Shemagh, Keffiyeh, Shmagh, or Yashmag

My cousin’s girlfriend works as a flight attendant for an airline based in Middle East. One of the things my cousin asked as pasalubong is a Shemagh. HUWHAT? A Shemagh (also called a Keffiyeh, Shmagh, or Yashmag) is a cloth used as a traditional headdress of Arab men. My cousin wanted one to use for his Airsoft activities.

In Memory of… Giordano Classics

My cousin and I went inside the Giordano store in SM City Davao yesterday. And I suddenly got a rush of nostalgia. I remembered that time in the middle of the 1990s when every Filipino seemed to own at least one Giordano Classics shirt. Do you remember???

Phink’s Flavors of the Week

ruffled tuxedo shirt

I love this look. It is just so timeless. This ruffled tuxedo shirt is also very versatile. It’s phinkerfect with slacks or a suit for the office and just as perfect for weekend wear. The ruffled details of this shirt complements the simplicity of denim to the hilt.

parker amsterdam cropped jeans

I have been recently sucked into the cropped pants phenomena. I find cropped pants so comfy and it sure beats the heat. I usually wear it with ballet flats and flipflops even though vertically challenged people are advised to wear heels with it. In addition, it’s so easy to dress it up or dress down.

cropped brocade jacket

I wish my legs are as long as hers….sigh. Anyway, this is what I recommend for those people who want to be trendy but do not want to stand out so much. A simple tank top paired with a pretty jacket adds punch to an average jane’s outfit anytime. Make it a rule of thumb to wear one piece of clothing or accesory to jazz up an otherwise typical or plain outfit.

stitched silk dress

Every girl has to have at least one little black dress a.k.a. LBD in her closet.

embroidered dress tracy reese

This is such a phinkness dress. It’s so girlie-girlie.
