SPiN's First Advocacy Fashion Show 2016

South Pinanays (SPiN) celebrated their 3rd anniversary this year by showcasing their very own SPiN Moms, Dads and their cute little ones on the runway. This is the first ever advocacy fashion show that SPiN came up with and probably the first in the country. Outfits were mainly from a fashionable nursing wear brand, Mommyfide, which was founded and owned by mom-preneur and SPiN admin, Katrina Ambion.

The Fashion Show was the program's highlight of the event last October 8, 2016 at the Activity Center in Alabang Town Center. Participants and even shoppers all around were captivated by the show.

The runway was opened by Camille Manalo who was wearing a Mommyfide Gray Basic T-Shirt dress while rocking a ninja-like glove for her sprained wrist but that did not stop her from strutting on the runway. She was tandem-wearing her toddlers in size 6 Risaroo Dogwood Emerald woven wrap and a shorty Kokoro woven wrap.

My top carrier picks that day were:

Madame Goo Goo Mesh in Nautical Grey pattern

Madame Goo Goo in Little Triangles with a Butterfly pattern on the waist belt and Kokoro Candy Striped Ring Slings

Baby SaBye Mei Tai in Pink and Grey natural, organic dyes

Witnessing this Fashion Show live, it was just surreal and electrifying. It sure feels like being surrounded by the super stars of brands and Mom-preneurs. Theres a sense of pride being in the sea of moms and dads.

Great Image Family Photoshoot

The Christmas Holiday is fast approaching and it is a perfect time for families to get their photos taken. There are many options to choose from and we got ours from Great Image Studios. We went to Beloved Studios in Megamall which is also a sub-company of Great Images. We were accommodated by their manager, A and Joan, the photographer. They made us feel at ease and were very patient with giving us instructions and they especially loved working with Baby G. I can definitely say they are experienced with handling little kids with their energetic process of capturing memorable shots. Their photoshoot session starts as low as 350php. Great deal, right? The photos below are our high resolution digital files and we got ours sooner than we expected. :) The D'Towns are looking forward to our printed shots - will post them as soon as we get them!

A Chat with a Top Model: Chesca Lagua

Benefit and Mommievents recently paired up and created a workshop called The Ultimate Guide to Being a Benefit Babe at the dainty Benefit store in Alabang Town Center. Franchesca Lagua is one of the event ambassadors alongside DJ Sexy Megan from Yes FM. Chesca graced us with her top model presence and with an extra helping of sky high legs and ultra lean figure from Shanna Retuya (ramp/commercial/Philippine Fashion week model). Although the pair towered all of us, they were the most down-to-earth darlings. They were up for selfies and quick chats with participants. I took the opportunity to take a selfie with Chesca which would seemingly look like Lady Galadriel and a hobbit would photograph together. She hunched halfway as I tiptoed, tilted and angled my phone so both of us can fit into the frame. Before I transform this feature into some LOTR geekery, here's the score on Chesca's make-up go-to and the real deal on Asia's Next Top Model:
