FIDA Grand Launch


Dress- Coccoon* Pumps- Janilyn* Clutch- Props
I like this even if it's blurry. Sorrryyy, I still get shy when being taken solo shots in public. hahahah.
And I am deeply sorry for the dates on my photos.
I forgot to take it out agaaain. :))


Decided to put on something easy to wear and instantly spells "event" since I'd be coming straight from work so I wouldn't have time to look into the mirror and style up. I also wanted to wear something bright and colorful since it was an art school launch I was going to after all. For some reason, midis and maxis make me feel good and comfortable, kind of urges me to be move more gracefully. Haha. Sick. It's my inner gypsy again, I guess.


 So, FIDA.

Jay was nice enough to accompany the late. haha. All 4 Photos herein grabbed from FIDA

Last September 16, the Fashion Institute for Design and Arts opened their doors to Cebu. The FIDA grand launch was held at the rooftop of M2 Bldg, Escario, Cebu City. 

I've always been hoping to enroll at a short course for fashion merchandising and Pattern-making/Sewing  to strengthen my background for BLINDxx. Fashion Design is something I'd want to learn about too but that's too much of a long shot since I'm an architecture apprentice, and that's truly time-and-energy consuming enough. 

I have been getting updates from Designer Fashion Workshops but their workshops are held on Saturdays for a couple of months. Can. not. do. Not with my apprenticeship program. Maybe later when I have stable job and my license! :)) Their program is pretty good too! And SOFA! Anyway, gladly there's FIDA. I'm hoping to enroll later, when everything falls into place with my priorities. :)

Back to the launch, I came with my friend Wendy and my sister Ninz. Straight from the office into the CR, makeup in the car (really dark at the basement) and then off to the launch, and late as you would have guessed. Gladly my girls Ava, Rica, Hanna were there too, and a whole lot of people from CAFA (my alma mater) It just felt like CAFA all over again. I seriously missed my CAFA familyyyy.

After the launch, the girls went straight to East West to grab more bites. Trina, who just came from WYD showed up with Ding. Happy to see her despite how she makes me so jealous of the photos of Europe I've been seeing at her wall! HAHA Ily Trin! :))
