This was actually my first stop during that fated Tuesday shopping spree (see Shoe binge post). I’ve been putting my trip to a MAC counter for so long that when I did find myself in Glorietta, I just knew I’m not going to deny my need any longer.
I was in the market for a face powder and I’m curious if MAC had anything good for me to try. Of course, I know that MAC is a trusted cosmetics brand but the question on whether it will suit me (in terms …

Twas a Tuesday. A bad day. For the first time in my life I actually took myself to see a doctor. I’m not too keen on the matter. It’s probably due to this thing of having been hospitalised for almost two (2) months when I was 7, countless trips for check ups, medical exams and visits and then, on top of that, a semi-recent experience which involved the ICU (no, I wasn’t the one who got admitted but someone real close). So, there. Need I say more?
Going back to my …

A few posts ago, when I mentioned that the office dress code (where I work) is quite accommodating, what I actually meant was that I can actually come in a simple t-shirt and jeans combo.
For the sake of argument, this particular outfit is not your typical t-shirt and jeans look — note that I even took on a Levi’s white and blue colour palette, which was popularized by that old TVC — but, technically, it simply is what it is (a t-shirt and jeans outfit). IMHO, it’s all a matter …

Mondays can be such a drag, yes? It magnifies how short a weekend is and how much you yearn to make it last longer. It’s the most dreaded of all work days. But rather than choosing to be blanketed by gloomy thoughts, take control and have a bit of fun. At least, that’s what I did yesterday. I decided to wear a dress. And not just any dress, mind you. It’s one of the items I bought from the Ukay Manila Store.

Yes, it’s a second-hand Esprit dress that I got …

For the past week, I’ve been throwing some teasers to friends and online contacts about being in a local guy mag.

When I mentioned that I’m in its October 2009 issue, the statement definitely raised some eyebrows and garnered surprised looks on each of their faces. Rightly so cuz if you’ve seen me even just in photos, I certainly don’t have the make which would qualify to be on even a quarter of a page. But just to make things clear, there were no semi-nekkid photos in this feature. Fortunately. …

By tradition, Mondays mean a work outfit that leans toward the more formal business or corporate attire (at least from experience). It’s probably due to all the meetings and such which are usually held on this work day. But there are three (3) reasons why I opted to wear flats with a dress on a Monday.

Reason 1. Current weather.
I didn’t want to get caught in a work attire which can be troublesome in case of a downpour. It’s actually a stretch that I wore a dress.
Reason 2. Giving my feet …

If you missed the announcement, let me take this opportunity to mention it again (esp if you’re starting to wonder on the lack of posts) I’ve officially entered the rat race again — after more than a couple of years of sabbatical, mind you. The past few weeks have been a toss among several hats that I’m close to vetoing my latest career decision. Gah.
With all the adjustments I’m doing, I’m suffering from sleep deprivation and bad skin days (yech), throw in hair blah moments cuz I simply can’t …

There has been a major change of pace in my life and the past week had been spent accommodating new things and people, adjusting to a new environment and re-incorporating myself into a world that I’ve left behind a good couple of years ago. Back in the grind, odd emotions, all good but like with every highly charged occurrence, I’m often in need of something to help me relax.
Scheduling a salon day with a new friend on the first day of a long weekend was a mighty good idea. So …

The message is clear. Pushing people to trust more in themselves than what the society dictates, in this case, in terms of their personal style. Highlighting individuals who strive to stay true to who they are and their passions in life will thus be reflected in how they dress, the fashion event has put forth the ideal that in determining one’s identity, results will permeate in one’s lifestyle and fashion.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, I attended Look Magazine’s photo exhibit launch, The Look of Style — one of …

Don’t you find it odd, sometimes, that you would go through a lot of things in prepping for a single event which will only last a good couple of hours or so? Energy and time spent picking out the perfect outfit, bag and accessories then planning on how you’re going to do your hair and makeup. Wasted time? Depends on the person really. And, at least, it was fun.
I wanted to wear something special to one of the events from the Inquirer Lifestyle + Nokia Lifestyle Series, The Look of …
