Most of us will think..

Are most of them are into plastic surgery?

When you hear of plastic surgery, what do you think of? A Hollywood star trying to delay the effects of aging? People who want to change the size of their stomachs, breasts, or other body parts because they see it done so easily on TV?

Just because the name includes the word "plastic" doesn't mean patients who have this surgery end up with a face full of fake stuff. The name isn't taken from the synthetic substance but from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives the material plastic its name as well).

Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can involve both a person's appearance and ability to function. Plastic surgeons strive to improve patients' appearance and self-image through both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

But Most of them are into cosmetic surgery to improve their assets....

Cosmetic (also called aesthetic) procedures alter a part of the body that the person is not satisfied with. Common cosmetic procedures include making the breasts larger (augmentation mammoplasty) or smaller (reduction mammoplasty), reshaping the nose (rhinoplasty), and removing pockets of fat from specific spots on the body (liposuction). Some cosmetic procedures aren't even surgical in the way that most people think of surgery — that is, cutting and stitching. For example, the use of special lasers to remove unwanted hair and sanding skin to improve severe scarring are two such treatments.

A Pallete of Style Books

2009-04-17T22:53:00.000-07:00

We've been diving into our favorite book shop or magazine shop just to get any book or magazine that would help us with our everyday fashion lives...it's also hard to find a book that has huge and complete content on it.

Here are some fashion books that would complete our day and would answer our questions with regards to fashion and style.

The Way We Wore: Black Style Then by Micheal McCollom (Glitterati Inc.). The clothes, the hair, the attitude and all fabulousness that make us timeless architechs of style are wonderfully captured in this photographic retrospective. The fact that only a few of the photos were taken by professional photographer enriches the collection with an unposed and rehearsed authencity.-YKL

Effortless Style by June Ambrose with Richard Buskin (Sion Spotlight Entertainment). Do you want to step onto your very own red carpet every single day? Ambrose, style maven extraordinaire, equips you with the essential knowledge you need to live a fashionista's fabulous life. According to Ambrose, the most important ingredient is self-confidence, not a closet chock-full of designer names.-YKL

While style is about how you look, it's not just the right shoes, or the perfect necktie. It's also how you live. Of course, if you've glanced at Micheal Henry Adam's Style and Grace: African Americans at Home (Bulfinch Press), we're preaching to the choir. Style and Grace not only reintroduces us to some of black American's greatest minds, it also shows us stunning images of their homes-often reflection of their tennant's brilliance-SW

The T-shirt can be worn anywhere! At least that's the philosophy behind T-shirt Makovers: 20 Transformations for Fabulous Fashions (Glitterati Inc.), a fun, new book authored by the clothing design duo known as Sistahs of Harlem (Carmina Marshall and Carmen Webber). Their book is a step-by-step guide that will teach you everything you need to know about how to turn regulat T-shirts into wearable masterpieces. Grab your scissors, ladies, because it's easier than you think.-ESS

Just How I picture It in My Mind: Contemporary African American Quilts from the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts by Mary Elizabeth Johnson Huff (River City Publishing) describes a unique collection of Southern-made quilts that range from the traditional patterns of stars and stripes to "story quilts" about Jackie Robinson and Elvis. Behind each of the 48 quilts featured in this book lies a story told in images, patterns and words, expressed by a group of African American quilters.-NG

How to be a Budget Fashionista: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Fabulous For Less (Ballantine Books) is a smart, fun book that teaches readers how to be conscietious consumers while still looking fabulous. Kathryn Finney's cost-cutting tips for spotting high-end on Ebay, consignment shops, outlet malls will help you look chic for cheap.

Fashion Trivia

2009-04-15T01:40:00.000-07:00

A Fashion Trivia: Imelda Marcos

How well do you know Imelda Marcos?

Aside from she's the first lady of the late philippine president Ferdinand Marcos, she's been tagged as one of the world's greediest person. She's also been famous for her shoe collection of over 2,500 shoes (as of this year). Here are some facts about the famous Imelda Marcos:

Date of Birth2 July 1929, Manila, Philippines
Birth NameImelda Remedios Visitacion Romualdez
NicknameThe Iron Butterfly Meldy

(picture source: mav-equalizer.blogspot.com)

Spouse
Ferdinand Marcos
(1 May 1954 - 29 September 1989) (his death) 3 children

Mother of three; Ferdinand Jr., a.k.a. "Bong Bong", born September 13, 1957; Imee, born November 12, 1955; and Irene, September 16, 1960. Also has an adopted daughter, Aimee.

