D.I.Y - unleash the rocker within

Tonight, we are young... so let's set the world in fire, we can burn brighter than the sun!!! FUN. 

Life is fun!

It is, life changing.

To everyone who keeps motivating me, appreciating, and complimenting... all those words MEANT a lot to me. I could say it's something that is life changing, because it is affecting me in many ways right now. All these hopes, and dreams - I will carry them with me, and I will do my best to make that happen.

We never know what is yet to come, but I guarantee you that I won't stop dreaming, and I will fly high to achieve the life I want. This would be a life-long journey, together - with you guys. #DREAMBIG
Thank you for supporting, my friends. ♥

*this is a post from my FaceBook page, but I will blog and post a new LookBook photo tomorrow to tell you guys about the amazing week I've had and for the wonderful support all my friends, and the people I know is giving me.
I am beyond happy and proud for all this. 

Looking back from where I started, from how I evolved into someone I wasn't expecting to be, from all the overwhelming support I've been getting now - it is really, life changing. :')
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.
I am just starting my dream, but it won't happen... I won't be here, without you all. <3

Sincerely, 

Joseff Lopez

Birthday in a month, turning legal. #JUNE28

Keep smiling, keep shining

Hello, hello friends! How's everybody doing? Whew, days fly so fast- could you believe that we're almost at the end of the month of May? But I am happy, and I'm preparing myself because I'm turning a year old in June! HAHA! Going legal now eh? Well kinda means that more responsibility for me, and no more baby moments- but  wait, wait, wait! That doesn't stop there, because this post will be about my little boy-like look for the day! 

Yes, people said that I so look like a kid, which I loved! HAHA! Oh how I miss my childhood days- who wouldn't? :)

All the other kids with the pumped up kids- you'd better run, better run

Hola, hola, hola! Well, I told you guys about putting the pictures from the Mixer I did on my next blog but I will keep that for now, and let you guys crave for it! *HINT: You could see it in a book. ;) (*sigh* most of my followers here, have seen that way back last week, so why do I have to keep it as a secret? #fail)

Moving on, I would just like to show you my OUTFIT for the DAY, and how crazy today was! This wasn't taken by my photographer because she's away so, it was taken through my camera! It's fun how I found that frog over the back yard, but underneath it... *eeeks- WORMS! My friend who took it freaked-out and ran away! Oh, I love those situations. HAHA!

So I am wearing an Oriental-Vintage piece from my favourite Vintage store USED Vancouver, and it is because it is my slack-off day (although I am so busy and rushed for projects - ugh, Marketing -.-) I paired it up with a gray slim-fit jeans from Bongo Divisions, and my black slip-on shoes I got from yesstyle.com! How adorable is that? YAY!

However, one thing that makes it stand out, is the D.I.Y Fur fabric that I turned into a scarf! A tie actually, no a necklace... Whatever! It just complements the outfit, especially the round glasses! I was aiming for a very serious-Air bender look, but I don't know what it turned out! HAHA! Let me know what you guys think!

The Fur (monster) meets the Frog. Bow. :P

This just completed my day. So cute, and funky. Rock on! :D

Don't forget to... HYPE the look!

What Makes You Beautiful

What a fun, fun, fun last week of the month of April it has been! :) My very first Styling gig (April 29, 2012) was unbelievable- everything just fell in to the right place! I love it!

Okay, firstly- I would love to welcome May (YAY for May) for the wonderful first week it has given me at school, and for my family.  :)

Moving on, this Styling I did is actually a part of my school's program (John Casablancas Institute of Applied Arts Vancouver), a workshop for the Fashion students to bring their natural, given talent to Style and build their portfolio- and it is called the Mixer. Here, they will pair you up in a team of 5 from the Make-Up and Hair-Styling departments of JCI. As the Stylists' part, we would have to get our model and our photographer. :) However, there is another program in the school called the B.Y.O.B (Build Your Own Book) which is more professional because you will get to team with the experts (professional photographer, model from the JCI agency, etc.). They say that the Mixer is a stepping stone to provide you the skills, and the efficiency to get you ready for the B.Y.O.B, but we'll talk more about that when I get to do it!

