adidas SAMBA OG SHOES

“A classic for a reason. I used my holiday money to buy a pair in black, and while the silhouette is not what I’m used to, I’ve learned to love it. It’s a versatile piece that I can rock from the office to the mall and in between with ease.” – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
AZTRID PH Jojo Hobo Bag in Denim

“The AZTRID PH Jojo Hobo Bag in Denim is my new everyday work bag! As someone who collects pins from all over the world, I love putting them on the bag and showing off my style and personality in such a unique way. It’s lined, roomy, and perfectly slouchy, too!” – Nica Glorioso, Features Writer
Banana Republic Ness Maxi Skirt


“I got this skirt from my mom, and it’s easily one of the best pieces in my wardrobe. As someone who usually gravitates toward more affordable clothing, it reminded me what a difference well-made, high-quality pieces can make. The fit, the fabric, and the way it elevates any outfit—it’s one of those timeless staples that prove some investments are truly worth it.” – Precy Tan, Copywriter
Orchid Pins from ze___brand


“I bought a couple of these pins and they are absolutely stunning! Coming in multiple different colors, these orchid pins will definitely bring any outfit to the next level.” – Leona Abrera, Editorial Intern
The Paper Bunny The Arc

“I didn’t think I’d find the perfect on-the-go bag—until I got my hands on The Paper Bunny The Arc. It’s compact but surprisingly roomy, fitting all my daily must-haves (phone, wallet, keys, and even a little extra) without feeling bulky. The lightweight design makes it effortless to carry, and the adjustable strap ensures it sits just right, whether I’m running errands or out for the day.
What I love most is how effortlessly it pairs with anything. The minimalist, modern design gives it that polished yet laid-back feel, making it my go-to no matter the outfit. It’s the kind of bag that just works—practical, stylish, and easy to bring anywhere.” – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
UNIQLO x JW Anderson Collection


“Seeing the collection take over my FYP on TikTok, I was instantly ~budoled~. Especially for all the working girlies, if you’re looking for good basic and functional pieces that you can use throughout the year, I definitely recommend the JW Anderson collection at UNIQLO.” – Bianca Lao, Brand Associate
