Killer Shoes with Killer Heels

I know I made a post before about Killer Corporate Attire, but all those sassy shift dresses and classy tops would be completely wasted unless you have the perfect shoes to match. I found three online stores that would provide you with uber hot shoes.

Renegade Folk:

I love the shoes from Renegade Folk because they’re are so unique and one of a kind. They don’t look like anything you’ll see in the malls and they give their shoe styles unique names like “I’d Rather Dance with You” and “So Nice So Smart.” It’s not everyday you’ll hear a shoe with that name! Some of the latest products from Renegade Folk are:

So Nice So Smart

Php 2950


PastedGraphic.umbfQDzpHX7M.jpgPastedGraphic1.c75zh1f2tuTJ.jpgPastedGraphic2.F1vVryNhewCj.jpg

It comes in both black and red, but personally I like the red one best because it has more personality and makes you appear more aggressive.

Walking on a Dream

Php 3,300

Now these must really feel like walking on a dream given that they’re 4.5 inches high! It’s also made of genuine suede leather. I just love how the shoe looks from the side!

The Librarians:

I love the name of this store simply because it makes me think of going to the library (duh!). The library is actually one of my favorite hang out spots in school! Although, I don’t think I’ll wear these shoes for a night of studying at the lib

Happy Magenta:

Php 2250

PastedGraphic6.T633q0mPMDmj.jpgPastedGraphic7.pUNa6QLvMPIV.jpg

These 4 in. heel shoes are made of pure leather and (unfortunately) only come in magenta.

The Black Spaceship
Php 1950

PastedGraphic10.tWNUpTLyKPYG.jpgPastedGraphic8.RHluEZdPNrSF.jpgPastedGraphic9.OVOIVONyDWTo.jpg

I love shoes with unique cut outs and The Black Spaceship definitely has that! It looks great on both the side and front view. They’re also 4 inch heels and are satin on pigskin leather.

Zoo Shoes:

Zoo shoes certainly live up to their motto of a place where everything is bold enough to make a statement. Since their shoes are BOLD and they certainly make a statement!

Sahara Detailed Platform Heel

Php 3,150
PastedGraphic11.lmwwGSKfbrl6.jpg

If any shoes would make a statement it would definitely be these! Take a look at the careful detail. It has studs, braids, stacked heel and contrasting stitching. It’s also 4.5 inches high and made from synthetic leather (yay, no animals harmed!)

Malibu Tri-band Pump

Php 3,199

Like I said earlier, i love shoes with unique cut outs - and these tri-band shoes certainly have that. Cut-outs look sexy because they show that you’re willing to show some skin but aren’t that trashy to show it all, still giving an air of mystery. And oh gosh they’re 5 inches high - 5 INCHES. Now those are some KILLER HEELS.

Blush On You Might Want to Try

Rosy cheeks are a sign that you look fresh, happy and inviting! Who wouldn’t want to have a little extra glow while around campus or chilling at the mall. I went to Beauty Bar a few weeks ago with the mission to find myself some good blush for the school year. These were my top picks.

Smashbox O-glow:

Price: Php1150
PastedGraphic.KHkHZtIkcU25.jpg

According to the packet the smashbox o-glow has intuitive cheek color with goji berry-c complex. Meaning it automatically adjusts the shade and hue of the blush so it will match your skin tone and transform into your natural blush. It’s also supposed to be loaded with antioxidants (oxidants tend to neutralize the free radicals that can cause cell decomposition) like Vitamin C, pomegranate seed oil and marine plankton (oh really?). Okay, I don’t really believe all of the intuitive cheek color claims but it still provides me with a natural flush, which looked and felt unique to me. The gel seemed to glide on smoothly and a little goes a long way with this product just be sure to blend and blend since this is a gel blush.


Model Co. Cheek tint:

Price: Php 1000++
PastedGraphic1.lU7U43cFsb6x.jpg

I’ve always loved Model Co items because their products look professional and are handy enough for you to carry anywhere.

The Model Co Cheeky Tint can be used on both your cheeks and lips. This is good so that you’re assured that your lip color matches your cheek color. It gave a deeper color than the one from smashbox so if you get this I would suggest to be careful. It spreads evenly though and gives a beautiful tint when applied sparingly. Since it’s a tint blush one of its features is that it’s long lasting and will probably last you the entire day (no need to reapply)

Pout Flush Blush:

Pout has some of the most beautifully packaged products I’ve ever seen. Just take a look at the packaging of their flush blush. Their products look artistic and have tasteful names, who wouldn’t take a second look upon seeing that blush on?

