Back in the Summer of '69 - Those were the best days of my life.

Best Blogger Tips
Summer is definitely here. Thinking about summer always gives me the creeps. You can't blame me, here in the middle east I always have to get myself ready to battle the roasting heat. The best way to beat the heat that I thought of is to welcome it with style. This summer, I vow to embrace the VINTAGE trend. Vintage fashion in its true sense is to blend the classic line with the modern ardor. Refreshing to the eyes, it offers an option of combined earth and pastel colors. Aside from that, the comfortable fabric and the relaxed patterns will totally help us cool down.


I'd like to share how special this collection is to me. Let me send my love to the brains behind every shoot we do for each batch of style that I feature. Rona, Chat, Rach and Tine for helping me organize, from brainstorming, shopping, scouting for locations, taking wonderful photos and for keeping up with a RAW (tuod, hinde marunong magpose, ilang na ilang) model like me. These guys comprises my dream team, such talented stylists, make up artists, photographers, lahat na - what makes it exceptional is that none of us are pros in these fields. For this shoot God sent us his army of angels who offered to help us make things more beautiful. Mr. Ramil Leonida, a well trained photographer and his friend Kuya Ronnie rendered assistance in this little madness we've created. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness. Kuya Ramil and Kuya Ronnie, super DA BEST kayo! :) Kuya Ramil is offering on site and studio portraiture services here in the UAE. So for those who'd like their picture taken strikingly, you may contact him at +97150 8762183.
