My christmas wish list

Its almost just one month before christmas! so im starting my christmas wish list (lets just hope i save enough money to even buy atleast one)

1. Louis Vuittion Damier Graphite Roadster Bag, i love the new Damier Graphite its much more masculine and much more discreet, its also a new shape for the L.V. Im also the type of person who goes to alot of places one day and try to avoid going home to get stuff, so it would be perfect to place everything in just one bag!

2. Bvlgari STC necklace, saw this the other day in greenbelt and i was surprised that it was actually quite affordable for a Bvlgari necklace. The Stc necklace is done in silver and a part of the proceeds would go to a charity to benefit children! so u can look chic and help the less fortunate as well.

My mood board for prive collection, "Prima"

Im inspired by ballerinas this time, The softness and elegance of movement, the snobbish smirk of her smile, the prima donna, the appreciation for classic style and the iconoclastic grace.

some of my studies for the collection

My muse in my mind: Margot Fonteyn

My inpiration for my color scheme: An image of the Ballet russe and Paintings By Degas, i love how the pink in subdued in the images and as if there is a thin layer of flesh tone covering the images (thus the layering of the pink corded lace inside the tulle)

Silhouette study: different ways of treating the "tutu", the exageratted bias and layers yet still so refined
fabrics: Corded Lace, Tulle, Silk Satin Charmeusse, and tweed

See you all december 2! Prive fashion series presents: John Paras a party to showcase my latest works, Also a tribute to the women who inspire me the most, My Muses and friends..

Rest in peace tita cory

Cory makes me proud to be a filipino. I am deeply touched by seeing the peoples reaction when her coffin passes by the streets, We owe it to her and her family for the sacrifices they undertook for every filipino to enjoy freedom and democracy. I hope that our future leaders would take recent events as an inspiration for better governance, that we filipinos are thirsty for unity and progress. R.I.P President Cory

Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection

Theres something about me and chandeliers. I remember sitting under my lola's chandelier when I was a kid and just staring at how it glitters and how it made me happy. It thrills me when i see a nice light fixture, If theres anything im really particular about in a room it would be light fixtures.

I present to you the Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection. Planning a new house? why dont u dazzle it up with these GORGEOUS! Chandeliers (41,000 USD a piece or more for the one of a kind designer pieces)