When the Philippines hosted the 1974 Miss Universe Pageant, she had the whole City of Manila and Baguio City painted to welcome the visitors and candidates.

While serving as the First Lady of the Philippines, her major projects include the Cultural Center of the Philippines; Philippine Heart Center; Lung Center of the Philippines; Kidney Institute of the Philippines, Nayong Pilipino; Philippine International Convention Center; Folk Arts Theater; and the infamous Manila Film Center.

To this day, in popular media whenever the wife of a dictator is being depicted for the purposes of satire (be it in cartoons, sitcoms, etc.) a large collection of shoes appears to be a functional characteristic, in reference to Imelda.

In the Madam & Eve cartoon where South African President Thabo Mbeki is shopping for a second hand executive jet, the salesman introduces an aircraft owned a by 'a little old lady' - Imelda Marcos. The plane has a thousand pairs of shoes onboard.

As a Special Envoy of the Philippines, she was instrumental in the opening of Philippine diplomatic relations with China, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet satellite states in Eastern Europe (Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, etc.), Middle East, Libya, and Cuba, in the securing of a cheap supply of oil from China and Libya; and in the signing of the Tripoli Agreement.

Husband Ferdinand Marcos became the 10th President of the Philippines in 1965. Together with Imelda, he would rule the Philippines for more than 20 years.

She also became a beauty queen. At the age of 18, she was crowned the "Rose of Tacloban," became "Miss Leyte", went to Manila in 1953, and was named the "Muse of Manila" by then Manila Mayor, Arsenio Lacson, after she protested her loss in the Miss Manila pageant.

Her extensive shoe collection is world-renowned. When her family fled the Philippines in 1986 during a popular revolt, she left a treasure trove containing jewelry, some 1,500 pairs of shoes, dresses, and paintings by the masters.

Owns fashion line "Imelda Collection" with her eldest daughter, Maria Imelda (Imee) as designer. Products include jewelry, clothing and shoes.

A former First Lady and erstwhile powerful political figure in the Philippines.

Earned a bachelor's degree in education at St Paul's College in Leyte

Personal Quote:

"When I left the Phillipines, people looked in my closets hoping to find skeletons, but all they founds were shoes."

My Designs and Sketches

Hi guys! I just wanna share my designs and sketches that i made awhile ago. These sketches show my love for fashion and art. I hope you all like it!

I'll make more of these for my incoming blogs...take care and God bless!

2009-04-12T21:42:00.000-07:00

THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE

1. As expected, a third world country reveals the most glamorous dress in the world. Not Russia (known for it’s extravagant gaudines) or Italy or Greece, but Malaysia. This is why one must never underestimate and entire country when it comes to fashion.

Malaysian designer Faisol Abdullah has created what could be the world’s most expensive dress. Valued at $30 million, the masterpiece by Abdullah is adorned with 751 premium diamonds weighing over 1,000 carats all intricately crafted by the renowned Middle Eastern jeweler, Robert Mouawad. Incidentally, Mouawad diamonds are the darlings of Tinsel Town divas like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman. Mouawad’s pear-shaped 70-carat diamond sets the focus for the maroon tafetta silk evening gown that also features a majestic 6-metre train.

(source: http://blog.lelaluxe.com/2009/04/worlds-most-expensive-dress-reveals-by.html)

2.Women's lingerie can be pricey. This one might be ridiculously high. The Suns reported that the world's most expensive bra was displayed on the Victoria's Secret fashion show 2008. The bra worn by Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima on the fashion show is priced at $5 million, which contains 3,575 black diamonds, 117 certified one-carat round diamonds and 34 rubies, adorned with nearly 3,900 stunning gems. Who is going to buy this extremely expensive bra? Why do the Victoria's Secret designers create such crazy stuff? Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima wears the most expensive bra on the fashion show

(source: http://community.travelchinaguide.com/forum2.asp?i=49705)

3. These Cinderella Slippers by Stuart Weizman are the world's most expensive and cost $2,000,000 dollars. They have a four and a half inch stiletto heel and are set with 595 carats of platinum set diamonds. These were worn by singer Alison Krauss.

These Ruby Slippers by Stuart Weitzman are based on the ruby slippers worn by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, but you can bet that her slippers didn't cost a cool $1.8 million. These slippers are studded with 690 rubies and were made for an actress to wear at the Oscars but never worn.

This pair of alligator boots by Manolo Blahnik comes in at a cool $14000 which is very cheap by comparison. This designer is famous for very high heeled designs and also designs wedding shoes. The good news is that you can buy these fabulous boots and others made of ostrich leather and snake skin in New York. (If animal skins are your thing!)

