met costume gala

to be at the met gala is any fashion girl's dream come true. surprisingly, my favorites were not my typical inspirational fashion icons, except SJP is always one of my faves. nice surprise from these young ladies.

funny story about the mcqueen dress above... i actually had a replica made of this dress in 2006 for my debut, which is the filipino equivalent of a sweet sixteen. mcqueen had my heart even before his fall 2005 collection.

sjp!

sjp! i've been obsessed with her and mr. big since my middle school days. (even though my mom never approved of me watching that at such a young age... shh!) well, she is elle's cover girl for the december 2009 issue! i was so happy when i received it in the mail a few days ago!

she's so beautiful!

i've been obsessed with finding the perfect flat, black, lace-up, studded boots for weeks. the stylist from elle nailed it.
