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 […]

Yesterday was filled with girl-y flurry (and mishaps) that I simply have got to be thankful to Sophie for being such a great girl to hang out with and Angel who came to the rescue of a damsel in a dress distress. If it weren’t for these two lovely ladies, I […]

Something Old, Something New | Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Oh, no. I’m not talking about getting married. I just found it a witty title that’s so applicable to this outfit I put together for a night of hanging out with some girlfriends. I’d like to think it’s a vintage item due to its age but I reckon it’s far to young to be one. […]
Make Fashion Not War, Vintage Fashion on Shirts | Friday, October 12th, 2007
Posted in Vintage Fashion, Shopping Guide, Style Guide, Philippine Fashion
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 […]
Necklaces, Long & Vintage | Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007
Posted in Vintage Fashion, Fashion Accessories, Fashion Forecast, Stylish Observations, Style Guide
From that moment when a woman discovers fashion, the tale of their affair with accessories will be long and old, er, in this case, vintage. Some prefer the expensive frosting but some like them fun and versatile. Of course, not all women can spend their hard earned cash on jewelry even when they wanted to.

I’m big on studs lately. I like ‘em big, too. I admit that the candy earrings are a current personal favourite but these adorable Matte Gold Studs are closing in. Gold accessories are such glamourous things, me thinks. Don’t you agree?
There’s something so vintage about wearing gold and not to mention big studs. They remind […]

Here’s another trend that’s been under your noses, the Wide Leg Pants. Didn’t see it coming, eh?
The Skinny has been around for around two years now and, yea, its re-introduction to the fashion masses is a breath of fresh air. It may not be welcomed by all but, hey, we really can’t help it if […]

I reckon it’s quite obvious now that tis the season of accessories. Some may find the current fad a fashion nuisance but I say it’s just good, clean styling fun.
On the roster of fashion accessories is the Cocktail Ring. Why are these adorable rings called ‘Cocktail’? Well, it’s simply because the ring […]
Thrifted Vs Vintage, Thoughts? | Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
Posted in Vintage Fashion, Shopping Guide, Stylish Observations, Style Guide, Style Manila
I came across this topic on discussion in my group (a group that I belong to) over at Flickr, which basically questions the difference between using “thrifted” and “vintage” in describing clothes. This is brought about an increasing number of printed materials claiming certain clothes as such to the point that it’s becoming quite confusing.
According […]
