Where have all the Marikina Shoes gone? | Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Posted in Stylish Observations, Shoes!, Fashion News, Philippine Fashion
In a conversation I had a few days ago, a sentiment on the subject of shoes was raised. She had voiced an apparent disdain on the makes of available shoes lately. Yes, some still prefer to own shoes that can last at least a couple years before they throw it away. And yes, a lot […]
On Brands and Labels | Monday, July 21st, 2008
Posted in Stylish Observations
There’s a reason why individuals are drawn to certain things in life. In the area of fashion, you’ll notice how we’ve put importance on what sort of clothes you wear rather on how you wear them. Most have the notion that wearing designer labels or branded items will automatically earn them a ticket to becoming […]
Blair Waldorf Headband Mania | Saturday, July 19th, 2008
Posted in Fashion Accessories, Stylish Observations, Manila Street Fashion
The subject of this current fashion mania revolving around the now infamous bow headband popularised by Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf, has been raised by tv series fans and fashionistas alike. Admittedly, I wasn’t aware that this little hair accessory has taken Manila ladies for a spin since I have never watched a single episode […]

The creations of Anna Leah Salvador were showcased during Day 2 of the 2008 Philippine Fashion Week the New Generation Collection last Tuesday, 27 May 2008.
A very black and white set. Lots of LBD ideas. There were a couple of repeats, though. That’s a no-no in doing a show. I wish they kept the top […]
Revisiting an Old Habit | Saturday, May 24th, 2008
Posted in Stylish Observations, Tiangge Finds, Style Manila
DIY. Sewing. A part of fashion that I’ve always wanted to dip my hand in. It’s actually a strange habit I picked up as I started to buy my own clothes. I tend to buy certain unwearable pieces (in my book) with the intent of altering them to better suit my taste and make them […]
Bonita Styles is a Bad Influence | Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Posted in Fashion-related Events, Stylish Observations, Style Manila
I’d like you guys to meet Bonita Styles. Don’t be deceived. She’s a bad influence.
She may be looking all fashionable dressed up in that cute green number, cool white sunnies and sporting that funky ‘do but she comes bearing 6 tempting offers, good enough to give in.
Go on. I know you so want to know […]
Appeal of Age and Antiques | Friday, May 2nd, 2008
Posted in Vintage Fashion, Shopping Guide, Fashion Accessories, Stylish Observations
These days wherein most women are working towards keeping up with the trends and all things modern when it comes to their personal style, the appeal of age and antiques on apparel and accessories aren’t all that popular. Apart from the fact that we do find it intimidating to collect and relatively confusing to pick […]
Note to Online Shoppers | Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008
Posted in Shopping Guide, Stylish Observations, Style Manila
Online shopping is an answer to Manila’s traffic and highly condensed malls. Holidays or not, it seems like Filipinos are in a continuous shopping fever mode. Fantastic news for shops, goodbye college tuition and next day’s meal for some. LOL. Of course, I had blown it up a bit to add a dash of humour. […]
Neat Freakin’ in Style | Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008
Posted in Bags, Shopping Guide, Fashion Accessories, Stylish Observations, Style Guide
There are people who find comfort in keeping a room untidy than keeping things in order. Claims that it’s easy to find things underneath all the paper piles and knick-knacks. I’d know. I used to be like that 8 or so years ago. Then I found joy in keeping things in their rightful place. […]
Havaianas for Men | Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

I bought these pairs the other day over at all flip-flops in Bonifacio High Street. Naturally, they’re gifts for my younger brother, who celebrated his birthday and for teh boyfriend.
From what I observed, Havaianas have developed a good system for sizes, covering two sizes in a pair. To further illustrate, sizing is in 10-11 […]
