You could call it great branding, I’m calling it a salute to what’s brought the bread home to the family.

Stumbled across this awesome vid that got me excited to go home for some homework:

Step 1: Grab an oversized button-down shirt from my closet. (Or borrow one from Daddy or the boyfriend.)

Step 2: Do as the girl in the video!

Isn’t it so awesome?! Can’t wait to try this later!

Mich asked me to share the good news with all you fashion-hungry folks who’d like to get a piece or two or more of her work. Hop on down to Cubao X on Friday or Saturday and you can shop ’til late in the evening too! She did leave a note on her Facebook page advising you all to come early to get first pick.

Mich is based in London half the year so it’s nice to have her home for the Holidays and with a special treat to boot!

Coach has just released its latest fragrance, Poppy Flower, a light fruity floral that’s got a romantic and whimsical feel. (Read more about it here >>)

To give you a better feel for what the experience of this scent is like, we’ve invited six bloggers to interpret it in a special Blogger Challenge Poll. Together with a friend, they’ve put together outfits inspired by the fragrance, bottle design, and ad materials and we’d like you guys to tell us which of the looks is your favorite. The duo that gets the most votes will be well on their way to winning a Coach Poppy bag and a bottle of Coach Poppy Flower as votes will make up 10% of their total scores!

Look out for the outfits of Kryz Uy and Gillian Uang, Aisa Ipac and Sarah Tirona, Dominique Tiu and Cris Si, Danika Navarro and Nicole Ramos, Lana and Tanya Tiotuyco, as well as Lissa Kahayon and Zarah Lasac. We’ll be putting up the Poll section today and we’d love to hear from you. Maybe you can also post your interpretation of the scent in My Style!

Yours,

Isha.

Last night was the launch of Rajo! for Parisian, Rajo Laurel designed a capsule (and very limited) collection with SM Parisian. After a short fashion show of models wearing sheer bodysuits and his amazing shoes, there was a big shopping party! Saying that the girls went crazy is probably an understatement!

Anyway, we all split up in twos and decided on which pair to take home, we all ended up getting the same pair of Rajo’s gorgeous pumps with garter straps, but in different colors. Well, almost! Heehee.

And the best part is, we all wore it today! Check it out!

Isha, Jae and I chose to pair it with brown and black separates!

Nikki, Reggie and Janey opted to pair it with prints and jewel tones!

Rajo! for Parisian will be available starting this weekend! Only 200 pairs per style spread out to seven SM branches!

The Guess Spring/Summer 2012 show at Philippine Fashion Week got us all reminiscing about certain qualities that all the past faces of the brand (from Anna Nicole-Smith to Paris Hilton to Drew Barrymore) have all nailed down to a tee. Because we all have the need to release our inner vixen once in a while, we give you the top 5 ways to get to bombshell status:

1. Show a generous helping of chest. For the ungifted, its time to whip out that push-up. Whether you prefer to casually spill out of a bustier or leave some buttons strategically unfastened, the Guess girl always knows how to draw attention to her best assets.

2. Tease, curl and spray—the hottest girls always have the sexiest big curls. The higher the better, the messier the better. You want to look like you just rolled out of bed looking that hot.

3. Make leopard your print of choice. Nothing says rawr like, well, a cat. So take cue from the felines by sporting their skin.

4. Keep your lips in an eternal pout. Bombshells always know how to look like they just exhaled, exasperated at just how hard it is it to be born looking that good. Which leads us to…

5. Wear red lipstick, like everyday. Afternoon brunch? Yes. Paying the bills? Go for it. Walking the dog? Is that even a question?? A bombshell has to have it going on, all the time.

So ladies, ’tis the season to unleash your inner Guess girl and flaunt those assets. View the entire PFW gallery to gain more valueable tips.

Last season, designer Chris Diaz gave us a Wilgefortis-inspired collection with both futuristic and medieval motifs, which culminated in a golden and bearded Marina. This summer, it seems like he’s going primal and tribal, as seen in the following teaser for his Spring/Summer 2012 collection (launching in Philippine Fashion Week on October 27):

Liking the hints of earthy and almost pagan themes. Can’t wait to see what Chris has in store for us!

As I was browsing through ELLE Singapore last night, my heart skipped when I saw a familiar name pop out of the pages. (We all know its exciting to spot Filipino talent featured in international glossies!)

Janina Dizon-Hoschka‘s Tatjana clutch was featured in the magazine and is now available in Singapore! Great and exciting news! (You can spot the very same purses at James Reyes’ Fashion Watch Summer 2012 show here >>)

Congratulations from the Style Bible team!

Photos from the Spring-Summer 2012 fashion shows have been pouring into the web and while browsing through Balmain, I couldn’t help but think that I’d seen a certain combination before.

Pauline Juan had us buzzing with her glossy take on a casual denim shirt at the Topshop x Preview party last July.

How’s that for being ahead of the pack?
