For me one of the necessities in today's generation are bags. Yes, it may be odd but I think or perhaps I could say that bags are just one of the many needs. It is multi-factional as it can be used to carry different loads like books, kikay kits, clothes, groceries and other materials. It can also be used as an accessories for your trendy style just like the teens today. They make use of bags as part of their fashion statement. Of course bags comes on different sizes, styles, and uses but it serve its main purpose, to carry load.

For young adults like me I consider bags as necessity because I use them to carry my kids clothes and things they need but of course as a Mom I also need to be stylish and trendy, not too bright and not too Gothic.
Since we're talking about bags I am very thankful to one of PR friends that I was invited to witness the contract signing between Kathryn Bernardo and Ruffles Bags. They are both not new to me, I used to watch Kath's teleserye and she is really well know in the showbiz industry while Ruffle Bags, I bought one way back 2010 when I was still working and I can say that the quality was great and it is trendy as well.

Hairstyle is very important, especially this time.  Proper grooming reflects the attitude and the appearance of an individual.  This days, teenagers are very updated about the "trending" fashion and hairstyle.

Recently, I attended an Ystilo Event at one of their branch at Greenhills.  I am very curious on what's new with them and of course the services that they offer.  I've never been to this salon, so I was excited on how the pampering will be.


School days again locally, so most of the students are wanting to have their haircut done and of course have the trendy look when they come to school.  Examples are these two good looking guys of Starmagic 2013, Jules Estrada and Alexander Diaz.

Jules Estrada

Bloggers got the opportunity to interview Jules and Alex. Jules Estrada, son of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, shared his hairstyle and it's a no no for anyone to touch it, ever! According to him, he like his spiky hairstyle which is not suited during school days, as we all know there are certain restrictions at school on how hairs should be so for him he manages his hair by letting it brush down and not the spiky look to be appropriate in their school.  Oh, I just wonder if my son will be like him when they grow up, but for now I enjoy being the boss of their hairstyle because they are still my little boys.

Alexander Diaz

Apparently Alexander Diaz was more of an adventurous type on his hairstyle.  He liked experimenting on what is "trendy" and appropriate on his look.  During the interview, he even disclosed that he will let Ystilo take care of the trimming of his hair and put some haircolor to look more fashionable.  Well I guess he is more on changing his style because he is a model and a talent of Star Magic.


Since it's school days, Ystilo salon have their back to school promo which offers some treatment and hairstyle that will definitely fits to most of the students.  And here's what they are offering with their back to school promo.

Of course, I too got the opportunity to try their services.  Two months ago I had my hair done with Hair Rebond, so this time I definitely need to have a Kera treatment to bring back the nutrients of my hair.  So, I try their Kera treatment, aside from the nutrients that my hair needs, looks more shiny and soft.


Well, I feel that I am going to school again with my beautiful hair (hahaha) because after the Ystilo event I attended a summit, iBlog: The 9th Philippines Blogging Summit.  While listening to the speaker my husband who is a blogger also keep on taking pictures of my hair.  I think he is still in love also with my hair, hahaha.



So mommies out there, try to experience the hairstyle that Ystilo offers and also try their back to school promo.  Visit their page at Ystilo Salon

 

Last week I attended a Fashion Show, not my first time but it feels as it was because that was the first time that I saw a fashion show inside of a mall.  It was good seeing those models on the ramp showing what's new and what's trendy.  They featured some of the latest dress offered by some of the boutiques inside the SM City North EDSA.



In some of the fashion shows that I have attended they showcased collections made by designers but in this specific show models showcase different day to day wearable items.   If I have an opportunity to buy, I will buy some of the dress that I saw during the Fashion Show but of course with our lifestyle, priorities used addressed.






Though the show was short, people were able to stop with their shopping time and tried to watch the fashion show.  I can say that some of them were inspired to buy some of those clothings.


It was really an experience!
