Summer Shoot

 Hi guys! It's been a while! Sorry if I haven't been posting lately. I got so busy with school due to the final requirements I had to submit. But since it's summer, I am back! 

So in this post, I thought I'd share to you all some of our shots from one of our photo shoots we had. Since we are Mass Communication students, we encounter a lot of multimedia stuff like this. We had this "summer photoshoot" 2 months ago and we used some of the photos for our Desktop Publishing poster which served as our semi-finals. It's one of our majors. I enjoy it very much, actually.

Our peg was summer, so I hope you enjoy our summer-inspired looks by me and my friends! <3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that's it! I hope this post helped you have a little inspiration of what to wear this summer! :)

My next post will be another photo shoot we had for school, that one was used for our magazine. Also in our Desktop Publishing class. Stay tuned! I missed you all. <3

xx, Iyah

Insecurities are eating up my self-esteem.

I have always been interested in fashion bloggers ever since I was in High School. It was my dream to have a closet full of clothes and have multiple pictures of me wearing it. Unfortunately, I don't have the body do that. Haha. Lol! 

Hence the title, I have always been insecure of my features and fear of being judged by my appearance. That's why my blog is all about beauty and not fashion. Nonetheless, I just wanted to share to you guys some of the shots I had that my uncle took of me.

This was taken on August 4, 2012. This is what I wore on my mother's seminar in Annabel's, Tomas Morato.

Awkward head tilt over there...

Yes, I am not wearing any shoes! Haha. Our shoes are not allowed inside the house. I didn't crop it though, just keeping it real! Haha.

Blazer from my mom's closet. Hehe.

Dress from Forever 21 | Necklace from Passion For Fashion

Here I am trying to helplessly cover up my big fat arms. It didn't work though. Haha. I really need to diet...

So I guess that's it. I hope you enjoyed my second outfit post in this blog. I'm thinking of doing more of these since I have always loved Fashion. I just hope my insecurities won't take over me!

By the way, this is me being you know... NORMAL.

What do you think of my outfit? Let me know in the comments below. :)

Do you think I should do more of these kind of posts? :-/

Thanks for reading! :)

Fashion Stylist & Make Up Artist for a day

So it's July 3, 2012 today. Classes were suspended late because we are College students. I don't know really know why people think we're waterproof. Lol. Anyway, so my friends and I decided to chill at my place instead, since we got dismissed at 3pm.

We played around my room and dolled ourselves up. Me and my friends became make up artists, fashion stylists, photographer and model for a day! I had a blast "working" with them. Haha!

So first, Lency put some make up on my friends. She's really good. Her inspiration from the looks she did is a Fairy Princess!

This is my fellow "make up artist for a day", Lency Arabelle. She did the eye make up of our friends and it's so gorg! While the noseline and eyeliner is by yours truly.

          

Not only that, me and my friends also dolled up their outfits as well! Some of them used my clothes because this was an unexpected "photoshoot" so they didn't had the chance to bring their own. :)

The first person we dolled up was Lency. Since she has a petite figure, I find body-con dresses suit her body type. I matched the dress with black pumps. The shortness of the dress and the height of the pumps made her long and flawless legs look longer! We also glammed up the look with a statement necklace and earrings.

Isn't she so pretty?

The next one is our friend, Lexy. He did his outfit by himself and this is what he came up with:

He matched his black long sleeves with a pair of white ripped jeans. It gives off a nice contrast. He also glammed it up and finished the look with these hot suede boot-like wedges!

He kept his look plain and simple and he only used minimal accesories, but look how classy this outfit came together! It really shows some attitude, plus the way he strikes his poses was just, wow. :)

The third one is Juss, I planned her outfit together. I combined a sheer turquoise top with a white accent matched with color-blocking body-con skirt. I mixed the two pieces together by sinching a thick white belt in her waist to make her curves more emphasized. She completed the look by putting on her boots.

The whole look really looked great and matched her skin tone. It is indeed a very colorful outfit and yet she still pulled it off. I love to dress this girl up because she has the perfect body figure, no wonder why she's a model! My friend, Juss is a freelance model and she really knows how to strike a pose in front of the camera! :)

The fourth one was Karina. She was my very first friend in College!

She was the one who chose the outfit she wore. I didn't really like the combination of an olive green jumpsuit and red wedges at first, it actually looked like she's celebrating Christmas, but nonetheless, she still looked gorgeous! Plus, I think it made a good colorblocking combination! :)

She is so pretty! She reminds me of Cherry Pie Picache, don't you think?

The last but not the least was Camille! Camille is such a sweet and feminine girl, and the outfit she wore is still sweet as she is.

She chose a white zippered dress, we also decided to sinch in a studded belt to emphasize her figure!
We kept it plain and simple and finished the look off with black pumps.

The outfit suits her because it's simple yet pretty, just like her. :)

So that's the end of my post! Sorry if this was way too long than the usual. I really had fun dressing up these wonderful people. I enjoyed styling them and taking pictures of them. I posted this because I really enjoyed what we did earlier.

Sorry for the low quality of the photos shown, I am only using my iPhone 4s. I will invest in a new camera soon for this blog! :)

Thank God for meeting these crazy people! I am so much enjoying my college life. :)

'til my next entry, thanks for reading! :)

Stepping out of my comfort zone.

Hi everyone! So I was using my uncle's laptop and found some of my pictures during our "photoshoot" at home. My uncle is a freelance photographer so we decided to play around at home!

These are the shots of my uncle more than a month ago using his DSLR, Nikon D90. I found the raw copies on his laptop and decided to edit it a bit.

I totally forgot about our play "photoshoot" until I found the pictures!

This is my first time doing this, so please, NO HATE <3

Leatherish jacket but not is from Betty, SM Department Store. Dress is from Chill, also from SM Department Store

Earrings are from Greenhills, long statement necklace from Genevieve Gozum

To be honest, this is way out of my comfort zone. I don't have the confidence to post pictures like these, mainly because of haters. I don't have the prettiest face, and especially the skinny body we see in blogs of many famous fashion bloggers. I AM FAT. Hahahaha. 

I am not a fashion blogger, but I dream to be one. Maybe if I have the courage and confidence, I could, but it may take a while. Lol. Obviously, as you can see from my blog title, I am an insecure mess. I am insecure of all the pretty and skinny girls, so posting this would take so much guts. Haha!

Connector cross ring from Elaisa's Accesories

And yes, I can't smile and I  pose awkwardly. Sorry for that. Lol.

The reason why I put a watermark/link in my photos is that because this is the ONLY place where I will be sharing this photo. So don't think I feel like someone's gonna steal my photo, that's not what I meant! :)

I had multiple shots but these pictures are the only ones I find nice and presentable... I think? My blog sucks because I only post pictures using my iPhone 4s so it's not the highest quality. This is my first time sharing a high quality photo. I hope when I have the time and money, I will invest in a good camera to take high quality photos!
