I’m fascinated with Vintage apparel. It’s not easy for me to pull it off but I’ve been constantly experimenting, hoping that I’d be able to wear them with comfort and ease. It’s not easy to find items that are not too flamboyantly retro or that are inexpensive. Though I could rummage through my […]

Ophelia has arrived!

Earlier than I expected. Yay! Ophelia arrived with my younger brother, who came home from a business trip. Ophelia is vintage silk sarong I bought over at SohoKarma’s Etsy shop.
I’m a bit intimidated with her, I have to admit. The length, prints and fabrics are creating style ideas in my head however since it’s a […]

Vintage and New Hair

Two consecutive days and two different looks. Recent outfits I put together. On the left is a 12-year old dress, which makes me want to call it my very own vintage dress worn with a touch of grunge and on the right, a fashion find that’s very deceiving. The bottoms I’m wearing in the […]

Fall Coat Option: Tides Coat by Karen Zambos Vintage Couture

Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Tides Coat
Any chance I get to own something classic, I tend to grab it. Wouldn’t you do the same thing if you were in my position? However, it’s a bit hard to do in my country since it’s hard to spot a really great place to spot an authentic vintage item. […]

A Bit of Vintage Fashion, Scarlet by Cole Vintage

This love-hate relationship that I seem to have with vintage is costing me money and opportunities, I tell you. Love because I do love certain fashion eras that I can only describe as oh-so-glamourous like the 20s and the 70s. Hate because there are certain pieces that I find so tacky and, yes, the idea […]

Thrifted Vs. Vintage, Thoughts?

I came across this topic on discussion in my group (a group that I belong to) over at Flickr, which basically questions the difference between using “thrifted” and “vintage” in describing clothes. This is brought about an increasing number of printed materials claiming certain clothes as such to the point that it’s becoming quite confusing.

Shop Find: Vintage Amore

In my daily meanderings, I was fortunate to have stumbled upon this online store that sells vintage stuff! I like vintage and the best place to get them here is from an ukay-ukay (translation: it’s a slang term derived from the tagalog word that means ‘dig’; the term now connotes or can mean ‘digging out […]

It’s been a long time coming but here she is, my dear fashionistas, Google Philippines Country Consultant Ms. Aileen Apolo, after putting together the ingredients and sprucing them up.

Styling Project Update: Sprucing it up

Hair and Make up are two of the important things for any styling project. Of course, styling is usually done for a specific occasion, so, your subject is obligated to spruce up the look. IMHO, wearing a fabulous outfit, complete with gorgeous shoes, will seem half-baked if not coupled with a styled hair and a […]
