Siargao, uncovering the life in and around the ocean

Surfer Style, Beach Fashion, Siargao, Philippines | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

The underlying culture of the beach life has often influenced the surfers as how the latter similarly affects the former. Focusing on a couple of aspects of the surf culture: fashion and general lifestyle, it’s curious to note how the beach bum stereotype came from qualities that stem from their commitment to the lifestyle that [...]

CoverGirl Lip Perfection and the search for the best red lipstick

CoverGirl Lipstick, Burn Shade, Sasha Manuel | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

I like things simple. Well, most of the time. I’d like it very much if I can find the best way to streamline my work and activities, including all the idiosyncratic routines than I go through everyday. Makeup and skin care have been cautiously classified under the uncommon love-hate affinity. Love what they do for [...]

A Glimmer of Images and Pseudo-Cohesive Thoughts (An August Mash-up)

Sasha Manuel, Tara Cabullo - Chronicles of Vanity | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

Direction. Don’t you ever wonder about that moment when you expect things to go smoothly since you know you’re doing what you think you ought to do only to find out that you’re swimming against the tide? Force or float. It will certainly require courage, strength and a little bit of support. Escape. Sometimes, it’s [...]

Career Jam on Studio 23

I know I haven’t been around much and I do apologise for the lack of updates but I am taking the time to blog today since (1) I’m already awake, (2) I thought it’s best to be productive while I wait for the video clip to finish the PP process and (3) this thing I’m [...]

Say When! Tempting.. but no, thanks.

Digital Perm, Beauty Brick Hair Art Studio | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

My social and work calendars were practically blank as soon as I got back so I knew I was free to pencil in any form of activity that I so wish. BUT the past few weeks have been crammed with people to meet and places to go that the rhythm that I was able to [...]

Travel Stop and the Great Singapore Sale

Singapore | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

One of the things that I was looking forward to as I had prepped for my trip back to Manila a few weeks ago, was the planned stop in Singapore; spent a few days rediscovering the country and QT with relations. With a sad heart, I had bid Adelaide adieu. The amount of time I’ve [...]

I’ll see you again, Adelaide

Shai Coggins, Sasha Manuel, Adelaide Central Market, Australia | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style, Lifestyle

The last few months have been wonderful. I can’t believe that I’m all packed (er, almost anyway) for my trip back home. I have to admit that this activity is one of the more stressful situations that I would find myself in — worrying if I’d be able to cram everything in my luggage and [...]

Touchdown Melbourne

Sasha Manuel, Outfits, Tog du jour, Australia, Melbourne | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style

It’s been close to 5 years from the last time I was in Melbourne. I’ve seen quite a bit that time but I’m quite certain I’d be seeing tonnes of changes. When the opportunity came up to take this trip (huge thanks to my sis and kuya J), I have to admit I had agreed [...]

Because my bestfriend loves shoes

Rubi, Australia, Evie Flats, Shoes | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style

My bestfriend loves shoes. It explains why she keeps (well, sort of) a shoe blog called Imeldific. It’s her way of sharing this love with the rest of the online world. Sure, she can afford to splurge on a pair or two (yes, the reach of her wallet can go that far, heh) but like [...]

Let travel rouse and broaden your style

Robe, South Australia - Easter Weekend, Travel Lifestyle | Style Manila - Fashion, Beauty, Shopping, Manila Street Style

Journey to discover life. Journey to acquire wisdom. Journey to praise and thank the one who made it. Journey to make the rest of the world something personal. It makes you bigger than you are. At least, that’s how traveling makes me feel. Twas something I wrote a few years back which came to mind [...]
