Fast Paced

These past couple of months has been a roller coaster ride for both my family and I. Far from the constant lull of my life as an aesthetic nurse and an occasional fashion blogger.

Last February, my boyfriend of 6 years asked me to marry him. Though no formal proposal took place; his intentions and plans were already enough for me, so before his dad left for Saudi Arabia both our families had a little get together and discussed a bit about our plans. :)

9 Days of Christmas Bazaar: Day 3

This is it Day 3! We had to make the most out of this day, not only in terms of sales but also to meet and bond with our booth sisters and neighbors :) 

We decided to dress our mannequin in my current favorite look, "Military and Lace"

9 Days of Christmas Bazaar: Day2

Since day 1 was a bit of a lull, my sister and I did a few adjustments with our booth, small details like changing a pom pom ball from white to green because it looked better in photos, changed the arrangement of our clothes by placing our tees on the bottom rack and our vintage pieces on the upper rack. We also changed some of our accessories on display.

We sold a lot of tees that night :)

9 Days of Christmas Bazaar Day 1

At last! after weeks of photo shoots, our bazaar stint and a wedding  I'll finally have time to blog (you could expect more soon!) :) First up is Day 1 of our participation in the 9 Days of Christmas Bazaar.

It was really weird that I was very calm that day; actually my mind was telling me to feel the nerves, but I just felt...calm, and sleepy even :P So we had all our stuff packed days before, all that was left was to get the table, chairs, mannequin and clothes rack to our garage, once that was done, my sister and I ate a hearty breakfast.

That's me and my lil sis :)

More awesome photos after the break! <3

We're joining a Bazaar! :)

Noticed that countdown timer on our right rail? :) ---------------------->

This year our online store Ombre Vintage will be joining the 9 Days of Christmas Bazaar. Happening on November 27-29, December 12-14 and December 19-21 at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Ayala Triangle Makati. This year's bazaar is going to be extra special because its for the benefit of Ferdinand Center for the Creative, a non- government organization that helps out- of- school young artists become successful graphic artists.  

BTS: Endless Summer (indoor)

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to have our products photographed by my friend Karen at our makeshift home studio; it was as usual a lot of fun! The best part was, we brainstormed about the outdoor shoot at Buddy's over a warm plate of Pancit Lucban and yummy Bacon and Pepperoni Pizza. 

Here's a little sneak peak on our shoot :)

Sister Style: She's Got Claws!

Sorry I have been MIA this past few weeks, I have been undergoing some Tretinion treatments to calm my breakouts. I was planning to pile on some make up to cover them up but on second thought, I think I'll just leave them be and heal. So anyway, my sister's had exposure on my blog and my shop already, I'd like you to see her in her own clothes so that you can check out her style too.

Striped top, Jeggings, Black Cardigan- Landmark, Shoes- SM Parisian, Claw Earrings- OASAP

Again, we are a TRUSTED SELLER :)

Here's another reason to shop with confidence at our store Ombre Vintage, the Multiply Trusted Seller Badge :) 

So what does this do for all our buyers?

Splurge vs. Steal: Bow Back Top

As soon as I saw these tops from my supplier, I stocked up on it immediately!

Made of comfy cotton knit fabric, but a style that's both edgy and sweet.

Genesis 8:7-12 

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro , until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her , and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening ; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off theearth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 

Trend I Love- Floral Pants

Its really hard to dress up with this bipolar weather, and Im sure you wouldn't want to wear anything as gloomy; so heres a trend that I am loving now, floral pants/ leggings. See how your favorite fashion bloggers style theirs.

Project: couple shoot :)

A couple of posts ago, I had a collaboration with my friend Karen Luzon for our latest collection; and for weeks now we’ve been planning another shoot to add to her portfolio, a couple shoot! J well, it would be presented as an engagement shoot but we’d like to call it a couple shoot since my boyfriend and I aren't engaged "yet" (imagine how our parents would think when they find out that we were going to have a prenup shoot without their knowledge! *well this actually happened, my mom asked me about this and we clearly told her it was a COUPLE SHOOT, haha!) .

we've had a lot of photos taken from our camera phone but we'd love to have  a styled shoot :)

We were supposed to do the shoot last weekend but typhoon “Ferdie” had good timing wrecking havoc in Metro Manila; so there we were a bit sad cause of the weather but thankful that it would buy us more time to prepare the clothes (more trips to the thrift shop!) and the backdrop and props that would make our shoot more interesting and a little less amateur (we’ll try our best J )

New in Store: Street Chic Collection

Had a collaboration with my best friend for our latest collection. Her photography skills and my clothes were perfect for this project, check out our super fun weekend shoot in the streets!

Here are a few looks from our latest collection, Street Chic.

My models Audie, Diane and Barbie

New in Store: Leather Studded Wrap Bracelets

Accessories has always been the lifesavers for lazy dressers. Just pile on a couple of coordinating or non- coordinating bangles and bracelets and you're good to go.

So in stock are our faux leather studded bracelets, here are a few pegs after the break :)

New in Store- Candy Colors

We recently launched a couple of outfits on our online store Ombre Vintage this week. With tops and dresses in breathable fabrics and yummy colors you would want to wear it over and over. So here are my picks for this collection, well items that I wanted for myself, hehe...

Ethnic Print Peplum tube dress

1. This Ethnic Print Tube dress can be paired with a denim sleeveless top if you're feeling a little chilly. The peplum detail on the skirt is recommended for people who has a boyish figure.
