SLEEVE TRICK

Here's another DIY treat I did for Garage. A do-it-yourself sleeve for your tablet! Just a few glue and cuts and your done! Remember, why buy when you can DIY? :) 

TAKE IT TO THE STREETS

Here are some of the pieces I paired up for you to choose from to make up your street look.

GARAGE VIRGIN NO MORE

This fashion editorial (means a lot to me because this is the first one I did for Garage magazine (October 2014). I never really saw myself working for Garage even if my brother and I were avid readers since 2008. Major thanks to my boss, Rey Ilagan for the trust, my photographer meshie, Cholo dela Vega, my genius MUA sister, Ponti Pontiveros, one of my favorite male models, George Irineu and my brother Ronniello Villamonte for the biggest support! 

#TeamPromil

I remember seeing Shaira Luna on Promil commercial when I was a kid, (probably my parents did too that's why they made me take Promil as well LOL) but never even in my dreams I thought I could work with her! This is one of my favorite fashion editorials I've done for Garage, probably because of the place, the story, and the people behind it.

RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE

Here's actually a favorite hobby of mine: Mixing the olds with the news! There are times when I just can't help but splurge on clothes and when that happens, I make sure I introduce the new pieces with the classics in my closet to the world's eye first before wearing all the new ones in a day. Here's to expanding wardrobe miles! 

ALL WRAPPED UP

Can't make up your mind whether to go for sunny or rainy inspired because of the sudden change of weather? Look at how Martin and I dealt with it for inspirations! 

FALL POTENTIAL

This mini-editorial is very memorable to me because this is the first time I did this section (Street Style) for Garage. Working with Gustavo has always been so easy until now. You'll see more of him in our September Issue. Also, I am mostly excited to style this because this is the time when H&M out put up their flag store here in the Philippines that's why you'll recognize that most of the pieces here are from H&M.

WITH STRINGS ATTACHED

One of the easiest DIYs I did ever, and very useful too! Plus this string bag has nowhere to go but back in trend over and over again!

DAY DREAMER

Marks (pun intended LOL) the first year since I have worked with Mark McMahon and I can't wait to finally share our latest work together on Garage Magazine's September 2015 Issue! 

BODY FLARE

This was my first out of town fashion editorial shoot, we were shooting at 11am during March and the heat was exhausting! (not complaining though) I have worked with Bj Pascual for a couple of times but this is my first own fashion shoot with him! Doing this shoot with Bj and Hideo was so smooth, Bj was on point and Hideo was effortless, although it was a bit intimidating because they were so good, I told myself,  I have to be on top of my game as well! Turns out nice naman, yes? Hahaha! 

This was shot by Bj Pascual in Pico de Loro last March 2015. Hideo Muraoka is wearing Coco Republic of SM Department store. 

SUMMER DAZE

Need some summer inspired get-ups? David and I curated these 7 looks to last for a whole week! This could work as a cheat sheet if you have no idea on what to wear for a beach or a summer-chill party! See more of the features on Garage Magazine's April 2015 issue. 

IT'S A SHOE-IN!

I never actually thought this shoe bag is really helpful until I made one! Never get your clothes dirty again while in your luggage plus you’re helping the Earth too! I know you, you like to put your shoes on plastic bags which you won’t use ever again because you think it’s dirty! Try this DIY project! Plus you get to choose the design of your own fabric too! 

SOMBER SUMMER

Probably one of my favorite batches of Personal Style features! These kids have promising careers ahead of them! 

Special thanks to Quinito Villarosa for letting us shoot at Le Cheat, Taft, Manila 

GET SPIFFY

Here's my first DIY tutorial for Garage Magazine. 

October 2013, my fifth month on the magazine and I was so excited for this project since it's my first time working with a team. Back when I was doing DIY projects for a newspaper, it was all me doing the photography, the text, and even having to model the product! It was a high when I saw it on print.

Anyway, open the image on a new tab for a bigger reference! Enjoy your paint service!
