Focus on Dean and Trent

Classy tone to the ear eh? "Dead & Trent" but believe your balls, it's LOKAL! Kudos to you local designers, we have yet another proud fashion house on the rise. Pret-a-Porte is definitely easier to manage with cheaper yet eye-candy.

O.M.F.G! Check out their affordable PRICES! You are going to thank me for this gift sent from heaven. I lorrrvvveeeee Dean & Trent. (I'm not into cheap S.M type of prices but these are just too Chic to be called Value-Buys)

Local Thrills

Gucci Prada Louis Vuitton: these are European Brands available in the Philippines to name a few. But if you're bound to the Philippine Peso salary, and in need of some high fashion, Euro prices just won't turn a frown upside down.

But hey, who says you can't look good and wear localistas?! Not me.

Here ya go, a list of my favorite local designers/department stores which will fit your PHP Pockets perfectly.

Adora

Don't be fooled, this high-end department store is proud to carry European Brands like D&G, Missoni, Dior Homme, but they have somewhat affordable brands like Jaspar and Tyler.

Tip: Look around this HUGE department store and you'll surely find clothes which will fit your body and your pocket. Trust me, if you find those P15,000 D&G T-Shirts expensive, then you'll surely go for something less, like P2,500 Long sleeves from Tyler.

Strong Points: Large variety of clothing, Kick-ass employee standards, in-house coffee shop, one-stop shop AND cute paper bags.


Adora Prices range from P1,000 (Round-Neck T-Shirts), P2,000 (Cotton Long-Sleeves) until P15,000 (European Designer Clothing)

Visit www.adora.ph for more information

Adora Store Address
Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center
Makati City PHILIPPINES





Tyler

This locally based Fashion House caters to the upper society look, leaving out the simple T-Shirt and Jeans for a more attractive and fashion forward alternative. Silhouettes and fit: their ultimate fashion advantage. From Casual Chic to Corporate Power Dressing, this brand is exclusive and eye catching. Another remarkable fingerprint of Tyler's: their innovative look to their clothing collections.

Look At This!

Fall is around the corner and we have to be prepared. Wherever you may be, Fall means Cold Winds and Rain Showers (given you're located in a tropical island). Preparations Preparations, FUN.

Here are some essentials for Fall 2008.

A MUST: The recently resurrected button-down cardigan. I love playing with different colors using these cardigans.

I just love cold weather. As I write, the weather outside is a waft of London's eternal rainfall. Trench Coat inside the house anyone? Loves IT.
