THE OTHER ANN(E)

Lola graced the Tod's Spring Summer 2013 press presentation wearing this lovely Anne Valerie Hash deconstructed jacket. Acclaimed French Haute Couture designer Anne Valerie Hash shows twice a year in Paris and an alumnus of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. I have been following her amazing work for quite some time so it was love at first sight when I found this deconstructed jacket. I knew right away that this would be perfect for Lola A. I love its deconstructed raw finish. It certainly adds character to the jacket. And the pattern is absolutely immaculate. Definitely a conversation piece!

Bottom - Vintage maxi skirt / Footwear - Rad Hourani signature boots / Accessories - Chanel vintage shoulder box bag

A TOUCH OF RED

Last Oct 24th my dear friend Jun Jun Ablaza celebrated his 18th birthday (etchos!) at Manila Polo Club. Apart from his debut (charing!) there was a photo exhibition featuring some of his museum-worthy creations!  The theme of the shindig was a touch of red. Since both my Mom and I hardly have any color in our closet it was quite a challenge to come up with an outfit. Thank God Mom has a fabulous YSL Cabas Chyc in rouge which I got last summer in Paris. It was the perfect match with her all-black ensemble!

Top - 5cm drapey waistcoat + Giordano Ladies button-down 

Bottom - Giordano Ladies culottes + Random sheer leggings

Bag - YSL Cabas Chyc in rouge / Shoes - Rad Hourani heels

Also, nice bumping into my Mom's amiga Linda Ley (in Rajo Laurel no less) who always look gorgeous! No wonder she's also on this year's Preview's Best Dressed! Again, happy birthday Jun Jun (in Steve De Leon, Rick Owens and Prada) and congrats to the success of the photo exhibit!
