Miss-Match was lucky enough to score passes to Penshoppe’s last show at Philippine Fashion Week (thanks, brand director Alex Mendoza!). We couldn’t wait to see the collection plus catch a glimpse at their brand new endorser, LEIGHTON MEESTER.

We got there early but already, the lights were on and the audience was buzzing! That’s me on the right with Sparkling magazine’s managing editor, Gigi Yia.

Pardon the blurry shot! The show started with a lot of chambray outfits. I love how they paired this button down with bright green leggings (if only I could pull this off in real life, haha).

Loving these swingy dresses and skirts and the candy-colored pastel platforms. 

These are two of my favorite looks from the whole show. I love the color block combinations and the flowy fabric. You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style!

This dramatic number was fun to watch across the runway.

The guys’ M&M/Skittles colored shoes were so cute! They looked perfect against the Mondrian-inspired background wall too.

Introducing Leighton Meester—she is gorgeous!

There’s Leighton with Penshoppe’s Alex Mendoza and hottie Mario Maurer.

Hmm, maybe next fashion week, they can bring in Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester together? (I’m personally a Dan-Blair fan, but who am I to say no to Chuck? LOL). And Zac Efron and Ian Somerhalder too… We’ll definitely be in attendance if that’s ever happening! :P

Hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek at PFW’s Penshoppe IMPACT show!

Whee! Miss-Match is featured in the new February-March 2012 issue of Maven Magazine! (Ok, slight kakahiya moment: that’s me at the top left corner, speaking for the team.) Extra kilig factor: We’re on the same spread as Thai cutie Mario Maurer! (Have you seen Crazy Little Thing Called Love yet?) And lookie, we’ve actually got the girl’s version of Mario’s red Penshoppe jacket in the miss-match Stock Room, check it out!

It’s been months since Penshoppe brought in dreamy Thai celebrity Mario Maurer to the Philippines. I still remember that huge billboard of his on EDSA though—and the ubiquitous varsity jacket he was wearing on it.

So happy that the jacket’s in stock and I can wear a girl version of it, too! I love that’s it light enough to wear here in the Philippines—Jan and Feb are supposed to bring nippier weather in but these days, you can’t really tell. Outerwear in lightweight material is the perfect add-on to any outfit.
