She doesn’t necessarily have to be pretty because everything can be enhanced with a swish of a brush. We’re lucky that over the years, not only have local magazines aided in the evolution of society’s common viewpoint for beauty, they also paved the way for non-model cover girls. Reviewing international fashion history, Anna Wintour made it okay [...]

    When In Manila, it’s time to find ways to help our four legged friends and get them off the streets!   I’ve always been a believer that those who are strong should look out for those who are weak.