Be careful when applying this because the color is warm. What I liked about the flush blush was that unlike the previous two blush’s it gave a dewy like finish, making you look like you just came out of the shower with that perfect natural glow. It also provides a bit of a gleam so there’s no need to wear highlighter with it. The shape of the stick is also perfect for contouring your cheekbones thus you can use this if you would like to go for the chiseled high cheekbones look.

DuWop Blush Therapy

I’ve always loved DuWop products because they have always have some added oomph. Kind of like their lip venom line (which plumps up your lips).

This award-winning blush also gives a dewy finish yet feels less moist on your skin. What I like about it is that it is a cream to powder blush, meaning it is easy to apply (not messy) and blends well but still has a good lasting power without feeling thick or sticky.This one is definitely a winner, it’s creamy and easy to blend and it definitely gives you a glow. The circumference of the stick makes it very easy to apply to the apples of your cheek, fitting it perfectly. I would definitely recommend this for students who are always on the go.

Red Vanilla and Lapdance Laptop Bags

I was checking out PowerMac Center awhile ago and came across two brands of laptop bags, Lapdance and Red Vanilla.


PastedGraphic2.jC5TqW19Wr0X.jpg





Red Vanilla
Price: Php 5000++
Available at: http://redvanillabags.com

I love that they made a yellow laptop bag, usually laptop bags would come in red, black, white and other classic colors. But a yellow laptop bag just makes everything more fun and happy! It also comes in midnight blue, personally i like the midnight blue more because it looks like it would match all my outfits.


Out of Office

Picture1.ol0zFQy5AN37.jpgPicture2.MHaMDXa61WVY.jpgPastedGraphic3.TRYQXVgVNcJH.jpgPastedGraphic4.9EFKfIaV2FTD.jpg

This is described as the perfect bag for every business trip. You can attach it to your luggage or carry it over your shoulder.

Features include:

synthetic leather body
bumpers
nickel hardware
pen and USB holders (love this feature)
ID holder and key clip
front and inner pockets
back pocket convertible to sling
metal feet (very important so that your laptop doesn’t directly touch the floor!)

Casual Friday:

Picture3.RZF1VN49B678.jpgPicture4.hOieck6NQ4OM.jpgPicture6.TaKBHeNGU58m.jpg

This is the latest style offered by vanilla bags. It looks casual and would go perfect with your friday outfit. The design appears sleek and sophistical while still making you look outgoing and ready to just chill out. It comes in woven black, black and white. My personal favorite is the woven black because it adds texture to the design.

Features include:
synthetic leather
pullout laptop sleeve with Bumpers
inner pockets for your gadgets
large outer pockets for documents
side pockets
straps long enough to wear on shoulder
metal feet for protection


Lapdance bags
Price: Php 2500++
Available at : http://www.lapdancebags.com

Lapdance bags are much cheaper than red vanilla bags, and although they lack the craftsmanship of red vanilla bags they still manage to look professional and classy. They also offer good enough protection for your laptop.


Jive

Tootsie is the latest style offered by lapdance bags.
The outside material is from faux calf leather. The inner material has high-density foam pad (this protects your laptop in case you bump into surfaces), military strap sleeve grip and suede. Additional features include full-grain leather handles, metal base studs, color contrast stitching (making it look pretty), metal accessories and extra pockets.

Killer Corporate Attire

I love having to wear corporate attire to school because it makes me feel grown up and professional. However, I also don’t want to look plain and drab, i believe that corporate attire should be colorful and fun, how else would you be inspired to work?

I especially love the bow on the first dress!

PLAYSUIT:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

their theme is “work can’t stop a girl from having fun”. I love how their clothes make you look fresh and fun while still hinting that you mean business. This is definitely for power dressers who still want to have fun!

Price : around Php 1,000

Eight one:

Most of the clothes at eight one are on a student friendly budget so if you’re looking for an outfit for a report or presentation this would be the place to go to! The clothes look sleek and professional yet are still reasonably priced!

My personal favorite is the red dress, simply because I believe that any girl looks 10x more powerful in red - besides, it’s spells “i mean business.”
