Awesome Jad Montenegro's EP Launch Is Awesome

The girl with the purple hair, Mandy. :)

Aidx and I were among the early birds at the scene.

Aidx and I got our CD's signed by Jad! Weee...*hearts*

It's a keeper.

It's my first time at Hip House, wanted to go to all the events that happened before, but sadly the timing was never on my favor. Luckily this Saturday was. *thank you my lucky stars* 

Simply put, this place is amazing. You could see the stage anywhere in the room!

With a whole lot of love for music in my heart, I have a huge respect for the people responsible for the sounds that saves us, I had a lot of stuff going on in my life right now, and being there, having to meet new faces, getting to hang out with old ones, and having to experience the music first hand, was awesome.

Was swaying along as the bands played and just enjoyed the awesome home grown music.

Astonished on how the lyrical content was extremely motivating and speaks of having the fire inside of you to push through your troubles.

*slow clap*

And the award for best supporting hubby goes to John Amor.

Jad and John, what a kick-ass couple.

Awesome Jad taking the stage.

Style Icon: Agyness Deyn

"It's like you're screaming but no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good."

-Agyness Deyn's monologue on Rihanna's We Found Love music video.

Thankies Aidx for filling me in on this.

  

Purr-fect, major-girl-crush-alert!!! Could anyone blame me? The English model, actress and singer has it all. You just gotta love everything about her, her style, her hair, her voice and her attitude.
 On this video where she walked for Naomi Campbell's charity fashion show, she fell two times, but never showed any negative vibes, she just smiled, laughed, took off the shoes, and continued walking, like a lady.


Aggy is a chameleon, her style is eclectic, her style is a mixture of androgynous, punk rock, vintage, 70-80's, minimalist, to anything she sets her mind into... 

If I could be anyone for a day, I'd be her.

She looks good on anything!!! I bet she'd still be awesome even if she wears a sack.

Liberate Your Feet w/ the Havaianas Filipinas 2012 Collection

Its  fresh from the summer season, and it's the perfect time to once again for Havaianas to welcome back its patriotic fashionalism with this year's Havaianas Filipinas 2012 collection,  already on stores nation wide.

In line with the Havaianas celebration of 50 years of happy fashion, summer, and good memories, as the world's leading flip-flops brand is bringing another reason to inspire Filipino Havaianaticos to celebrate and become stylishly loud and proud with a collection that has become close to their hearts.

Since 2006, Havaianas has honored the Philippines’ rich and colorful culture with its annual Filipinas collection. 

“Our National Independence Day has significantly inspired the brand to bring pairs that convey stylishly patriotic Havaianas flip-flops," shares Anne Gonzalez, Managing Director of Havaianas Philippines.

 "This year, what we have in store is a bolder and edgier design in three colors: brown, black and blue. This collection’s style, of course, is aligned with the brand’s much-loved fun and carefree fashion that Filipinos have strongly identified with over the years.” 

Given that patriotic fashionalism has always been the bright idea behind every Havaianas Filipinas pair, this year’s collection features bold and graphic letters in white and gray, which spell PINAS on its buttery soft soles. Meanwhile, its straps are embellished with rectangular pins thoughtfully created with the Philippine flag’s colors—blue, red, white and yellow.

In keeping with its fun fashion credo, Havaianas Philippines is also spearheading the 

”Liberate Your Feet” campaign for the Filipinas collection as a way of going further in sharing national pride. Posters, in three colorful variations, are set up on all All Flip-Flops stores nationwide, along with authorized provincial retailers. By taking an Instagram of the poster from June 6 to 27, a Havaianatico stands a chance to win a Special Havaianas Package. At the promo’s end, 50 winners will be declared (visit www.facebook.com/havaianasphilippines For the complete set of mechanics).

Trendy and exciting, Havaianas Filipinas 2012 limited edition collection is definitely crafted to make every Filipino Havaianatico wear and banner their national pride, in literally, the fun-fashionable way.

Style Icon: Audrey Kitching

"Twist and tear and boogie woogie"

-Audrey Kitching if ever Grunge and LOLcats got married,  Audrey would probably be their baby. Best known as a "scene queen" and a fashion writer for Buzznet. I'm absolutely in-love with her style, just like most of my style icons, she's unpredictable. I think she changes hair color depending on her mood, you can never see her in a single hair style for too long. 

I first heard about her way back when she became Panic @ The Disco's Brendon Urie's girlfriend, but she was more of a "scene kid" back then, now, she's this vintage glam, cotton candy pink haired, sometimes grungy girl... I can't keep track on what her style really is, its so hard to define.

She's has a lot of haters online, well everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I don't personally know her so I can't say I hate her, or love her, because she's sometimes inconsistent with what she says and actually does, she also tends to be mean sometimes, on her tweets, her replies to rude comments, but heck! We're all mean!!! Nyahahaha!!! Regardless of whatever the hell she truly is, you have to say, the chick has style.

Even if her haters tell her that she's a copy cat which is preposterous! Some people tend to hate on awesome people, because their brains cant comprehend your awesomeness! 

Audrey manages to maintain her awesome hairstyles, cuz she's a hairstylist.

Audrey and Taylor.

She's a vegan.

With Hanna Beth 

I'm not only in-love with her style, but with her boyfriend since forever Daniel Barrett as well. NYAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
