DRESS ME UP in Red and Black

Every Saturday is already a routine for me. Although I don't have to go to work until one in the afternoon, I always get up early to go to the gym with Ate Chona. While she is having her workout with her personal trainer, I usually join in the GX Class such as Body Combat and Body Vive.   I am actually avoiding sweet treats during our lunch after workout and  I opt to eat green salad instead. However, this Saturday is something different ...   I really enjoyed my first ever serving of the famous DQ Black Forest Blizzard which was served upside down during the product launch  of Dairy Queen Black Forest Collection at Sapphire Ballroom, Gateway Suites on November 10, 2012. 

    

Two days before this event, I received an invite from my friend, Stephanie Mayo, to attend the Dress Me Up - A Fashion Bloggers' Event. Bloggers and guests were requested to come in their most fashionable Red and Black attire. I was so excited to go home and sew right away because this would be my first time to go a fashion show wearing my me made outfit. Details on how I made this red blouse using Butterick Pattern B4789 will be posted later.

My First Cosplay

The last movie of the seven Harry Potter series was already shown last July 2011 but I and my friends were still stuck with its mystery and magic. That's why when we heard about the Pinoy Otaku Encore 2011 cosplay event coming, we decided to make our Harry Potter costumes.

Here are our photos during the Pinoy Otaku held at SM Mega Trade Hall , Nov. 26, 2011 taken by Stephanie Mayo.
