Back to my posts about my trip to Europe last month!
After the Pronovias Fashion Show, I attended their exclusive after party just across MNAC at the Palauet Albéniz. The Palace is sooooooooo beautiful! I was told that this is where the King stays whenever he’s in Barcelona. Upon entering the palace grounds, we had to walk through a very long walkway before reaching the palace itself. My feet were already in pain but I didn’t mind because of the beautiful gardens and scenery we passed. I just kept looking left and right, like a lost little tourist. I wish I was able to take photos of it all but my camera was already about to die. Why didn’t I bring an extra battery, you ask? We’ll get to that later.
This isn’t even half of the palace! As I’ve said, my feet were already in pain so I just took a few shots of the palace before going up the stairs to enjoy the glass of champagne waiting for me. Plus, I badly needed to save what’s left of my camera’s battery to take my outfit shots.
These are all that I managed to take before my camera gave up on me entirely. Presenting, my less-than-five-minute-preparation-time look and outfit. Yes, less than 5 minutes! Dare I say, 3 minutes even! It’s such a funny story thinking about it now but at that time, I remember how panicked my mom and I were. You see, my mom and I were still jet-lagged during this day. We arrived the day before so we haven’t gotten much rest yet and our body clocks were still adjusting. After the backstage brunch, the Pronovias team dropped us off our hotel to freshen up. My mom and I grabbed a quick lunch just outside our hotel and decided to take a nap afterwards. I alarmed my phone at 5:30pm, 1 hour before our 6:30pm call time for the fashion show so that I can have enough time to wash my hair, put makeup on and dress up. Guess what happened next? We both didn’t wake up! We slept until 6:29pm!!! Someone was already calling our hotel room to check up on us! Imagine me, in my pajamas, jumping out of bed like a mad woman! My hands were shaking, literally shaking! Thinking about it now, I don’t even know how I managed to pull this off. I even managed to make my eyes smoky! LOL! Even more surprising, I ran in these heels–without falling! Hurrah! Oh adrenaline rush, you are a wonderful thing.
In the midst of the chaos and panic, the only thing I forgot to bring was my extra battery and… falsies. I think that’s good enough. Don’t you think so? So what’s the moral of the story here? Never again will I ever take a nap before an important event, no matter how tired I am. Or, set the alarm of my phone 10 million times.
Imagine if I missed this???!! Oh dear God! I can’t even. (slashes wrists)
So there you have it–the story of my biggest booboo in Spain. Meanwhile, why don’t you hype my look on Lookbook.nu as a way to congratulate me for getting dolled up in impossibly lightning fast speed?

Thank you Pronovias for the wonderful time in Barcelona! I had such a great time ogling at all the beautiful dresses. It was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen.
Thank you for this golden cake as well. It’s such a lovely surprise. My mom and I enjoyed it when we got back to our room. The gold chocolate leaves on the side are my favorite!
Hi Camilleco
You look stunning, love the whole outfits.
May I know does the red ysl clutch easy to maintain. I’m thinking of getting one but couldn’t decide Red or Black mainly because of the mentainance and the durable of the materials, I guess black is more durable than red? I may be wrong but could u pls adviced me whats best?
Many Thanks xx
Hi Apple! Since red is a bold color, it’s just as easy to maintain. Don’t worry about it! :)
Hi CamilleCo,

You deserve a standing ovation and a big clap for putting this look in 3 minutes, Ms Camille! No one would know if you didn’t say it.. i think i would be screaming like mad if i were you.. you didn’t charge your camera when you reach the hotel? and the palace is gorgeous! again * all hail Ms Camille *
No I didn’t :( I was thinking I can just bring my spare batt because I thought I’d have enough time to change bags and prepare my stuff :)
oh i see.. i will freak out if i see my device are running out of battery.. well, we learn from our mistake.. =)

