Yuki Tansengco In a scene wherein companies only seem to sell us items for the main purpose of earning profit, making us want items that we don’t really need and worse, making us buy things that aren’t worth our money – there are some things that give me hope: honest brands with honest people. Honest to Goodness I strongly believe in karma, saying what goes around comes around. Even if being honest should be the ONLY option for us, I somehow find it so heartwarming when people choose that path when they could’ve done otherwise. in Trinoma So let me share with you 3 little experiences that GAVE me hope! 😉 Forever 21 ripped jeans & white heels First, these heels in F21 gives me hope. Why? For the first time in a long time, I bought a pair of heels that are so durable AND affordable. The best part – they don’t hurt AT ALL! No blisters to wounds on my feet. I call these my Milo marathon heels! Lol! W.E. Garage Batter Up cap Second, my newest purchase at Bayo gives me hope! You can see it in the photo above, it’s the oversize suede tote with the…

Tater’s Le Grand 20 Anniversary Festival Imagine a festival with unlimited food, games AND prizes. It’s every kids heaven right? One of the country’s favorite snack joints (I’m SURE you know them!) hosted “Le Grand 20”, an anniversary with a larger than LIFE celebration! 20 years of great snacks with our favorite cinema date – Taters! Le Grand 20 in Trinoma Let the festivities begin! I was so excited when I arrived because Taters is my official “movie buddy” every single time. So in Le Grand 20, I was amazed with the FULL ON circus set-up with activities, entertainers – the mime was my favorite! Guests could indulge into ANY of their favorite Taters snack and of course, I was in the nachos booth trying all the dips and enjoying their New York Beef Hotdogs! Unlimited Food and Drinks In 1994, Ms. Annie Tanchanco opened the first Taters stall located in a cramped mall space measuring only 8.5 sq m. Talk about humble beginnings! The store initially carried 3 products –popcorn, peanuts and fries. During the time, there are no branded food outlets in cinemas, just the generic popcorn concessionaires. The Taters was then born, being the first branded entertainment snack store. Fill…

Farewell, vacation Sad but true but it’s time to wrap our heads around the thought that it’ll be back to reality tomorrow. Back to the daily grind and back to business! I, on the other hand, am very excited. Sunday ootd Never in my life did I imagine myself to wear anything baby pink, to be honest. I found this color so feminine when I’m actually the opposite but when I saw this dress, I didn’t think twice about wearing it! skin by YSA Skin and Body Experts I’m happier that my need to wear make-up is getting less.

A World Without Strangers I’ve always been fascinated with street style photography – coming up to a total stranger and asking if you can snap their photo. I follow a lot actually, The Sartorialist, Humans of New York, etc. Lately, a came across a very interesting one – a photographer who solely focuses on Asians. Asian beauty I’d have to say that its our colonial mentality that makes us want to be so western. All the whitening product ads, wanting a sharper nose, lighter hair color, bigger eyes – when in truth, I believe Asians are beautiful as they are. Shoot with @asian_impressions Today, meeting and shooting with this streetstyle photographer strengthened my theory. Us Asians girls are beautiful! 😉 Proud Race jacket | Zara maxi | Tres Shoes wedges I was thinking, “How does this work?” I mean aside from the obvious fact that these photographers go around and spot stylish people on the street aka “streetstyle”, they probably also plan some shoots, right? Shot by Teban of @asian_impressions It all started when my fellow blogger Dez Lim (@dezadrienne on Instagram) shared her excitement to shoot with the popular streetstyle photographer, Teban. I got excited and asked if I…

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…

Designs by Abby Jocson | ASTRID Duffel Php2750 I’m honestly never saw myself as the model-y type but I am always game for a fun #OOTD shoot! We snapped these photos for my good friend’s bag line Designs By Abby Jocson. Her pieces are amazing – just like this duffel bag! Love locally made Are you still a student? Working? Chilling?

Let’s support proudly Pinoy goods, yes? 🙂 Yuki Tansengco I think I’ve masted the kunwari “walking” pose after this shoot :)) DIY singlet I’m very into DIY so instead of purchasing my own “side boob” tank top, I cut up an old shirt and hemmed the sides. This black one’s an old oversized t-shirt. What do you think? Thrifted gold and leather boots These boots also scored a number of compliments and my friends got surprised when I told them it came from a … thrift store!
