Long Live Evil: Sab and Sam’s Thrilling Descendants Party

L

YOU NEVER FORGET YOUR FIRST Whenever it’s July or August, I am always reminded of that special day in my life where I styled my first ever event: Xavi’s Cat in the Hat Birthday Party. It was magical (at least to me) because that was the party that got the ball rolling into what is now known as Party Magic. I am forever grateful to Tin Dychiao (of Manila Fashion Observer fame) for the trust! So what’s new with Party Magic? Lots, apparently. One party we did that I am currently...

Toni Gonzaga’s Little Captain Is On His Way

TONI’S BABY SHOWER When ABS-CBN called up to ask if I would style Toni Gonzaga’s baby shower, there was only one possible answer to that question: hell yeah!

Later on, as I grew up and started my shoe company as well as my event styling boutique (Party Magic), this “core” personality of mine naturally came out through the design of my events and shoes. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons why I was drawn to children’s parties in the first place, and not weddings! Being happy never goes out of style. ...

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH? If I’ve been remiss on blogging lately, I have the perfect excuse: I’ve been away travelling! More specifically, I’ve been travelling to one of my most favorite places in the world, New Zealand: A breathtaking view of Queenstown, New Zealand (taken by yours truly) New Zealand is rather misrepresented as that peculiar place where there are more sheep than man. I think it is one of the more underrated and underrepresented places for tourism and...
