FashSin City

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

I say what happens in Vegas' hotel casinos aren't just endless partying and gaming but over-the-top fashion shows with endless street style inspirations as well.

Needless to say, fashion weeks are bookmarked events of bloggers. Covering a show opens huge doors of opportunities--from connecting with brands and designers, to gaining friendships with other fashion bloggers, to finding outfit updates and inspirations, to being photographed and featured by fashion police. 

It is my dream to be a regular attendee of fashion shows. I'd love to say yes to all invites if only I live in my country's capital city, Manila. But a probinsyana blogger has to do what a probinsyana has to do. And that is, to inspire and be inspired. :)

For this look, I was inspired by Ethical and Ethnic themes of the recent May 2013 Las Vegas Fashion Week. The designers' creations were bold, modern, and patternistic. I always thought that Vegas-inspired fashion is limited to the glitz and glam and the sexy but seeing playful elegance walking along Vegas runways erased my crooked disposition. Indeed, Las Vegas isn't just Sin City, it is a FashSin City!

Back On Track

I daydream a lot. And oftentimes, I don't get schoolwork done promptly because I spend 70% of the time thinking of what if's and what could be's. Tonight, I will make one of my daydreams happen by posting outfit photos with a hopeless hope that my motivation to study will be restored--that I will finish what's ought to be done--so that I can finally have some guiltless, well-deserved weekend sleep.

Just Got Lucky.

...and super blessed! (so sorry for blabbing)

It's thirty minutes past midnight but here I am, blogging. This should have been posted last Wednesday but I was busy with a number of things which I'd rather not elaborate. And I couldn't stand another day of delay for thanking everyone who in one way or another supported, inspired, guided, and prayed with me to achieve... Arggh, too drowsy to get senti now. But I QUALIFIED FOR THE WVSU-COLLEGE OF MEDICINE ADMISSIONS! There. Yeee. I got in! And this time, I'm 101% certain to enroll on June! 

I can't wait to call myself a medical student. :)

Holy Week's activities distracted me from being anxious so it only sinked in last Sunday that the results are going to post an epic effect on my career path since I only have one target school. And not getting in would mean losing my chance this coming school year.

  

I have Chinese blood but we're not really practicing Chinese. I do hear often though that red is a lucky color and polka dots attract luck. So I decided to wear polka dots since Sunday (sadly, no photos). Received alot of polka dotted items from my grandmoms anyway and I felt that this is the perfect time to wear them. But effective or not, there is just so much goody-ing  this week.

I don't have Adobe Photoshop yet, but I discovered that I have this Arcsoft Photostudio 2000 (yes, very retro) and tried it. Whatever happened to my photos is not Arcsoft's fault. I just suck in editing, that's it.

:D

Sixth from bottom! This is the first of three pages, btw.
Congratulations to all who got in!
My fingers remain crossed for my friends who are still on the waiting list. I'm praying for you, guys!

And have I mentioned that I completed my IV Therapy requirements last Thursday?
Thank you Saint Anthony Hospital ER staff!

My blog's turning a month old on Sunday! I have blog resolutions to post tomorrow. :))
How did your week go?


Much love,
