::MiSs Me?::.

After months of hiatus from my blogging, I'm off with my itchy fingers once again to get scoops that are appealing to the senses.

Standby.
Watch out.
Stare...
...but don't envy.

Miss me? :P

Personal Style: Earvin Aquino

Me and my labor day outfit.


With the present weather condition here in the Philippines, it is too risky to hit the beach, given that it is already a peak season to get wet. People get wet nowadays in two ways, either from perspiration or from unpredictable rain showers. Argh.

These are just one of those times when you can go out in shorts and jacket, paired with a pair of big sunglasses and sneakers... The get up is cool, comfy, and ready. By the way, I wore a sleeveless shirt underneath my jacket *wink*

Courage Rich To Wear Herchcovich

I have to admit that I am no expert in the rules, stitches, and weaves of fashion but I'm a learner ;) And with my learning, Alexandre Herchcovich is already a familiar name. However, the name that I have heard about comes with a style, a sense of fashion that is both familiar and peculiar.

In the latest collection of Alexandre Herchcovich, I believe one needs to have the guts and to be really courage-rich or else, the whole thing will not work. Though yeah, same thing goes for all fashions.

Check out these 2009 Spring/ Summer looks from Alexandre Herchcovich.

Key elements of the style:

1.) Bold colors

2.) Prints

3.) Structure

4.) Male fashion afficionado

Yay or Nay? (Comment Poll)

Just browsed through Yahoo's OMG section and spotted this photo of one of America's sweethearts, Drew Barrymore. The section was, "What Were They Thinking?!"

Sometimes, I disagree with the reviewer, however, I don't want to feel that I'm the only sour cherry. So, what do you think?

Yay or Nay?

Wind In The Hair

The wind in the hair effect is an infectious look applicable to both runway and print. Embodying this kind of style would definitely take effect if your hair obviously participates.

Being in a country where there are only two seasons applicable (summer and rainy), it is quite hard to keep up with a style that would suit one's personality and bring edge to something normal. However, with all efforts of research and the availability of materials, thanks to our western friends (wink), choosing hairstyles for a hot season can always be as fun as making lemonade with so much ice.

Here are some hairstyles that I myself have handpicked.
Personal thought with these looks: Often do bangs accentuate the beauty of the eyes, however, during a hot season, you can keep the bangs and let it fly up, or better keep it rather short and clean to clear the face ;)

Think it works for you? Try it! ;)

Look! No Make Up!

How many are just down right crazy over make up lines in the market today, just to achieve that clean fresh look? Celebrities can be exempted from this habit as their looks mark as their biggest investment in the industry. However, the April 2009 issue of French Elle Magazine turn things around and exposes real beauty without the make up.

How did they showcase this brave attempt? By simple picking out celebrities and putting them on the cover... and yes, with no make up on ;)

Monica Bellucci (44 years old), Actress

Sophie Marceau (42 years old), Actress

Eva Herzigova (36 years old), Model

So, are you ready for your close up?

A Serene Getaway

The sun is up and everyone seems to be in the mood for a tan. As the Philippines has been known for its island beaches like the ever famous Boracay, there are still other unchartered getaways waiting to be discovered.

Somewhere in the North, particularly in Bataan, a serene location perfect for the family and the gang awaits. Playa La Caleta is the perfect spot for those who want to get some tanlines or perhaps just waddle in the water.

Tour to Playa La Caleta comes in different packages. A tour price of Php1,100* covers boat transfer from Balanga, Bataan to the island and vice versa, overnight accomodation and food for the entire overnight stay.

The other package which costs Php2,100* includes an air-conditioned room accommodation, boat transfers, food for the entire overnight stay, plus an extra-Playa La Caleta massage. Both packages exclude land transportation transfer, which is about Php120* if you're taking a bus from Five Star terminal in Cubao going to Balanga, Bataan, and private van rental, which costs Php150* from Balanga going to the boat area.
