Events

Rock and Metal Like what I said in my previous post, a sure-fire way to make an outfit your own is to ACCESSORIZE! Don’t be afraid to wear statement pieces or stack it all up. Most recently, I came across a jewelry brand that is so sleek, you can pile on the pieces together or wear it alone. Ladies (and gents?), check out my latest discovery – RAM Jewelry!

Afternoon high tea with Brit-inspired clothing label Chelsea Yuki and I attended the Chelsea launch last Tuesday at the Fairmont hotel and it was a celebration of both the brand and its designer, Kim Tugade. To add to the awesomeness, Benefit cosmetics was an event partner and showed off the perfect tools to match Chelsea’s style. 

Ang Pasko ay sumaaapiiiit! Do you guys also already hear it in your heads? I don’t know about your experiences, but that’s always been the official closing song of all the Christmas Eve masses I’ve attended for as long as I can remember. That’s right; almost all 12 months of 2015 have rolled by and the holidays have begun to take over our hearts, minds and tummies (but mostly tummies, I bet) once again. Garterized pants, stay away. Snaps to whoever can keep them at the backs of their closets (not your own personal closets, but the open-for-all tambakan closet in your homes) for as long as possible. Garterized pants or otherwise, celebrating Christmastime in the metro has finally been made official. This November, Ayala Land electrified us – literally –  with the reveal of this year’s Central Business District’s main attractions: the lighting of ten very impressive, true to life, historical church replicas lined up along Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue, and Paseo de Roxas and the Ayala Triangle Gardens’ annual Festival of Lights.

Afternoon High Tea with OFRA Cosmetics I’m the type of girl who will still hoard lippies even if I have 20 others in a slightly similar shade. Nothing feels better than going out with a bare face and just your favorite lipstick on. Calyxta, an online magazine + beauty source dedicated to filling us in on the latest beauty news, recently launched their first ever Calyxta Beauty 101 session. On this day, we intimately discovered a matte lippie holy grail from one of its top-selling brands: OFRA Cosmetics.

Red Charity Gala 2015 It’s true what they say – you can never be too poor nor too busy to give back. Through our own little (or huge) ways, there is always something we can do to reach out to the less fortunate. Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Kaye Tinga, the event’s organizers, know how to do it – in style! This year, they team up with none other than London-based Filipino designer – Lesley Mobo.

Biggest Slip N Slide event of the year! It’s summer all year round for us here in Manila so here’s a new cool way to beat the heat – Slidefest!

Sperry X RAINS Do you love it or hate it when it rains? Honestly, my answer depends on my footwear. When I’m clad in rubber gum boots, I’m a-okay but if I’m out in sandals or my favorite suede flats, I start panicking when I feel a raindrop. Now, I don’t need to worry cos Sperry has got me covered with their latest collaboration with popular Danish brand – RAINS.

Spectrum Fair Manila The country’s first and only premium “Shop and Lounge” experience is happening this weekend! Social icons, lifestyle connoisseurs and avid shopping fair goers got a treat of a unique indoor-outdoor encounter with emerging local brands at Spectrum Fair Manila.
