A Little Vintage Shop.

November 7, 2009 by elyoo

These are photos from a friend’s vintage shop in Cubao X. Sadly, he closed it down a few months go and I really miss it. I was supposed to do a photoshoot in his shop but I wasn’t able to think of a good theme/idea before he finally closed it down. Oh well.

He says, no one really knows what the future brings us. .. maybe one day he will re-open the store. I sure do hope that he will.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I have been busy with my new work and I’m starting my fashion design/sewing classes in a few weeks. Wish me luck!

Goodnight Mr. Monkey

October 27, 2009 by elyoo

Come walk with me Mr. Monkey. The forest looks great this time of the year.

Maybe we can find a little spot to lie around all day, or a perfect place for you to stay.

This is your home Mr. Monkey, but I can’t stay here. Don’t worry as I will visit you maybe later this year.

I won’t say goodbye, but I’ll leave you with a promise beneath the majestic moon.

Goodnight Mr. Monkey, I’ll see you soon!

I’ve never been good with goodbyes.

So if you are reading this Mr. Monkey, this is me saying: See you later!

Rules are meant to be broken

October 19, 2009 by elyoo

I was a late bloomer in fashion. Back in high school, when most of puberty were spent on boys, clothes and make-up, I wasted my time on cartoons, books and food.

The very first fashion rule that was shared to me was: Never (ever) mix patterns. It actually made sense to me back then, but now, I think I’m just too old for these rules. I mean, who makes these rules anyway? It’s just an opinion of another person. I wouldn’t mind breaking a thousand fashion rules if I really like what I’m wearing.

As what Santino said sang on Project Runway, Lighten up! It’s just fashion!

Yay!!! I won the Best Fashion Blog award at the 3rd Philippine Blog Awards. List of the other winners are HERE. Congratulations everyone!

Sorry for not blogging about this earlier, I was sick (well, I still am) and really couldn’t get myself to do anything but sleep and drink medicines.

Something I wanted to say…

October 8, 2009 by elyoo

Whoiselyoo is a finalist for the 3rd Philippine Blog Awards!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you (yes, you!) for your continued support to this little project of mine. Eight months ago, I started this blog just because I had a.) a lot of time in my hands, b.) a camera that I barely use and c.) internet. I didn’t really know if anyone would actually be interested in reading anything about me, but I know I had supportive friends who would visit my blog every now and then. (Which I though was enough!) I wasn’t really expecting that a number of people would actually follow this blog. So, from the deepest corner of my heart and cluttered closet, I sincerely thank all of you!

On a different note: Tomorrow is the awards night and I still don’t know what to wear. Yes, I’m kind of pressured to dress well just because I’m a finalist for the best fashion blog award. Haha! Wish me luck!!