4. The world's most expensive handbag, priced at an eye-watering £1 million, has been unveiled in London. Made out of platinum and set with over 2,000 diamonds - totalling 208 carats - the petite clutch is the ultimate accessory for the woman who has everything. But if its price tag seems a little steep, prospective buyers should bear in mind that the bag is nothing if not versatile.

Its diamond-encrusted strap can be detatched and worn as a necklace or bracelet and it also features an eight carat pear-shaped diamond that can be worn separately as a brooch. The bag was created by Japenese designer Ginza Tanaka. It is valued at more than £1 million and is the showpiece of London Jewellery Week, which is sponsored by private bank Coutts. The bag will go on display at a number of stores across the capital before being sold, but organisers have not disclosed which shops will get the honour of hosting the handbag.

5.On 14th September Julien Macdonald created the MOST expensive Fashion Show in the world! Not only was there £20 million in Dazzling Diamond Jewellery by MOUAWAD but Julien also created The Most Expensive Two Seater Ever From Ford, (inspired By Kylie).

Naomi Campbell opened the show wearing an amazing white gown and one of the rarest diamonds in the world - the 60.19-carat D flawless MOUAWAD MONDERA. Usually encased behind thick bulletproof glass, the £12 million MOUAWAD MONDERA, pear-cut diamond was the show's star attraction. In addition to this very rare piece the guests were treated to a visual delight with Erin O Conner and Karen Elson strutting brightly coloured summer frocks perfectly matched with sets of Vintage Diamond and rare canary yellow Diamonds.

Julien Macdonald also teamed up with Ford Streetka. To celebrate this partnership, Julien Macdonald customised the new Ford roadster. This fabulous vehicle was set with more than 2,000 brilliant cut diamonds. 150 carats of diamonds, supplied by GES in association with The Diamond Trading Company, gave the car a retail value in excess of $1,000,000.

6. If your passion for performance and luxury autos cannot be stopped, and your McLaren F1 is becoming a bore with the rest of your exotic cars, it might be time to check out the long awaited Veyron from Bugatti. At around $1.25 million, it is the most expensive car ever made. So what car value do you get for all that money?

This is not your typical luxury car. How about a W-16 (essentially two narrow-angle V-8s sharing a crankshaft) with four turbochargers generating 1001 hp, throw in all-wheel drive and you’ve got a seriously fast car.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 hits 60 mph in 2.5 secs., does the quarter-mile in 10.5 secs. and reaches its top speed of 252 mph in just 55 secs. After a long absence from the market Bugatti (with a little help from parent company Volkswagen) has reclaimed its title as the ultimate performance car and reigns supreme as the world’s most expensive car in production.

Top 15 highest paid Supermodels

2009-04-11T23:20:00.000-07:00

Gisele is the highest paid Model

(picture source: http://www.zimbio.com/Gisele+Bundchen/articles/727/Gisele+Bundchen)

Forbes's annual list of the top fifteen highest-paid models is out. Hooray! Writing about fashion just wouldn't be the same without constant reminders of how paltry our clothing budgets are. Gisele Bündchen tops the list by far, with estimated earnings of $35 million over the past twelve months. Heidi Klum's earnings are chump change by comparison, amounting to less than half of Bundchen's at $14 million. How did "German übermodel Klum wrangle the number two spot?

[B]y virtue of not only her television success as host and executive producer of Bravo's (soon to be Lifetime's) Project Runway, and as the host of Germany's version of America's Next Top Model, but with a slew of campaigns and partnerships including ones with Diet Coke, Jordache and Mouawad jewelry. In her home country, there's new deals with McDonald's, ...Volkswagen ...and hair care giant Schwarzkopf.

Um, McDonald's?! *Lightbulb* So that's how she maintains her figure!
Missing from this year's list is Victoria's Secret beauty Alessandra Ambrosio, who's taking a little hiatus to have a baby. Find the full list, earnings included, after the jump.

1. Gisele Bundchen - $35 million
2. Heidi Klum - $14 million
3. Kate Moss - $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima - $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes - $6 million

Fashionista

2009-04-11T00:17:00.000-07:00

Are you a Fashionista?

How can you say if a person is a fashionista?is it with her clothes?with the shoes that she's wearing? or with her stylish hair?Well, just sum these things up and you'll have what you call a fashionista.

I've been designing/sketching clothes since i was in 3rd grade and i was influenced by my barbie dolls. They have glamorous dresses flowing with their skinny bodies. They have long and shinny blonde hair that matches their radiant and beautiful faces. They look so perfect to play with everyday!As i was growing everday, i've been influenced by TV, so i also designed clothes that i see on TV with celebrities wearing them.

