So cute!

Wore this bandage dress on my graduation yesterday. The bandage dress is probably one of my favorite trends recently and I don't mind trying it especially if the dress is so cheap..=) I bought this dress in SM department store for 1,100 pesos ($25). I was surprised that SM had these kind of designs.. I was so giddy after accidentally discovering this dress!! "We've got it all for you!" indeed!! (For non-Manila readers: That is the SM's jingle hehe)

After graduation, the whole family + BF ate dinner. I was so full it was showing in the dress!!

Note to self: Bandage dress + Buffet = not a good idea haha!!=P

My GradBall Gown

Please ignore the severe looking hair color!! I'll have it repaired in a few months haha..
Oh, whatevs it's just HURR..

This is the gown I was talking about in other posts.. I think it turned out nice.. You know where I got the inspiration right? I almost panicked because I went to the seamstress last Friday and the gown didn't have any beads or those criss cross things yet!! But good thing it was finished on time.. My gradball was Monday and I had the gown picked up at 2pm on the same day! Buzzer beater!!

Our graduation ball had an awards night/red carpet theme. They were giving out awards like future secretary of health, future doctor to the barrio, loveteam of the year, nottie to hottie among others.. And I won Fashionista award!!=)

(with the coolest people in Medschool=P)

After the program we wanted to go to Luneta (uhmmm, how do I describe it.. a national park? a park with Jose Rizal's statue? haha) and take pictures.. trip lang! The 2 BFs don't approve of the idea but 3 camwhores vs 2 camera shy.. Majority wins! But there were no parking spaces nearby so we ended up in Manila Bay area.. Camwhoring is always fun!

After camwhoring in Manila Bay, my friend Maneesh wanted to drink again (because the open bar had diluted shots!).. So off we went to a diner in Makati Avenue in our gowns!! Drank and talked about our favorite childhood games. So fun! Went home at 530 am..

My graduation is today!! Yey for me! haha..
Have a nice day everyone!

My Bryanboy dress + Gradball jitters!

I styled the boy. Who says you can't wear a printed tie with a pinstriped suit?
It blends so well, IMO.

(People are People dress; Celine shoes; Vintage Nina Ricci bag)

I bought that jacket/dress last July 2008. As usual, when I went home I went online to check out my favorite blogs and to my surprise Bryanboy was also wearing that dress! I was so delighted I blogged about it in my old multiply blog hehe..=P Yesterday, the boy and I went to the mall to look for a tie and afterwards I had eyelash extensions. Ahhh gradball preparations are killing me! I made a list because there's just so much to do. I'm nervous about my dress because although I saw it on the fitting day there weren't beads yet at that time..

Stop by my blog soon, I''ll be doing a post about my gradball gown in the next few days..=)

Inspiration: Balmain + Cary Santiago

The best thing about graduation = I'm done with medschool!! I'm "almost" a doctor already..

The next best thing = I get to design my own gown for our Graduation ball!! I hope the seamstress will be able to execute it properly and I hope it won't be too expensive! *crossing my fingers* Ahhh I'm so excited!!

My everyday style is more subtle now than when I was younger, but when it comes to gowns I'm the more-the-merrier kind of girl!! Give me layers and layers of tulle, beads and satin!

The 1st 3 gowns are by Filipino designer Cary Santiago. I am so amazed by his talent. Look at the silhouette and the intricate layers of tulle! The next 4 dresses are Balmain.. I love the dresses they are so unique, girly and edgy at the same time. Christopher Decarnin is a genius.. I love him..=)
