The Style Bible Trunk Show

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Finally, our first-ever Trunk Show is actually happening this Saturday at the Columbus room of the Discovery Suites. (Click here for more details.) 9:00am to 4:00pm stop by and shop, shop, shop!

So i was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the goods. Here’s what I’m excited to see up close and personal:

The Bags

Tiramisu‘s heart purse.

The Aranaz petal clutch. Love!

An earthy, tribal print hobo from Cathy.

The Clothes

Moonshine

Moonshine‘s bustier dresses.

I love looking at them. I’ve been seeing bustiers and sweetheart necklines around too.

Divine Lee at the Folded & Hung Streetcast Act 2 show.

Amanda Griffin-Jacob at the Rajo Red! Gala.

Tina Arguelles at the U-Boat Launch.

Dia Lacaba at the Shu Uemura boutique opening.

I’m still deciding if I can pull it off. Only way to find out is to try it on, I guess.

Charina Sarte

Charina Sarte‘s slippery(-looking) silver dress.

It makes me think of the tulle Lanvin dress that Natalie Portman wore to the Oscars in 2003.

Only the Lanvin is made in a soft, princess-y tulle and Charina’s is all slick and updated for today. (It’s also got her stamp of sexiness all over it.)

Rajo Laurel

I’ve been in love with this sequined frock ever since I saw Sam Laurel wearing the black version of this dress at Rajo’s Grey Goose Party. It really hit’s my 20s sweet spot.

I like this little brocade short suit as well. Cute! Especially with the right pair of flats. Maybe the Steve Madden ones I’ve been eyeing, just to keep it all understated.

Though I’m still of the mind-set that brocade looks beautiful embellished with jewels. Flats similar to these from Prada‘s S/S 2003 collection (probably one of my favorite collections by the designer, EVER!) should compliment Rajo’s light suit nicely.

Molako

This mini-dress looks like a cool vintage piece that you can get minus the actual effort of having to thrift.

Note: If you’re a fan of www.seaofshoes.com.

I especially liked Molako‘s leggings with its leather-like, latex-y sheen.

I’m so behind on the whole leggings thing. I tend to get rebellious and resistant when everyone’s wearing something. I actually got my first recent pair (since the ones I had in the late 80s and early 90s) around July this year.

These are pretty cool though. Now I’m going through major leggings-envy.

Eunice has a pair.

Raya has a pair. (photo from her Chictopia Blog)

Natalia Vodianova has a pair! (photo from www.my.opera.com) Though this was actually taken a while back.

See! So lag! I still love the look though.

The Accessories

I love these new necklaces by Happy David. They’re dressy but they’d also look great with a simple, gray tee (which I’ll probably wear on lazy days with my new latex-y leggings!).

Anyhow, this is just a glance over what’s in store for Saturday so I do hope you all come by to shop with us. The first 100 shoppers get free (reusable) shopping bags from Style Bible and free perfume samples too!

Come and shop! See you there!

Style Wars

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

There’s a bit of a voting frenzy for this week’s Style Star nominees and I’m enjoying every minute of it. Two camps are battling it out. It’s nice to see how much support the girls are getting.

For those of you who don’t know, you can vote for your favorite as many times as you like (to ensure victory of course). The system tallies the total number of votes, not the number of unique votes. It’s a bit of a glitch and does mar the integrity of the voting process a tad, but hey, it’s fun.

This week’s winner will receive a special gift check from Coca-Cola Light, just like last week’s winner Kathy Valenzuela.

Keep those votes coming!

COMING SOON…STILL

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

September 20, 2008

To all of you who were raring to celebrate Coke Light’s formal launch of Style Bible, believe me when I say we share in your disappointment at having to postpone. Let’s call it following in the fashionable footsteps of our big sister, Preview magazine, whose Best-Dressed Ball 2008 was also postponed under similar circumstances.

This is not to say that Style Bible’s coming out party is an official no-go. The party’s still on, so stay tuned.

Meanwhile, it’s been a great two weeks of being publicly online for all of you and we hope you keep coming back as we’ve truckloads of shopping tips and juicy news to share.
