More To Mica - Life & Fashion Theme Update

It's Fashion Week! I wasn't able to prepare an outfit beforehand because I got sick and I've spent my money on other things.

Thanks to this off-shoulder top I bought a year or 2 ago! Haha. Yep, that long! Hopefully, I looked fashionable enough.





Top the Landmark |  Bag Guess? |  Necklace Claire’s & Stoneriver

Following the Forever21 show are three more brands: ( Sfera ), Uno de 50 & Suiteblanco.

I'm not very familiar with the brands, except for Uno de 50 (entered their shop in MoA once with Patrick & Arizia). Nevertheless, I did a little research.

Sfera is a clothing brand of El Corte Inglés Group (Spain's largest department store company). Sfera is known for comfortable and fashionable clothes.







Uno de 50 is yet another Spanish brand, a jewelry brand to be specific. They first opened their store to public lats May 16, 2014. Not only that, it's also the first Uno de 50 store in Southeast Asia. Their pieces are extraordinary.






The necklace is the main attraction, but I like the cropped top.



And the Abs! (Lol! Just kidding)






Lastly, Suiteblanco, also a Spanish brand. I've heard of the name of the brand before sometime ago but that's the only info I have of Suiteblanco. The brand targets the young and feminine woman with an urban spirit.




This one below is my favorite! It's how I'd dress myself.






From hmm to mhmm! Suiteblanco has got me falling in love. I will now be checking out there stores. So how about you? What brand will you look out for?

It's Fashion Week Again! PhFW Spring/Summer 2015 to be exact.
For sure, Forever 21 is the brand that made me excited to watch PhFW (Philippine Fashion Week). Why? Because it caters to my style (and uhm.. age)

Forever 21 opens PhFW Day 1. They featured four looks that day; Brit Street, Modern Monochrome, New Boho & University Chic. I'm torn between all the looks but I am more inclined to the New Boho and University Chic. Anyway I liked all the looks.

Since it'll be a loooong post. I'll only be sharing with you the looks that are of my style & preference.



Brit Street



I want that furry cardigan from New Boho Collection!



This Cardi also from New Boho Collection.



That print and that dress shape! Also from New Boho Collection




University Chic



I've been wearing monochromes lately. So yeah, probably I can take inspiration from the Modern Monochrome collection.





This look isn't really the style I would wear but I just like how clean, classy and sexy it looks. Great for meetings (If ever I would have any of those situations in the future)
There are also looks for the bros, I could take notes whenever I am going to dress up my LOML/boyfriend. I was watching with my boyfriend during the PhFW shows too.


And... the most adorable part of the show! Are these cute kiddos!!


Super Adorable!!



That's a wrap for the Forever 21 PhFW show.

Decided to go for an all black (oh i am so attached to black, why?) for a shopping day. As seen in my previous post I wore this to Clothes Buffet Manila. It's also the first day for Trendsetter's Bazaar.




I think I can call this look as 'The Sporty-Chic' (if that even works, if you've got a good term for this look would be glad to hear it *wink wink*)

Yey! Finally I feel a bit better than the past few days. I would have posted this the night of October 17 but I wasn't feeling well and was at Trendsetter's Bazaar. I had no time but today.

If you've been reading other blogs or have joined the buffet itself you know what CBM is about. So the challenge was to be able to grab and fit all the clothes you can into the 33x23cm buffet bag in 15 min..

To not bore you with words i'll let the pictures do the talking. Here's my #cbmhaul.



So here's my bag that's about to explode. Haha






My target was to get atleast 10 pcs of clothes. Anddd.. I got 12 pcs!

I had planned to grab all the clothes I like first and then maybe after about 5-7 min of grabbing clothes I would start folding and packing, if I had enough space and time I would go back and look for clothes. On the day itself, i panicked! Because I had difficulty finding the clothes I want. So came out the amazon in me! Hahaha. I went on a grabbing spree. I had 7 min. left to pack the clothes so I decided to station myself on the floor and start folding. The first thing I packed are those that are not that bulky and that I wouldn't want to let go. Also, I got good clothes that are big for my size sooo UGGH, wrong move. Anyway, you see that denim short right there? (It's to prettyyy btw) before the buffet I told myself not to get any denims coz they're too bulky, but then there wasn't a lot of pretty clothes so I just had to get it. And also, the gray maxi skirt (yeah, it's supposed to be gray and not bluish) that's folded below the shorts, when I saw those skirt I was hesitant to get it, just because it's TOO bulky! But anyway I had to have it (again). The reason why I'm sharing you this long story is because I am soo proud of myself to be able to fit a denim and a bulky mini skirt and still get 12 pcs! For me that's an achievement. Hahahaha. If you just saw how I tried to push all those pieces in the buffet bag. (I even broke the lock of the buffet bag)

Here's the list of the brands:
1. Black Tank Top (with Belle Viola Graphic Print) - H&M
2. Yellow Tank Top - Chicoree * Had a small hole  in the front part :( *
3. Being Good Gray Top - BSK
4. Flower Print Top - Nollie
5. Neon Orange Denim Short - Bershka
6. Mint Green Crop Top - H&M
7. YES White Crop Top - Lil Missy
8. Pink Kiss Me Tank Top - Unknown (If you know the brand do comment)
9. Gray Maxi Skirt - Unknown
10. Aztec Print Orange Tank Top - Kirkland
11. Blue Crop Top - Terranova
12. Mint Sleeveless Top (Flower) - L.A. Hearts



I've seen a lot of negative feedback from other girls saying 2k wasn't worth it. I hope Penny Productions (the organizers) will address the issues and concerns of people who felt they were ripped off of 2,000. I do believe that they could still improve since this is just their first.

Before I end my post let me share just one more thing



Weee! I got all giddy when my #ootd got spotted by Sistersecrets.

I'll be posting my cbm shopping outfit in a seperate post. So please check it out as well! :)

I super thank my boyfriend Patrick for bringing me to the venue despite the 4-5 hour drive and also for being the one who shared CBM to me.

Okay, so this is a bit late for me to post but I really want to share this one. You'll know why later on.

So YEY! I got my ticket to Clothes Buffet Manila! I was supposed to buy another ticket for Oct 18 with my friend but the tickets sold out fast just a week after I bought the 3rd wave for Oct 17.
Anyway, you know it's cute that I discovered the event through my boyfriend first! He actually told me that he is surprised that I had no idea about the event that time. Lol. He and my close friends 'think' that I am a shopaholic (which I AM absolutely not *yet* Haha.. or maybe I am already I'm just still in denial)

So since there are a lot of bloggers and some newspapers that talked about the event, I won't be talking a lot about the event anymore. Also, since I've talked a bit too much with just my story.

As the image above, you've (I've) got 15 minutes to pick it, zip it & keep it. I have 1 buffet bag that 32cm x 23 cm in size and 15 minutes to fill it with the clothes I am able to grab. My target is to get 10+. (I hope I could).

I'm feeling really excited for October 17! I'm also excited and hoping for a Season 2, even if there isn't an announcement yet.

Check Clothes Buffet Manila's official webpage or click here to find out how it works. Nevertheless, you can also go google and check out different blog posts/articles on the event. :P
Let me know if your going, specially if your in the 3rd wave too!
