GOING VINTAGE

After my "subtle hiatus"...I'm back! Been so busy lately so I haven't had time to blog. But here I am alone on a Tuesday afternoon, drowning myself in a pool of job searches. It gets so consuming sometimes you know, so might as well take some time off and blog.

About two weekends ago, my friends and I participated in a photoshoot organized by some friends in the office. I'm not really the "poser" type. Not really comfortable being photographed solo to say the least but in my quest to try something new, I gave it a shot!
And so how did the "Vintage" concept come about? Well, one of the organizers of the shoot (and by that I meant Damian) asked me what kind of concept do I want so I instantly volunteered a "Vintage Glam" sort of concept. Got inspired with Anne Curtis' pictures from her Freeway ads.

Thanks to such good photographers Damian, Lyra, Kent, Christian, Faye, Ryan & Edfel.
Here are some photos taken from the shoot.

Most of the outfits worn were from UK UK (ukay-ukay). You can definitely spot unique fashion finds there. I especially recommend hunting for "it" outfits that you can use for parties, photoshoots, events or what have you. There are air conditioned ukay-ukay shops in Fuente (opposite Robinsons Department Store), Coco Mall, Raintree Mall and near Colonade wherein the clothes are already sorted and hung for easier selection. I personally prefer these stores since I cannot literally "ukay" due to my Allergic Rhinitis. Believe me, you'll find treasures from these ukay-ukay shops. Branded clothes at a cheap price anyone? :)
