Yes, howdy folks! LOL.
One of the things I remember about my visits to Baguio when I was little was going horseback riding in Wright Park so can you guess what this particular tourist did? Er, duh. I went horseback riding!
Growing up, I’ve had this fascination with horses and had dreams of owning one (out of my budget, of course). And the last time I was on a horse, I reckon I was around 8 years old. So when I found myself in Wright Park, I just couldn’t let the …

Ever heard of the saying, “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride” before? Well, that’s me. Not that I’m complaining. LOL. But yea, I played bridesmaid over the weekend to my dear, dear friend’s wedding. A very special and poignant ceremony held somewhere in the metro.
In the bridesmaid roster, I was joined by my other close friends.

I don’t know about you folks but I certainly found the fact that I know how to do makeup on occasions such as this one, very, very useful. …

Twasn’t exactly part of the plan but, heck, I was with the gurls and it couldn’t be helped. At least, that was the case earlier. One had prodded everyone else to go shop and shop we did. LOL.
After a late lunch in CPK (Portobello Mushroom Ravioli and White Pizza with Smoked Bacon are always well-hearted, hehe), we headed toward the shops in Glorietta. My first stop is the first M — Mango. I told myself that I’ll just browse and check out what’s new (like I can’t do that online, …

Today’s a sick day but I’m well enough to spend some time updating Style Manila. However, before I go on with the more serious fashion-slash-beauty posts, I thought it’d be cool to share another weekend (one before last) that I had with friends and family.

It started out with a Hens Party held at Manila Peninsula, Makati City that I organised for a friend who’s scheduled to tie the knot a week and some days from today. Still can’t believe that she’s saying goodbye to the single life but, hey, I’m …

Last Saturday was esp reserved for a group of friends I haven’t had the chance to hang out with for years. Gawd, I miss these people. I don’t know why it took us a long time to schedule a get together. We all even failed to keep in touch for different (and forgotten!) reasons, probably thinking that being connected online is sufficient enough.
From our Burgoo dinner and coffee at Starbucks in Rockwell, we headed off to hangout at a friend’s house nearby. There we spent more time reminiscing. Stories filled …

Why is it that women have this fascination when it comes to lash length? I’m trying not to generalise it but since I, personally, am fascinated and I’ve met quite a number whom have voiced out their longing, I can’t help but deduce that it is shared by most if not all. Personally, longer lashes means prettier eyes. Why do you think they’re marketing mascaras as lash extending and such? It has become a known fact.
And since we weren’t born with it, we turn to certain beauty tools that …

Timing couldn’t be more perfect when I brought home this fabulous pantsuit by Lucca courtesy of The Ramp Crossings. It was the very thing I wore to the 6009 House Party Celebrating Originality hosted by Adidas at Embassy Fly last night. One of my targets this year was to buy a pantsuit and here it is. Best bit was I got it for free.
I adore strapless clothes. I know I’m rather thin and stick-ly to be wearing such things (esp since the lack of, ahem, goods) but I simply love …

A thought bubbled up in my head a few weeks ago and it was that I wanted to go get me a new tube of MAC Lipstick. Mistakenly figured as a passing fancy, that single thought enthused a thousand and one questions that were left unanswered till I found myself standing in front of a well-lit mirror with a tester in my hand. MAC in Glorietta. I guess this whim is serious or I’m just seriously going mental.
I absolutely adore the nude lippy look and I can still see myself …

Friday was spent doing errands. Twas esp warm that day (gawd) and I was thankful that I wore a thin cotton dress; grecian-inspired pink dress, I might add. Yea, it’s one of the rare opportunities you’d see me wear pink. Heh. I’m sure glad I rummaged through my closet and found this one. I reckon I bought this dress a couple of years ago, one of my tiangge finds in Ruins BF, and wore to the Clear Black Fashion Show event. I saw it again while I was packing for …
