Blackbough Swim
“I’ve been a devoted fan of Blackbough Swim ever since discovering the brand in 2022. Their swimwear is some of the best I’ve ever come across, offering exceptional quality paired with the cutest designs to meet all your beach-day needs. The brand has also made waves with major collaborations, including their partnership with The Summer I Turned Pretty and their meaningful Bambi Ballet Collection, where 15% of profits were donated to the Talarak Foundation.
Beyond bikinis, I’ve fallen in love with their quilted tote bags. These versatile bags have become my go-to for everything from work meetings to everyday errands. They’re not just practical—they add a chic, demure twist to any outfit.
Blackbough Swim is peak girlhood. Treat yourself to their beautiful pieces this holiday season, and if you spot one of their sales—don’t walk, run!” – Bianca Lao, Brand Associate
Charles and Keith Black Davis Buckled Fold-Over Boots
“This Christmas, I’ll be reaching for my trusty Charles and Keith boots to complete my holiday look. Not only are they stylish and comfortable—perfect for everything from family gatherings to festive nights out —but they also bring that chic, elevated touch to any outfit.
Plus, their durability means I can wear them all season long without worrying about wear and tear. Every time I slip them on, I feel confident, fashionable, and ready to take on the holiday season in style.” – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
GU
“Every time I go to Japan, I always make time to stop by GU a few times. I love GU. I would buy everything in GU. From jackets to jumpsuits, skirts to pants, this Uniqlo sister brand delivers quality, comfort, and style in every piece. Day 119484 of hoping someone would put up a GU in the Philippines!” – Nica Glorioso, Features Writer
H&M Dracula Printed Sweatshirt
“As a fan of classic films, I couldn’t resist the H&M Dracula Printed Sweatshirt. The vintage-inspired design is a nod to one of my favorite iconic characters, making it a fun yet stylish way to show my love for old Hollywood.
The soft fabric and relaxed fit also make it incredibly comfortable, perfect for movie nights or casual days out. It has to be one of my faves because after wearing it again after a long time, I also got so many compliments—it’s definitely a statement piece! Tip: Pair it with a black mini skirt and a collared top underneath for a chic, preppy look.” – Precy Tan, Copywriter
OXGN Metro Hustlers Collection
“Whoever at OXGN thought of releasing a collection over the holidays that’s primarily in brown, green, and beige colors was lowkey cooking. The collection has a lot of pieces that fit my style (the beige work jacket ate) and can also complement a variety of ‘fits. And given the color palette, it’s a collection you can still wear long after the Christmas decorations have been taken down.” – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
