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 …

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, …

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.

It screams “Menswear” but I just had to laugh when I came across this shirt cuz it’s so applicable to me in so many ways. LMAO.
Interestingly enough, I would never have expected that I’ll be extending a fabulous hat tip to The Technographist for this tshirt find and a nifty shopping advice to boot.
Pictured is our favorite design, a clever play on RSS feeds (you can subscribe to Technograph’s RSS feed here by the way). These t-shirts are great gifts for geeks, bloggers, web developers, and those involved in …

When I stumbled upon this site, I can’t help but remember the requests made by guys who stopped by Style Manila. They were asking where they can find options for t-shirts and such that are unique to our country, Philippine-made.
I’ve already featured some and I hope to find more. To add onto the list is S^CRED Clothesline.
Like the two items seen on the image above, they design tees and hoodies that are inspired by the unofficial national sport, Basketball. On the left is the Jaworksi Tee, on print it says …

I was truly impressed with her talent! Having been in the craft of jewelry-making for over five years — self-taught no less — gives her enough time to test, stretch and perfect her skill, nay, talent! I’m really surprised that she’s only 23 years old!
Pia Faustino invests her time and effort to fulfilling a client’s wish. And as far as I’ve seen, from the product photos, the jewelry are exquisitely done with form, design and materials in mind. Pia works mostly with wires, incorporating different global influences that her wandering …

Tiramisu & Co., Forever 21 Necklace, Sophia Lavander
This is not news for most since it’s been brewing for quite sometime now. I reckon the onset of the craze can be traced back to a couple of months ago, with the fruit and owl pendants made popular by Hollywood celebrities. However, I’m appreciating the fact that pendants are now fast becoming more intricate in detail. Tassles, stones, crystals and assorted trinkets adorn 17″ to 40″ chains. These options make it more flexible in terms of incorporating it into an outfit. Some …

Who ever said that fashion can’t make political statements? Classic example is a twist given by My Fruit on the slogan ‘Make Love Not War’ then printed it on a t shirt. Why wouldn’t this idea sell here in our country? It’s brilliant, IMHO. We are a t-shirt country after all. I like how they even styled the shirt in some of the photos. They’re re-introducing the punk 80s look with their styling ideas.

How do you get the look?
Choose a shirt a couple of sizes bigger than yours.
Wear it …
