to the full. Not restricted by other people's opinions. Ha! I remember myself being like that! and I just found my free-spirited self again when I found these photos!

Keifer is a really great photographer. Well, you can see that in these photos right? He uses both digital and film cameras, if I'm not mistaken. He's friendly when I first met him in the internet, but quite shy in person. But you can live with it. He takes just really few shots, which I find new because I used to take a lot of shots when I do outfit shots just to have 5 usable shots. Hee~ But Keifer noticeably knows what he's doing. I noticed that he doesn't talk much, but as a model, you would feel he knows what he is doing and just trust him with he's work.

And ta-da! I'm so happy with the result! My peg for my second outfit in Keifer's shoot is country! Taylor Swift-ish with the guitar. Yea~ with the log cabins in the background! I feel so happy with these photos! I love them to bits! I've always dreamt to have a photo shoot with a guitar. Hihi. Thanks to Keifer who made this happen!

Anyhoo, Keifer also does collaborations, portfolio, conceptual, artistic, advertisement and commercial work. Just contact him thru his blog.

I hope you all liked this comeback post! Hopefully, I'll get back to my weekly blogging again. I have a lot of unposted outfit photos! Better process them now, and feed you with my fashion! Thanks for still reading my blog. You don't know how I really appreciate it. Really. :')

xx, Jamie
