Since most of us are looking for beauty on a budget, I think it’s a good time to post entries about achieving celebrities’ fashion – for less.
Jennifer Aniston in Stuart Weitzman
Cheaper Alternative:
1. Plain Gray Shirt (P150), 2. White Shorts (P250), 3. Boyish Belt (P200) – Landmark
4. Fedora Hat (about P1150) – Topshop
5. Bracelet (P389) – Crossings
6. Wedge Sandals (P2999) – Schu
7. Vintage Necklaces – Cubao X
Blake Lively in Chanel
Cheaper Alternative:
1. Plain White Tunic (P250) – Landmark
2. Scarf (about P490) – Dorothy Perkins
3. Hobo Bag – Le Donne, Robinsons Department Store
4. Metallic Bangles (P49) – Landmark
5. Glitter Flipflops – Flojos, Trinoma
It’s not that I support the idea of “copying” but my point is, brand name isn’t important as long as you have the keen eye when shopping, and of course be practical. You might even find cheaper items than what were mentioned above.

Hi Leyn,
Hope you can help me with my fashion dilemma. I’m 22 years old working for a multinational firm and I find it hard to mix and match clothes to look not so corporate yet not too casual. I also want to ask advice from you on a new hairdo/hair color that is easy to manage and maintain. I’m 5′3, 47 kgs and morena. Btw, I’m working on a budget 
Thanks and more power!
Hi!
If you’re really determined to organize your office attire closet, allot a weekend to classify your things: which of your clothes should be kept for a while and clothes that you can still use at present. Having several garments in your cabinet can just give you difficulties in mixing and matching. So keep aside the outdated stuffs, arrange some of the in trend pieces and shop for necessary ensembles…

Last week was the only chance I got to visit the eco-bags store in Makati. These totes were designed by local fashion designers in support to Ayala’s Greenology Campaign.
Philippe surprised with a roomy Barba bag and Jed holding a Calica-Soto.
It’s 400 per piece available at Glorietta 3 / Greenbelt. Not bad at all.

Hey everyone,
I just changed my layout to a clean and simpler theme since I usually focus on contents. I apologize for the late email replies and now I’m back answering them. Please bear with some broken links since I still need to polish the layout.
Also, let me take this opportunity to give support:
My Vote for the 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Award (National)
I vote for Nursecissism
Bloggers’ Choice Award
2009 Philippine Blog Awards
She’s one inspiring blogger and I believe she has been helping other people through her entries and personal advices. I’m not a fan of bloggers who put up sites just for popularity, ego boosting and money; so my vote goes to her. Same goes with Derpinsel and Greenpinoy for the other categories.
So guys, if you love me, please support them too. Again, keep safe everyone.
Love Lots,
Leyn

I never denied that I religiously watch Tayong Dalawa despite of its heavy drama, never-ending deaths and Jake/Gerald’s bad acting. Nagbubukas lang yata ako ng tv kapag 9:00 na ng gabi. Kaya ‘wag na kayong magpa-macho at pasosyal dahil alam kong nanonood ka rin nito; at wag mo nang idahilan na pinapanood kasi ng nanay mo. Sa pagtatapos ng Tayong Dalawa, ay talagang naging hit ito sa internet lalo na sa Trending Topic ng Twitter. Naawa tuloy ako sa mga foreigner dahil na-OP sila…
Hahaha! Sorry Grey’s Anatomy! LOL!
(P.S. ang labo ng ending. Sumulpot si Enchong Dee at naging “Tayong Tatlo” na… prequel nga yata ito ng “Tayong Lahat”. Hahaha.)
*EDITED:
Speaking of Tayong Dalawa, here’s a picture of Gerald Anderson swimming in the flood to save his neighbors…
Tiagong Akyat turns to Tiagong Langoy! Huhmeyzing!
Oh well, I know everyone’s in grief right now because of Ondoy but I’d like to take this opportunity to ask my readers to help through our little ways. Let’s donate! Text RED (space) AMOUNT send to 2899(Globe)/4483(Smart). Denominations 10, 50, 100.
Keep safe everyone, and much love. – L

Random question of the day…
Ba’t ba sila nakatingin dun???

Step aside, polyvore! ‘coz here comes looklet!
Since everyone’s talking about it, might as well create my fashion sets. Although, I noticed that people who have been using this app are too preoccupied with their personal styles. So for a change, I created sets inspired by our local street fashion…
Ayala Makati Girl
Classic Emo
The Quiapo Vendor
Cosplayer
(Kahit walang cosplay event, some teenagers dress up like this. Marami neto sa mall.)
The Carlo J Caparas Look
Ahahaha. This website wasted 2 hours of my time. I just hope they’ll also have an option for guys. Try it yourself.

Dear Sosyalera,
If you’re going to look inside my closet, majority of my bottoms would probably be composed of JEANS. I’m comfy with jeans but I basically have troubles when pairing shoes with it. I’m just tired of using flats and slippers. I do know that when you wear jeans, it’s much better when you’re in heels but I just don’t know which style to choose. What can you probably suggest?
THANKS! 
- Steppy
Dear Steppy ,
Jeans are comfort clothing so most of us pair them with our cosy flipflops. This fashion is very casual and laid back. I really admire girls who can manage to look stylish with jeans and don’t just stick with the usual pantalon porma.
Since you’ve decided to wear heels instead of the comfy flats, the next step is to choose for the right pair. If you want to reuse some of your (or your mom’s) stuffs, you might find these classic styles that don’t go out of date.

Who says bibs are just for babies?
Wenk, I didn’t mean something like that. But like this!
Fashion-wise, bibs are for grown ups too! Bib Necklaces were already spotted on designer runways few months ago, and this accessory is now becoming a fad as seen worn by local fashion icons. You can just lay this fashion accessory ‘as is’ with the simplest looking clothes and taaadaaa!!! you will instantly look sophisticated.
As of now, I think this kind of necklace is available in shops that sell vintage looking baubles. Now I want ONE! Oo, literal na one lang. Mahal eh. Haha.
Added to my Christmas wishlist!
