Lady In Red When you shop, don’t you always find yourselves sticking to neutrals? Getting something in either black, white, beige or grey? How come? Challenge yourself and pick out things with a pop of color! Yuki Tansengco Lately, I realized that I were to choose the next “neutral” color to add in my wardrobe, it’ll be red! Believe it or not, but a pop of red will go absolutely with anything. Zara red trousers Paint the town red! Lemme me show you how else you can incorporate red in your daily outfits! in Makati In my past blog posts, I discussed how you can play around with the smart casual dress code at work. You don’t need to stick to the blacks and dark blues because with our weather lately, definitely black is something to shy away from. Zara red trousers | Debenhams court heels  I actually wore this at work and my colleagues liked it! It’s a fresh take and the red instantly brightens up your look. You can add the “neutrals” touches with your bag and shoes! Ferragamo Vara 2-Way Embossed Hand Bag I love how this bag is just right for its size. I used to think…

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…

MYOH 2014 I strongly recall my first encounter with Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) back in 2007. Fond memories of learning, laughter and love – but that’s another story. Haha!

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…

Stepping Into Summer In Style With Praia         Morning runs with the ocean breeze uplifting the soul, strolls on the beach under the warmth of the sun, a cocktail or two at your favorite bistro and night time walks together with the twinkling stars—don’t you just wish you could do all these and more without worrying about the steps you will take? A journey as colorful and as vibrant as this deserves a fitting partner, a partner that will take you through it all.

Catch and I discovered this pretty walkway along the way and it was so windy.  Calima Jewelry | Estee Lauder I love jewelry pieces that make a statement but aren’t too overpowering. What do you think of these ones from Calima? I’m also wearing my favorite shade of Estee Lauder lipstick. Can you guess what shade it is? Nails by Lulu Nails & Dry Bar Let me show you some ways I do to keep cool in the summer! Versace floral printed trousers | Debenhams court heels First and foremost, balance the colors of your outfit. If you are already wearing a dark-shaded top, opt for a lighter pair of bottoms and accessories. Contrast is key! Calima Jewelry necklace Next, make your outfit “buildable”. I’m not sure if buildable is a real word but what I mean…

Yuki Tansengco Can you feel the heat lately? I don’t know about you but I find myself clinging onto loose, comfy outfits for work and minimal make-up. That’s my way of staying fresh all day! Mentos Since summer is fast approaching, I believe that there is no better feeling than the freshness that Mentos gives us! I’ve always loved this brand ever since I was a kid and it definitely made my childhood sweeter.  Mentos Strawberry Mix I clearly remember picking out the Strawberry flavor from the Mentos Rainbow tube and gladly sharing the rest. Now, I can have it all to myself with the new Mentos Strawberry Mix! It’s a mix of 3 flavors, classic, vanilla and sour! A triple threat, indeed!
