More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

It’s Philippine Fashion Week all over again last June 12-14. I got to watch the first day with Lystra again, plus new sweet ladies of Team Clozette Philippines Jara & Christina. And with friends on the second day.


Sadly, we weren’t able to watch the show anymore since all the seats were occupied, even the media seats were full and people have already crowded the place that we can’t even stand up to watch coz’ we couldn’t see what’s going on anymore. This is also because of PHFW’s booking mishap. :(

So the four of us just bonded and ate some food at SM Aura, while Lystra, Jara & Christina wait for the after-party at Raven. I couldn’t go because I had class the next day.



Since my sprain didn’t allow me to wear heels (Huhu, it’s still hadn’t healed during that time but I think it’s okay now).. I decided to wear the white platform sneakers I bought from G.U. Japan. I wanted to be able to wear the panda hat my beau gave me, so I chose a gray top & a gray bodycon skirt as my outfit and added a touch of Iconic Socks’ The Harley with a panda print.








I just got my IPhone 6 so I tried taking my ootd photos.

Thank you so much to my photographer friends: Jara Lucero, Lystra Aranal, Christina Advincula & Patrick Divinigracia.

Yey! Another day to watch Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015. And this time the showcase will be from our very own local designers.

First in line are designers from EsAc.

Opening the show was Jun Jun Cambe whose designs were full on and truly onto the Filipino traditional garments.



The next was Lyle Ibanez, but I would have to apologize for I won't be able to post any photos. As his collection was full black and looking at my photos, their clothes are joining with the background. I wouldn't want you to waste your time looking at jus the model's arms and legs. Hahaha.

Jumping on to Audie Ae. He just had one to showcase, unless add up the guy wearing only a red brief with the EsAc logo at the butt area. Lolz.



Next up is Jeffrey Rogador. This collection I super love together with Jerome Salaya Ang collection which you will also see below.



This look is the first to show up. From then on I was already 'Oh! I'm gonna love these!' and I totally did.



Pegs for when I dress up the love of my life. ❤❤




I could wear this and we'll be matchy matchy. Perfect for our coming 4th anniversary. If only I can. Haha. Love love! ❤❤




Those shoes! I've been seeing mandals over instagram and I haven't got one. T_T



Such a lovely off-shoulder dress from Jerome Salaya Ang. You should know that I am a fan of off-shoulder tops, dresses and the like ever since I don't know, and that's one reason why this collection got me as well.



Look at that print!



Those cuts plus the structure of the dress.



Brilliant! That's the word for the collection Sidney Perez Sio. Just look at how she transformed an originally mens clothing - the barong into ladies' wear.






I'm really delighted to be able to watch PhFW, and to be able to see up close the works of Philippine Fashion designers. It's sad that I wasn't able to go on the third day.

I'd just like to say how thankful I am to God for letting me be part of Clozette. It was such a blessing. I got media passes for the second time around. Hopefully, I can attend as a blogger. (Praying)

Last Saturday, May 31 I was able to attend Philippine Fashion Week. Thanks to the company I work for, Clozette and to Cristina, our marketing manager.

It was a great opportunity to watch the show, and see the designs of local fashion designers. How I envy and wish to be a fashion designer.

My weapon of choice to cover the event was my Olympus EPL-5. I had two regrets that day. Go over my snapshots and finish my post to know what my regrets were. (Warning: Long post but worth it)

Designer: Happy Andrada



Designer: Julius Tarog





Okay so I was trying and trying to get decent photos. Switching over my camera and my iphone to see which will give me a better shot but neither did. So I was about to give up. T_T It was so frustrating.

But I did not give up! I tried to change the mode settings in my camera and viola!~

Designer: Lizanne Cua



Designer: Pat Santos



Designer: Richard Papa



Spotted Cheng (Shermaine) in action.

Designer: Roland Lirio



Designer: Sidney Perez Sio

I was into taking pictures of Cheng I missed Katarina, AsnTM Finalist.


The only picture I got of Katarina that looks decent came out blurred. Anyway, that's her! Haha.



Designer: Vania Romoff



Designer: Veejay Floresca



Designer: Xernan Orticio



Designer: Yvonne Quisumbing



At this point my camera was already running out of battery.


That's a wrap for the 12:30 show and also that's the end of my camera battery life. The two things I regret is first, I wish I had known my camera well and had taken better shots at the beginning of the show, second, I wish I charged my cam's battery or I had an extra battery. Oh well, lesson learned! Atleast I didn't have to edit more photos and create another post for the 3:30 PM show.

The design showcase from the 3:30 PM show were fantastic as well. It was a lost opportunity to take photos but never a lost opportunity for experience.

After the 3:30 PM show which ended past 5 I met up with Patrick to watch X-Men but all tickets for 7PM & 8PM were sold out and we didn't want to stay out late. So we watched Maleficent instead.

I didn't upload my #ootd because I wanted a nice photo but If you want to see what I wore to the event you can check my instagram account: @micabdeleon
