The Rockin Burger in Town | BROCKS BURGER

When it comes to comfort food, very few options surpass the good old hamburger. It's one of the go-to foods that we can always keep on hand to satisfy our primal food cravings. Burger is a  sandwich that has become such an essential part of human culture ever since it was discovered. People became insane with burgers and have been on a burger quest since then. The competition for the best burger has gone mad. Some burgers are gourmet and piled high with toppings, whereas others are thinner, simpler, wrapped in paper, steamy and sloppy. 

Raise your hands up in the air and scream. The burger that will rock the town with the loudest taste of beef from intro up to bridge is now serving. 

The Flare Game| ‘70s Trend With Ease

Skinnies, take a seat. 

Love, Flare!

Skinny jeans move back. Please give way to the unsung hero of the denim world. For the last few years denim world has been dominated of skinny silhouettes. Skinny jeans have stayed on top for so long. I never thought I'd see so many stylish women abandoning their skinny jeans to embrace the wide-leg, the bell-bottom, and the kick-flare for the last season. Yes! Yes! Flares are back from the seventies with a vengeance. Flares emerged out of their cave of uncoolness to make a stand once again, trouncing down the runways and on the streets on the legs of editors, bloggers and street style stars.

If you're a skinny-leg loyalist, if you've put Flares in a no-go zone because you think they'll be unflattering or hard to pull of, let me explain: bells help elongate your stems, especially with higher waists and platforms, so you'll look extra lean. The ultimate leg-lengthener. It balance hips and flatters every figure. 

But of course some styling tricks are required: You have to be aware of your waist. Don't pair it overly long tops and a heel, a pair of wedges or platform clogs really takes the leg-lengthening aspect to your height. Flared jeans is about dressing like you mean it. It's not about lazy dressing.

I'm skinny and petite (ever since!Boo!) so proportion is everything. I've seen slimming capabilities of flare jeans. It will make me look extra thin (though, I'm super thin already!haa!) and I don't want that. I added a a sleek striped crop top to create an illusion of a wider upper half.

From Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie to Local celebrities and tons of our favorite style bloggers, we found tons of flare-kick inspiration that will make you  switch things up and  put your skinny jeans to rest. 

 If your skinnies are made to blend in, flares are made to stand out.

So do yourself a favor and try flared jeans!

Dig Now, Strut Later! | Ukay is OK

I'm a notorious Ukay savvy and I'm proud of it. Ukay is OK! There's nothing wrong with it. When you do Ukay shopping it doesn’t mean you’re poor. I'm about to try and clear that up. Most people think only poor people (I don't mean to hurt anyone.) shop at Thrift Stores. Let me shake off the stigma in thrift shopping. Believe me when I tell you that only people with creative juices and has a true fashionista heart can shop and win at thrifty store. Remember: You can always look great for less if you have the "eye" and you're open minded. Your penny can't define your style.

Thrifting/Ukay-Ukay:

 It’s the most cost-effective way to get unique vintage clothing. It's like treasure hunting but with clothes and you have to pay for the treasure you found. You can have a chest full of clothes and good finds in just a small amount of money.

If you're a savvy shopper and a certified Ukayista. Be proud, your struggles and patience in digging unorganized bundles of clothes is  worth it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Dig now, strut the runway later.  Let your fine fashion set sail.

 Here’s proof that the struggle is worth it. I found this awesome shirt dress after digging through dress section for a million years. It looks so cool, modern, wearable, I love it! And it was only P180 (haggled to P100), sweet victory!

 A shirt dress is a style of dress that borrows details from a man's shirt.This classic piece is now back to the forefront and my favorite part of it is that, it's a great combination of sexy and tomboy. It has the "I didn't spend 4 hours picking out my outfit "  look (Boyfie will throw a party!haha) and the "Hey, I still look sexy and fab".

The Ultimate trans-seasonal look, I added a flair to the staple low-key linen shirt dress and a pair of heels uniform with a ripped and tattered jeans.This combo reflects my desire to look cool without being over-dressed or exaggerated. A dress will always and forever be the one piece wonder. Never wear your dress the same way again.

Little Shoulders to Bare

How is summer over already? It flew by warp-speed style and I’m sad to put long days by the beach wearing bikinis and endless road trips behind. It pains me to see summer slip away. But it pains me more to think that  rainy season is here already.
