For an upcoming series, I’m looking into getting in touch with local Indie fashion designers.
Are you one of them?
If you design and make clothes, bags, accessories or anything relating to fashion and style, then, yes, you’re one of them. Stating the obvious, Indie is short for independent. It means you’re mostly operating “under the radar” and only have viral marketing to your advantage. You may or may not have established a brand but still manage to put up shop virtually or physically so the rest of us can enjoy your …

Wellies — aka as floodboots, rainboots, gumboots — had burst into the fashion scene leaving fashionistas torn between loving them or hating them. But no matter what, Wellies are here to stay. Well, at least, for now.
I reckon the reception these adorable shoes can be likened to UGG boots. If a pair of UGGs can be considered practical during the cold season, Wellies are perfect for the wet ones. I had admired the ones I saw European fashionistas wore in Glastonbury. The idea of stomping around in the mud without …

Yesterday was the start of The Great 3-Day Sale in ALL SM Stores — nationwide, I believe. And last night, together with a few people, I did hit the nearest one to see if shopping will be as great as they claimed it would be. I guess, as much as I hate to say it, this is one sale event that’s worth the trip.
I’ve always steered clear of sale events just because of the crowd, often poor selections, and the traffic. Since it’s the first day and we were there …

It can be a little cliche-ish but what the heck, eh? Plaids are one of the trends that’s making a comeback (at least for the Western Fall season). It’s a bit preppy but it’s pretty nonetheless.
I’ve never bought an item from Maldita, though, I do find their selection sleek and, sometimes, bordering on the cosmopolitan work wear sort but there are notable items that’s easy to style into a more casual urban outfit. For the relatively younger fashionistas (note: ones still in school!), if minis are acceptable then by all …

We believe that makeup is created not to drastically alter someone’s looks. They are created to bring out and define one’s features, bring out our best, and help us look good. We feel good when we look good. Makeup is created for self confidence and we believe that every woman needs self confidence to be able to smile and show the world what she can do!
