Pampanga Fashion Blogger: Jhavoo Morgia

FINALLY! THIS IS IT!

The Pampanga Fashion Bloggers team was very successful on the fun shoot we organized for us to meet our aim which is to promote, encourage and inspire the youth to get into fashion blogging and to help in promoting and advertising Kapampangan fashion brands and business.

At first I was really very nervous about this big thing since I don't know anyone at all, I just see the faces of my fellow Kapampangan stylistas on their personal blogs, facebook, twitter and instagram and I haven't meet anyone for real. I thought it was hard to reach out with them since I am really known for being too quiet but then when I got there I was amazed by the kindness of everyone that talking to them wasn't hard for my part. It feels good to be surrounded by people who knows your craft and your passion, when we were talking about our styles, favorite bloggers and all it was like we have known each other for quite some time now.

I am so blessed to be part of PFB even if I am just an amateur in writing and expressing myself through fashion.

We are doing this all for the LOVE FOR FASHION... and ofcourse for writing since writing has always been my first love.

Spiked Top: Muradito

Mullet Skirt: SM Department Store

This look is my personal style, very JHAVOO! A burst of classic, elegant, girly, a little edgy and of course the doses of pink ; different personalities all in one outfit. I am known to be someone so meticulous when it comes to colors, I want everything to be in its perfect match and combination. I decided not to play with too much color blocking instead just the typical Jhavoo coding way. It took me weeks to decide what to wear for this project, there were too much ideas getting along the way plus I have this bad habit of being indecisive habitually. Though I have too many unused clothes in my closet, I still chose to buy new outfits considering this is my first exposure in a new kind of world and I really want to be hands on in all the preparations. See, that's how dedicated I am to this job, I let the creative juices flow, save money, ransack the shopping malls and even street markets no matter how crowded they are and find the dress of its best and finest kind just to make my imagined look come to reality.

Looking at the brands of my look, I bet you have noticed something unusual about me that time... that I did not go branded! Well, there are really times wherein branded items aren't really fashionable and I felt that was this time. To tell you honestly I have this big love of going to bazaars and thrift stores just to get items that are very nice and would bring out the little miss fashionista within me. I am the only one in the family who can manage to go to Divisoria and Quiapo alone and spend the whole day there without getting my feet hurt from all the walking and my eyes tired from looking at items. I am the only one in the family who would go out 9pm at Hong Kong just to check out the night markets and shop. And I have always been in demand to my friends in times they want to hoard clothes, dresses, shoes, bags and all that girl stuffs.

Blogging is not all about showing off all the material possessions you have, the tags don't matter at all. A lot of people thinks that you should shop everyday just to come up with something blog worthy, but I tell you this world is not about spending too much there are a lot of ways to express yourself rather than wasting your cash.

I bought the whole outfit exactly two days before the shoot, I have been imagining my look for about 30 days already since the first time Khai made the proposal but the busy calling keeps on getting the way. Believe me, this look was brought about by panic buying!

It was my first time to wear a mullet skirt. I know it has been an overrated trend this year but I never figured out why I wasn't able to wear it while it was still "in" I tell you most often I have this attitude of getting into a trend when only a few or maybe nobody's wearing it anymore. Or maybe there's no special event on the previous months that gave me the need to wear it and the perfect timing just went by a little too late. As I was in this skirt, I felt the comfort it gave me just because the fabric is very smooth and silky. The flowy draping also gave way to an elegant side of the look.

Earrings: Divi

This is a shirt that can kill anyone who dares to mess up with me.

I just cant help but fall in love with the spike details of this top, it is really a killer find! I know you're drooling to have one too!

And oh, how do you like my pink lips by Coco Chanel?

Gold Necklace: Divi

Lipstick/gloss: Chanel

Seeing the photos, I can say that what I am really what I wear. See how organized I am in matching my accessories with every details of the outfit, or is this being such an OC in fashion?

Bangles: Divi

Love ring: Quiapo Thrifts

Pink ring: Jhajing

I am already starting to be knowledgeable enough about accessorizing but still very minimal (or do you even consider this minimal? well at least the charms are not over acting). And oh, these are all thrift finds, I swear I would never buy branded accessories unless sponsored/gifted.

LOVE ring, to let you know that BLOGGING IS LOVE!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE BRANDED IN ORDER TO BE FASHIONABLE, YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!

I am girly way too much, I see everything in pink!

Shoes: Primadonna

Photos By: Bernardine Garcia

To my surprise, I was working with my fellow Scholastican! I was really shocked when I saw ate Ber at the location that day, I just cant believe that in the middle of the unknown faces that time there is still a chance to see someone you personally know (well even if Ber and I aren't really close at all, we just say hi to each other way back our highschool years at St. Scho) and get the chance to work with that person! Thanks for the lovely photos Ber!

