CHARLOTTE IS FREE

I always have those moments when I see pink-haired models in prints and thought and even assume that it’s Charlotte Free.

Here’s Charlotte for Forever 21’s ad campaign, Love is Free

Charlotte is free, unique and most especially, she rocks!

CHECK

Before I post my experience during the Philippine Fashion Week, here are few inspirations on what to wear if you’re going to attend something like a fashion show..

The best tip that I got is to wear heels or something a little bit-not-sky-high and oh, booties will do. You will just sit down to watch so I guess there won’t be a problem plus it’s really eye-catching when you have that “killer shoes” 

For two days, I’ve been stressing myself on what to wear and that’s a no-no. You should be prepared days ago or even weeks ago if you don’t want to be pressured. 

Do NOT be “fashionably late” - You don’t want to miss anything during the show. Like what models do, you should be there before the call time. Models are not supposed to be late and so are you.

Wear something that shouts your personality. Two days before the show, I was planning to wear something like this by Sky Ferreira but later on, I changed my mind because the leather mini skirt that I own doesn’t look good on me and I don’t like it at all either. Besides, I want something sexy and show a little bit of my skin and yes, that’s very me and I did it! 

Keep it simple, you don’t want to be the center of attraction (do not outshine the models on the runway) all along. Yes we do want the attention but not too much of it. Remember that the people around you (including yourself) are there to watch.

Most importantly, if you want to enjoy every bit of the show, do not take pictures the whole time unless you’re a photographer. Just take a picture of the looks you like and that’s it. And oh, a basic camera is only advisable (based on my experience) if you’re on the front row seat.

I got most of the pictures from Chictopia. Of course except for Sky Ferreira and Alexa Chung’s

LOLA

I saw these clothes inside my closet and I tried them on. The skirt is vintage, it’s my grandma’s. Since I don’t know what to do this afternoon, I wore them. I paired it with boots.

I added effects to look vintage-y

The one thing I’ve found is that no matter what you wear, if you feel good in it and you love the way you look, that’s all that matters. You don’t just wear something because it’s a designer label or it’s trendy—you wear it because you love it.

Blake Lively, Chanel’s newest ambassador for their Mademoiselle handbag line.

When I read this particularly “…no matter what you wear, if you feel good in it and you love the way you look, that’s all that matters” I remember my own style advice that I said years ago “I believe that everything will look good on me no matter how expensive or cheap it is. The thing is, if you feel bad, no matter what you do, you will not look good.” Somehow similar to her view and maybe we’re actually similar because she also said that, “For most of my life I didn’t have access to designer clothes.”

MY MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY

I didn’t know I owned a Mary-Kate and Ashley skirt. I know this skirt but I didn’t know that it’s by the Olsen twin coz I was little then. While my cousin is looking at a bag full of our old clothes, he handed me that skirt and my hand went on looking for the label and suddenly I was like, whoa! That was the time that my mom is the one who is choosing my clothes and go shopping for me.

A large part of being chic is being comfortable and dressing for your lifestyle. No matter how much you love them, clothes that don’t fit your everyday criteria will collect dust.