There are 3 themes the Mixer wanted us to follow, and they are: The Classic Red Carpet, The HollyWood Diva, and The Rock Star.

These themes are expressed on the way the Stylist and the team sees it- well, who knows what it really looks eh? It all depends on us!

Now, I'm prepping up- sorting out what clothes to use for my model, and the Styling! 

PS: It was actually hard for me to look for clothes because I had a female model and WHERE in my closet I could get them, right? But I had a clever idea- since I had some fem-ish clothes- I used them! I also went thrifting and I found a vintage-gy-classic dress for the Red Carpet theme. How amazing is that? :)

Having all that said, this post is (half-ly) about what I wore on that day! HAHA! I brought my friend-photographer with me, so while the team is busy for their make-up and hair styling, we sneaked in outside and took photos for my LookBook! :) 

It was a bright Sunny day in Vancouver, and the location of the shoot was in the historical Gastown. 

I was wearing a button-up animal printed shirt I got from USED Vintage in Vancouver (I just don't recognize the other animals though. lol There is a bull, yes), a slim-fit Khaki ZARA jeans, a striped-printed black socks, and an Aldo Charcoal Oxfords for my shoes!

I really the love the colour combination of the Navy Blue and Green on the shirt, and how the Khaki colour pants just made the shirt more distinct; as well the fact that the (green) stripes kind of gave me weight had a good matching over-all. And the almond-pointy oxfords, seemed to give the Hipster look I'm aiming for. (and of course, my chocolate-mucho from Starbucks made they day right!)

So this concludes this post! I am happy (and gay) that everything fitted perfectly and how terrific and stunning that day was. Photos from the Styling will be posted this afternoon on another blog post, don't worry! :)

HYPE the LOOK!

Joseff's LookBook: May the odds be ever in your favour.

and Fashion blooms again.

It's about time to re-create, to innovate.The right fit,The right colours,The right YOU.Fashion is an expression.

Spring Fashion it is! Spring has final come in Vancouver, and the beauty of the city outshines, brighter as ever. I love to see the flowers, the Cherry blossoms, the blue clear sky, the people's smiles, and the warmth embrace of the season makes it all perfect. I wonder if Vancouverites are getting ready for Summer! (well I do :P) Feel the heat!

This week's outfit is related to the Nature and to the movie Hunger Games! I like how my army/camouflage tank top gives off the "tree" feeling and how you connect with it. The colours as well corporate the entire Spring look- not too pastel-ly, but a mix of neutral/bright tones. And look at the gorgeous place we had for this shoot! 

This cute aztec pin-bow tie from Topman.com is I think, the cutest tie that I ever got! I wasn't actually expecting that it's pin-nable (making my own vocabulary, I know), because I ordered it online- but the thing is, there wasn't any regret, in fact everyone loves it! Can pull it off by putting it to any blazers or even a button-up!

This thrift blazer (Jones New York) that I got from Value Village is just stunning. I think it could match any top or outfit with the right colour pattern. I'm just so happy that I get to find the best clothing of all in thrift and Vintage stores. Well, it's my hobby now. I love thrift and Vintage! Being Eco-Friendly here! :)

Levi's Jeans? What else could I say? They've got fantastic jeans, fits to your needs, and hey, it lasts long! I'm glad I found this jeans again, after a year! Whew!

Anyone who would protest that I am not the Socks Prince? lol 

I love these quirky socks, prints, colours, and all that. <3 

(featured blog for my socks collection soon)

Also, that oxfords from Forever 21 lasts really long too. Rain or shine, it didn't stop to give me a fashionable-comfy feeling at all times. 

