My Nike Set on Polyvore: Rockstar Luck

Heart my set on Polyvore because everyone needs a pop of RED and a dash of luck.



Like my previous forecasts, this year is all about colours and even rockstars are wearing their styles bright. Thumbs up from me!

The red sneakers are superb in bringing about confidence and power. The printed tee same on Myrene in the poster, reminds me of a peaceful yet magnificent Japanese Coi fish on a pond.

Now get your rockstars on and try your luck with just do it.

Lady Gaga, Frappucino, and Starbucks

Lady Gaga is taking over Starbucks in the US, meanwhile in Manila - YOU can take over your own Frappuccino.

Starbucks Philippines launches the new However-You-Want-It Frappuccino® blended beverage, allowing customers to create a blended beverage that is uniquely their own. Customers can tailor their Frappuccino® beverage with a variety of fresh milks or soy, choose the intensity of their coffee and pick any combination of syrups or toppings – the same way they customize their favorite Starbucks® espresso beverage.

Among the thousands of new combinations, Frappuccino® blended beverage creations includes my dream come true!



Soy Green Tea Cream Frappuccino® blended beverage

A delightful treat, this beverage is made with matcha powder and soy milk, blended with ice and topped with whipped cream. I've been looking for matcha powder drinks and eversince Matcha Cafe was gone, I wished that a bigger player would take on the flavor. Starbucks did! :D

From soy combinations to those that limit the number of calories, customers can now select their favorite ingredients to find a Frappuccino® blended beverage to meet their dietary needs. By choosing nonfat milk with sugar-free syrup, a Tall (12 fl. oz) blended beverage has only 100 calories, while doubling the Starbucks® Frappuccino® roast coffee and skipping the syrup will intensify the taste, without increasing the sugar.



Customers can connect with Starbucks about their new, However-You-Want-It Frappuccino® blended beverage at Frappuccino.com.ph.

Nike Sportswear x Sandwich Rocks the Perfect Summer Style

Someone just nailed the perfect summer attire, I am not a fan, but it is Sandwich who recently collaborated with Nike.



The laid back, flowing, and rocker lifestyle fashion maintained funkiness and functionality. Just look at Myrene (whom I recall as my daily NU 107 DJ) sporting a simple loose shirt with white shorts, and a pair of sneakers.

This style is much like what I wear nowadays, who has time to work complicated clothes and dresses right? Or maybe I am just stressed but thank you Nike for declaring this as a summer style that rocks!

Technology: The iPad 2 Test

Not to complain but I barely have time to read magazines nor watch TV but when I came across this iPad 2, I asked myself - do I have time for this?



My heart is saying yes but my brain says no. If I could share it with Ashton then good but right now all he knows of doing is to bang his palm on gadgets. Steve wouldn't like it.

Joni and Anya got one and they say it is superb. Joni gets to check constellations with it and has downloaded $5 apps since. An iPad 2 almost costs the same as a round fare ticket to Melbourne ack. And what if they release an iPad 3, are iPad owners already crying?

Thing with Apple is they always have an upgrade and fast. Anything I would have bought would have diminished value once the new version is out. Have you taken the iPad 2 self-test and did yourself prescribe a purchase yet?

Fashion: Ipanema at Philippine Fashion Week 2011

This is just a teaser of what is to come in the upcoming Philippine Fashion Week. Have you got your invites yet? This year I wish that clothes from the runway actually make it to the racks. Especially what's to come from Ipanema :)

Watch and enjoy!

Fashion Promo: Dive into Express Swimwear and WIN $200 GiftCards

This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.

Summer break is just a stone’s throw away and if you haven’t shopped for that perfect itsy bikini then you are missing out on the fun! I think 50% of summer excitement comes from preparing for it. Planning, shopping, and packing! And these days when time is scarce, I consider shopping online for women's swimwear a great deal.



I found these swimsuits at Express trendy with bright solids, on-trend graphic prints, the essential reversible style, nautical-inspired striped and sleek metallic styles.



How do you pick the perfect swimwear online? Well just like when shopping in a physical shop, it’s great to ask a friend. Yes that friend who’ll tell you the truth when it comes to clothing and it’s fun to send links to and from Facebook to get opinions. I would do this with my sister who’s in a very far place.

Some tips on finding the perfect bikini or swimwear at Express :

1. Be realistic - don’t pick sizes that you “hope to fit in”. You don’t need to starve to look great in your swimwear, choose the right size and use a tape measure whilst shopping online.

2. Think of comfort - and practicality. Choose swimwear that suits the type of vacation you are having. If you are out with a group of friends then a two piece bikini is fun to wear. When out with the family or company outing, it’s best to don more conservative styles to avoid any fuss.

3. Choose quality over fashion - check strings if they are durable, and the fabric of the swimwear itself. A piece may look fancy but may lead to malfunctions hence embarrassing summer moments.

There you go! I am sure you are excited to shop. Sign up for Express e-mail for a chance to win one of ten $200 Express GiftCards. Don't forget to read the sweepstakes rules

Pond's Flawless White Unbeaten Challenge Night @ Fiama

Tuesday was one beautiful night at Fiama where we beauty bloggers celebrated the end of our Pond's Flawless White Challenge :) All the Pond's beauty ambassadors were there and that's us!



Thanks to everyone who supported me and my partner, Earth - both of us enjoyed the experience and honestly, Pond's Flawless White visible day cream allowed me to trim down my skincare regimen this summer. It's the perfect sun protection cream against UV and dark spots.



Thank you as well to Plains and Prints for providing our chic clothes. Thank you to Azrael, my husband who chose this red dress for me. Red is becoming my favorite and lucky color :D

Fashion: My Readers Rock Red Box | Ongoing Promo

Only 4 more days to go until the end of our Red Box Rock, Dine, and Roll promo! Here are the latest entries from my fantastic readers:



Tiffany Sy sent her photo from a rock band battle event

I remember I had rock band shirts when in College that I loved pairing with denim skirts. My sister Joni also had a rocker phase and she almost completed all shirts from Metallica and Bush. I love 90's rock music :)



and Rhodora Valdez sent her photo wearing her favorite rocker shirt

If you join this promo and win, you will be treated like a billionaire rock star and sing with Travis McCoy and Bruno Mars, plus all the other hit makers while enjoying delicious food from Red Box!

Again, one winner will win this package while 9 more winners will receive a free head charge from Red Box. I can't wait to rock, dine, and roll myself and treat my family and friends with yummy dishes like the must-try california maki rolls, and my favorite buffalo wings!

Whenever I am at Red Box, I can't help but focus on the food and the free WiFi. So hard to pick a song to sing, especially when I don't have time to listen to the radio. I'd stick with old rock songs then :) What are you singing if you win?

Rock and Roll!
