Makeup look-Purple Drama

Went to a friends house for dinner and this was my outfit. I dont want to wear something fancy but instead I just accessorized. The necklace I bought from a tiangge in Eastwood. I love the rocker chic look.

This pumps is 5-6 inches high! I rarely use this ( this is the 2nd time) because although its comfortable, the pumps is a bit loose. hahaha.gotta buy more silicone shoe pads.

me and hubby at dinner...

ohh love this shoes...just cant wear it! hahaha.

Do you have a pair of shoes you love but just cant seem to wear? :-

Subtle gold eye shadow for the holidays

This is the makeup look I wore last night at a birthday party my husband and I attended. This photo was taken using my Ipad2,  5 hours after application. The onl thing I retouched when I was there was my lipstick!

The eyeshadow is gold and matte light brown (taupe). This makeup is perfect for parties and for those that prefers light makeup. For the lipstick, you can use any neutral shade that matches for lip color.

above is a short video of the makeup.  Maybe I will do a tutorial for this look but in the meantime, these are the list of products I used:

Primer: Smashbox
Foundation:Laura Mercier Creme Founation
Highlighter:Mac paint pot,bare study
Eyeshadow:Gold highlight powder Smashbox and MAC cork
Black eyeliner:Mac Gel Liner
Mascarra:Maybelline
Blush:Mac peach
lipstick:Loreal rosewood (blotted only for a sheer application )

My new Boots and Fave Red Pants!!

Red pants and sequines are so in right now!  This is my first colored pair ever, would you believe that? My pants are either black, Navy blue, whitecamouflage or khakis. 

Top and red skinny pants from Mango, boots from Zara. This particular pants has special coating that resembles leather. I just love the feel of the fabric and the bright shade of red!

The boots a bit expensive I will admit (well for me! ) but I know I can wear this boots with skirts,shorts and dresses as well. hehehehehe. This line reminded me of Monica from friends. There was an episode where she bought a pair of very expensive knee high boots.She ended up loosing the said pair because it hurts her feet so much. Well, these boots are comfy and you just need to wear a thin socks to avoid friction.

The zipper at the black adds a very chic touch to the design. I looove it! Thanks to my hubby! Aside from the kate spade he gave me, these boots are my fave!!

Below are just some pictures of celebrities wearing red pants, that I gathered from the internet. Sorry I cant remember anymore where I got them, I just googled the red pants and these are what I got!

Katie holmes cropped skinny pants in leather..

One of my favorite ensemble!

My Party Hair & Makeup tutorial

Black and Blue - OOTD

This is the outfit I wore at christmas party/get together last night with my hubby. I was told it was sort of an open area near the pool. It was humid that night so I figured I can wear this top I bought from Zara 2 weeks ago ( P995.00 ) and wore it with a black skinny pants ( P2,550.00 ) and blue suede pumps

 ( P2,290 ) all from Zara.

The basic black skinny is very versatile. You can dress it down, like what I did here, Top from Zara ( P990 ) and gold sequinned shoes from stacatto.

 or glam it up with this top.

The top looks simple enough at the front and the lace detail gives it that sexy surprise...:-)
My only problem with this blue is that the lace fabric does not stretcch like the black cotton fabric, so it feels weird at the back--because you get all the huggy feel all over and then the back really feels like you dont have anything on.Hahahaha. Good thing I have a corset/bra so it goes well with this outfit.

The bag is Kate spade Sierra, a gift from my hubby this christmas :-)

Missing my fashion stint days...

I missed those days when I dress up for work or fashion events. For almost 2 decades I have worked in the fashion industry and Im used to attending fashion events, photo shoots, press cons, parties and so on and so forth. But dont get me wrong, I love my life now as well. Focussing on my family and my beautiful son.

So from time to time, I will dress up even if Im just going to the mall, or do my usual mommy errands :-)

Lately, I have ventured into posting my looks in lookbook. Its actually pathetic because I have only 3 fans (hahahaha) but I dont care. Its my way of expressing my love for fashion even if my looks are just casual, I post them because its my way of expressing myself :-) Just like makeup.. So this blog of mine will now have FASHION REVIEWS, PHOTOS OF MY LOOK FOR THE DAY, HAULS BOTH MAKEUP AND CLOTHES/SHOES AND ANYTHING RELATED TO FASHION.

Im excited and I would love it if my readers can share my blog as well ;-)

Hope you guys will love reading my blog and hopefully come back and read some more!

BRide Mikki trial and Wedding

Painting my Makeup Studio

On her wedding day, the photographer arrived at 11:30.We were quite worried because the wedding was at 2:00pm. Good thing, pictures were great. Then the wedding singer friend of the bride was not able to sing during the march. again, keep in mind, these things happen during any event, be it weddings or not. The important thing is that, the event is still memorable and keep your cool.

Liz kept her cool and I told her to focus on the good things so that she wont get tensed.

Liz is a very sweet girl and she booked my services at a fair. She saw my website (www.ochielaraya.com) and went to my booth and booked my services without any trial. Im so glad I was a part of her wedding .
