SAUCE OF THE WEEK / THE NEW ARRIVAL : FASHION ON THE LOW END
TIMES LIKE THESE when almost everyone you know is still teetering and tottering over stiletto- breaking potholes of the ever- present global financial meltdown and the cool tres chic crowd can’t afford to snag couture labels without batting a well-mascaraed eyelash— the ubiquitous vintage or ukay stores are a guilt free, must- stop watering hole for hardcore and newbie fashionistas. Wedged precariously in between pockmarked buildings all over the metro, these thrift stores offer a stupendous and jawdroppingly affordable mishmash of couture garb, footwear and accessories. Snag must- haves like an LV Speedy bag, Gucci flats or a Michael Kors tote by shuffling to the nearest ukay-ukay stores in Anonas, and Cubao. Needless to say, bring tons of cash, wet wipes and loads of equanimity.
Tangerine Bandwagon
Go wild and merry in a subtle and chic way by pairing the “it” color for the season, Tangerine, with neutral basics or with another bright piece for a color-blocked effect, or trying it in small doses, in the form of standout accessories.
Must be the Tangerine!
