Livin high and takin it easy

I just got the entourage cloth for my friend May’s December wedding. Her wedding has a vintage-slash-romantic-slash-Grecian inspired motif and I am sooo excited! Hahaha. That’s something considering I am almost never excited about any wedding. As a matter of fact, I hate weddings. Hahaha. Before I got married, the only wedding I have ever been to was my own. The others, which all came after mine take note, were my sister’s, my brother’s, my cousin Jun’s and most recently, my blockmate from college Marra because I love her so (I lived with her for a month, also known as ampon). That’s just four in all of my twenty-seven years and to think that at my age, I should be going (or should have been at least) to one wedding after the other at this time.

So anyway, I got the cloth and love, love, loved the color which also explains this much excitement. Also, perhaps, just perhaps, it’s only pretty recently that I got into dresses. I remember looking for a dress to wear to Marra’s wedding and I got into this dress-buying frenzy at the store called Stoic in Cubao X. After that I go into all these websites just looking after, and getting very excited, about pretty much every little dress and every little skirt I saw. I feel like a teeny-bopper excited about fashion. *straight face goes here* I was never really into dresses and skirts. I don’t think I even owned one in college. Okay, yeah, I remember having skirts – and they were the ones I found in my mother’s cabinets.. from the 1980s. Yeah, vintage. I love vintage. So there. I am excited about this wedding because it is vintage!!! *overflowing giddiness*

May said this in her wedsite:

For My Secondary Sponsors
Posted by the bride on Wednesday May 13, 2009

My secondary sponsors (Neil’s ate and my friends) will wear cocktail-length pomelo-pink dresses accentuated with bronze gold. The styles of their gowns will be varied. The pic on the left are their respective choices. They all have fabulous tastes by the way!

(This isn’t complete yet. There are still 2 slots that are unoccupied. Calling Virgie and DJ!!! hehe.)

So okay, I don’t have a design in mind yet. Or I had one but I wanna change it! Hahaha. Going through websites again, these are some of the interesting things I found.

Urban Jungle Dress for $99.99 at www.modcloth.com

Blackberry Ice Cream Dress for $84.99 at www.modcloth.com

A Formal Affair Dress for $109.99 at www.modcloth.com

Modcloth is another one of those websites I got to because of Facebook. My, facebook ads do work. I know because I have clicked on one too many of them ads. I suppose I like these Facebook ads. I can’t wait for that time when I will get to make my own Facebook ad. Hahaha.

I love that asymetrical strap on the first dress, along with the huge bow. I love those big roses on the skirt of the second. It reminds me of the shiny red dress with the huge flowers on one shoulder that I wore to Trend Micro’s Christmas Party last year, while I was… *counting one, two, three…* five months pregnant. I love the ruffles and frills on the third. I have always been a fan of ruffles and frills I suppose. I remember wearing those kind of tops in college along with my jeans. Tops that I got from many forays into scattered ukay-ukay shops all over Metro Manila back before everyone else went gaga over anything and everything ukay-ukay. Hmmm.. reminisce, reminisce.

Well, of course those are just inspirations. I have no idea whether the cloth will match the cut. Now I wonder why I did not take up Clothing Tech back in college, or perhaps Design. Oh wait, I know why! Because back then, everyone’s dream was just to become one of any of only the following: doctor, lawyer, teacher, engineer and nurse. And yeah, I should remind myself, I was not into fashion then. Or even little dresses or flirty skirts. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So anyway, I found this interesting site on anything and almost-everything vintage. Click here to visit the shop and here to visit the blog site. I love this blog! *giddy* Seriously, what is up with me?! Am I going to add a category to my site soon called Fashion?!
