Costume Idea: Angel Wings

It has taken me a bit before I had actually taken a photo of this piece of costume accessory I bought early this month. It’s for a costume party of sorts that I’ll be going to on the 31st. Halloween! Well, here in Manila, we don’t usually party out that night to celebrate Halloween, instead […]

Styling Activity: Pantsuit

Pantsuits are not the prime choice for most ladies I know. This piece can pose a bit of a challenge for most fashionistas and knowing the Filipino women, pantsuits will definitely intimidate them. Hence, this styling activity to jumpstart the idea.

I reckon this One Shoulder All in One from Topshop looks fantastic all on its […]

Work Wear Monday: Layered, Belted and Plaid

Image: mango.com
Fall can be so much fun, styling-wise. I’ve already heard a few people say that they can’t wait wearing their coats, boots, and such to work. So, today, I’m opting for something layered, belted, and a dash of plaid.
It can be quite a looker when you know how to wear these different styles in […]

Sasha in Boho-style

Photo© 2008 Sasha Manuel
It was just a fun experiment. An 11-year old wanted to play stylist and tinker with my stuff. I had initially did it on her and she wanted to return the favour, hence, this photo.
I’ve always wanted to wear this scarf this way. Very artsy. The over-all style is so posh and […]

Style Inspiration: Fringe Fun

Image: mango.com
I reckon I did mention that I’m really into details. I do think that these bits about a piece creates a distinctive identity. Though the fringe trend has been around for quite sometime now, I still believe we can squeeze a little more out of this particular trend. With a little twist in how […]

Styling Inspiration: Purple and Green

It’ll be Fall before you know it. I know it can be difficult to imagine for some who are still basking in the Summer heat but, sometimes, you’ll benefit from thinking and planning ahead.
I’ve already mentioned that Purple will be the season’s hot colour, yea? And I reckon also mentioned how gold will look great […]

Work Wear Monday: Going for Length

Halston

The idea of wearing maxi dresses at work may be a bit of a stretch so let’s trim it down a bit and go for ones that fall below the knee or ones that reach up to the mid-calf. It has the same dramatic effect, well, sort of. But I’m sure you get the […]

Pile Up and Oversize Me

Going for the layered look simply means wearing a pile of clothes. I don’t mean that you have to have 10 items worn over each other; just 2-3 to create dimensions to the over-all look.
I’m certain that fashionistas have been doing this for ages and they’ve already mastered the art of layering, mixing and […]

Sunner Carmen Top

Best way to enjoy Summer is to look fresh, clean as if you’re as bright and sunny as the days of the season. Wearing white will always fit that description. And boho seems to be the perfectly suitable style.
Weighing the practical reasons in going for this particular style, it’ll prove to be a smart […]
