Gionyx

in my holiday uniform In a country wherein we have only 2 seasons, I get pretty jealous when the fall/winter collections come in after July. My favorite brands stock up all the layering pieces you can think of: scarves, coats, hats and wool socks but unfortunately, no cool weather here to wear it – unless it’s the holidays! Layering in Manila I have learned a little cheat sheet when it comes to layering in Manila. Let me know if you agree with me! Mango plaid dress | Zara boots | Forever 21 thigh highs I’ve always wanted to own thigh-high booties but that would obviously be too warm for our climate. Instead, I re-created that look and wore thigh-high cotton socks instead. Avoid material such as wool cos that’ll be too warm! Veloci Voyager Watch The synthetic material of the dress isn’t as warm as it looks. Plus, the length gives a lot of ventilation. Haha! To keep it simple, I paired this look with a Veloci classic Voyager watch. Check out Veloci on Facebook! Mango red purse Since the majority of the outfit is in blue/black, I paired a bright red purse from Mango for a pop of color.…

It’s Britney, bxtch. I’ll always remember buying and fangirling over those 90’s casette tapes of JLo and Britney when I was younger. Attempting to sing like them (nope, no chance), dress like them (nope, too young) and lastly – have pretty hair like theirs.  Korean salon in Bel-Air, Makati I’ve always wanted highlights but people somehow made it seem like it might be too over the top or unnatural … until you meet the right people who know their stuff. I’m glad I did – at Gionyx! at Gionyx Hair and Nail Salon Above everything always, I’ll forever love the genuine kind service at Gionyx. I walk in on a Sunday and the salon is quite busy. I was willing to wait for my turn til the receptionist Joy noticed I looked sleepy (and I SUPER was! Zzz). She asked if I’d like to take a nap in their VIP corner and gave me some pillows. Believe it or not – I woke up 2 hours later. Deep sleep! They even offered me tea when I woke up! :))  Much needed R&R Anyway, now the pampering starts! I super love the service at this salon because 1. They only suggest…

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…

Officially a “nails person” (lol!) To be honest, I’m the type who isn’t really particular how often to have my nails done or even what nail polish brand to use. Most recently, I decided to give the popular “Gel Nails” a try and I was amazed with the results! Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon And where else to get it done other than from the people who know it best? Got my nails done in a Korean salon in Makati! I super love them!! Services at affordable prices Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon is the ONLY one of it’s kind that offers authentic Gionyx products straight from Korea. They believe in only using the best for their clients and Gionyx is similar to OPI – really tough and vivid colors.  Gel manicure With it’s clean and spacious surroundings, you’ll surely feel at home Gionyx. They have sooo many colors you can choose from and a classic manicure only costs Php200! The gel one costs Php850 and here’s why I love it: 1. No pain cleaning I’ve experienced a lot of nail salons before and some feel like murder. At Gionyx, the nail technicians undergo intensive training and I didn’t feel…

Korean Invasion: Pamper time! Have you ever wondered why Korea is popularly known for its beauty products? I had some serious girl time in a Korean salon in Makati and I quickly discovered why – they know their stuff!!! Gionyx Hair & Nail Salon It’s Bel-Air’s secret gem, a hole-in-a-wall kind of place and I’m so happy for discovering it! The brand name “Gionyx” was created by combing the word “Onyx” which means nails while adding the “Gi” from Girl. So it’s really a must-try location for hair and nail enthusiasts!
