Yuki Tansengco To be honest, I sometimes get confused with the term “smart casual.” For some odd reason, it doesn’t translate the same way everytime I see it on the invite so does that mean we should play by ear? Monday Blues In my workspace, we are allowed to wear “smart casual” and whatever makes us feel comfortable at work – staying within the “corporate attire” guidelines. Always sticking to blues and blacks. Dress Code 101 So really, what is the difference between casual and smart casual? There’s even “business casual” 😀 Parisian suede blue flats For this outfit, it looks sort of casual with the high waisted pants but rows back to smart casual because of the colors and the button down. Although some workplaces strictly require heels, it’s also good to pack both heels and flats when you’re at work. Hair by Jing Monis When it comes to the hair, casual would be down and undone while smart casual would be a sleek ponytail or set curls. Thank you to Jing Monis for my hair! I think I need to re-color it! Ferragamo 2-way sling For the bag, casual would be colorful bags in various sizes and smart…

Kris Abrigo for Nixon Marking the return of warmer weather and sunshine, we welcome in spring 2014 with the latest Nixon for Kate Spade Saturday collab.  Nixon x Kate Spade Saturday To celebrate the launch of this genius collaboration, I got the chance chance to witness a live mural painting at the Nixon store, SM Aura! Nixon, SM Aura Coincidentally, the Nixon store in SM Aura is the only branch that carries apparel. How cool is that? Head over to Nixon in SM Aura and see their latest collection.  About Nixon When you choose to wear a watch, put on your headphones, or select a wallet to hold your hard earned cash, you deserve to have something that reflects your entire package. You may not know how to say it, but you’ve got something to say and you can’t slap on an off-the-shelf piece and consider yourself you. That’s why in ’98, Nixon entered the market and after all these years, they’re still here! 🙂 Art Mash A live mural painting was going on during the afternoon with one of Manila’s most creative artists Soleil Ignacio and Kris Abrigo.  Soleil Ignacio x Kris Abrigo In the store, this creative duo curated a…

Yuki Tansengco Earlier this week, I gave a talk on the appropriate styles for each body type to a group of women and that’s when I realized: I fall under the “rectangle” body type. So I’d like to dedicate this post on styles to accentuate and compliment our almost non-existing curves.  Rags 2 Riches “Buslo” bag I believe it’s all about proportion and balance. Forget the fashion rules on “layering” to add curves, etc. I want you to embrace your body type and even if you’re a “rectangle”, you can still wear fitted clothing!  Freego Jeans In my younger years, I used to hate wearing fitted clothes such as jeans and leggings. I thought it made me look thinner and highlight my stick figure but I’m so happy to have found a denim brand that tailors jeans so well! Freego Jeans Super Shaper So ladies, forget the 30,40,50 squats per day. There’s a quicker and less tiring solution – Freego Super Shaper jeans! It’s currently my favorite and I am amazed on how it fits. It’s all about choosing the right cut and wash for you. “Buslo” by Rags 2 Riches Also one of my current faves, this carry-all from…

Go Love Life with Sangobion! Who wants to know the secret to happiness? More money? More fame? Hmm, I don’t think so. The secret to happiness is wanting what you have – not having what you want! So simple, right? 😉  Ways to Love Life! Sangobion’s new efforts truly show women that caring for others also means having a healthy relationship with yourself.  It’s about loving yourself first so you can fully embrace the life you lead. So how does Sangobion help us? Sweets, nail and hair pampering during the event We truly felt pampered during the event! Women are natural nurturers. Some women love cooking for others, some like to give gifts, while others enjoy lending a helping hand. It is in these acts of kindness that we often feel happy and fulfilled. Though we have much love to share, we often show love for ourselves the least.  But by focusing on our own well-being and pampering ourselves once in a while, we learn that in order to give love, we must begin loving ourselves first.  About Sangobion Unlike other iron supplements, Sangobion contains Ferrous gluconate, an organic iron, which is absorbed better by the body to help fight…
