Bag RAID 04: PATRICIA TUMULAK

Hello guys!

It's been quiet a while since my last bag post, I have been kinda busy with work.

Anyway, our bag raid victim for today is Ms. Earth Philippines-Fire 2009 and Bb. Pilipinas 2011 Finalist. She is also a fashion model and make-up artist----Ms. Patricia Tumulak.

We met at Dusit Thani Hotel for an event, and she came in dressed in super chic dress, with her Longchamp Le Pliage (large) Tote in beige.

Inside her bag...

Macbook Pro

Blackberry Bold 9700

iPod Touch w/ earphones

Make-Up Kit (with interesting mix of high-end and local brands; MAC, Shue Uemura, Cryolan, Ever Bilena)

Body Butter from Body Shop

Perry Ellis Cologne

Sunnies from H&M

Wallet (polka-dot purse she got from bangketa, but looks cute)

Feminine Spray

She told me this is her everyday bag, being a girl on the go, she needs to carry her laptop, gadgets and beauty essentials all the time.

Ready at all times, she is.

Patricia is a very lovely woman. She is also super nice and very nice to have a conversation with.

Looking forward to work with her again!

Till our next bag-raid!

BAG RAID 03: MARKKI STROEM

Hi Guys!

Today, I have MARKKI STROEM's man bag for us to raid.

As we all know, Markki rose to fame through ABS-CBN's telent show Pilipinas Got Talent, where he showed his singing and musical prowess, and eventually placed as one of the grand finalists.

He is one of my showbiz friends, and he is one of my most valued clients. 

I am his personal designer and stylist. Sometimes make-up artist, hair stylist, P.A. and Road Manager. hehehe. kidding. :p

Markki, is one of the few guys I know who really know what 'class' is. Aside from his innate passion for his music, and determination to always better himself, I really admire his effortless sense of style---makes my work so much easier as his stylist. He is one of the few clients I have who really has inputs on the look. And I love that, because it makes me understand more what will really make him happy.

Anyway, let's take a peek inside his bag!

*******

I super love his brown Zara leather bag. Very roomy, and has the slick dapper look on, very understated luxe, it doesn't scream too much but you can tell upon first glance that the bag is of high-end quality. 

Inside his bag: (I kinda edited stuff out from his bag:clothes, shoes, ties.)

Orange leather wallet/receipt/card keeper. 

Car and house keys.

Intense by Issey Miyake (perfume)

La Nuit Del l'Homme by YSL

Osis+ by Swarzhkopf Professionel Hair Matte Powder

Old Spice 'Swagger'

Traditional Medicinals Organic Throat Coat

Make-up kit (which contains MAC powder, MAC concealer, lip balm, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)

*****

Here's our picture from last Friday, where I styled him for You Got It 2: PGT Reunion Concert at the Ynares Sports Complex.

 (Markki working that pout for me. LOL)

Till our next bag raid adventures, guys! :)

BAG RAID 02: Top Model JESSICA YANG

Heya Guys!

To kick and spice things up, let me give you our official first bag raid project.

Our target: The most awesome top model in the country today, the ever sweet, gorgeous and effortlessly beautiful (inside and out), JESSICA YANG!

(photo courtesy of Jessica Yang via Facebook)

Just a quick info about Jes, she is 100% Taiwanese (contrary to what others usually think that she is Filipino-Chinese). She studied Advertising and Public Relations at Southville Foreign University, and started modeling through the help of her then professor and friend Yako Reyes.

And everything, as they say, was history. She is now tagged as Philippine fashion's "IT" girl. Now working as a full time model, gracing all top fashion magazines in the country and being the new face for Plains & Prints and Jag, she is set to conquer Hong Kong and other Asian countries very soon.

*****

So, Jess and I met last Wednesday night at 7th High in Bonifacio High Street for the FADAL x Miadore x Seven Barretto exhibit. (Jes invited me to the event! :p) We had a super fun night partying, with John James Uy. And before going home, I took the liberty of raiding her party bag.

You may notice that the pictures were taken on a car seat, it was actually shot inside John James' car, on our ride going home. haha!

Her uber chic leather mini purse from Zara. I love the metal twist lock detail and the size is just perfect for a night out.

Inside her bag.

Seriously, I am surprised to find very few items in her bag. She actually only have four items in her bag, sans the mints and shades of John James (which you see in the picture).

Canon s95 Camera. (i have always wanted to have this camera. Super compact and it takes amazing photos, even without ample lighting!)

HTC Wildfire Android Phone. I love the color, very fierce!

Shue Uemura Lip Gloss.

Notebook. this is where she keeps/writes her schedule. I was able to peek on her calendar and I can say that she is one busy top model. FULLY BOOKED!!! :p

Trident Mints and Ray Ban Sunnies.

Jessica, contrary to her seemingly glamorous and glitzy lifestyle is a very simple sweet girl. Low maintenance and very down-to-earth.

There is no denying how much I truly love this girl. She is super amazing, and I am deeply privileged and humbled to be given the chance to call her friend.

Here's our pic from the event!

Also, please don't forget to buy the current issue of Sense & Style Magazine, she appears in the cover together with other Pinay top models.

Till our next bag raid! Ciao!

BAG RAID 01: MY BAG

Hey guys!

This is my first post, and there's no better other bag to raid I can think of than my own! (pardon a little dash of self-centered-ness.)

Honestly, this is what my daily bag looks like. (I sometimes use bigger bag for office with all papers and stuff i need to bring, but this is my 'real' everyday going out bag. I slightly edited it taking out coins and taxi receipts and bus tickets in the pocket. LOL

So here, feel free to raid my bag! :)

This is my Mulberry East-West Bayswater Bag whick I truly deeply love. One of my very much used bags, truly very sturdy and heavy duty. No worries for everyday use.

CONTENTS OF MY BAG:

Four (4) Cellphones: Two Nokia, iPhone 4 and Blackberry. (Yes, I have four phones, all for different purposes. :p)

iPhone charger and earphones

My favorite leather ans skulls mini-case i bought from Singapore. (I use it as phone case, and sometimes wallet and card case.)

Samsung Digital Camera

Olay Total Effects Anti-Blemish Moisturizer

Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with a Touch of Max factor Foundation (I totally swear by this product, very smooth on the skin you can barely feel it on. It also has very nice coverage for those pimple scars and blemishes. teehee.. :p)

Celeteque Moisturizer. (Okay, so I have three moisturizer. This celeteque moisturizer, supposedly for the face, I use for my hands. Makes me hands silky smooth when shaking hands with people, especially with clients.)

Elf Tone Corrector. (For that extra coverage on the face. :p)

Carmex Lip Balm.

Ray Ban Leopard Print Eyewear

Tortoise Shell Sunnies

Body Fantasies Vanilla Body Spray.

Bench Purifying Green Tea Facial Clenser.

Finese Oil Blotting Paper.

So there. Nothing much to see.

Nevertheless, yes I confess, I am a bit on the techie side (hello, four cellphones! BBM, Facetime, Apps, Twitter, FB, Foursquare, etc. LOL). And I am also quite self-conscious especially when grooming my face. As much as possible, I don't want blemishes show. Hahahaha!

Till the next bag raid! :)
