Fashionistas For Hire: Job Details (PH)
You asked, RSSI gives you the answers! After receiving various feedback and inquiries from the blog I posted last week regarding the must-have summer job for every career-driven fashionista. Here's the lowdown on what's in store for the 10 lucky chosen ones...
Beauty Bank: Kryolan Anniversary Promo
It's one thing to be a make-up junkie but when we're talking about freebies, now that's a whole new addiction. However feeble, measly or oftentimes, in shades we'd probably never use, we always find ourselves unconsciously shelving out, just to win that illusive goody bag.
As Kryolan celebrates its first year anniversary in the Philippines, the top German-pioneer cosmetic brand showers some love with fantastic loots for its beauty devotees!

Fashionistas For Hire! (PH)
Are you the chosen ones?
Summer 2010 heats up the lives of 10 lucky career-driven fashionistas who wanna look fierce while making some extra dough! You in? Read on!
Blog Shop: Step Sisters (PH)
Sex & the City's Carrie Bradshaw once said, "One must sacrifice comfort for fashion.." I am a firm believer of this blister-filled anecdote. As a self-professed shoe addict, killer heels and I are like a fly to a flame. I just can't resist the urge to oftentimes, strut in fierce agony to satisfy my shoe fetish. Then age kicks in, that no amount of candy bars or revolutionary cushioned soles can win the fight for comfort. So you busy commuters, stylistas on the run or late-night party animals, this is one sweet remedy minus the empty calories.... the Footsie Roll - shoes that fits into your bag to take with you wherever in case your feet can't take it in those stilettos you're wearing now!
Prps Jeans in Manila (PH)
"Bruised, never broken..."
This is not the distress call of a broken hearted gal. Instead, it is the resiliently witty, brand motto of New York-based luxury denim brand, Prps, who has just made its way to my shores.

Countless designer labels, magazines and the like have relied on Filipino talent for inspiration when it comes to accessories. Even international brands like Donna Karan and Armani have tapped into Pinoy designers to source for high-quality accessories to help complete their seasonal look books. Genea is a great example, exporting earrings, necklaces, bangles, anklets and belts made from all-natural materials.
