Flip-flops Cautionary Tale

After taking weeks to get over our Make Your Own Havaianas hangover, I realized that a switch from your usual preference of Havaianas High to Havaianas flats actually bear discomfort and the heels of our feet usually take the toll of such switch. See, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe who claimed that she NEVER has a pair of flats is my long lost twin or how else can you explain the resemblance of our flats-free closet, huh?
Sad to say but, yes, it is more painful to wear flats than heels. According …

Jillian Dempsey for Avon Cosmetics

Avon Products, Inc., has announced a collaboration with celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, a beauty industry icon and the wife of Grey’s Anatomy hearthrob Patrick Dempsey and is now working to rebrand Avon and its flagship color brand. Jillian Dempsey has been the creative brains, founder and owner of now defunct Delux cosmetics that made Allure magazine name Delux Beauty Lip Gloss as the “Best Lip Gloss” in their Editors’ Choice Awards. Why a prestigious cosmetic brand decided to switch to the masses is beyond me.

“Avon was the only beauty …

Freeway celebrates Philippine Arts

If you have not heard of the fiasco that the National Artists of the Philippines had against our President Arroyo for putting labels on her “cohorts” as THE SUPPOSEDLY hailed artists of the Philippines, then perhaps we should give props to Freeway for advocating Philippine national artists this season. To show its support to past deserving recipients of the National Artist Award, Freeway will be showcasing its National Artist Collectors’ Series this fall. Such stylish advocacy, mind you.

Freeway introduces its new collection commemorating the National Artists of the Philippines. Freeway …

Soak Swimwear for Philippine beach fashion

I finally got my Soak. Thanks super!

This gold and pink cut-out maillot is made of a luxurious and sophisticated fabric that is just divine to your skin. The cut-out provides a peek-a-boo moment there, don’t you think?

I think you know why I had a hard time getting MY size that’s why instead of getting a two-piece bikini, I chose this one piece instead. Perfect for maximum coverage! Although I had a hard time trying to fit even just one top considering they hardly have L sizes, this one tops …

Gladiator Schus and cut-out booties

Apart from the romantic and feminine styles Schu normally produces, their July release made me sit-up and take notice. I’m hardly a fan of flat shoes but gladiator flats and cut-out sandals are too trendy to pass up!

“Schu has always been trendy and we have just upped the notch because we have not only 3 but 4 French & Italian designers now. Schu continues to cater to all women’s fashion needs, from fashion/weekend wear to classic/workwear so that when women think of shoes, it will only be schu that comes …

Save Earth by recycled and reusable shopping bags

Hi, Cebu! I apologize for the late posts but my baby has my laptop’s charger for breakfast and now I can’t go online at home. Just a friendly reminder to everyone – recycle and be eco-friendly with your shopping habit!

Photo of a Crocs and What a Girl Wants shopping bag

These eco-friendly reusable bags are made of recycled materials and I’ve noticed several shops already joining in the shopping wagon. Unfortunately, I, myself, am guilty of massive overconsumption of plastic bags because I collect them! Gasp. If you happen …

More Havaianas Filipinas for Havaianaticos

The limited edition pairs of Havaianas Flip flops are specially designed and produced for the Philippines. Would Havaianaticos be ecstatic to know that they are still in stock since their release last June 12, 2009?

Just because the month of Philippine Independence is already over doesn’t mean we no longer have reasons to celebrate Filipino pride!

“The previous limited edition Havaianas Filipinas collection was in stores last 2006, and quickly found its way to the soles of proud and fashionable Filipinos. Since then, Havaianaticos have been on the look-out for the …
