"I had the craziest dream last night. I was dancing the white swan."

I've been looking forward to sharing this latest fashion shoot! These fantastic photos were taken by photographer Romain Rivierre. His lovely wife, artist Tanya Escaler doubled as model and Creative Director for the shoot.  Mica Tuano did the Black Swan-inspired make-up and doubled as a model (of course) My lovely sister, Gail Miller posed as Mila Kunis and feathered head candy, styling and modeling by Bonne as well :)

We had to do a lot of ballet moves, twirling and bending to get some of the shots right.  And Romain, I have to say, these are fabulous!

Thank you team fashown! These turned out lovely and well within our "Black Swan" vision:)

Hoppy Birthday Tala

My niece's (Tala) birthday fell on Easter Sunday. We had planned a beach trip so my sister and I decided to throw Tala an easter egg hunt party.  Of course my niece had to be a bunny.  I prepared 5 bunny ears, supposedly for the girls in the family.  Luckily 2 other families were staying at the same resort, so we invited their kids to the party as Tala's guest bunnies.  There were four kids and I made 4 bunny ears--it was perfect! :)

Makeover Sesh

Tonight, my friend Kitty gave my vintage mannequin a much-needed makeover.  I've had some people tell me that my mannequin looked scary, with the faded makeup and ashen gray skin tone.

So Kitty first used  acrylic paint and a sponge to lighten the base. 

BONNE ON YSTYLE

It has been a busy month! I am so happy to share with you an article about my work published recently on Philippine Star (clicky).  Thanks to Maureen Disini and Bea Ledesma for the lovely feature and for sending me fab photos :)
