Jariss Wears: PLDT shoot + giveaway items

I was in Rockwell Business Center today for a PLDT myDSL biz shoot. Promise to post more about that deal, it’s got follow-ups so I best be blogging about it some time next week. ;)

Just an update, I still run this blog. Not only is it my birthday month, it’s also my birthday week and I’ve been out most of the week, err, month, running errands. It’s pretty unfair to be jumping form one place to another doing shoots and other stuff but it gives me more reason to enjoy my Salubong which takes place on Saturday.

I was supposed to wear heels but I got really lazy to run in them, making my look more boheme *oh noes*. I’m not perky but I’m jumpy, I like moving around. I’m really happy that my hair is getting longer. I’m confident enough to let a clip hold my little bangs now, but I fear that I look so timid with a clip on. I look so… nice. I am, I really am, but that’s what I’d like to believe. HAHA

Feeling like a bird— carefree and colorful— that’s my peg. I apologize, I always say I’m not a perky girl, not even when it comes to dressing up. I’m always in black and the most I can do to make my look vary is to wear chunky, colorful accessories… sometimes I just wear striking shoes to look fancy. I must say, I’m getting very engrossed with midi to maxi skirts. Oh noes, I’m turning boheme! Blue electric pleated skirt from The Closet Goddess.

Here is where the bird peg manifests: I see the necklace as a peacock, the bangles as some colorful bird, and the ring is a literal bird, a parrot. Necklace, bangles and parrot ring— all from Labels. You can win all of these by joining my birthday blog giveaway. It’s really easy. Please view these links to know how to score all these and more. MECHANICS | ALL POSTS | SPONSORS

Jariss Wears: Metal Gear!

Excuse the droopy eyes, I was half asleep over the holidays.

I haven’t stopped cutting my hair since I first had it chopped. I can’t help but wear frilly dresses and skirts all the time else I’d look very androgynous. Although I like the idea, I’m not sure I could pull it off yet. *laughs* This dress with geometric pattern is from Off the Rack, my own online shop. It’s a simple spaghetti-strapped dress with ruching on the top. I keep things simple on top and go flashy on the bottom.

Now shoes, I love; when I wear this pair, I always feel ready for battle. They’re very light and like my other wedges, I could run in them! I swear if these weren’t too flashy, I’d wear them everyday. Too comfortable, it seems impossible! Thanks again to my shoe fairy! ;)

Jariss Wears: Off the Rack

This just in, OFF THE RACK. Like what you see? Good, because I’m putting up an online shop with clothing I personally picked at VERY reasonable prices.
Most of them are dresses I wish I could keep to myself, but I know I’ll be happier if they go to different owners who will wear them more often.

Details and first batch will be posted SOON. In the meantime, LIKE the Facebook page and follow the tumblog. I’m hoping for your support. Thanks! :)

Jariss Wears: Black and White

I was a bit inspired by my black and white post yesterday so I thought of coming up with my own look. It’s not much. When I saw this blazer, I knew I had to have it so I immediately grabbed it. I tried it on and it was a bit big but I didn’t care! I just put on a white top, wore it as a dress but felt like I looked awkward so I wore it as a top and added an improv skirt. I was never one to go crazy over accessories and this post is a good proof. I like keeping things simple— I usually throw on something black (a dressy top most of the time) over some jeans and wear comfy flats/wedges. This pair is from Asian Vogue.

Same goes for my makeup. Concealer, loose powder, fix brows, mascara, optional eyeliner and blush. See that photo? That’s exactly how I look like everyday. I was a MUA for a time *laughs* and my friends would always notice when I don’t have obvious makeup on, it’s as if they expect me to be totally made up because I did makeup for work. That’s such a crazy misconception! Doctors don’t keep scalpels in their handbags. Or do they? *laughs* So now you know another thing about me: I hate it when people shove what they do in my face. It’s like I get it, you’re a fashion blogger; no need to wear your heels to the gym.

Ooh. I feel a bit feisty tonight. Been having really strong thoughts lately. I leave you with an awkward pose and an ugly smirk. :p

P.S. Oh hey! My hair’s jet black now! Well, it has been for over a month but this is my first photo since I had it dyed. Scroll up to check it out. Didn’t notice the difference? Compare it with THIS.
