The day when the local beach fashion tipped, causing more Filipino women to drop their inhibitions and start wearing bikinis, was a day worth celebrating. The market for such had boomed making the popular bikini brands like Roxy and Billabong a whole lot more popular. However, we all know how expensive these things get. Sometimes, I find that it’s way too impractical to spend Php 6,000.00 for a pair that you use once or twice a year (depending on how many times you hit the beach, that is). But we …

For this Summer, baring your shoulder and sporting bright, fun colours and prints will be a sure hit. The Ramp’s own Cristina Co, one of the merchandisers, shows off an outfit composed of stuff from The Ramp.

I love how Cristina ended up so refreshing to look at with her outfit. Now, I’m getting all the more excited for an upcoming trip out of town set for next week! Summer is just around the corner. I can almost taste it!
Thanks for letting me publish your photo, Cristina!

Fashion Day at The Ramp in Glorietta 3, Makati City last night had started out slow for me. Had I felt like shopping, I would’ve browsed through the racks and racks of stylish goodies that are within my reach but my mind was already programmed that I was there to work and that’s it. Silly me. How can one possibly be so un-interested even just to window shop esp since she’s surrounded by all that fashion? Gah. I guess I was just too parched, too tired, and too early for …

As the year 2008 draws to a close, I reckoned that instead of doing a trend round up, I’d rather highlight the ones we can keep an eye on come 2009. This year has been a whirlwind of trend after trend and I’ve noticed that most of the fashionistas were well aware and in tuned with them all. it has been a fun year in fashion, wouldn’t you agree?
Though some may have grown tired of keeping up with them trends, we just can’t help learning of new ones and …

Press Release
Experience Summer All Year Round with Havaianas
March April triggers a series of inevitable actions:
Beach-reads fly off bookshelves; shorts and tank tops tumble out of closets; patio umbrellas are unfurled; rooftop parties commence. And just as surely, the pitter-patter of flip-flops on the sand overlaps with the buzz of possible explorations under sunny, soon to be summery skies.
In the Philippines, the choices for summer escapes are rich indeed. There’s a lot to be explored in a country made up of 7,107 islands, where the breeze is balmy throughout the year. …

When I mentioned, “what I didn’t really like is that the shape of the flip-flops isn’t friendly for them who have wide feet”, on my last post, I wasn’t aware of the Havaianas WAVE line. These babies are meant for them guys with wide feet. Definitely.
I like how these flip-flops (but they look more like rubber sandals now) look. They’re very casual and look very sturdy. I like the light grey and navy blue colour combination. Makes it look clean and beach-ready. I love the straps.

You may be wondering why …

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 or 7-8 and such. This makes it easier for someone like me who’s buying it as a gift. It leaves room for error esp since I’m not certain whether if it will fit the recipient. …

Not that it really matters. I was just curious as to where you guys buy your pairs of Havaianas. I found it amusing that there is a shop that sells just flip-flops like the store all flip-flops, and they only sell the said brand. I have to admit that I’m still quite baffled as to why Havaianas are such a craze here in Manila. Yes, I’ve heard hundreds of testimonies to its comfort and style, but I still see them as pairs of rubber slippers priced outrageously high. Oh, …

I want a pair of Crocs™ Capri Sandals!
I do!
I had wanted it for my trip to Punta Fuego.
I had wanted it for my trip to Bohol (and Cebu!).
And I had wanted it for my backpacking trip up North with the Kiko Karavan, er, well a portion of the way, I mean.
It’s the kind of footwear made for these kind of travels! It’s light and comfortable to wear, perfect for long walks or uneven surfaces. It would’ve helped care for my poor little feet. Sniff.
Yea, I did …
