Chillage: Opening Party

You just know when so much thought and passion have been poured on an endeavor. You know by the details, by the cohesion of ideas, by the vision and ultimately, the outcome. That is my first impression when I first walked into The Chillage - it was a place fueled by passion and a whole lot of inspiration.

It was one hot afternoon when I first went to Chillage to meet up with the owner, Bea. We met about the collaboration of her urban store and my humble swimwear line City of Vintage. When I had a glimpse of the place before going up to Bea's office I said to myself that I had to seal the deal as I was pretty impressed with what she's put together. And so, I was beyond thrilled when she decided that she wants to carry my line in her store. Every little detail in the space is quite dandy. From the door, to the playroom down to the bathrooms (I love their bathrooms!) and even their glasses are well thought of.

Here are some pictures from the opening party.

MR. & MRS. SUMMER

SIARGAO IN FILM

This is the mother of all backlogs, I tell you.

This was our first trip to Siargao three years ago. The place which swept us off our feet in a matter of seconds. I just felt like I need to share this for a handful of reasons.

1. We already fulfilled our promise that we will go back here. We did and now we want to go back again and for a much longer vacation.

2. I was pregnant the first time we went here and the little one is turning two in a few months time.

3. It would be selfish not to share, the place is a parcel of my heaven.

4. It's summer!!!

These photos were taken by the husband. Shot in film which still amazes me until now. Shot with Canon AE-1 Program 50mm 1:1.8 FD lens attached with a wide angle fish eye converter. Film: Kodak Ultra Max 400

ALCOY

This was our impromptu trip to Alcoy a few months back. It was just one of those mornings when I was feeling down and I couldn't pinpoint as to why. For an instant remedy -- pulled the first swimsuit I saw in my closet, a change of clothes, towel, a good book, camera, sunglasses, my husband and off to the beach we went. 

See, this is why I love you so much, Cebu. Look how beautiful your public beaches are.
