The look I was going for was effortlessly cool and laid-back—perfect for a casual day out. My personal style varies depending on my mood. Most of the time, I go for classic pieces and keep things simple. But when I’m feeling a bit more adventurous, I experiment with trendy items while staying true to pieces that feel authentically me. My #StyleWeekend begins with hanging out with my son and enjoying the morning together. After that, I’ll usually dress up to meet friends or head over to Merkado Market if it’s happening that weekend. It’s all about keeping things casual and comfortable while still having fun!—Marla Ongtao-See
I’m wearing a polka-dotted maxi dress—which is thrifted, by the way! It screams classic and feminine, which I love. I paired it with my BTV bag and Onitsuka sneakers, plus just enough accessories to look put together. Lately, I love to experiment with elements in my personal style, whether it’s casual or feminine. Staying comfy, chic, and authentic is my priority. My #StyleWeekend usually starts with clinicals or duties, but this was a rare free Saturday. I like to kick off my weekends lightly, enjoying breakfast while watching my current favorite series, Sex and the City. If I have any backlogs, I tackle those right after eating. Since weekends are my reset time, I often spend the afternoons taking a nap, running coffee errands, and ending the night with either a spa session with my mom or browsing my notes for the upcoming week.—Ali
When I’m out with friends, I always go for clothes that give off elegant vibes with a minimalist touch. This style resonates with me as I look up to Jessica Jung, who owns Blanc & Eclare. As a freelance model, I can easily switch to other styles, such as punk and streetwear, and work with a variety of looks. My #StyleWeekend often involves hours of brainstorming what outfit I’ll wear for my weekend events. A lot of people, of course, want to look good and turn heads, and that’s usually my goal—not just on weekends but anytime I go out. ‘The world is my runway,’ I say to myself.—Maru Bana
My look today was inspired by the vintage blankets (or kumot) we used to have—just comfy and cute. I don’t have one particular style since I’m gender-fluid, so I explore and express myself through clothes. My #StyleWeekend starts with creating a look that aligns with my theme. I usually spend my weekends working. During my free time, I go to castings or shoots to work on my portfolio!—Fourth Requilman
