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, […]

I reckon it’s quite obvious that twas worn on the beach, yea? ROXY is known for their swimwear — bikinis and board shorts to name a few. To date, my favourtie pair of bikinis is my ROXY bikini in chocolate brown. And since my brother gave me a ROXY board short, I was quite excited […]

ROXY Board Shorts, Take Me to the Beach!

If my way of celebrating our (my brother and I) beach plans is to give him a pair of Havaianas, his is giving me a pair of ROXY board shorts! Stoked! LOL.
I’m a bit surprised that a size 5 is still a little too big for me, considering I wear size 6 for bikinis. Do […]

Take a Gucci ‘Balkis’ with you

Believe it or not, it’s time to hit the beach here in the Philippines. The weather’s definitely beach weather. It’s getting much too hot to be surrounded by concrete pavements and walls. It’s time to sink your feet in powder-fine, white sand. It’s time to let the sun bronze the skin. I’m quite fortunate that […]

Trend Alert: Ruched Tube Tops for Summer

On my last beach trip, I already noticed this particular design on tops that women wore as is or over their bikini. I thought it cute and stylish for beach wear.
And last night, during my shopping spree, I noticed more options to the look and I actually took home two different styles of these […]

Sasha’s Roxy Bikini

Photos by Yuga
It’s a one year and a few month-old bikini. I bought it back in 2005 in a local surf/beach wear shop (gawd. I forget the name of the shop!) in Rundle Mall in Adelaide. One of the things I knew I had to buy before I head back home (I was heading back […]

Funny how it’s been in fashion for over two years now. I reckon it’ll be a while till it dies down. I bought mine in Australia prior the full-blown Big Sunnies extravaganza. I love it!
Oh yea, that’s me with two lovely ladies, Sharm […]