Visit her tumblr, I tell you she has magnificent portfolios of faces, events, places and anything and everything!

The next set of photos were captured by: Dos Garcia

With Dos, we were able to work with the drama of photography! I love all the dramatic shots!

I must say that Dos doesn't depend on the automatic click on the manipulation of a dslr, instead he uses manual Olympus camera, i guess you have to be a master of photography before you can create good photos of a camera like that, with that Dos is indeed a real photographer.

Check out his tumblr too:

The Pampanga Fashion Bloggers Fun shoot was a VERY FUN experience! I am happy to meet new people and new friends whom I am going to give a special place in my life and in my heart. I just couldn't imagine how I was able to survive this day when it was my first time to be seeing these people and work with them on a very special project considering that I am a shy girl but then as the hours passed by I ended up enjoying the whole activity and began talking and laughing with the circle and having awkward moments with the photographers just because I have awkward poses.

Its is good to meet people who has the same interest as yours because you can learn a lot of new things from them and at the same time you can share the things you know so that they can learn from you too.

Now I am going back to the time when this blog was still a private one that I don't want my Kapampangan/Manila friends to know about it because I am shy to let them know that I am blogging but a voice convinced me to get out of the shell and sneak out from my comfort zone, my little secret is not a secret anymore since I started tweeting to the public my new posts and of course now that I am an official part of the Pampanga Fashion Bloggers family!

Pink-y promise

What I love about holidays is that I can be able to go out with friends, dress up the Jhavoo way and post something blog worthy.

I decided to go monochromatic pink today and the unusual thing about it is that I was able to get out of my comfort zone and took a rest from the bright colors and gave in to the call of pastels. As I was wearing this outfit the whole day, I felt like all my worries were gone and there was also this very light feeling I have within me while having a light day, therefore I can conclude that what I wear can really make a big impact on my mood and aura for any day.

I am a lucky girl today because I am able to get a chance to wear pieces from the Philippines, France, Spain and UK. Just keep going...

Top: Trendphile

Pants: CFK Denim for Girls (French brand)

Flats: Unisa (Spanish brand)

The top from Trendphile caught my heart the moment I saw it online and I hurriedly bought it without thinking twice because I knew from that time that the light burst of colors it has would make me look young, fresh and free. I must say that Trendphile really has lot of items that would meet my standards when it comes to fabric, design and color. I would surely buy more from them and I really recommend them to you guys if you want something that would really bring out the youth in you.

It was my first time wearing the pink pants (yes they are pink, and the photos did not made it look so pink because it was really a very light palette) At first I was really hesitant in wearing it because I know that colored jeans are long gone with the wind but then fashion has no rules at all who cares whether you are wearing a trend or something old school right? It was Vern Enciso who made me realize that colored jeans aren't out of style and if a top blogger is wearing it now, then I should also walk down the road with one.

And then the moment I wore it BOOM I felt so girly the whole day. Imagine strolling around the city, being in 2 shopping malls the whole day in an outfit with just one color. You need confidence to be in a Maxx candy peg!

The Unisa flats are really very comfortable, there was never a moment that my feet got hurt ever since I wore it. It is a Spanish brand, its not that I have this big love and support for International brands, I know the Philippines also have our very own and the local shoes we have also offers high quality comfort to our soles.

The look for today was a mix and match of pastels and golds. Good thing the gold pieces and shoes did not overpower the light vibes I have. This is indeed one of my favorite looks.

Green Ring: Jhajing Manila

Gold Ring and Bracelet: Mj's gift from London

Aqua ring: Divi

I love my friend MJ for giving me accessories from London, by MADE by the people for the people it was handmade by the Kenyan people, it is a fashion brand that creates jewelry and leather goods also committed to the task of supporting and promoting trade in Africa. I really like to know the culture of other countries and by having these accessories I felt like I had a touch of UK and Africa in my life for the day.

Last friday, I hoarded (yes hoarded for real) accessories at Divi, oh how i missed my shopping home and I swore I was really able to buy a lot, a lot and a lot of bangles, necklaces and rings. You know that I am not a fan of excessorizing but the blog world has changed that lifestyle as I am learning little by little.

Studded Bracelet like watch: Divi

I so love this bracelet, my friends were even confused about it because at first sight they taught it was a watch and began telling me that the accessory itself played a fool around them.

I so love the details on it, very elegant and classy!

Today is a National Holiday in the Philippines and my Manila friends invaded my hometown and we bonded the whole day as if we are not seeing each other everyday. They brought out the little kid inside me, we had fun activities like shopping, doing a video which I hope would be successful, playing badminton and water gunning each other, eating, held a boodle fight feast dinner, and getting wild while playing a favorite sport, beer pong.

