PS. i left mosh reyes’ prize at ate alma’s SEC B xerox last friday

keeping my fingers crossed for a blue win this afternoon!! XXX

one of her friends was also actually in a black backless top (and it was rather nice too) but i wasn’t stealthy enough to get a good shot of that.

on a tragic note : MY CAMERA IS BUSTED. this explains the slow down in post frequency. i’ll need to hire a photographer/photographerS to help me shoot people. in. school. or use my camera phone. we’ll see.

I think all you Ateneans know by now that the school’s dormitories, Cervini and Eliazo, which comprise of male and female freshmen students from around the country, undergo a second ORSEM aside from the one in school. The whole resdience hall community known as ARSA, which also includes the upperclassmen from the University Dorm right behind Cervini and Eliazo, is involved in the process of strengthening the bonds of its youngest batch through many rigorous activities which will force them to depend on each other and the upperclassmen to successfully finish the ORSEM.

Pictured Above: Bonding

But really, Ateneo Fashion Watch is here because last Saturday, there was a really big party to celebrate the end of the strenuous tasks of the dorm ORSEM and to kick-off the second month of the school year with a party so hot, it kinda stopped raining for the rest of July’s days. LUAU, the dorm’s Hawaiian themed party shows that whether you’re from Cebu, Davao, Bacolod or even freaking Siquijor, if your an ATENEAN, YOU KNOW HOW TO PARTY!!!

It was just way too AWESOME for the camera

After gearing up our cameras, and dressing up as Hawaiian locales, we head for the University Dorm Rotunda where the party is held. Here by the entrance, we are greeted by our tour guide.

"Welcome. This party does not support the Hannah Montana movie, so it is certified AWESOME."

He led us to where the party was at, and I thought I almost experienced an epileptic seizure from the colorful and flashy scene. There were flowers printed on almost everyone’s clothes and torches blazing around the dance floor.

Alright, the torches aren't really blazing but her dress is

Like any other party, there’s the juice bar (no alcohol, just lots and lots of sugar)

the DJ

the dancefloor with the glucose infused youth

and those who wish they didn’t have early morning Sunday mass the follwing day

"Ssshhh... Im praying right now... "

And like any other Ateneo Fashion Watch article, we present to you the most interesting and eye-catching outfits of the night.

The Hawaiian ensemble in their flowery dresses and Filipino genes

The rainbow dress is pretty and the flower crown is adorable

When the pimp's in the crib ma Drop it like it's hot...

I'm glad people took time and prepared for this night. The dresses are lovely

I love how they look sleek yet chill at the same time. Cheers to BROMANCE

Girl on the left can't wait to swim. Girl on the right has a cute flower laden dress ready for dancing on the sand

A plain but lustrous buttoned top; down to a sweet malong finish

Glamorous apparels! The flower lace for the win!

Whew, I’m tired from all the sugar powered drinks and dancing. The colors of yellow, blue, red and pink are all I see right now. It was a fun party and I do hope you had a great time as well. Until next time…. Oh wait, Song for Mary.

"Through the joy and tears, through the laughing years..."

Alright, see you in a few days! I’ll guess I’ll count flowers instead of sheep and then fall asleep…

meanwhile, some shots to liven up the entry!

have you been seeing people with ala ninoy aquino black frames too?

colorful and matching!

two fazshown people

awww i love this girl! c: (i don't know her but this picture makes me happy!)

before the shots though, i just have to say that the feedback we get for the blog is… unexpected, to say the least. of course we expected haters (there will always be those people to dampen everyone’s fun), but to the extent that they would criticize AFW for being a “bringer of class wars” and such (just search ateneo fashion watch on google and you’ll see what i mean)…! it’s pretty amusing, i guess. check out the comments and you’ll see a burn somewhere there; it’s quite funny, really. to those who can actually be mature about the whole thing and take it without getting high strung, to those who can actually see the point of the blog itself, we’d like to thank you for reading; rest assured, we will keep up the updates.

and now, let’s get to the point:

hey, darling! c: looking good as usual with that belt of yours

shoooooeees!! (jeans, bag!) i don't know if they're dollhouse but i have to say the outfits are pretty funky. (which reminds me, we had better cover the crowning for queen mother next week or something)

summer day! you make me so happy to see you with your bright colors, peaches and cream (skin i mean :p)

hey, blue girl! (yes you, with the layered necklace and brown studded sandals)!

it's been cold lately, hasn't it? kudos to you for daring a scarf around school (i know of just a few others who would)

green sweater! who're you wating for?

not as strappy as the others, are you?

blue dress + brown belt + pale brown vest + black gladiators. i don't know if this is too much.

big polo with long brown leggings. it was oookay.

going japanese

hmmmmmm i think i’ll upload the rest next time. so i guess you’d better come back to check them out shouldn’t you?

with love,

AFW

i’m treading new ground here; bear with it :p here’s a post anyway… time to give the floor to the atenean guys !

stripes and checks??

i zoomed in on the shoes but i still can't tell...

burberry! plaid collar

cool necklace!! XD

sucky spycam skills

not your ordinary atenean guy

topsiders

color contrast!

oh, mr. greenbelt (onitsuka tiger)

puma high cuts

Have you ever been tempted to buy fakes? They’re cheaper, right? And they cost less, so why not? Actually, the costs are hidden, but substantial. You know how people always complain that there’s a recession ? Well, counterfeiting cuts across industries and actually harm the economy. So support the real deal, whether its bags, clothes, watches and OPM music (love your own, right?). Foreign artists and big shot movie makers can afford to take a hit. Kidding. That’s bad.

Serious stuff aside, I just love commercials and I think that some of them are more entertaining than actual TV shows. Here are some ads from a few fancy (ridiculously expensive but horribly enticing) brands which will make you feel that owning the genuine article will enhance your life immeasurably. The value of the real thing is hard to define but that’s what commercials are for, right?

CHANEL

LOUIS VUITTON. Where will life take you?

TAG HEUER. What are you made of?

PATEK PHILIPPE. Who will you be in the next 24 hours?

Last night AIESEC had an event in Ascend and some of the fashion watchers were there to take a sneak peak at what the Ateneans wear when they’re out partying.

The line outside was super long and it took us some time to get in. While we were outside we spotted some interesting things.

Finally, inside!

And inside we saw the latest in must have’s, some good ideas  and a variety of outfits ranging from high style to fun and casual cool.

A pamaypay is surprisingly handy in clubs.

By the end of the night we were all so tired and thirsty from checking out what everyone was wearing and of course, from dancing.

Forgive us, the quality of the pictures are pretty bad but it’s hard to steal shots of people when everyone’s dancing around and when your little camera’s blinding flash blows your cover.

It’s been raining everyday now, but it hasn’t stopped Atenean females from wearing printed, girly, dresses. Sometimes even I find myself stretching last summer’s trend. The weather’s tricky, I reason, and mornings are just too damn hot. Or the dresses are just too damn cute

this was in the LS bookstore. it was raining cats and dogs outside, as you can see from her soggy appearance. is this a zara or what?

ms. bautista in CTC

hey hey hey (som mall) // paired with a cardigan in cooler weather

here's a monochromatic one with sleeves and a ribbon

rec week... water thermos/jug so adorable :> so grade school chic (but doesn't that get heavy?)

and last but not least…

little miss AMA president!! (looking oh so adorable in that dress of hers :">)
