Everything For The Techie: Fashion Bloggers Runway

My biggest exposure as a blogger so far!! OMG~ Can you imagine me walking the runway with my height and awkward walk? Can’t believe I was able to walk the runway again after the Modeling 101. I thought that was my last! But thanks to this event, I was able to experience the runway again!!

Last Sunday, August 23, 2013, ten of the Bicol Fashion Bloggers were invited by the SM City Naga for an event for the techies! And I was lucky enough to lead these bloggers for this event. I never thought that opportunities would finally come to us, after a year of organizing and uniting a group of fashion bloggers here in Bicol.

Can’t hide my happiness! Haha. I was giggling here because I was shocked that my family is seated right in front of the runway! I just couldn't help myself. Haha. My mom is the one holding an iPad capturing me on the bottom left of the photo above. Support! Hihi. I’m really thankful that they were able to come and support me. They don’t usually support me with my blogging, because they kinda still don’t understand what I am doing. Mehehe~

As techies ourselves, we were given a chance by SM City Naga, with their sponsors, Comworks, Samsung, Alcatel, Starmobile and Smart to model gadgets! Before the event, we were given handsets to experience and tell what we love about the gadgets in the show.

The first gadget for me was a Samsung tablet, but I was able to talk about my second gadget during the event, the Nokia Lumia 900 from Smart. What I love about this Windows Phone 7.8 handset, aside from its number of cool features, is its 8 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash camera that takes really clear photos, because you guys know that I'm really into taking photos. Next is its very classy look and its 4.3" AMOLED display that really looks good. And because I am a blogger, I really use my phone a lot, to update my followers, contact persons, etc. That's why I am thankful for the Nokia Lumia 900, because it has a long battery which will enable you to enjoy your phone all throughout the day!

Know more about the gadgets that we modeled on ComWorks and Smart! or visit their branches on various SM Supermalls!

And here’s what I wore during the event! Our theme for the Fashion Bloggers Runway was pink and blue! We just had our outfit shoot inside the mall because we don’t have anywhere to go. Hihi. Would you believe I am wearing head-to-toe thrifted here? *wink*

Necklace from 16th Street Boutique

Make-up by Watsons

Of course I opted to showcase my own style! Girly head-to-toe~ and my girly outfit would not be complete without bows! Bow hairclip & ring from Fingertip Accessories. Twisted bow belt from Genievive.

We're very thankful for all the people who made this all happen, especially to SM City Naga, Smart and Comworks! It was honestly a cloud 9 experience for us Bicol Fashion Bloggers, and I hope more opportunities would come to us after this big break! *u*

Hope you enjoyed this ~~lengthy~~ post! Hee~

A-Fash

KalsadaPH in Naga

"Remember, some people in Ateneo de Naga University may hate you but the more important thing is that the whole Philippines is celebrating your style and passion."

- Bjorn Manila to A-Fash

Those were the exact words Bjorn told us to keep our heads up and get us going with the thing we most love, fashion. I think that was the most inspiring words I've ever heard. As a group of fashionistas in a place where fashion is just about to bloom, I think it's not inescapable for us to get haters from time to time. Gosh, that guy is so inspiring! For those who do not know him yet, he's a very young, amazing fashion photographer of various famous magazines here in the Philippines. He's also the photographer and one of the ambassadors of SM Youth. You can read more about how awesome he is here.

He visited the City of Naga last July 2-4 to capture street style fashion of the Nagueños, for his project KALSADA. Kalsada is an interactive info website that celebrates Philippine street style with an image gallery showcasing photographs of well-dressed Filipinos that will be captured by the proponent from twenty-six key cities in the Philippines. And yours truly, with A-Fash, were the ones to accommodate him and his mom in their trip here in Naga. It was a very short visit, but fun! Bjorn and his mom are so friendly and down-to-earth! Can't wait to see them again this September! He will be one of the speakers for AdNU's Alternative Class Program this sem. :)

It's such a pleasure to get my photo taken by Bjorn Manila! This is what I wore on the first day of meeting Bjorn. Decided to wear comfy clothes because we did some walking around Naga to capture some fashionistas on streets. And hey! We did some thrift shopping too! Hihi. :3

Browse here to see more photos of the KalsadaPH in Naga.

Second day of Bjorn in Naga was intended to meet the A-Fash and capture other Ateneans in their fash outfits too. I always opt to wear laid-back clothes when going to school. But I always make sure to make my outfit fash too, without sacrificing comfort. *wink*

Top: Maldita's Stop | Skirt, Cardigan & Boots: Thrifted | Bag: Romwe

Sorry for the uneven tuck-in. Hee~ This is actually a fringe top, but cutout clothes is not allowed in Ateneo, so I just decided to make this cutie Geek top from Maldita's Stop look like a bow-knot end top. Hihi. What do you think?

Bag: Romwe

Decided to match a colorful armparty with my very colorful outfit too! Hee~ Very me!

Lomo Cam Necklace: Fingertip Accessories

Boots: Thrifted

Geeking out with my SM Accessories eyewear! Hee~

I am really proud to be a part of KalsadaPH! Bjorn's search for fashionistas around the Philippines is not done yet! Keep updated with KalsadaPH's destinations in their page. Who knows? Bjorn might visit your place too! ;)
