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 […]

Shopping Binge @ The Ruins, Part 2!

Omigod. Omigod. Omigod.
I did it again. I binged shop at the Ruins! BUT! This time I did not plan it. The original plan was to go watch the movie, “Miss Potter” in Alabang Town Center!
It all started with that pair of bikinis I bought in Rustan’s. Gah. Rico had to drag me out of the […]

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 […]

Last Hurrah On Swimwear, Part Deux

Sorry.
Can’t help it. I had to. I’m a beach-whore that’s why it’s only normal for me to shop for beachwear, right? Hahaha.
I think this number from Tommy Bahama is note-worthy. It’s a Convertible Maillot and Pareo. Maillot is a swimsuit with a tank-style torso with high-cut legs and a Pareo is just another term […]

T2B A-List: Nautica’s Cool, Clean Look

I know it’s a bit silly thinking of the beach when it’s been constantly raining here. But I miss the beach. I wish I can be there right now and let the waves soothe away the stress in my bones.
/sighs
So, I’m limited to shopping — window shopping — ONLINE! Heh. Pathetic, eh? I really […]

The Preppy Stripe Swimwear

These are from Lisa Curran’s swimwear collection.
Outfit # 1
TOP: Preppy Stripe Keyhole Tankini
BOTTOM: Scoop Bottom
I love this one. I love the colours. They look so cool and refreshing. I like the stripes. It’s so casual and even if it’s printed, it’s simple. It’s a fun thing to wear.
I can imagine myself sipping a melon […]

First Closet Raid: Mine.

Yes, Sasha’s closet. Ha!
I just thought I’d start my Random Closet Raid Series with a feature on my own closet or wardrobe — whatever. Bleh.
I’m not particularly keen on what I have in it right now because the clothes in the photo are the only ones I could fit in one luggage since I am […]
