PFW Holiday 2012: PENSHOPPE Impact

Long legs. Thin stature. The runway.

Yesterday was another first for me despite the past years of repeatedly not pushing through of going to past PFW events. First times are memorable, they say, and it was.

Few hours before Penshoppe IMPACT where Leighton Meester was expected to show up, I finally convinced myself that I had no hope of going to the fashion show. The last thing I could think of was there's going to be someone who's gonna give up his/her invite for some reason. Then just as checked my Tweetdeck app on my laptop, Anna of so-stellar retweeted something that nearly made me scream. Imagine me looking all groggy from an afternoon nap before I read that someone's having doubts of going to Penshoppe IMPACT. I immediately responded back with the fastest typing speed that I have, though. (Sorry for flooding your mentions page, Anne!)

Anyway, to make the long story short and to keep all these less boring, thank you so much to Anne Mortega of iamzildjianne.blogspot.com/ for the invite! :) Also, Lord, pwedeng i-hug kita ngayon? Lol. 

Without further ado, my first Philippine Fashion Week experience at the SMX Convention Center! 

Just as I entered the hall, I was literally trembling. Excitement, anxiety... basta, good stress! Kaloka. Hahaha. I was late for the good seats and it didn't start at the time that I expected. Nevertheless,

Here are photos from the fashion show:

The final walk. 

The most anticipated lady of the night, Leighton Meester, as the newest PenshoppeAllStars endorser... 

...and a surprise appearance of Mario Maurer!

Again, thank you, Anna Esguerra and Anne Mortega!! :)
Of course, also to PENSHOPPE and Runway Productions for having a job well done.

PS: I miss the ULTRA-zoom capability of my Nikon P100 but I'm more than happy with having the camera that I have now! :)