We're rooting through celebrities' outfits on TV, movies, magazines or even through the net just to see how clothes are being mixed to look good on them. Celebrities are fashion icons and we tend to follow how they dress up and how they look.

I listed my top 5 celebrity fashionistas to give you a reference whom to look up to every red carpet night.

1. Mischka Barton- she is one of the lead actresses in an american series entitled OC (a.k.a Orange County). I find her really stylish and fashion wise. She can carry herself well from tattered jeans to an elegant gown.

(picture source: http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/)

2. Sophia Bush- she's a mainstay in an american series entitled One Tree Hill. she plays as a young ambitious teenage girl who became a fashion designer for her own label called Clothes over Bros. She's been married with Chad Micheal Murray but they splitted up after 3 months. She's really a stunner in every awards night. Her hair, clothes and shoes are perfect for her.

(picture reference: http://www.blog.shaktimehtani.com/)

3. Lauren Conrad- she's the famous lead star in an american series entitled "The Hills" which is a sequel of the defunct american series called "Laguna Beach". She's my favorite character in those series. Given that she has her own label, she really looks good in any clothes that she's wearing with her blue eyes and fair body

(picture reference: http://www.thetrendsetter.wordpress.com/)

4. Jennifer Aniston- She's a very popular actress. She's been into hundreds of movies like "Marley and Me" and she's one of the cast of america's longest running show entitled "Friends". I like that way she make herself comfortable in every dress that she's wearing. Jen is definitely a fashion icon.

(picture source: http://www.metro.co.uk/)

5. Anne Hathaway- She's the lead actress of 'Princess Diaries" and "The Devil wears Prada". She's one of the most beautiful actresses in hollywood. Her style is simple yet glamorous plus she never forgets to put a little touch of classic flavor on it.

(picture source: http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/)

***some celebrities that i also look up into are mary kate olsen, miley cyrus, sarah jessica parker, kate moss, gisele bundchen and hilary swank.

We all have different tastes for fashion and we love to dress ourselves inorder for us to look good. We follow what we read and see to what we wear and use. The bottomline is, it's the way that we carry ourselves that makes people say that we're in fashion...we're fashionistas

I went online in my multiply account and i found out that there are lots of online botiques there. They have a catalog of the stuffs that they're selling and they are mostly trendy. So one day i tried buying one from one of my business contacts there and all i just did was fill out the order form and get the seller's information especially her gcash account(globe g-cash for globe subscriber), bank accounts for the payment. after she recieved the payment, she sent me my order and i got it after 1 day. see?i didn't waste my time looking for a nice outfit, i just went online and made my order.

Ukay Ukay around the Philippines

2009-03-21T16:18:00.000-07:00

Ukay literally means to "dig" and it'svery popular among filipinos.. These are relief goods from other countries which are sold everywhere in the philippines. I'm also fond of buying some ukay stuffs, I can buy pants for just Php 50.00 and a piece of blouse for Php 20.00 . These are cheap stuffs in which you can make "tawad" to or bid for a low price.

Where & When to 'Ukay'

The cheapest and most exciting is really the one on Hilltop, behind the Baguio City Market. At 6:00 o'clock in the morning, at 12:00 noon, and finally at 6:00 o'clock in the late afternoon, hawkers will spread out the used clothing and bags by the road. These sell at about Php10.00 - Php50.00 each. A lot of office workers are able to assemble their wardrobes this way.

'Bayanihan' is a pretty old hotel building to the northwest of Burnham Park that has found a new lease on life as the site of the cheapest ukay-ukay stalls. Navigating the maze of stores on different levels isn't easy, but the prices here are much lower than those found on Session Road. Stalls here close at around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.

"Skyworld' used to be one of Baguio's 'pre-earthquake' shopping centers with a prime location at the corner of Session Road and Calderon Street. The shops here sell the best items -- and the sellers know their value -- so if you are looking for premium designer brands, this is the place to go, because they are still cheaper than the 'vintage' offerings on Ebay. Like in Bayanihan, Stalls close by sunset.

Harrison Road and the side streets between it and Session Road have a many small shopping areas selling ukay-ukay, and what's interesting about these shops is that they sell not only apparel but toys, sporting goods, office stuff and novelty items as well

**Ukay is available all over the Philippines...If you're into diving into a mountain of relief goods, you can definitely get a very nice and cheap ukay for you. Patience is also a must if you're doing "ukay".