So yes, this is the whole look for my very first Spring collection. I'm afraid I might not going to be able to post LookBook photos this week, but I'll try to insert it with my schedule! Like I really have to right? :P

Fashion school semester 2 starts today!

HYPE the LOOK!

PS: Forgot to mention about the Hunger Games inspired? Oh well, being a fan boy at the moment. I think it kinda resembles the movie? But whatever, use your imagination please! It's weird that I actually dreamt that I was a part it, and I am number 13? HA!

Love, love! <3

BLOGGERS WARDROBE - the Kingdom awaits.

“The world’s first webshop where all items are completely free, but only for an exclusive group – our bloggers” - Bloggers Wardrobe (http://www.bloggerswardrobe.com/).

This is the opportunity I am waiting for. And I believe it's worth the wait. It's my time.

Bloggers Wardrobe, a fashion-monarchy where all bloggers around the globe gather, has opened its doors again for a new set of potential fashionistas to enter their kingdom. This is a wonderful opportunity, not only for me- but for those who aspires to be a part of the top-blogger community to show what they've got and be on top of their own niche. Bloggers Wardrobe will definitely spice up every single blogger to shop in their own exclusive webshop, and get freebies! - one thing that I like about it! :)

BLOGGERS TRIBE/ONLINE SHOP- Bloggers Wardrobe will surely lead your way to the wonderful brands inclined to it. Brands like GAIA by designer Gaia Brandt, Pilgrim (Danish Designs), and Electrolux (appliances) are my favourites. I could see myself wearing their clothing and using their appliances BUT just by looking through them online kills me. :( Well, I do hope that Blogger's Wardrobe will help me get in touch with these brands. YAY!

Here's a breakdown of my thoughts about the brands and what I love about them. <3

GAIA's collections are handmade and mainly consist of one-off pieces done in a smaller number of styles. I like the contrast of silhouettes and quirky details; also the influence of vintage garments, knits, and the splash of colours. In terms of styling, I believe GAIA is a part of me. The way Gaia expresses her designs through art, illusions, poetic pictures, and all that just inspires me big time. There's so much emotion going on in each of every design, and it feels like they are telling a story.

I am an aficionado not just by this brand, but this designer by love from now on.

Love for jewelries? PILGRIM is the place to be. Established in 1983 by the two Danes Annemette Markvad and Thomas Adamsen, Pilgrim never fails to give a quality, world-class product. Each design seem to fit people within their personality. These shining, shimmering jewelries are hand made, hand painted, and assembled by hand- all contributes to the Pilgrim spirit. Their creativity, uniqueness, and passion for what the Pilgrim team is doing make the best out of everything.

From sterling silver to gold, fashionable designs executed perfectly, and the fact that the profits goes into a good cause - donated to Doctors without Borders - Pilgrim won't let you down.

Sample Jewelries:

In the world of appliances, whom are you going to call? No doubt, it’s ELECTROLUX! In 90 years of leading innovation, designs that are thoughtfully created, and for professional use of appliances - Electrolux is what you need for your home. The products are worth the price, and its high-standard quality- the design, production, development, and the way it connects to me (just by looking and watching infomercials about it) and to the other consumers is amazing.

Electrolux Appliances:

The sleek-chic refrigerators, espresso machines, vacuum, and cleaners – oh, I just love it.

And that concludes my affection for the brands that supports my next home, the Bloggers Wardrobe. <3

Blogger’s Wardrobe is every bloggers dream (well who would not!) and if ever given a chance to be a part of this, it would just be amazing for an early birthday present for my 19^th!

Self proclaimed: The BW's baby - Joseff Lopez. :D

Interaction between the brands, the bloggers, and the people is what I am looking forward with. Very fashion forward, the community for sure I fit in, and I deserve this chance.

This is the opportunity I am waiting for. And I believe it's worth the wait. It's my time.

PS: Thanks for Blogger’s Wardrobe. This post is my comeback for a long while. I’m happy! :) #allnightermode
