When Aileen asked me a styling question via Plurk a while back, it had lingered till I can’t stand it anymore that I knew I had to write this post. She had asked for styling tips for teachers.
We all may remember our teachers for their wit and charm but never by their fashion sense unless it was totally off. For ones that fail to stick, well, it goes to show just how much effect they had. But, hey, I’d like to remember my profs fondly (ones that I do remember, …

From the Splendicity community, comes this week best in beauty, fashion and shopping.

Confused? Let me get right on it then. Who would’ve thought that a pearl necklace would cost more than a Macbook Air priced at $1,799 (converted: Php 82,754)? Yea, it’s true. This gorgeous, gorgeous set of South Sea Pearls I had seen costs Php 85,000!
In a recent trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan, I saw this beauty displayed — alas! — in a nondescript shop that sells pearl jewelry. I had initially thought that the most they would sell their stuff were just above a thousand, seeing that the shop’s …

Do you remember puberty? That awkward stage of deciding to leave behind childish inclinations and embrace womanhood at its early phase? Well, during my trip to Palawan last weekend, I had the chance to get a glimpse of this 11-year old girl’s initial steps into the kikay world of teenage girls.
Sylvie was much too shy but has this smile that you will only see on a young girl. I knew she wanted to learn how to fix herself up esp since she was so fascinated with “grown …

This accessory rack is actually a bit old. Twas a gift from my sister for my mum. But I was there when she bought it. I remember we found it in Glorietta, Makati City. I forget the name of the shop, though. I have to visit the mall again and re-trace my steps. It costs around Php 500.00. They had a lot of options you can choose from.

Last Friday, 05 September 2008, School of Fashion and the Arts launched Retail Lab which brings together merchandise from Alumni and students, offering them to our growing local fashion market. This is a great opportunity to nurture new designers, local Philippine fashion and, of course, the fashion business.
Retail Lab is just one of the new changes we’ve witnessed as SoFA celebrates their first year anniversary. Another thing worth noting, apart from better facilities, is the school’s partnership with Instituto Marangoni in Milan, Italy, reportedly, the co-founders’ Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Loralee …
