The Cooking Fashionistas: Tres Chic, Bella!

Bonjour Dames and Messieurs, Le Cooking Fashionistas are FINALLY back after our long and overdue hiatus [our apologies]! 

Bid adieu to your ombre shorts and tropical quesadillas (check out the first episode here) cuz it’s time to pack our LV trolleys (Louis Vuitton or Lord Voldemort, whatever rocks your boat) and head to the land not only of the Eiffel, Louver but the macaroons, the afternoon teas, the fries (teehee) and gosh-by-golly-gee!, the Givenchy, Chanel, Dior and Lanvin!

Since we’re all poshed up, we went full Avant Garde with production with a little a WHOLE lot of help from our FMJ Co. bad assess, Franky, Mark and Jan.

So checked out our sexed up ham and cheese sandwiches and our DIY accessory hanger in video below:

[Watch video here]

  Can’t view the video? Mauvaise chose (that means poor soul. wink*wink), I have come prepared. Here’s the step by step:

Materials needed:

– Frame (you can use: old picture frames/ silk screen frames)

– Wires/ Lanyards/ String/ Thread

– Brass cup hooks

– Paint / Varnish for polishing (optional)

– Dimensional Paint/ Glue/ Glue Gun

– Scissors

Procédure


1.       Mark frame on both sides (for the cup hooks)

2.       Screw the brass cup hooks into the frames (where you’ve placed your marks)

3.       Tie the wires between the cup hooks

4.       Decorate frames with dimensional glue. Leave to dry. (Apply 2 layers to get that “pop out” effect)

5.       Once dry, paint over with paint of your choice

6.       Leave to dry.

Tadaaa!

If that made you hungry, trot along to Justinne’s blog and check out how to make her Croique Monsieur (as seen in picture below):

So that’s it for The Cooking Fashionistas! We hope you liked this episode.

I Frogot It Was Summer

Of course I knew it was blazing hot outside, but would it be safe to say that it was cold in my building so it didn’t matter?

Yey!

I Soar Like An Eagle & I've Got Arms Of A Man

"I'm like a bird I only fly awaaaay"

To more beach days, cool fruity drinks and wonderful company- particularly family!

A Little Short on Summer

One last work outfit! Or not...

♫ I'll Be Anything You Ask & More ♫

♫ It's 20 seconds to the last call

Going hey, hey, hey, hey

Lie down, you know it's easy

Like we did it two summer long ♫

Maong, Manong

I’m having a hard time deciphering whether my bag is dead or if something died in it.

What do you think?

When Food & Fashion Meet II: Back Breaking & Cow Girlin'

Howdy y’all! It’s that time of the month again! For our second When Food & Fashion Meet entry, we wanted to take you to one of the oldest yet, an all time favorite place in Cebu- downtown!

I’ve always loved the hustle and bustle of the downtown area which has got to be one of my favorite places to go to for cheap thrills and great adventures. Adventure aside, the scourging heat and the inevitable thrill of the chase always reminds me of my first home. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to return to my favorite land of tianges and ukays with my ever dearest downtown virgin, Justinne!

In the 7 years that I’ve known her, she has always been the “Kikay” one between us two. Example number 1: 

Sorry! I couldn’t help myself :D

So deciding where to bring her was easy as pie. Hmm.. I could use some pie right now.

 

No Time For Tears

Who cares for tears when you can just poke whoever you want with spikey things?

New Feature: The Cooking Fashionistas Vlog Series- Of Quesadillas and Ombre

It's finally out! <insert awesome background music, please>

The Cooking Fashionistas

This collaboration is something that Justinne and I have been conceptualizing for a while now. Basically, what we have in mind is to share with our viewers some tricks we know in terms of food and fashion. 

But honestly, it all just started with me begging her to teach me how to cook. Because apparently, that's what women do... we make sandwiches and watch over the kids. (Not!)

How'd you like my dance? :> :> :>

In case you can’t view the video, here’s a walk through:
