My Best Friend's Wedding

Hi Pinkmates! I am so sorry I have not been updating my blog.  It has been a whirlwind of too much work!  

Anyway, I have been posting here in my blog that we are preparing the wedding of my best friend Marga.  Her wedding took place last May 4, at Acua Verde in Laiya, Batangas.  
Oh it was just gorgeous! It was mostly DIYs between the bride and her friends (including me of course!).  The wedding is rustic with a color theme of Aqua and Coral... very tasteful!

I am just proud that I am part of this beautiful wedding and I want to share a few photos with you... Enjoy!

Preparation...

All bridesmaids have the same robes!

Isn't my waterfall braids gorgeous?

Our make and hair is done and we are set to go to the church!

Look at our parasols!

After wedding ceremony...

We changed into our own outfits during the reception... I wore a shirtdress from Zara

ok.. so that's because of too much Jack Daniels in our body!

I love our photobooth!

Ethan Allen: A Taste of Timeless Series

I got invited to Ethan Allen's event called A Taste of Timeless Series. There are 3 events for the year, 1st was about wine, 2nd on couture and 3rd about watches.  
Since I am a fan of fashion, of course I got invited in this particular event.  There was a special tie-up with Mr. Jun Escario, which I think is a genius designer!  He is one of the.. and sought after designer for the stars.  His gowns are just sophisticated and flatters a woman's figure.

The event was attended by Ethan Allen clients and members of the press.   Cocktails were prepared by Bizu, and such fabulous desserts of course!  

I enjoyed the rest of the night as I am with former colleagues, it's nice to see them again!

A Taste of Timeless Series: Beyond Trends

Cupcake giveaways: Vanilla and Earl Grey.  Earl Grey is particularly good!

One of my favorite photos I ever took!  The lovely ladies of Ethan Allen
