The Philippines only has 2 seasons - Monsoon and Summer season. And since the weather is getting hotter so does the fashion trends.  With Rich purples, fiery reds, hot pink, lime, orange and warm yellows with some soft brown and creamy neutrals a lot of fashionistas are feeling more adventurous than ever this summer.  As Fisher Department store launches their summer collection lines you can see a strong Moroccan influence into it. Moroccan style is highly influence a lot of the collection with its bold sophisticated and exquisite style similar to the elaborate mosaic patterns seen throughout.  And also with the bohemian/festival trend being popular, its fairly easy to get key pieces you will like at Fisher Department Store. 

Usually I like to shop for key items for my wardrobe like a good pair of shoes, a nice dressy blouse that fits for casual and business setting. The only problem is there are not a lot of stores that offer that on a tight budget. But thankfully I found it in Urban Generation! They actually offer really good quality clothes without burying your wallet to the ground - I am not kidding. I was able to visit a couple of their stores and I remembered seeing a couple of shirts that costs about 500 pesos on a high end clothing store that costs half its price at Urban Generation - Too bad that shirt was sold out immediately because they were really cute. And I am really thankful to be part of the selected few to be invited for the grand opening of their Calamba, Laguna branch. The event was graced by Hon. Timmy Chipeco, Urban Generation Owner Renato Uy and one of their brand ambassador's Bea Binene. There was a ribbon cutting as to officially open its sixth br...

Did I ever tell you guys that I also know how to sew?  Yeah..that's one of the hobbies I have that I don't normally say to anyone because its a practical skill but not something we do everyday.  I actually just finished making a pair of shorts for myself and tried to use it beyond to comforts of home. The hemline stitches broke though which was unfortunate. But it looked great with my top from Urban Generation.  The top actually looked more like a dress which was really nice.  One thing I loved about my top is the print because its a palm leaf! Its a total rando but what gives haha!  If you want to check out more about Urban Generation and their clothes you can visit them on their stores at  Avenida, Manila Carriedo, Manila Malolos, Bulacan Calamba, Laguna Rosario, Cavite Silang, Cavite and their latest branch at Calamba, Laguna!  Much love!  xx Alice

As the days are going, more parties are coming along. This week alone I have about 5 parties to attend to! Its crazy! But thankfully I have a full wardrobe of clothes so I don't have to wear the same top over and over again.    One of the tops I am currently loving is this hot pink top from Urban Generation. It is a little form fitting so it will give me a mental reminder not too eat too much haha! There is one detail about it that I love - Its so warm! I wore this top when I went to Cook Magazine's 5th year bash at House Manila with my Big Difference Communications Family.  I like wearing this top with my ripped jeans to give it a bit more attitude and a pair of black pumps. Honestly my feet were in pain after wearing these because I am not used to wearing heels.  The top actually comes in different colors but I chose hot pink to make a statement.  If you want to get one as well you can drop by any Urban Generation store in  ...

Since 2010, Raffles Design Institute Manila has opened its doors to aspiring designers who want to learn more in a globally competitive way.  Raffles Design Institute is a subsidiary of Raffles Education Corporation of Singapore which is one of the largest premier private education group since 1990 with campuses in 30 colleges, 28 cities across 13 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.  And it was truly a great honor to be seeing their latest batch of students showcase what they learned in Raffles Design Institute Manila.  The whole theme of the event was like you will be going on a flight. I love how all the students were in character the whole time during the event.  When the program started, there were some opening remarks that also introduced the teachers that honed the students. One of which is the well known designer Albert Andrada which teaches Fashion Design.  And now its time for the Fashion show!    ...

Hello ladies!  Do you ever have that time that you don't know what to do with your make up so it matches your outfit?  Here are some tips I could give out.  I'll be using Ever Bilena's Shade lipstick as an example to these looks ok?  Lets start with a simple look with a pop of color. With this kind of outfit I would suggest go with a pink lipstick like Rosy Mirage or Pink temptress and an over all clean no-make up like look. This gives the look a very clean yet stricking image. Also It doesn't have too much impact to the face.  If you have a penchant for monochromatic looks like this one I suggest go for a pop of color. Use a bright red or an orange red lipstick to make the face stand out. Try Red Vixen or Foxy Garnet to give your make up a pop of color.  One thing I like about Ever Bilena's shade lipstick is they have a great selection of colors that can also be great for summer!  Don't be afraid to experiment y...

Hello lovelies!  I have been addicted to The Carrie Diaries mainly because I've been an avid viewer of Sex and the City since its first season - I am not joking with that. I was I think 9 or 10 when I started watching that show and the reason why is I love Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones. 

Happy Sunday wonderful lovelies!  I was supposed to post this before February but procrastination got the worst of me. I know I shouldn't procrastinate but sometimes it just gets you like BAM!  But anyways these are the stuff I got last January since it was my birthday and also my beauty channel and blog's birthday! I know I'm just coming up with a reason to buy these but I think its valid! haha! I was quite surprised that I got a lot of stuff this month.

I know it seems that I'm late but its better late than never post at all right? haha! okay so lets get started with the products shall we? 

Hello ladies!  I am back with a fashion post! If you know me personally you would know that I don't like to dress up BUT I like to give fashion advises. I know sounds pretty bizarre but sometimes I find it hard to style myself since my time is a bit constraint from my job and everything else. I try to check out trends a lot and share them to my friends so at least they know the latest in fashion and make up. One of the latest trends that I've seen everyone is wearing is sheer tops. I've seen shop after shop that sells these for 300PHP and higher and all I can say was

Hello ladies!  Most people that know me personally know that I don't dress up much. Not that I don't have any style in my body but simply I don't give a lot of attention in that area, but when I do you better watch out LOL.  But kidding aside dressing up is something other girls really give a big deal since it can really show how much you want to stand out without doing too much.  I will be telling you on how to dress up for your body shape.

Credits to Oscar Last Sunday (May 27 2012) I was able to attend Rajo Laurel's fashion show with Bench during Philippine Fashion Week.  I was definitely excited since Rajo Laurel is one of my favorite designers and Bench is partnering with him with this collection which is great since most Filipinos buy from Bench. 

Last Saturday I was able to attend the unveiling of Erzullie's Resort collection for 2012.

sorry for the irrelevant picture I just missed this moment haha Dressing up is something I have a love-hate relationship with. I like dressing up when I feel like to. You can ask the my closest friend and they would tell you out front that I don't like dressing up that much.
