Lazada’s Guide to Mastering Street Style

Lazada’s Guide to Mastering Street Style

by | May 30, 2017 | Personal Care Tips

Street fashion has been the go-to style of many because it provides an unlimited room for creativity and self-expression while still ensuring comfort. While there is no hard rule on how street style is done, here are some tips to help you keep your street style edgy. We’ve also included some products on sale to help you update your street style collection at a fraction of the cost.

1. Denim rules

Denim is very flexible and can be matched with almost anything!

Feeling a bit dressy but want to keep your jeans? No problem! Pair it with heels and a blazer and you’re ready for a client meeting. For women, check out Freego’s low rise jeans (P1,199.80) and have it paired with these nice Koko black from Parisian (P899.75).

Demin on Denim? Sure! The rule of thumb is to make sure that your denim is of different wash or shade. For men, the blue indigo denim shirt from Wrangler (P1,359.80) paired with Penshoppe’s light blue skinny ripped jeans (P1,099) would look great!

2. Proportions matter

Be ready to roll up your jeans or wear some oversized shirts or jackets.

Just remember that too much of anything is also not good so be sure to keep your lengths to that which you can still comfortably and confidently wear.

For men, Penshoppe’s long line indigo wash tee (P399) pairs well with Oxygen’s distressed cropped jeans (P499).

For women, experiment on high-waist wide-leg pants (P873.03) with your favorite cropped shirt.

3. Love your sneakers

Almost everything goes well with sneakers! When in doubt, go with a pair of classic white sneakers.

Whether you’re planning on wearing shorts, leggings, a dress or even a nice pair of suit, a pair of white sneakers should do well with them. Check out Keds Chillax off-white sneakers for women (P2,695) and Pony’s white Shooter Low canvass sneakers (P2,590).

4. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize

Tiny details that complement your get could bring a boring outfit back to life.

An outfit with a plain white shirt would be so much better when paired with the pink backpack from Pilot (P698) or the blue Herschel Reid backpack (P1,458). Casio’s resin strap watch (P849) also adds a playful vibe with its colorful dial.

For men, give your outfit an astig look with a dog tag necklace from Silverworks (P225). And for a multi-purpose watch that you can serve as your everyday watch, check out the classic watch from Timex (P2,640).

5. Be Yourself

banana monkey be yourselfDon’t be afraid to show your personality through your look. Be it through colors or accessories, make sure that what you wear represents you. And most importantly, always remember that thinking of what you should wear next should always be a fun activity.

Ascott to open first property in the north

Ascott to open first property in the north

by | May 28, 2017 | Lifestyle

CitadinesThe Ascott Limited, world-renowned international serviced residence owner-operator, recently announced it will be opening its first property in the northern part of Manila, Citadines Milennium Ortigas Manila.

Developed by property developer, CDC Holdings, the milestone property is strategically located in the central business and commercial district of Ortigas. The serviced residence is also the 7th property in the fast-growing Ascott Philippine cluster, set to open in the second quarter of this year.

Ascott introduces the Citadines Millennium Ortigas Manila

Citadines Millennium Ortigas Manila is just a stone’s throw away from Ortigas’ row of corporate establishments including the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Philippine Stock Exchange as well as health and lifestyle hubs such as malls, restaurants, and fitness centers. The new property is also easily accessible to other key areas in the metro like Makati City, San Juan, Taguig, and Quezon City.

“By building Citadines Millenium Ortigas Manila in the central business and commercial district of Ortigas, we are providing young business executives and couples, a space where they can both work and enjoy a dynamic city lifestyle,” said Arthur Gindap, Regional General Manager, The Ascott Limited, Philippines and Thailand.

The 32-storey, 293 contemporary apartments also offers spacious units to its residents. Each unit is fully equipped with necessary home amenities such as a fully functioning kitchen and wireless internet.

Elsie Chua, President & Chief Executive Officer of CDC Holdings, shared, “All throughout the building, from the lobby to the amenities to the serviced residence floor, we have applied greenery and green features so residents may find serenity and beauty of nature amidst the bustling city.”

Citadines Millenium Ortigas Manila has also incorporated energy-and water-saving features throughout the property to help reduce carbon footprint. The building was built to conform to global environmental specifications by using energy-efficient lighting, which makes use of LED lights that burn less energy.

Amenities of Ascott Citadines Millenium units

Apartment toilets feature water-saving fittings like the dual flush toilet cisterns to cut down on water consumption. Citadines Millennium Ortigas Manila makes good use of natural lighting and ventilation to minimize environmental impact. More importantly, the apartments have double-glazed windows that prevent unwanted heat from coming in and help reduce medium to high frequency noise from outside.

The property also features pockets of green with its garden deck found at the building’s 4th floor, as well as guests’ lounge, swimming pool, and fitness center where guests and residents are rest assured to have an enjoyable stay.

The artsy vibe is also reflected all throughout the building. Apartment designs also incorporate touches of indigenous art to provide total local experience and home-y vibe to its residents. It is uniquely mixed with bio-mimicry that showcases designs bearing elements of nature such as stones, grass, leaves and chartreuse colors.

Hope in a Shirt

Hope in a Shirt

by | May 27, 2017 | Advocacy

Hope in a Shirt – a unique concept that marries fashion, comfort, and social awareness.

That there is a severe shortage of classrooms in the country is a sad reality that needs to be addressed. And the government simply cannot do it alone.

Hope - Business for GoodIt was towards this end that GenerationHOPE, a social enterprise aimed towards the building of public school classrooms, was formed by Founder and President, Nanette Medved-Po, who graduated with degrees in Finance and Entrepreneurship from Babson College in Boston.

Hope in a Bottle

Hope in a Bottle

From the initial success of Hope in a Bottle Purified Drinking Water — the full profits of which go towards the advocacy, wherein 37 classrooms have already been built — the team realized the growing interest among Filipinos in buying socially and environmentally responsible brands.

Hope in a Shirt

A post shared by Penny Tan (@slvrdlphn) on

 

Thus, as an offshoot, Hope in a Shirt was born. But these aren’t just any ordinary shirts: they are unbelievably soft custom printed shirts made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! These shirts became an instant hit among Nanette’s friends and soon word spread.

So taking this concept further, Nanette has turned to Solenn Heussaf with the idea of creating custom designs for an exclusive Hope in a Shirt collection.

Now, with the help from the good guys at Globis, Inc., every one of Solenn’s brush and pencil strokes were transformed into high quality textile prints – resulting in shirts that are unique, artsy, and stylish!

And for yet another first, the collection will be launched in a special Hope-branded vending machine — an idea inspired by New York fashion week.

The result is a disruptive and desirable product that celebrates art, innovative sustainability, and a worthwhile cause.

The Hope vendo will pop up in 3 surprise locations, for only 2 to 3 days each.

Just 200 shirts will be produced and sold, so excited shoppers can keep tabs on Hope’s Facebook and Instagram pages to find out where they’ll pop up. Thereafter, the shirts will be available exclusively through Zalora.

How exclusive are these shirts?  There are only three designs and each shirt has a serial number on the sleeve.  This means that all purchased shirts are only one of 67 or 68 copies.  Get your own Hope in a Shirt while you can.
