Pininho - Glamourize your Havaianas!

Right now, we are going gaga for accessories - bib necklaces, cocktail rings, and vintage bangles. You'd think you have it all but na-ah! Until you get this Pininho pins for your favorite pairs of Havaianas.


True Love? and Skull with Bones, I'll take the second one!

Pininho pins come in several designs, material, and color. I suggest going for the gold ones for that ulta-chic and classy look. Love this skull and bones diamante :)



Super helpful when you are aching for a new pair of flip-flops but are tight on the budget. Imagine, you can use different Pininhos for the same pair of havaianas.

Pininho pins also come from the makers of Havaianas and you can simply use the punch to create a hole in your havies. For more information, visit http://pininho.multiply.com/ to view all styles and learn how to order.

Maldita in Sunnies

Thin, thin, thin - at last!

Maldita embellished dress. Finally got big deep black sunnies. Checked out both Mango and People are People and looks like People and People won this round. Look for shade # 3 at the Greenbelt 5 branch. Repaired my Hush Puppies Sonnet, thank you Mr. Quickie :)

Best Places to Enjoy a Frozen Yogurt and Chill

White Hat Yogurt + Rachel Zoe = Win!

Everyone is hooked! At least frozen yogurt is a healthy way to enjoy dessert which includes live micro organisms. Everywhere I go, I am always on the look out for a yogurt break. To make it easier for you, I've listed down some branches I have discovered that you can easily visit while shopping.

In Ayala Center:

1. White Hat in Greenbelt 5 - they have magazines and books including Rachel Zoe's style book. The place also has lots of sitting options including comfy couches so you can enjoy your yogurt right there.

2. Yoh-Gurt Froz (Froyo) in Greenbelt 5 - no sitting options so this is the place to go if you want to take out some froyo.


Red Mango's stylish wares

3. Red Mango in Greenbelt 3 - super nice place, you can enjoy your yogurt al fresco overlooking the rest of Greenbelt or stay comfy inside their spacious shop.

In Mall of Asia:

1. Yoh-Gurt Froz (Froyo) kiosk at the Food Court - they only serve flavored yogurt and no plain yogurts here. Enjoy this with free wifi care of SM Mall of Asia, just have a sit at the food court.

2. White Hat Entertainment Mall, SM Mall of Asia - this store is smaller than that in GB 5 and they have around 3 tables outside where you can enjoy your yogurt.

At SM Megamall:


Colorful Yogurt from Tutti Frutti

1. Tutti Fruti at the Atrium - spacious shop with lots of different flavors. Self-service fun here, combine different flavors and toppings.

2. Red Mango at the Ground Floor - Red Mango always have nice stores!

At Bonifacio Highstreet:


Yo-Gurt Froz Blueberries and Mango


1. Yo-Gurt Froz (Froyo) at Hobbes and Landes - Nice sitting options within Hobbes and Landes. You can also shop for some goodies for your pets after eating :)

Shangrila Mall

1. Yo-Gurt Froz at the top floor



2. Yoswirls - Yogurt by Better than Ice Cream. It's in the middle of a hallway with lots of comfy couches and tables for a quick stop.

Did I miss any favorite frozen yogurt branches?

Newsflash: Bryanboy Kills Cocktail Rings

It's official, there's no escaping the return of the rings. Bryanboy nails it with $5 Marc Jacobs rings from New York. Read BB's latest entry

Looklet - Monochromatic + Pink

Dark and cute

Your closet dreams finally can come true with Looklet. This is what I would wear today given that body and designer pieces. I chose the black draping blouse with a skinny metallic wet-looking pants. Pointy high heels for additional height and a dramatic headband from Evita Peroni. Love the length of the necklace and the giant cocktail ring from H&M.


Another look for the partyphile, sequins must be in your closet by now.

Of course, these can be easily recreated with some old and new things. Looklet is addicting! Style your models now :)

Feathered Headbands and Mini Hats

peacock feathered headband and victorian mini hat with veil

Welcome back to the Victorian Era! Headbands have been making a come-back ever since Gossip Girl. But when everyone is donning a big bow on their heads like Minnie Mouse, you can enjoy a more sophisticated style of hair accessories.

Big ribbons and bows are over, entering the scene are padded or feathered headbands. The most elusive designs are those with a faux peacock feather, so elusive that some just decide to make them from scratch. You can make your own feathered headband just by gathering a plain headband, glue gun, backing fabric, and feathers. All of which are readily available in department stores in Manila.

When I personally went to SM Department Store to get my materials, I was taken aback when I saw these:


Feathered headbands, clip on hair accessories, and Victorian mini hats in SM Department Store. Click to enlarge and have fun choosing!

Now we don't have to make our own when each headband and mini hats with veils only cost around Php 250. In Multiply stores, headbands are kind of overpriced as well as in other shops that I have checked out.



These hair accessories can either spell sophisticated or if not worn properly, they could appear like a circus on your head. However, it's great to grab them now before they are off the racks. Perfect for super parties or when you just feel melodramatic :)

At Barbie's Fashion Show

The background is so pink it almost makes me happy! This is just the third time I am wearing the high-waisted skirt because I found it difficult to pair. Note to self: white is widening.

Yet, it's already in my closet so might as well have fun with it. Paired it with a yellow blouse with puffed sleeves and golden ballerina flats.

Pastel colors with white seem to work quiet well...
