Pricilla Verus' Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour Collection

I'm Back!

Hope everyone's doing fine at the moment.

Anyway, here's another wedding makeover that I did recently for a friend's sister.

 

Her name's Priscilla Verus who hails from Penampang 

and here is her before photo and after photos.

For her Solemnization Ceremony, I broke away from the norm

and gave her smokey bronze and gold eyeshadow to define her eyes

and balance out the uneveness of her eyelids.

Her lips and cheeks were kept minimal to not overwhelm her entire look.

 

Here's a picture of Pricilla complete with sideswept updo.

 In the afternoon,

I retouched her makeup to complement her red gown at her Reception in KDCA.

I changed her lipcolor to red, enhanced her cheeks with a little bronze

and rearranged her hair into romantic sidecurls.

The next day,
I did another makeover for Pricilla during her 'moving out' ceremony
 which is a custom of the Kadazan people for the new bride to move in to her new home.
So for her third look, I did blue eyeshadow with
a touch of pink for her blush & lipstick look to match her second outfit.
Eyebrows were lightned to match her haircolor which was loosely curled.

Her first outfit was a modernized Kazadan & Lotud

inspired evening gown from my Mon Amour Collection 

which I made for the Unduk Ngadau DBKK Gala Night in 2011.

 Congratulations Pricilla & Husband!

Hope you like this post.
Till next time,

XOXO



Oscar De La Renta Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection Favourites

As a young fan of fashion, De La Renta was never alongside

my list of favourites like McQueen, Dior and Balmain

until his Spring 2013 RTW collection caught on my radar.

 

 

This comes as no surprise when “Sultan of Suave,”

“Couture Conquistador,” and “Guru of Glamour”

are but three of the complimentary (and catchy) things the

award-winning and debonair designer Oscar de la Renta has been called

in the course of his long and starry career.

Here are my Top Favourites out of his 60 piece collection.

Loving the flaired top.

The kebaya Nyona-esque lace is too beautiful!

A little too much lace for my liking.
Reminds me of Valentino's last collection.

Something about lace that's so sexy and innocent at the same time.

This applique technique is so familiar, seen it before somewhere.

 

Love the applique top!

Again, LOVE the top. Pants are too A line for my liking.

 

Just so sweet. The tweed skirt is so Chanel!

Don't you love bright colors on a dark model? STRIKING!

Gotta love em' feathers!

 

The dress is so Chanel and shoes is very Louis Vuitton S/S 2012!

 

I love this dainty piece. 50s inspired but in a modern way.

Love how the flowers gradually drop from her bodice.

It's a little too bridal for me. I would be happy with 2 tiers.

Something about this dress tells me : Drama!

 

Love the pop of color from her shoe.

Rocker Chic! Loving those LV inspired shoes!

Fantastic monochrome combination.

Simply Spanish. Ole!

RED CARPET MATERIAL! *swoon*

 

True to his roots, this famed son of the Dominican Republic

threw some Caribbean seasoning into the mix,

with an upbeat palette of watermelon pink,

sunshine yellow, and parrot green.

These solids were mixed with vibrant Madras cotton plaids,

slashed to ribbons to create multitiered pencil skirts.

Simply breathtaking.

I'm officially a fan Mr.De La Renta!

 

Till next time,

XOXO
