Creations

I'm so happy!:) I made my first ever creation ever! 

Last night, I have the strongest urge to make something. (I'm having wild animal urges lately, in a good way, 'kay?) I actually have a vision of creating something out of my old tattered jeans. And that something is....... a pouch! I think it went out actually, well. (I hope). It's pretty usable.  JK! Of course it's usable, at least for me. 

And so, I first attempted to create a purse out of it. I was almost done, I only have to sew the zipper and that's it. But dang, the zipper broke so I have to find another old zipper (I just ripped the zippers from old pouches). But, I didn't find any (of the size, that is). What I found is a medium length old zipper which reminded me that I am in need of a pencil case. My case is now torn and old, like things falling off it. So, I got on with my plan. But, it was wilder! I spent 2-3 hours making the purse. While the case, I spent almost the whole afternoon, from 11-5. WILD! But, I was happy after.:)

Let me just clear it out with you, I don't have any experience in or out of class where I have sewn something. I mean, yes, we had a project in cross stitching and sewing in gradeschool but not making a shirt or something. Another thing, I don't own a sewing machine.:| And, I don't know how to use it, either. So, I did it with my bare hands. Which doubled my efforts and the time spent. But, it's worth it! Anyway, this is my baby.:)

My baby and me

old jeans, old zipper, key ring, thread (lots of it!!)

I know it's just too simple, but still, it's mine! I can't help but be proud.:) I''ll post the purse once I have finished it.

Anyway, this was my favorite look of the week. That day was kinda stressful that's why I only had my outfit shot when I got home. here it is.:)

printed skirt (used as tube), brown belt, white sweater, leggings,
wedge heels (Chelsea), Hand/shoulder bag (gift), heart necklace (own)

That's it! Happy long weekend!

Say hello to my new favorite bag brand. I featured them here before and now I've teamed up with them (hi sir tipu!) to bring you this bonggang giveaway! :) Seriously, I'm obsessed with their bags--so pretty & not that pricey! I initially thought they're selling them within the P1500-P3000 price range. But I was wrooooooong. The skull bucket bag I was eyeing on was just P750! The fringe studded hobo bag I've been parading is just P1100. Aie said the bag looks expensive--and they do feel expensive! Shop HERE.


So, 3 winners will be taking home a CAVA bag of their own. Okay, I'm jealous. I wanted to keep all of them. Haha selfish. Here's what you could win!

Novice Inspiration

It was just yesterday when I found out what I would enjoy to do.

I attended this ACLE (alternative classroom learning experience) in UP Diliman and poof! There I was, yup! I found myself. It was my first time to actually decide (on my own, without any pressures, a.k.a. ACLE as a requirement) to attend a class.

At 12:30pm, I had the strongest urge to attend any class, as in, any at all. I planned to go to a belly dancing class, cosmetic class, HP7.2 screening, stock exchange, divorce bill forum, etc. there's just too many I can't list them all. But of course, you could only attend to one. (dang!) Then, I just stumbled upon UPD Engineering Society's ACLE class, Let me drESs you UP. I thought it would be nice to go because first, Melchor hall is just a few buildings away (this is near, based on UPD standards. I'm in Econ.) and it's FASHION! When I have finally decided, it was already 1:30pm. I'm late! late! LATE!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they haven't started yet (yey!). They had some (more than, maybe) technical problems but they have raffles every time! They have like 30+ pairs of earrings to give away. I kinda didn't know what to expect in this ACLE (since, it was my first time). there have been some delays but once it started, you just can't stop! (wink!)

So, it started off with Lexi! 





and you could say, I'm a novice in fashion. I swear! We were batchmates in Econ!  If I had just known before, i could have been more friendly. Kidding! Shy-type kaya ako! (haha!). I thought she was you-know, uhm, not so kind. But, of course, she's so sweet and all that.

Then, Nikki!




She's really a talented and incredible petite artist. She did so generously raffle some items from +Ruckus. Lovely! For girls and boys, take note! Ann was with her too!


Then, to the business partners and real-life couple, Seph and Shai.






They're just sooo cute. And I must say, they garnered the most questions, personal ones. (blush!)

Finally, these duo. Aisa and Melai!







AND!! they styled 3 of us. Yup! I WAS STYLED!!! It was such an honor to meet them, moreover, to be styled by them! They were so warm and friendly. They're really down-to-earth people. All of them.

And that actually inspired me to try a fashion, er, expression (I wouldn't call it business yet. Who knows?). They were really amazing people. You can't help but be absorbed by them. Awww... I love these people.


Hence, this blog was created and named Novice Inspiration! Novice because I'm new and I have to learn a lot. Inspiration because I will forever remember what these girls did to me in changing my perspective in Life.

A very first post-ish picture.



I miss my curly hair. Next time!
