White Lady

Another major backlog. A number of you have been asking me to post what I wore to the MEGA Pinoy Pride Ball which took place at Makati Shangri-La Hotel last June 12. I’m so sorry it took me so long! I have so much material to blog about, this post kept getting pushed back. But as I always say, better late than never!

Being that this is the PINOY PRIDE ball, I made sure to come in Pinoy designer wear. Originally, I wasn’t really planning on attending the ball which is why i didn’t make/design my own gown. It’s not that I didn’t want to go to the ball, but I had an early flight the next day and as you all know, I almost MISSED that flight! (Read about that debacle here.) I eventually decided to go at the very last minute because one, I just could not say no to Mega Magazine’s wonderful Meryll Yan; and two, I really wanted to watch the main event of the night featuring one of our country’s most successful designers, Furne One’s designs.

So, who does a girl turn to in this time of need?

Eric Delos Santos, of course! :) I love him to bits! He’s always there to save the day. He sent me so many pieces to choose from, it was so hard to choose! (Such a big problem, I know haha!) I ended up wearing this simple white gown I’ve been eying every time I visit his atelier. It’s made of powerknit and jersey with lace appliques all over.

I really wanted to be simple that night, nothing too fancy but still very much elegant. I tied my hair up in a messy ponytail to highlight the gown’s sexy halter cut and low cut back. Since the gown already has an embellished neckline, I kept my neck necklace-free and wore these lovely pair of dangling earrings instead.

For my bag, I got my mom’s super blinged up tiny clutch to match my gown and earrings. Don’t you just hate clutch bags that are so tiny, only your money, credit cards and lipstick can fit in it? But we still end up using them anyway since they’re the only bags that match our dress and the event.

 

Dear bag designer,

 

Please update your designs because iPhones are kinda big now. We no longer use Nokia 8310s. Please make your formal bags big enough to fit my iPhone, money, credit cards, lipstick and press powder.

 

Looking forward to new and improved formal bags,

Camille

    Haha :) yeah that’s true! The Bag Designer should upgrade their clutch bags ^^ I just don’t like those clutch/bags that are too small but pretty in designs that cannot fit all that I needed.

    You never fail to pull-off such an elegant gown! From your previous MEGA gown to this, I am a fan now of Eric Delos Santos’ creations! Simple, elegant but embellished in the right amount. I also have the same dilemma when it comes to clutches. They’re so small to the point of not being able to decide what to put inside. Haha.

    Regal indeed. I’m such a huge fan of yours. I’m not used to dressing up but when I started reading your blog, I realized that in a way what you wear defines who you are. Keep it up! Btw, may i know some tips on what undergarment should be worn especially when you’re on backless outfit? Thanks! :)

    Love the outfit and styling. I like your simplicity. Despite your status, you come across as very down to earth, you’re not pretentious. I like the way you mix high end brands with the not so high end….

    i totally agree with the bag dilemma… bags may be just bags but they complete the outfit. You’d totally look rubbish with a bag that didn’t match your dress. I’ve tried that once and I never want to do that again. haha!

    I am completely and utterly speechless. I’m quite sure the photos do not do you justice. Another fine truth that sophistication is often accomplished with simplicity.

    I wonder what heels you wore with that gown. :D I wish the back has a lower cut though. Para mas daring! You really have outstanding taste compared to other local bloggers! ;)

    Fantastic white lady! Love that area at The Shang too! :) Still looking so lovely. And I have to agree with you about the bags! Sometimes, I end up with 2 bags – 1 for storage and 1 that I can carry with me all the time in the events (while the other bag stays somewhere hahahah). Event bags should be designed bigger and better next time indeed! :)