Everyone knows that life at the moment is toxic for me since I am on a major college year but then I always keep in mind that the hardships of learning and gaining knowledge is just something temporary, when all of these ends, the best life is promised and rest assured. That is the thought that keeps me going every single day of my life, that all I have to do is enjoy the hardships because it wouldn't be hard all the way, this is just the stopover phase of my journey and someday, sooner or later I would find the place that promises happiness, love, success and contentment. Like what kids say, pinky promise!

Wishes

 

Top: NafNaf

Printed Skirt: Bubbles 

Heels: Zara

Ring: JhajingManila 

Bracelet: Random find on my dresser

Lipgloss: Chanel

 

If there's one thing that makes me want to go back home every weekend is the chance of dressing up, at the moment when I feel like I am all by myself now and there's no special someone waiting for me to get back, I feel like my clothes are the only ones excited for my return and of course my readers (if I have any) would always want something new from me (feeler, over confident in self supporting). It is time to catch up with you guys, you know that school is really my top priority now especially that I am only 2years away from making my Medtech dream come true. I hope my style for today would make you like my blog spot even if I am not a regular writer and getting back to being that regular reader I once was before I made a decision to create my own.

It is never my style to go all out or overdressing, I am scared on experimenting on something that would make me look like an abstract painting that is why I am really scared on wearing print on prints outfit but who knows I can mutate sooner or later. If there's something dominant on my closet, it will always be the prints and the basics and its like a rainbow collection for this kind, my sister and I loves something very simple most of the times that is why on my look for this post, I  decided to match basics with prints. And the basics really bring out the so Jhavoo persona, simple and colorful!

I am totally a fan of prints and I felt like there is a need for me to buy this skirt from Bubbles as soon as they posted the collection. Bubbles offers a lot of items that are always "in", from tribals, aztecs, neon, prints, ombres, fringe, mullets and a variety of accessories that are so fashionable and most of all affordable. I also saw Lissa Kahayon wearing the same skirt as this and the whole look was inspired by her being one of my favorite bloggers.

I am really planning to incorporate the skirt with something orange but when I saw this Zara heels on the shoe rack I was like I need to be greenish today then good thing I saw my Nafnaf basic top just around the corner of my closet. When I saw it, there was still a tag on it and I did not even bother to ask if this is my sister's property or my mom's I just felt like using it even if its a little bit big for my cute feet. And even its a bit larger I was able to walk around comfortably with it.

Living in a modern world in a modern time, I am really a lover of chunky high heels and stilettos that would make me 5 inches taller but there is something that I realized as I wore this pair, that BABY HEELS ARE NOT BORING in fact they could really look so elegant and very classical and that is where Zara is good at, in creating something that would bring out the little Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel in the personality of a modern girl

 

How do you like my look today and my style talks?

A dose of thoughts:

Looking at those pictures above, I felt like I am already far away from the little girl I used to be from the yesteryear. Its time for reality check: AUGUST is my birthday month and it means that I will get one year older once again, but this time a part of me doesn't want to let go from being 18 because going 19 means that this is going to be the last teen years of my life, one year left to make my teenage dream come true. But there's a soul in me that doesn't care at all, because even if I am not a cool teenager anymore I still feel young deep within. After all, its not the number that matters but the feeling of being forever young.

Being 19 means I have to enjoy every single day of my life before I turn 20. In fact I have so many goals for this year.

1. I would like to pass my third year with passing marks on all major subjects, I have shared to you that life as a student is really complicated now because of the survival of the fittest situation but I promise to do my very best to make it! My focus at the moment are my academic subjects and even if passing would make me look like a zombie, I don't care because I know that everything's going to be worth it.

2. I wish that my family would remain strong and united in whatever may come along, our years was like a roller coaster ride with so many ups and downs, loops and hoops but the knots that bind us and out strong faith in Him made us all surpass the challenges and live the good life.

3. That I can travel and go places. Ever since I was young, I have always been a traveler and someday I want to go global and travel all around the world.

4. Being 19 means more responsibilities, therefore I want to be more mature and open minded in doing my tasks even if I tend to be childish sometimes. My target is to be the best daughter, sister, friend and student.

5. That I will be surrounded with happy people. I am not asking for a lot of friends, I don't even care if I only have a few, I just need friends who would be true to me and stick with my all the time just like my Cs, Loveteams, few highschool friends (counsel) and my dearest college barkada.

6. Lovelife? If its meant to be it will be (it will come back) but if not (please make it come back, nahh kidding) there would always be somebody out there whose meant to be. Hi soulmate!

7. Material things: Clothes, Clothes, Clothes Phone and Camera

8. Good health

9. BOOM! Career on my blog

10. Happiness

A dream catcher would make these dreams come true!
