PENSHOPPE LUNCHEON

{top from Bangkok, shorts from Forever 21, wedges from DAS}

Attended the Penshoppe luncheon event last April 5. From a brand I used to shop at coz of their paperbags (hello grade 6 friends who also had a crush on then endorser Cogie Domingo), they've really come a long way!!! They've luxed up while still retaining their casual cool vibe for their Summer 2011 collection. And remember their wedges that I've blogged about here? Well, during the luncheon, I got the opportunity to ask brand manager Alex Mendoza if they'll be releasing it. He said that they've been getting that question a lot, so to answer, yes, it will be released BUT they'll be modifying it by reducing the height coz not everyone can walk in those sky-high babies (challenge accepted, haha!)

Although Tosca has been the location of several of our shoots now, I admit it was my first time to actually eat there. The food was as good as the place looks - all the other bloggers can attest to that ;)

 being the ultimate carnivore, I opted for the grilled sirloin

 the tiramisu was delish!

 Ana was the only vegetarian in the group. she was more than happy with the anti-pasti selection

Thank you Penshoppe and Sir Azrael for the invite! :) It was really nice to be informed about Penshoppe's level-up especially amidst the recent the Philippines isn't fashion forward debacle. *peace*
