It may take me some time to reply, though, as usually there's a lot of other things I juggle and I need to be doubly sure about my availability and resources before I commit.

It’s all about getting dolled up at duHubshop right now, and we don’t just mean your usual prettifying routine. For the month of July, they’re featuring very soft, feminine, playful and whimsical outfits. Below are my top picks, worn mostly by model of the month, Lou Muñoz.
Note that most of the items are available in other colors and prints, so be sure to check them out! Shipping within the Philippines is free.
Capital Vice light blue lace top (P499), Soulier pleated chiffon mini skirt (P780)
This was one of the first dresses that caught my eye when we were styling for the layout! It’s available in pink, as well, and the cinched waist is quite, quite flattering.
Capital Vice dress with shoulder detail and cinched waist (P899)
Capital Vice lace, chiffon and sparkly dress (P899), Misbehaved Crimes of Passion studded booties (P1895)
Satin baby doll dress
Capital Vice flowered dress with ribbon shoulders (P690)
Capital Vice satin romper (P890)
Capital Vice deconstructed dress (P550)
Soulier short-sleeved baby doll chiffon dress with pleated waist (P600)
There are more to check out at duHubshop, other pieces you won’t see here. So go ahead and see if something strikes your fancy!

i love! and decently priced, too. MUST. RESIST.
Go for it! I’d get the dresses–value for the buck, since you’re buying a whole outfit already instead of separates
Alex, san tong studio na to? Hehe! Ganda!
See you on the 7th! Pax and I will be going babe
