T2B Spotting: Toga on Water

Blogging about fashion for so long has my mind programmed to spot post fodders wherever I go. I guess, if you’re always on the look out for something to inspire you, style-wise, certain details from ordinary situations which people would normally dismiss, you pick up. Somehow, it excites the creative part of your brain, hence, […]

T2B Spotting: Gold Accent on White

First off, I apologise for the poor lighting. It doesn’t really show the colours properly esp since we are talking about colours in this post.
Lilly Chu was the host of the event that I was referring to on my last post. I can’t help but note something that caught my eye and style fancy. The […]

Ophelia as a Dress

It’s the Vintage Silk I bought from SohoKarma last January. After wearing it as a skirt (several times, in fact), I decided to be a bit bolder and experiment on wearing it as a dress this time around. I had tried it several ways until I opted for this style.
It […]

ZARA in Seoul, Korea

It seems like ZARA will be putting up shop in another Asian country — Seoul, Korea.
Apart from loving the style of the Japanese folk, some Koreans milling about Manila have a distinct flair, too. This applies to both males and females, mind you. I love their bold combination and use of distinguishable garments. They […]

Tops 2 Bottoms Gets Some Airtime

Early this month, I received an interview invite from Yonina Chan, one of the editors in Manila Bulletin, Fashion & Lifestyle Section. Manila Bulletin is one of the major broadsheets in the country, distributed nationwide. She told me she was writing an article on local fashion blogs. So, we got together one day and talked […]

Bermuda Shorts for Summer

I know some of you guys are still experiencing chilly days with sporadic good sunny days. Sorry but where I’m from, it’s scorching hot on some days. Summer is in full swing and all I can think about are clothes that will suit our weather and, sometimes, when it gets really bad, I reckon it’s […]

T2B Shopping: Aéropostale Denim Miniskirt

This denim miniskirt and I have a funny story to tell. But instead of narrating the entire story, let me just tell you the short version. I went to the beach. Stopped over at the Free Port Zone to do a bit of shopping and have dinner before hitting the road back to Manila. Left […]

Summer Must-have: The Capri

Photo© 2008 Sasha Manuel
My vote goes out to The Capri as one of this summer’s must-haves. Apart from its casual comfort, it’s also easy to style. Outfit combos can range from urban street style to boho beach wear. It will all depend on shoes and tops you’ll choose to mix and match.
I bought the […]

T2B Shopping: LBD, U2

Who says every little black dress, aka LBD, can’t be worn casually? I’ve been fortunate to have one that’s flexible enough to be worn either way. It’s this piece I bought from U2 in Megamall one time — I reckon twas a few weeks ago — during one of them mall-wide weekend sales. Yea, snapped […]

Sleeveless Frill Blouse

There are days when you still want to dress up a bit, yeah? I’m talking about summer outfits. There are occasions when you simply won’t be satisfied with casual looks even when it’s very comfortable. You want a bit of the polished look. Something not too dressy and formal. Something that’s still fun to wear […]