Haha! Thanks Katrin! I got lucky!
Even in a hurry and adrenaline-pumped, you pulled it off! Congratulations! Your outfit shots are fantastic, Miss Camille! I was pleasantly surprised at your chosen patterns; the kaleidoscope top went beautifully with your striped skirt. I salute you for being able to run in your shoes.
The place looks amazing! So much to see! I admit I’m envious of the cake, but I’m glad you and your Mom got to indulge in a sweet golden treat! :-)
Thank you Angelic! :)
Oh I know exactly what you’re talking about! I forgot to bring my extra batteries and falsies as well when I was on vacation and I thought I’d cry all day :'(
On a brighter note, you look gorgeous here! The whole outfit, the shoes..I love it!
Thank you Anhy!
Haha! I can imagine how you jumped out of your bed. Haha! It happens to me as well. my hands are also shaking and I’m already thinking what could happen next. Haha! :)

Thank you Lydia! :)
hi Camille :D nice outfit. You are stunning..
By the way, are you still the stylist of pia guanio??
Thanks Jheanel! Nope only for this one show on GMA News TV :)
If ako yun, baka hindi ganyan ang fesluk (face+look) ko! My gaad. I know the feeling of taranta moves! Baka may water dripping from my hair pa jan. (nagiisip) (Who is taking the picture kaya?) LIGHT BULB. MOTHER! Tama ba? Haha She’s good! :D
Haha! :) Yes mother dear! :)
You deserve an award for that amazing race like experience! @o@ I don’t know what I would’ve done if ever I were placed in that situation. Probably end up doing my hair and makeup in the car while adding the accessories on the way to the event, hahaha! Did your mom accompany you to the Emoda event as well? :D
But the car we rode was a private bus for all the bloggers. I had to look decent na before going down the lobby LOL :) Nope! I went to Emoda alone :)
Let’s give her a round of applause and standing ovation! Amazing Ms. Camille, that was super fast. Instant gorgeous look ang peg (magic)! Love the cake too
Thank you Judy!! *bows*

“Oh adrenaline rush, you are a wonderful thing.” I can feel the relief when you said this line! Btw, I love your less-than-five-minute-preparation-time look and outfit. ♥

Just goes to show that NOTHING is impossible!!! :) Mad props to you Cams… and the top and skirt combo looks like a dress! It’s well styled! I’m glad you’re able to pull it off. :)
I felt so lucky afterwards. Buti na lang my face cooperated LOL! :) Thanks Reena!

Hi Camille, can i ask what your job is? I am curious lang haha. Kasi in one episode ng showbiz talkshow where pia Guanio is a host, she mentioned your name as her stylist, and curious ako kaya pala no wonder she looks great everyday
Thanks Sara! I am a fashion designer primarily then I blog on the side. Sometimes, when I’m requested, I style also :) But only if kaya ng schedule :)
I can imagine your taranta moment girl! haha! Super ka-imbyerna yung ganyang moments!
I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT! You always bring your designer stuff whenever you go abroad! LAVET! More trips abroad please! haha! I’ve been waiting so long to see you wear Chanel garments! Malapit na bang matapos ang aking paghihintay? haha! Have you worn na ba from your past blog posts?
Hindi pa! Parang for now, I’m more willing to spend for shoes and bags than clothes pa. We’ll see! Maybe when I’m less kuripot na LOL :)
Thanks Julie!
I thought the cake was a soap or something that is not close to its real figure. Hahaha. So enticing :D
MISS CIELO

Aww Ms. Cams you still look like you’ve prepared for this night your whole life! :-D Good job with the (rushed) look, you pulled it off perfectly! hihi <3 And those heels look really sleek, but I bet they're kinda scary to walk in. :))
Not scary to walk in, just a little painful haha! :) Thanks Macee!
Love your skirt! It kind of makes you look taller:))
Thank you janelle!
You look so good with that skirt! Unfortunately us petite girls would probably be dwarfed by that kind of length. Do you think we could pull it off? :-)
xoxoandrea.com
Awwww yeah, midi lengths can do that. :( Lengths that are above the knee are better for you :)
LOVE that skirt + Blouse combination – Such a fun, eye-catching look. Picture perfect styling!
Thanks Caity!
