As many of my friends were asking
why my photos are online handing paddle on Regatta outfit and a Rayban shades,
and garnering 300++ like on Instagram, here’s the story.
One day while
I’m browsing over my facebook newsfeed, I saw a post for Saladbox x Regatta
Styling Contest in partnership with several fashion bloggers (male and female).
The contest has 2 phases – Phase 1. Create a mood board using the latest
collection of regatta posted on their facebook account. Post the mood board
publicly and hashtag all the required tags. Winners for the Phase 1 contest are
asked to attend the Phase whereby the online winners will be partnered with
Regatta’s partner blogger/ stylist and they will work together for a certain
styling challenge in-store.
I arrived at
Regatta, SM Megamall with my friend (Enol) at 10:00am as instructed. I’m wearing
my adidas climate shirt black, jeans and adidas climacool shoes. Soooorrrryyy:( I have a meeting with a sports events company that day so I need to look sporty hehehehe....
While waiting
for the program to start, I’m checking on cool stuffs in the store. I always
admire the marketing behind this brand. Very clear branding, very distinct and
every collection really speaks of the brand—laid back, comfortable, always
summer…
Phase 2 started
with a challenge of picking up clothes for the online winner and styling them
but the twist is that whole outfit must not go beyond Php 1,000 peso budget and
styling time limit of 30 minutes. It’s also a must that the whole look embodies the Regatta brand.
We've checked
out several mix and match. Tried several colors and cuts, but my favourite of
course is the sando and the short. Though none of their clothes perfectly match
my super-sporty shoes wahahaha…
15 minutes
before the deadline, the program host announced that they are adding additional
Php1, 000 on the budget making the whole outfit worth PhP 2,000. But even
before the budget increased, we've already decided as to what pair of clothes to present…
After
presenting the outfits, there’s another challenge wherein the stylist blogger
needs to upload photo of the outfit on their Instagram account and check whose
going to get the highest number of likes in 10 minutes.
So while
waiting the result, we took a chance to enjoy this nautical inspired cupcakes…
chocolate moist care with cute lifebuoy soft icing on top.
The winner for In-store styling...
The winning team for highest likes... garnering 50 likes on instagram in 10 minutes... Thanks to all the followers of Michael and to those who liked the photo... thanks also to all the #hashtags wahahaha
Photo opt of all the event participants... I didn't get a chance to talk to them all because I'm shy :) lol...
As a prize, I got PhP 2,000 worth of shopping gift certificate from Regatta which I also consumed that day... and sarap pala gumastos ng di mo iniisip na may mawawala sa budget mo wahahahha
Check out the latest store of Regatta at 3F SM Megamall Bldg. A Mandaluyong City.
