The past couple of days have been rainy and spent in one of my least favourite places — the hospital. I hate the smell and the constant reminder of our mortality, frail and fleeting. Walking along United Nations Avenue brought back memories of the days wherein I had frequented streets like it back when I was in Uni. Dark and damp, I had looked on pedicabs and street vendors plus countless cars and jeeps that you’d be pushed to think Manila never sleeps.

My mum had advised that I stay in …

I would’ve walked out of the house in this outfit. But it did. So I didn’t. Oh, it would’ve been a great joy to start out my work week as I’ve originally planned! Ah, well. Fate had something else in mind, I reckon.
The rain certainly can spoil plans, regardless of how shallow those plans may be. LOL.

Over the weekend, I had friends over my place to ransack my aparador, English translation: wardrobe, cabinet or closet, and tukador, English translation: dresser or vanity table. I just had to include those …

Personal hygiene is important. Growing up, esp once you hit puberty, you’ll be mindful of some of the things you use in keeping it well-maintained. Of course, since you hardly know which ones truly work and you can only rely on what your mum or sister or friend (or, worse, some tv advert you’d come across) to tell you what you ought to use.
And then there are beauty blogs which can dish out features (hopefully, not paid!) and reviews. This time around, reading up on the things before purchasing will …

Singapore footwear and fashion accessories label, Charles & Keith, was never on top of my list. But things changed one day a couple of years ago when I went shopping with my fabulous friends and they ended up pushing me inside one of the C & K stores. Oddly enough, I wasn’t too keen with the designs and it took several trips back (on different days, of course) before I settled on giving it a shot by buying (finally!) a pair of flat sandals last year.
A year later, during …

Sometimes, all it takes is a single piece to usher in a new flavour in your personal style. Either amp-ing it up or adding another an unusual dimension to your look. Change is upon us. I reckon it’s time to welcome new things.
Urban style brands Stussy and Dissizit available at Greyone Social give you a couple of ideas.

You can opt for the Stussy Straw Hat or feed that inner shirt fiend with Dissizit Foxy Lady. Jazz up your outfit by choosing a shirt with a fantastic graphic or top your …

It was the year 2005 when I had wished for one. I remember having walked into one of the trendy boutiques down in Rundle Mall (Adelaide, Australia) then spotted a hooded bomber jacket, gorgeous and all, but twas priced way over my budget. Dejected, I settled for a pair of cargo pants and a few accessories before heading out. I guess my wardrobe simply wasn’t prepared to accommodate such a fab piece of clothing just yet.
It took five years to get ready. Twas on a Sunday. Tired and with shoulders …

In between watching the hilarity that is The Soup and the odd memory-injected movie The Rocketeer, I decided to work on the photos from the recent fashion (shopping!) event that Robinson’s Malls hosted to put together this small feature on two lovely ladies that I was glad to have had the chance to see that day.
Lauren, with that beautiful smile of hers and the way her face would light up on recognition, is one girl I wouldn’t mind seeing more of. Not only do I admire her style spunk and …
