Shoes, Anyone?

Keep ‘Em Kickin’!

There’s been a rather under-reported shoe brand in town. They’ve been a favorite of frugalistas, given their precious design sans the too-precious price tag.

VNC, a Malaysian brand offering shoes of all shapes and sizes, is promising to be quite a find.

Socks and Heels: Ugly Betty Fashion

Have you watched the popular Ugly Betty series lately? Betty Suarez, the main character (played by actress America Ferrera), is the progenitor of the recently-coined “Ugly Betty Fashion.” This trend involves vivid mix-and-match outfits, quaint colorful dresses, and brightly-hued socks worn with heels.

Pairing socks with heels – and pulling it off

Not everyone might be able to pull off the look as good as our dear Betty Suarez. But, as they say, if there’s a will, then there’s always a way.

Red platform lace-up shoes look oh-so-hot with grey socks – it’s like you’re walking on fire!

• Choose your poison. What color of socks would you want to wear? If you’re too scared to go ala-Betty, try more somber hues like brown or grey. If you’re willing to wander out of your comfort zone, try dark shades of stronger colors.
• Longer equals leaner. How long are your socks of choice, knee-high or mid-calf? Remember that the higher you go, the longer your legs will look. Save the ankle and mid-calf socks for those with gangly legs.
• Make your pick: clunky shoes or sexy stilettos? Depending on what look you want, you can wear either. If you want to do a fashion-forward but sophisticated look, stick to streamlined heels that define your legs. If stilettos bore you, start a trend by wearing socks with cut-out shoes.
• Tone it down with straightforward pieces. A plain oversized tank top worn with a short skirt will balance the look. Put on a cropped jacket to add élan to your attire.

Because socks worn with heels makes quite a statement, make sure that everything else you wear takes a back seat. See? It’s not that hard to update your look with a new and arguably eccentric trend.

Boots in the Philippines

Warm country? Wear Hot Boots!

Living in a country with a warm, cozy climate may be great for your complexion – but not so much for your wardrobe. It can be tricky and arguably impractical to don layers of clothes and boots in the tropics. However, a lot of fashion followers still manage to wear boots, even in countries like the Philippines.

Boots give you street cred, whether you get snow in your country or not. They add flavor to almost any item in your wardrobe: pants, skirts, shorts, and yes, even dresses.

• Pair your boots with mini-dresses. Wearing boots with dresses makes it easier for no-frills women to wear even the frilliest of dresses. While dresses are fabulously feminine, boots are ruggedly rustic. There is wisdom to wearing pieces that provide a certain contrast, just like it makes sense to add cream to your coffee.

Rustic boots + feminine dress = a balanced contrast

• Flowers are pretty; boots are sexy. If you feel that wearing boots in tropical climate is something you can’t work out, think again. Try wearing a summery dress, with flower prints and light fabric. Go for dresses that go above your knee to give your legs a little more length.

A cool bolero covers you up without smothering you – perfect for Christmas in tropical climates.

• Complete your fab ensemble with a tropics-friendly sweater. Even in the Philippines, Christmas can get chilly. A cozy bolero can give you warmth without smothering you.
• Use accessories with a rustic feel. Finish off your winter-gone-summer look with accessories that echo the relaxed aura of the tropics. Go for wooden cuffs and bangles with spring colors to pull your outfit together.

Boots and dresses merge western and eastern flavors in fashion. If you have a pair of boots, wear them with confidence! Remember that with fashion fusion, balance exists; wearing your boots with dresses will give your yin the yang it needs.
