Pringle of Scotland

I have always associated Pringle of Scotland with golf and argyle sweaters. You know, something a daddy or lolo would wear on a weekend, while hitting the greens at St. Andrews.

But when you put a young and talented designer such as Clare Waight Keller at the helm of a "historical" company, you'll be be taken by surprise faster than you can say FORE!









Take a bow Clare!

Don't you just love it when the designer looks just as great in her own design?

Just Cavalli

I am no Cavalli glamazon but I can pick out a piece or 2 from his collection that I can say appeals to me:

The animal print dress
The ruffled shrug
The not-so-plain black top
The purple gloves against a sea of black
The swingy coat

Kikay Mints

I found the most fabulous, most kikay mints in the world! I was on a random errand at Watsons with my friend Carissa when we stumbled upon Little i mints - that are just so cute and so prettily packaged that between Carissa and I, we spent over a thousand pesos on mints alone! We got it as small Valentine’s Day tokens for ourselves, our sisters and moms. It was a teeny tiny present but they absolutely loved it!

This “original sleek, sexy, mirrored tin” are premium sugar-free breath mints made in Canada. For those diet divas, not to worry, as these are sweetened with Splenda. According to the company website “This trendy treat and fashion accessory launched Little i Confections worldwide. The patented tin slides open to reveal a handy little mirror-perfect for lip gloss, teeth and makeup checks. Pop a sugar-free mint and sneak a peek without anyone suspecting. In seconds flat, you’re home free with fresh breath and a sexy smile.”

There are various products to choose from, but its the Personality line that are just so fun! With labels like Cute, Hottie, Flirt, Spoiled Rotten, and High Maintenance to choose from, all you girls out there can instantly make a statement with mints alone!

For the cute and perky girl-next-door type who's got every boy in the village staring at her with puppy dog eyes
For the smoldering siren, "Keep your breath kissably fresh morning, noon, and all night long!"
A chick's secret weapon: "Reapply your lip gloss on the sly, because every flirt needs to practice her tease now and then!"
"For fashionistas, princesses, princess-wannabes and anyone else who requires extra attention!" (There must be a lot of this breed out there - High Maintenance is Little i Confections´ top-selling Personality Series peppermint)
For the pampered diva, or "those who have it all and still want more". With the flash of this mint, "let all your boyfriends know how you deserve to be treated, especially on first dates!"

Little i confections are sold in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo, Milan, Hong Kong, Sydney and other major cities around the world. The patented Mirror Mints are available through Sephora, La Senza, La Grande Epicerie of Paris, Harrod’s, Harvey Nichols, Bath & Body Works, Kitson, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Fred Segal, Caesar’s Palace, Wynn Las Vegas, Hallmark stores, Border’s Books and many other fine retailers.

Priced at Php99 per tin, its a bit pricey for breath mints, but a small price to pay for a multi-tasking mint that doubles as a fun accessory!

Giorgio Armani

As usual, elegant and well-cut clothes paraded down the Armani runway. I'm thinking these are the sort of clothes I will wear when I get to my 40s.

D&G

When my Tita Beth got me a Dolce & Gabbana quarter sleeved, button down shirt as pasalubong, you can expect it was nothing close to corporate dressing.

But I wore it to work anyway. We had a MANCOM meeting (that's management committee meeting) that day. You know, discussing serious stuff. But the Operations and F&B managers couldn't help but ask me if I was going to Hawaii. Because it was a bright green shirt with big red and orange flowers! Mwahahaha!

Actually, I thought it was really pretty, and I would have worn it even if it wasn't a Dolce & Gabbana. Ignorant fools! Bright green color and big, bright flowers aside, it was an outrageous but surprisingly classy piece of work. It has been in my closet for 7 years and it still is timeless. I always like wearing it with jeans, a gold belt and my dark green and gold sequined sandals from Schu. I feel very D&G wearing it that way...

For Fall 2007 the D&G duo still has "in your face" but glamorous articles of clothing that you can resurrect from your closet when you feel like taking a walk on the wild side.
