FAR FROM BEING A FASHION EXPERT, I'M SIMPLY A STUDENT OF STYLE. If indeed style is "finding out who you are and who you want to be in the world," then I'm chronicling the discovery through my version of a Little Black Book. I hope this reaches Nina -- Thank you for inspiring me!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger237125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272238039933376723.post-65626780066712477022012-08-19T07:58:00.003-07:002012-10-21T07:07:53.703-07:00ORANGE SHOE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm enjoying Manila's affordable nail services again. (Yes, we're so back!) Had so much fun with my DIY phase. But with the nail spas so near (my office and our home), I'm back to enjoying professional care.<br />

A "Look for Less" Lady had always wondered if she'd be able to enter the world of clothes, make-up, shoes, and bags. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While enjoying her stint in the broadcast media (admittedly, another dream industry that she happilly ventured into), she always daydreamed about her other <em>kikay</em> interests.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So she put up a silly <a href="http://mylittleblackbookofstyle.blogspot.com/2010/05/be-my-own-muse.html">blog</a>, her Little Black Book of Style, as inspired by Nina Garcia's book. She enrolled in fashion <a href="http://mylittleblackbookofstyle.blogspot.com/2011/01/fashion-fantasy-comes-true.html">school</a> and make-up <a href="http://mylittleblackbookofstyle.blogspot.com/2011/08/vanity-sessions-by-joyce-ignacio.html">workshops</a>, just for fun. And exposed herself to more fashion magazines, books, blogs, films and TV shows. Every fashion experience, no matter how far-out and mundane, ended with "If only I could..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On a year when life proved "everything is possible," with no professional background in the retail world, she finally gave it a shot. Arrmed only with her passion for fashion, she applied for a Junior Management position in one of the country's richest men's Group of Companies, and got hired for a Senior Management role!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">A winner find: a silver metal makeup case for SGD150 (around Php5250)!</span><br />

An online store sells this or something that looks so much like it for USD275 (almost Php12,000), comes with make-up and tools, see <a href="http://www.redgingercosmetics.com/pd-professional-makeup.cfm">redgingercosmetics</a>. I saw a similar case being sold in SM Megamall for Php14,000, with makeup and brushes too. According to the salesperson, the case costs Php7,500, but they don't sell it separately.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have existing makeup and brushes so Sephora's empty case is perfect for me. Happier because it's cheaper than the online and the SM prices. Yey!</div>

Compared to the <a href="http://mylittleblackbookofstyle.blogspot.com/2011/11/111711-versace-for-h.html">Versace</a> for H&M collection last November 2011, I think<i> hindi gaanong pinagkaguluhan itong</i> Marni here in Singapore.

At age 8 (that's when I finally got my own space), I'd re-arrange my bedroom so that it'd look like a dress shop. Everything on my dresser and cabinets were for sale. I was the owner, sales lady, and cashier. I had imaginary customers. Business was always doing well. Haha!</div>

I needed a trim. And I wanted to experience using these "cheap" haircut machines. I've been seeing them all around Singapore. So I took the chance one weekend.<br />
<br />
I went to the neighborhood mall, placed SGD10 (around Php350) on the machine, got my ticket and waited for my turn. When my number finally appeared on the marquee, I handed my ticket to a lady. She showed me to my seat. And asked, in Singlish, what I wanted. I said, "Just a trim. Around two inches off..." Then she started cutting. No shampoo service. I panicked, "How will she know if<i> pantay kung hindi basa </i>hair<i> ko?!"<b> </b></i> But I didn't dare complain. <i>Natakot ako sa gunting.</i> Lol.<br />
<br />
My thought balloon the entire time, "If you wanted pampering, you should have gone to the 'starts at SGD100' salons." So I sat quietly throughout the cut, trying to be optimistic, "<i>Baka ganun sila kagaling? Hindi na kailangan mag-shampoo or basain ang hair."</i><br />
<br />
After the cut, straight <i>lang naman</i>, another surprise -- no blow drying too! Good thing I just asked for a basic trim. No hair styling required. But to this day I wonder, <i>"Pantay ba? Parang hindi..."</i><br />
<br />
<i>Ganun ba talaga ang</i> SGD10 haircut? Or I can get better service in other branches?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272238039933376723.post-22582485558648122062012-02-28T22:14:00.001-08:002012-02-29T00:33:43.550-08:00OSCARS 2012 BEST DRESSED<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Could my observation be correct? Singapore's most popular bags are the Longchamp Le Pliage (in all colors) and the Prada Antic Nappa Gauffre (and versions of it). Wanted to take photos, pero bawal, so eto na lang sina Victoria and Kate. Compared to Manila's mostly-LV <i>eksena</i>, here, Prada seems to be the favored designer label.</div>

<br />
Taylor Swift in Zuhair Murad. She's all gown up here. I love the details of the dress!<br />
<br />
Adele in Giorgio Armani. Yes, you can be glamorous at any size.<br />
<br />
Kelly Rowland in Alberto Ferretti. Pretty. A toned-down version of Halle Berry's iconic Elie Saab Oscars gown?<br />
<br />
Jessie J in Julien Macdonald. I'm not feeling this one. Disco ball-ish.<br />
<br />
Rihanna in Giorgio Armani. She was named Best Dressed by the Fashion Critics, as per RCFA. She looks perfect here.<br />
<br />
Katy Perry in Elie Saab. Blue hair, blue gown. Why not? I've always been a fan of Elie Saab. He so knows how to dress up women. And with such beautiful details!<br />
<br />
Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney. Fashion fantasy: to wear something like this one day soon. Love it!<br />
<br />
My Best Dressed: Torn between Rihanna and Gwyneth.<br />
<br />
Who's yours?<br />

This was definitely not "reductive." (Savor that biting soundbite from Madge <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/madonna-lady-gaga-reductive-15353435">again</a>.)<br />

Madonna's fabulous costumes for the Super Bowl Half Time Show were by Givenchy Couture. Sketches and stills below. <i>Reynang-reyna lang!</i><br />

On the Today Show, I remember Jason saying the collection is inspired by "the American Girl in Paris." Very French new wave cinema. And the best thing about them - most items are priced below USD60. True?<br />
<br />
Now how do you say "Lovely!" in French? Joli!<br />
<br />

PS<br />
As we all know Jason Wu's popularity zoomed after Michelle Obama wore his creation to the Inaugural Ball, January 2009.<br />

I've tried learning from the online tutorials (ang galing nila sa tools!), considered digital perm (but my hair is still not healthy and long enough), and tried other DIY, chemical-free techniques (braiding, cut-off sock buns - have you seen those online?). My observation: Practice makes perfect. Pero iba talaga ang kamay ng pro. The irony: touch-ups are necessary for this supposed effortless look (high maintenance pala!). </div>
