jan/feb roundup

Photos from the first two months of 2015

So far this year, I've noticed that I've been spending quite a lot of time by the sea. Above are polaroids of Dani I took from the first day of 2015.

If you follow my Instagram then you know how much I've been fawning over this River Island coat. It makes me think of candy and unicorns and all things nice.

Some shots from a little trip to Lago De Oro.

Outtakes from this month's Carisse Newsletter. Due to popular demand, Carmen added it to the website so you don't have to be part of our mailing list to get a copy anymore :-)

carisse newsletter #1

These are some outtakes from a shoot I did last week for Carisse's *first* monthly newsletter, which I'm also the editor of !! It's no secret that I'm head over heels for just about everything Carmen designs, so naturally it was a dream working with her + the brand that I so firmly believe in. You can see the rest of the photos in the issue, enjoy!

All clothes c/o Carisse, shot by Carmen Araneta + styled by me

In this post I am wearing: the Cecilia dress, Lux sweater, Isabel top and Moana shorts.

cold fever

Those of you following my Instagram know that I've been out for the past couple of weeks exploring Europe. I spent the majority of my time wandering around little towns and Christmas markets with my family, which was a nice change of pace from what I'm used to in Manila. I came back a few hours ago feeling creatively refreshed and ready to turn my ideas for this space into something tangible, so although it's just about 4am now, I'm sat in bed writing this. Also because jet lag is a real pain.

Enjoy this little collection of snapshots from my time there.
