TOP GUN

polo from marks & spencer, high waist shorts, peeptoe wedge booties from parisian, beanie from billabong, aviator shades from ray ban

Today I learned that those who wear red/maroon berets in the military are those who were airborne. I found that out coz I thought my peg (for the flak-looking polo and the beanie) was the soviet army but when I googled it, tadaaa, you learn something new everyday. ;) Wore this to a morning shoot for the Philippine Star and then for errands in the afternoon. It's actually funny coz before the whole Liz Uy-Noynoy Aquino thing came out, I had such a hard time explaining what I do when I'm asked by strangers. But earlier today, as I was filling out the bank forms, the lady exclaimed: "ay parang ka si Liz!" hahaha I just found it funny and at the same time convenient. I would really love to meet her one day. :)

Anyway, the shoot was so much fun! I think it helped that we've already worked with each other before and we're comfortable enough to joke around and tease each other to death. Francis also dropped by after, yay :) One of the things I love about working in the industry is that you're always surrounded by people who are highly skilled at their craft. And the best part is, they're usually nice enough to share their knowledge to a neophyte like me. Like for example, today, I got advice on what curling iron and lipstick to get. And not just that, since they've been doing it for quite some time, their anecdotes are equally fascinating as well. :) Here are the people I worked with today:

the photographer: Mau Aguasin

the make-up artist: Pia Reyes for Lancome

the hair stylist: Emar Cabiltes for L'Oreal

the boss: Jerni Camposano of the Philippine Star

There. I'm super excited for the article to come out coz the model will be wearing my personal favorite dress that I would love to own and wear one day. :) I can't wait to show you guys the pictures once the article has been released!!

This entry wouldn't be complete without a quote from Top Gun. After all, the look today was very airborne official and wouldn't we all just want to be the top gun?

Viper: In case some of you are wondering who the best is, they are up here on this plaque... Do you think your name will be on that plaque?

Maverick: Yes, sir.
