Get to know Ms. Charmaine

I've always had a burning passion for fashion. It took me quite some time before I pursued what I love most but nonetheless, it was worth it. Despite the 8 long years of hiatus in designing, I came back to fulfill my dream and even worked on a new skill: Fashion Styling.

Right after college graduation, I started designing again given that I had a lot of time to spare but it was more than just a past-time, it was a decision- a decision to put to life a dream that has long been forgotten. Just like every person who -at one point- gave up on their dream, I needed a little push to fire me up.

I gave Fashion Styling a shot. Honestly, I never had any background or experience in professional styling before this. The only styling experience I had was helping my friends and my brother when shopping for new clothes and putting together an outfit.

Me after curtain call

 (Note: Photos were originally taken by my brother Carl)

It sure gave me the push I needed to get me going. I realized this is one thing that I could totally focus on, so focused that even if 10 hot guys line up in front of me I wouldn't even care. *That was me trying to be funny*

Anyway, as this blog gets more functional in the coming days, you will get to know me better as a fashion enthusiast. I will be posting some of my works (both as a designer and a stylist) and I hope I get a handful (or more) readers to get me even more pumped up as I share what I know about fashion and also learn more from other enthusiasts I get to interact with.
