AGORA Magazine Feature: Renegade Remix

Second outfit on my AGORA Magazine Feature is now up! So yes, recently, I’ve been featured in the very first arts and fashion magazine in Bicol. No biggie~

..loljk Are you kidding me? I’m still feeling the kilig whenever I get to see my beautiful photos taken by my rad photographer friend, Paul Echano, in the pages of the second issue of AGORA Magazine. THE AGORA Magazine!

Here’s a preview of my second look on the AGORA Magazine! Pages 43-44.

So if you haven’t read my blog post about the first outfit I had on the magazine yet, I did a fashion editorial on this Bicol magazine featuring only items that I’ve bought at thrift stores, a.k.a. ukay-ukay! You’d be surprised that AGORA challenged me to pull off a whole outfit with a budget of just 500 below for this fashion editorial!

In this outfit, would you believe that I only got to spend Php550? Yes, head-to-toe! My Corset Top only costs Php150, Denim Jacket for only Php100, Denim Skift for Php50, and my trusty Chunky Heeled Boots only costs Php250!

Yes, you can really have a magazine-like ensemble in just ukay-ukay finds here in Bicol!

Almost Is Never Enough

I've been having LSS on Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes' duet of Almost Is Never Enough for like a month now. Still can't get over it. I've been such a big fan of Ariana since her days as 'Cat' on Nickelodeon's Victorious. I think she's just so awesomely weird and a perfect definition of pretty and cute. And oh, don't you think Grande and Sykes look really perfect for each other? The news about their break-up was very much devastating. But maybe there's really no perfect relationship. Oh, just like in the song...

The smile I'll miss...

I actually don't have something to share to you guys about my life right now. So yeah, let me fill this blog post with my favorite lines from their song Almost Is Never Enough. You can also listen here so you can feel the song while enjoying this blog post. Oh the feels~ :')

Top, Cap & Sneakers: Thrifted | Denim Polo: Greenhills | Socks: Forever 21

"I'd like to say we gave it a try

I'd like to blame it all on life

Maybe we just weren't right

But that's a lie, that's a lie."

"If I could change the world overnight,

There'd be no such thing as ~~goodbye~~.

You'd be standing right where you were

And we'd get the chance we deserve."

" 'Cause sooner or later

We'll wonder why we gave up

The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough..."

Dusk Dreamer

Had a shoot again with my magnificent photographer Paul Echano a few weeks back! Wasn't really a good day for a shoot because it was freakin' cold and a little bit rainy outside, but I still like how the photos turned out! The color of dusk in a rainy day~

Top: Forever 21 | Panda Cap, Skort, Platform Sneakers: Thrifted

Built my outfit on my new favorite denim skort. Paired with my adorable Forever 21 midriff top. Swear, it was freakin' cold that day that I almost lost the courage to take off my thick sweaters for the shoot. Haha. Oh, for the love of fashion blogging~ And thanks to thigh high socks for keeping me warm and cute also! :3

As usual, the shoot was great and I got to meet some awesome friends of Paul also! The shoot was actually their barkada’s shoot. I’m just a "saling pusa," (or should I say "saling panda?" lololol omg get the joke? hahahashtag sabaw~) on their shoot. They went out for a shoot because they need to change their display photos on Facebook. Awesome people. I mean, who else does that? lol They also happened to be my blog readers, and artsy people as well! which is extra awesome. I srsly had a blast! (Love you, guys! hihi)

As of the moment, I'm balancing all my academic and extra-curricular stuff, and I'm doing my best to make the most of my remaining college days. So yeah, I'm super duper busy lately. But of course, blogging is still on my list! I'm pushing it. Doing my best to do just everything. Hee~

Well, I hope you're having a blast and making the most of your life too! ..and I hope to see your name givin' some love on the comment box also! Hihi

Much love, Jamie ♡

Feel Good

A feel good outfit post for my comeback. *u*

Heya guys! Missed my bangs? I mean~ missed me? Haha. I still have a lot of backlogs and my sembreak had started a week ago, so here I am trying to do some catch up.. even though I can still hear my bed calling me all the time. Hee~

Uhh~ Super duper late blog post, that you'd notice that I still have full bangs here. Hihi. So sorry for being MIA for almost a month. I just felt that I needed a lot of rest after another stressful semester. School have been stressing me out a lot lately more than you'd notice. Graduation is just a few months away! *konting kembot na lang*

Dress & Boots: Thrifted | Bag: ROMWE

Anyhoo~ This shoot was I think before the 1st semester begun. I was thinking of a perfect picnic outfit to match my cutie pootie Romwe picnic bag! Then I came up with this denim dress, red vest, paired with brown boots and a fedora! What do you think? ;)

I think I've already shared to you guys that I have a fetish for picnic-ish bags. Hoho. So kilig I found this cutie one from Romwe for a pretty good price! ;)

Necklaces & Ring: Yen's Butingthings | Bracelet: MNG

Thrifted Boots

Sorry again for being MIA!! Hope I'll be able to blog more for the coming days. Anyhoo~ I'll be going to Manila this week. Hope I'd bump into my blog readers there. Hihi.

Toodles!~

Rusty Train

Awesome photo, right? Looks like I'm inside a film. Err~ If you get what I mean... Haha!

Few weeks ago, I've had an awesome shoot with some Digital Illustration and Animation students from Ateneo. It was a fun shoot with fun people! It's my first time to go to PNR, and I'm sure that it's not going to be my last! Railroads, trains, junks, and more trains!! omg~ I was invited to model, but I was tempted a hundred times to borrow the photographer's camera to shot some photos (I forgot to bring my camera, ~~dammit~~!) because the location is just so vintage-y junky cool.

Cat Hat: Romwe

Exploring this rusty train! Hee~

I was asked to dress up with the theme urban and vintage. This is the urban set, and this is what I've come up with! I'm not really sure what exactly urban style is, but what came up to my mind immediately was blacks, denims, plaids and edgy boots! I styled it minutes just before I went to the location! Haha late ._.

Top: Scrunch | Shorts: Guess | Boots: Thrifted

Aztec Necklace: Personalized Accessories | Eyewear: SM Accessories

And my most favorite photo of all. :3

I am now waiting for this train to take me anywhere... ♪♬

Thank you Ja, Paul, and the rest of the team for the awesome photos! (and for the Pizza Hut snacks! lol)

Laces and Denim

It's been a while since I've posted a girly outfit here. Thanks to OASAP for sending me a girly top! Now I'm girly girly again! ;) And oh, these photos were taken just earlier after I attended mass. First time in a long time to post an outfit post in the same day that it was taken. Hihi. I'm forever late mag-blog! ;p

Photos taken at Ateneo. Ateneans! Can you guess where this place is? ;)

Top: OASAP | Skirt: Thrifted | Shoes: Melissa

Built my outfit with this Lace Embellished Shoulder Turndown Collar Cotton Shirt from OASAP. I really love this top! with the lace embellised shoulder and the knot thingy at the bottom. So girly! Thanks OASAP!
