Heaven scent! Do you ever get the overwhelming feeling when walking into the Beauty Section of a department store? I get that all the time, especially when everyone is suggesting you try EVERY scent so I was so excited when I heard about the SM Beauty Fragrance Festival! An intimate event to get to know the scents and sniff away! 🙂 with Beauty Blogger Shari of The Misty Mom Held in SM Aura, the SM Beauty Fragrance Festival had fun several pop up booths of fragrance brands available in the SM Beauty Section at the Main Atrium. It gave awareness because personally, I did not know they carried AMAZING brands which I thought weren’t locally available. SM Fragrance Festival The SM Beauty Store, heeding to the industry-standard fragrance wheel, had sections solely devoted to each fragrance family. I had so much fun going around and learning about different fragrance families! Let me show you my favorites. Versace Bright Crystal Absolu If you are a feminine floral type of person, you’ll definitely like this one from Versace. Just by looking at the crystal packaging, you can already smell what you’re in for. Tessa Prieto-Valdes stayed a little bit longer checking this perfume…

Yuki Tansengco For some reason, I have this odd habit of attempting to shop in the kids section. Why? Why NOT!? 😀 A lot of brands now are coming up with stylish lines in kids apparel! It’s really the age of fashown kids. Chill day Nothing feels better than trading in your heels for sneakers, tight jeans for loose shorts and a comfy cotton shirt. I think these will be my staples from now on! A sneakers and shirt thing. If the shorts fit – why not? You’ll never guess where I bought these eyelet shorts. Hihi :> Bensimon Tennis Elly shoes I was never a sneaker-person until I had my first pair of Bennies! (then my 2nd, 3rd, etc.) These shoes literally go with anything! Leggings, a skirt, pair of shorts – you name it. I dont mind getting dirt on them, too! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I came from a photo shoot so I had my hair done at Blo. It’s really one of my favorite pamper places. I used to get my hair done around Php1000-Php1500 per event but with Blo around, I get these VS curls for only Php500! Call 09176BLODRY to book a…

Bensimon DIY @ Common Thread Ever since the start of my blog, I’ve always been one to choose comfort over style. I would honestly pick a pair of comfy flats over sexy stilettos, if it suited my destination. Although a pair of heels would’ve looked nicer, I prefer something I can run in. WHAT IF – you see something that had both comfort and style? Ready-Set-Customize! Meet the first ever pair of sneakers I dared to customize. How did I do it? It’s easy as 1-2-3, promise! In partnership with Craft Manila I got SOOO excited when I received the invite. DIY + shoes + Bensimon?? Yes, please!

It has an iconic style and a sumptuous blend of colors. BEFORE | Bensimon Tennis sneakers Their sneakers range from Php2095 to Php2595, depending…

His & Hers I grew up with two brothers so when items get mixed up in the laundry – I am game to wear whatever.

It’s rainy season again so it’s time to bid goodbye all open-toe footwear and skin-showing pieces. Geeky specs I call this my “pa-safe” outfit. Why, you might ask?
