Spotlight on Jamie: collaboration

, by Jamie

A little bit lengthy blog post for these pretty photos taken by my awesome brotha from anotha motha, Vincent Paul Echano! Can't decide which photos to include since it's too plenty for one blog post, but I ended up posting many anyway! Hihi.

Just before 2013 ended, my resident photographer Paul and I decided to have a photo shoot for fun, since it's beneficial for both of us anyway. Me as a fashion blogger, and him as a photo blogger. We enjoyed it to bits! The shoot was full kwento, laughs and adventures. We shot this early in the morning at the famous gimmick-an place in Naga City, the Magsaysay Avenue.

We've never thought that there were already a number of people and vehicles in the place at an early hour! We ended up shooting with people around looking weirdly at us. Mehe~ We're really weird anyway, so yeah...

I just love how my photographer friend and I discuss fashion and photoshoot themes whenever we get to talk online or even in person. So expect more shoots with him in this blog. This guy's one awesomesauce duckling. (You guys should totally check out his photoblog and click follow! He's the coolest, really!!! *u*)

Been planning to wear this coordinate as soon as I found the awesome midriff top I'm wearing here. I'm pretty sure I've seen this on different international online shops, but I just got this at a thrift store! Awesome right?!

I've been liking the hipster style also- coinciding with my style shift. I think it's just so cool and undeniably comfy with so much attitude. I so like hand-combing my hair whenever I'm on hipster style. It's like 'yeah guys just being cool' Hahaha! /just kidding :3

If there would be such a thing like The Jamie 2.0, I'd be glad to have it this year. It would be like the braver, bolder, fiercer (lol maybe not the fiercer hihi) and stronger Jamie. 2013 had been a roller coaster ride for me. Lots of new experiences and attainments, but it kinda ended roughly tho. But yeah, maybe 2014 is my year? I just gotta make it my year.

So yes! Here's a jumpstart blog post on Spotlight on Jamie! So far, I think I'm starting my year right. Hope you're doing well with it too! Life's too short to waste your youth being scared and not taking risks. You've got to taste something that we call life. Don't let a day pass without giving yourself happiness. Because we're only young once. We only live once. #YOLO

Buttons Up!

A month late blog post! Hee *sorry~*

Anyhoo~ This shoot was done in collaboration with Fabulously and Absolutely Rural Made or what they also call as F.A.R.M.!

F.A.R.M is a social enterprise that makes use of discarded buttons and fabrics to create unique and innovative products.

The Ateneans who work with F.A.R.M. at Ateneo challenged us to put up an outfit that would incorporate their products. Wasn't a really hard task for me because their items are known for playful colors and cute designs!

Top: Greenhills | Skirt & Oxfords: Thrifted

So with my outfit, I decided to play with colors too! Mustard, green and pink! What do you think? ;)

Eyewear: SM Accessories | Bracelet: F.A.R.M

Tulle skirt: Thirfted | Pouch and Keychain: F.A.R.M

Oxfords: Thrifted

So here are the F.A.R.M products that I wore! Matching color with my outfit bracelet and a pouch with a cutie voodoo doll-like keychain attached to it. Doesn't everything looks so unique and fab? and I've also heard that each and every piece are made uniquely, no item is made with the same design. So if you'd buy one, you'll be rest assured that you're the only one who has that design! Awesome, right? ;)

F.A.R.M's owner, Ms. Bidibidi, is a passionate artist and a social advocate especially in Baao, where she gathers hardworking and creative youth who cannot afford to go to school to help her create products in turn for a scholarship.

The F.A.R.M products are not only beautiful and trendy but is also coupled with a deeper value. It comes with the story of how Ms. Bidibidi has helped the students and people of Baao, and the environment as well. These stories travelled throughout the country and has reached the community of Ateneo de Naga, where her products are bought and her story appreciated.

And here's a photo with my co-A-Fash members who also joined the shoot, and the people behind F.A.R.M at Ateneo! Thank you guys, A-Fash is happy to help their co-Ateneans! ;)
