The Happy Mommy Event

Last Mother's Day, I had a pleasure working with ABS-CBN's Working Mom magazine and Lifestyle Network for their Mother's day celebration at Trinoma Ayala Mall.  It was the first time I got invited to style 4 real moms for their fashion show.  These work-at-home-moms are full time mothers who take care of their kids without any helper/nanny.  They work from home and they have their own businesses.  The concept of the fashion show was to showcase different options for moms, amidst their busy lives (running their households, businesses, taking care of the kids), they are still able to look beautiful and fashionable!

That's me about to go on stage :)

On stage with host Patricia Hizon

My friends and I goofin' around with their photo op area! hehe...

Pulled-out some clothes from Mommy Matters (fashionable nursing wear), Karimadon, Maldita and The Ramp to create different looks for the 4 moms.  Had a wonderful time with the Mommies! They are all beautiful inside and out (with a bit of craziness while we were at the backstage - they looove to sing!)
Sorry, the photos are still with ABS-CBN :)  I just want to show you few photos from the event :) I promise to show the photos of the mommies as soon as I have them!

Looking Back At 2011. Looking Forward for a Fabulous 2012!!!

2011 was the year I had the courage to start thepinkmateproject. I am not a writer but I find that blogging is a way for me to express how much I love fashion, makeup, food and traveling. Maintaining this blog is a good de-stress after work, because all the other bloggers you encounter are just nice and fabulous!!!  One word to describe blogging - POSITIVITY!  


A lot to be thankful for, it was a fairly good year.  


Some highlights of 2011:


1.  My very first entry at thepinkmateproject - Spending Time with the Masters
     http://thepinkmateproject.blogspot.com/2011/04/spending-time-with-masters.html
     
     My love for food has been confirmed by the event which I started 2010, The Miele Masters Series.  Meeting all the top chefs in the country was truly unforgettable, that's why this was my first post.

2. Fashionable year - my different looks for 2011

3. Fashion Companion - bought different books that would inspire me and my outfits

4. Gadget addiction - ever since I started blogging, I have been attracted to different gadgets in the market.

5. Travels - One of my love is traveling and discovering new places here in the Philippines and abroad. 


Ilocos - my home town

Baguio - I've always loved the weather and pine trees.

La Luz - sea, sun and sand, always the best R & R

Vietnam - the heat is always on in Saigon

6. Makeup Class - this year I enrolled at CCMA for a make up course.  This is to enhance my skills in putting makeup, not just on me but on others.  

To all my pinkmates, thank you for the continued support and visits in my blog!


CHEERS to a more fashionable and fabulous 2012!!!




Your pinkmate,


Vanessa :)

In Bloom Inspirations

I love flowers. During our cooking event with Chef Kalel Chan (Museum Cafe, Chelsea Market, Mr. Jones and Momo Cafe) I required our designers to create floral arrangements as centerpieces on the tables. I love the outcome and got ideas for my color inspirations and combinations from these flowers.

Red Carpet Moments - AmfAR's Cinema Gala

Red carpet has always been my favorite part of a movie premier or an awards night.  Everyone is so beautiful and the gowns are just perfect.  Here are some of my favorites at the AmfAR's annual cinema gala at Cannes.
