Who needs fancy backdrops if you’re wearing a dress as beautiful as this? With lace sewn all over my tulle dress, I’ve got all the drama I need. I’m actually pleasantly surprised at how much lace is on this dress, not to mention good quality lace. As a consumer, it feels like I hit the jackpot. I mean, ...

Good food is always one of my top priorities whenever I travel, so on my last day in Tokyo, I made sure to add another restaurant in my growing list of Japan “musts”.

As many of you may already know, I just recently visited Tokyo upon the invitation of Google Japan and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). I, along with Laureen and Tricia, were the Philippine representatives or ambassadors of METI’s special project called Cool Japan. This project is a government-funded initiative that aims to ...

Leave it up to Style Staple to create the sexiest ensembles. Here’s another one from their new collection–a simple cropped top and skirt that are sold as a set. As usual, they fit me like a glove. This is why I love wearing Style Staple. The designer, Arvie, knows my body so well. And she ...
