I really wanted to blog about my brand new Melissa pairs earlier. I got them for such a steal! But the busyness of December got to me, and before I knew it, the sale on AVA.ph was almost over. A...

I know I have pretty hair. This isn't time for false modesty. My hair is naturally wavy-curly (and apparently quite shiny), with big, loose curls at the ends, the kind you manage after sweating ove...

We dropped by adidas last week to buy a new pair of basketball shoes for my little brother. It was the first time that I inspected a pair of basketball shoes closely, and realized the difference in de...

I haven't been styling on my own for other people lately like non-commercial, non-TV or non-fashion show work. But I think I lucked out when I decided to take on a pre-nup shoot for the Talagtags....
