Good Dress Up My Playsuit for Playspace. ELENABLOG

Add Comment
Hiiiii! (in my most giddy tone)
I've missed posting personal stuff in my blog! I'm actually excited to post this one! Again, I'm sorry for the blogging hiatus. I think it's been a month since I've posted something of my own. I'm just enjoying summer and by summer I mean bumming out LOL and doing 'adult' stuff like getting 'adult' i.d.s, and of course job hunting hihi. I'm unemployed, single and having fun! I'm actually not rushing things right now, it's my last summer without thinking about school and not stressing out about anything so I might as well have fun and wait for the serious stuff to happen.

So about this look, this is what I wore at the Playspace event by Acer. I wasn't able to attend Playspace Day 1 because of prior commitments so I was only able to attend Day 2. I asked my friend Jonard on what to wear for the event and he just said "artsy chic". haha He's not serious but I took it seriously and this is what I came up with. I'm keeping myself from wearing jeans/pants. The scorching heat in Manila is unbearable and I cannot force myself to wear clothes that seals in all the heat in my body. I opted to wear my bodycon skirt, a simple black top and this denim vest to brighten up the look. I'm going to commute so I can't risk in wearing heels and I'm too lazy to bring extra shoes so I wore my sneaker wedges! Makes me feel so tall and 'commute friendly' at the same time!;)

Thank you Paowee Castillo for sending me these photos and for Jonard Palteng for taking them.

Some photos during the event!

My favorite speakers! Awesome underwater photographer Mr. Gutsy Tuason and Christina Tantengco Editor in Chief of http://www.kamustamagazine.ph/ :)


and of course the much awaited UP DHARMA DOWN!!!

Fan girling at it's finest!:)








 The event was awesome and educational. We learned a lot of stuff from the guest speakers. The concept of Playspace is to play and learn at the same time. They provided us with party poppers, bubbles, pen, paper, notebook and they also hosted games to keep us entertained. Mad props to Acer for having an event like this!

So there, I'm back to blogging! I promise to keep you guys updated and sorry in advance because I'm planning to post backlogs but don't worry I'll keep it interesting. Another thing, I'm in the process of putting up my own clothing line and will sell it online soon! I'll keep you guys posted!:)

By the way, can you guys do a little favor for me? Like my flier for the Superb by Supersale Bazaar HERE

Good Dress Up SUPERB by SuperSale Bazaar May Edition 2013. ELENABLOG

Add Comment



Whether it's the newest iPad or the latest android phone to hit the market, people are always eager to upgrade their favorite products. The same can be said in the fashion realm�who doesn't appreciate a great improvement on a beloved piece? With a little help from The SuperSale Bazaar team, the organizers have rounded up over 200 local and imported brands to elevate a slew of styles you already adore and create totally fresh looks.

May is one of those transitional seasons where in most of us have no clue on what the weather will bring and what to wear. This is the time of the year in the metro wherein we look to our icons and the tastemakers in the fashion industry to guide us so we can easily glide through this month. Unlike countries that have four seasons, May is like the thorn between the super sunny hot and rainy June. Going out can be such a chore, as you don�t know if you should wear a light breezy summer dress or gear up for the wet weather.

It is always refreshing to know that the team behind the longest running fashion bazaar in the metro, SuperSale, has created Superb- a 5-day long event this May 22-26, 2013, Wednesday-Sunday at The SMX Convention Center. Shoppers can expect up to 90% off sale on summer items and at the same time new collections and must-have pieces for the second half of the year. This was created last 2012 to celebrate Philippine fashion and the latest trends for the next season to be introduced to the fashion-obsessed making this event the 3rdunder Superb�s belt.

Aside from the hourly raffle, the team is also giving away goodies by posting on Instagram and Tweeting your favorite looks and pieces to win prizes. Don't forget to also post which tastemakers and bloggers are topping your best-dressed list! Try to get a snapshot with them during the 5-day fete. Do follow @supersalebazaar and tag #supersalebazaar. Tons of prizes await!

Of course, I want to see you guys in this 5-Day Fab event for dear shoppers like you so I'm giving away 10 free passes to 10 lucky readers! All you have to do is:

1. Follow SUPERSALE BAZAAR on Twitter and Instagram: @supersalebazaar
2.Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @nicooolesantos
3. Tweet me: "I wanna shop at SUPERB by @supersalebazaar @nicooolesantos !"

I will randomly choose 10 winners and they will be included in my guestlist for the said event. I will announce the winners on May 19, 2013 Sunday. I will personally tweet them and post their names here on my blog. If you didn't reply after 24 hours, I will choose another winner. Good luck and see you this May 22- 26 at the SMX Convention Center Hall 4!:)

SuperSale Bazaar Summer Edition 2013

Summer kicks off surprisingly early this year and we couldn't be more excited for three days of majorly on trend brands and fashion-forward event attire. But before you gear up and before we open the doors of one of the biggest tents in Manila, we must tease you a little so you can bring all the proper essentials to the event � any gadget with a camera, most secure yet fashionable bag and of course your most festive day dress.

Given that our country has only two seasons, for us Filipinos, the arrival of summer means that the heat can be unbearable. No more edgy jackets and layered styling, in fact, we say hello to irritable weather-affected netizens ranting away in cyberspace. On the plus side though we all look forward to that beach trip, cute tan lines and breezy summer dresses. This is where our team comes in to help ease through the scorching transitional phase and make you enjoy summer. 

As the season heralds a return to brighter colors, floral patterns, and eye-catching accessories, which is why today we bring you an outstanding roundup of over 200 brands full of summer essentials whether or not you will be stuck here in Manila or out partying on the sands of Boracay. Happily, there are tons of quintessential pieces in the 15thinstallment of SuperSale Bazaar, as we've rounded up an array of intriguing ensembles and labels for your pleasure. From Soak�s international caliber stamped swimwear, Tonic�s celebrated comfy flats, Glitterati�s awe-inspiring cocktail dresses, Moonshine�s relaxed yet event-worthy gowns, Queen Street�s versatile bags to Flutter�s intricately created semi-precious accessories.

While these established brands have been consistently present in our bazaars, we've also uncovered a huge pool of untapped brands that are worthy of your attention. But we will leave it at that to add some mystery to our much-awaited bazaar to date. So come on and spend some time with us during the official start of summer to find out what must-haves are in the market. SuperSale Bazaar�s Summer Edition is happening on March 1-3, 2013 at the World Trade Centerfrom Friday-Sunday, 10am-9pm.

Post on Instagram and Tweet your favorite looks and pieces to win prizes and don't forget to tell us which tastemakers and bloggers are topping your best-dressed list! Try to get a snapshot with them during the 3-day fete. Don�t forget to follow us @supersalebazaar and tag us #supersalebazaar. Tons of prizes await!
