This year, I got an invite from Ipanema to attend Philippine Fashion Week Spring- Summer 2012. It partnered with 5 Filipino designers for Resort Wear Collection 2012.

The five Filipino designers are Anthony Nocom, Catherine Cavilte, Dave Ocampo, Lyle Ibanez and Raoul Ramirez. The designers featured the stylish Brazilian flip flop brand as a finishing touch to their latest collections.

I heart Ipanema!  My first pair was a Gisele Bundchen edition. I bought it in March 2008. It is feathery light. It's like you are wearing nothing at all! And very stylish too! I have been a fan since then. 

The brand has been very supportive to my blog that's why when it needs my support, I try to be always present in their events! This May, for the duration of the Philippine Fashion Week 2011, Ipanema has a booth which showcased sandals, wedges and flip flops at the 2nd floor of SMX Convention Center. I was invited to witness and experience first hand Brazil's exotic and vibrant spirit!

Colorful sandals abound the stage area. I took a few photos and waited for the short program to start.

On display:

• Classica
• Anatomica
• Neo Anatomica
• Surf Temas
• Chic Fem
• Flora Fem
• Neo Apliques

The new designs are inspired by Brazil's exquisite sceneries and beaches. Each pair is made up of butter- soft materials with soles that are perfectly padded. At present, the brand has even come up with wedges if you want to go for a more glamorous look.

Last year, all I got was a sign up sheet for Philippine Fashion Week. Sadly, I was not able to attend to any one of the events. Friends of mine would know just how directionless I am. Night Event + Far = No intention of attending alone.

But this year it's different, I got a personal invite from ELRO, exclusive distributor of Ipanema and DH was willing to drive coming from the office. I have to let you in on a secret, DH has to be the one behind the lens so every photos appearing on this post was from his camera lens. 

We were there a few minutes before 6pm. And the line was already quite long. I was given a bleacher seat and had doubt how DH can take a good photo from that spot. DH even muttered "You are not famous that's why you get that seat." Of course, he was kidding or was he not? I don't know. Good thing, I saw Tetcha who was on her way to the long queue along with her sister. She escorted me to another booth were Cel Mabalot was stationed. She handed a green circle sticker which I sticked on my blouse. Green Circle Stickers= First Row Seats!!!

L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5

Yeah, I know there's only 3! I don't need the complete line of L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 to salvage my damaged hair haha Kidding aside, after Mikki Galang of L'Oreal Philippines handed out gift boxes with L'Oreal products, I didn't bother to look inside until I was already home. Thus, the incomplete set. But don't fret, the set I got was enough to manage my once-curly-now-damaged-hair.

L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Repairing Shampoo, Repairing Conditioner and Night Essence Leave In

Case in point, my mom was bugging me to get a hair cut since I can't remember when. Oh,  I remember, since my hair lost its curls. I have thought of chopping my hair but then I thought that I would not look sultry much plus the chubby cheeks haha Then I started sporting side braids and bun. Just look at my picture in previous posts here and here. It's a phase, you know.  And then one day, boom, she asked "Nagpagupit ka ba?" Naks, that's when it occured to me that I used L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Night Essence Leave In the night before.
