On the course of staying true to my super frugal yet fashion-forward self, I've decided to introduce "SPLURGE vs STEAL" write-ups here on the blog. Some of my favorite segments in magazines are always "look for less" or "steal that style" spreads-- I've always loved and appreciated how some editors make the effort to have style be accessible somehow for those of us...
The entire city is very much abuzz (the hundreds upon hundreds of stylish guys to be exact!) with the arrival of Topshop's equally stylish brother Topman here in Cebu! The boys I personally know have been clamoring to have Topman here for awhile now, so this couldn't come as a more pleasant surprise! For the first time outside Manila, Robinsons Retail brought Topman...
Back when I started my blog in mid-2009, good online fashion stores were few and far between, and money was very, very scarce. With very few options and with little to no money to burn, I resorted to two of my favorite things: doing fashion DIYS and thrifting. I did fun experiments such as a DIY knee-high boot spats, body harnesses, and more. Eventually I...
Hey, guys! Sorry if I haven't been able to update for the past few days-- the busy holiday season is seriously kicking in and there's many, many things to do and family/company gatherings to attend. I wish I can split myself in half these days! :( And don't even get me started on the insane amount of traffic we're dealing with ... I...

Bo's Coffee Founder and CEO Steve Benitez is a man of passion. After opening the first Bo's Coffee branch 18 years ago as a small start-up business, and fast forward to now where he has over 58 stores and counting, he's still very much driven by his love for coffee that inspires. After traveling the world and encountering many coffee cultures abroad, Steve...
Lord knows I would love me some serious outlet store shopping. I stalk all the biggest outlets abroad online, such as Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Ross, and similar other stores, drooling over their HUGE discounts and pretty items-- unfortunately, Cebu's been waiting for quite a long time for a real-deal outlet store. By definition, outlets offer huge markdowns compared to other retail prices because...
December is the time where we are somewhat allowed to treat ourselves a bit for all the work we did the whole year. Aside from a bit of occasional shopping, some well-deserved skin pampering time is on most of our wishlists-- and if we can definitely foot the bill all the time, wouldn't we all love to go back frequently? This holiday season,...
After repeatedly kicking myself in the groin for missing out on BU5, I'm happy to confirm my attendance this time around for Bloggers United 6!

Just super honored to be...
