Slipped on this little red dress for a hosting gig last week. Titan, the fifth largest wristwatch producer in the world, launched their first store in SM Clark Pampanga last week with a gathering of media and guests at the Activity Center.

I chanced upon an awesome Mango sale the night before and saw a black version of this dress, but how many LBDs does a girl really need? To avoid the unnecessary acquisition but still be able to justify the purchase, I went with the red one.

Upon seeing the tablecloths, wall logos and balloons though, I don’t know if that was such a smart idea. Haha!

Titan is owned by the Tata Group, a multinational conglomerate who also owns Jaguar and Land Rover. The watches are all designed and manufactured in-house in India. In June 2012, they were brought to the Philippines by luxury brand house Newtrends International Corp., selling Titan watches in 70 stores nationwide. The store in SM Clark is the first Titan boutique.

The event was graced by the winners of the 2014 Binibining Pilipinas pageant. As the competition’s official watch sponsor, Titan awarded each beauty queen with a cash prize and a watch.

Also present were Titan’s latest brand ambassadors, DJs Gino Quillamor, Chico and Delamar of Monster Radio RX 93.1’s “The Morning Rush” fame. Not in photo: how the lights and sounds system suddenly conked out on us in the middle of our conversation for about five minutes (which, when you’re the one onstage with the job of holding the show together, seems multiplied by five). Managed to be as cool as a cucumber somehow, with this cool trio who’s been there, done that.

Speaking of which, they’ve got an ongoing promo right now where you drop by a store, try on a Titan watch, and Instagram or tweet your selfie with the hashtag #selfietimewithTitan for a chance to win your favorite watch.

My own favorite among the four Titan watches I currently own is this Raga, which I’ve worn with a skirt, a jumpsuit, a camo dress, and most recently, a corporate interview outfit

Beauty notes: I decided to go quite bare for this occasion. I felt like adding more to the red dress in itself with the high heels and the wavy tresses would be a little too much. Eyebrow pencil, some shadow, liner and mascara for the eyes. Japanese Candy contacts so I can see. BB cream, loose powder and blush for the face. That’s it. Nothing on the lips or the hair. Necklace nicked last minute from my mom’s drawer.

Forever 21 plain black pumps to pare down the look further. That the bondage dress is knee-length makes it versatile enough to transform from a party dress into something that can be worn at the office, given a blazer and different accessories. It envelopes curves so snugly, and with a fiery color like that, a shorter length can make it too sexy.

Hype this on Lookbook here, Chictopia here. Writing this on the fly while I finish some concept papers for my day job—as is probably made evident by the recently sizeable intervals between posts, my occupation has become my preoccupation. Sometimes I miss having a slacker’s free time to really write instead of just, fashion-blog a post, but I love being legit productive so no complaints there. Not to say that there’s nothing major coming up for this little blog of mine… Stay tuned.
