Style Weekend: The beauty of bold pairings

My personal style is all about balancing elegance, chic sophistication, and a touch of sexy. Comfort is always a priority because when I feel comfortable in what I wear, I naturally exude confidence. I achieve this by incorporating pieces like sneakers with a chic dress, blending style and ease effortlessly. I also love adding jewelry to my outfits, as it enhances the overall look and makes everything feel more polished and put together. My #StyleWeekend starts with me waking up at 9 a.m. and enjoying a hearty breakfast to fuel my day. I spend the morning catching up on my modules and studies. After lunch, I get ready for my lawn tennis practice, which is something I always look forward to. Once practice wraps up, I head home, freshen up, and often go out to eat with family or friends. I end my day with a relaxing bath, followed by my skincare routine, a refreshing iced matcha, and winding down with a good show on Netflix.—Ma. Carmela Beatrix Alunan

I am absolutely in love with thrifting—it has been a passion of mine ever since I was a little girl exploring the Baguio night markets! I curated my look myself, thrifting each piece, including my boots and jewelry. My corset top is from Dear Agatha, another truly beautiful find. I don’t have a very specific style, but I’d like to say I have a beach-meets-farm girl aesthetic. I love exploring colors, prints, and accessorizing with rare pieces! My #StyleWeekend involves joining local pop-ups with my business, Kanjithrift. I started my thrift store during the pandemic and have since participated in many locally hosted pop-up events. It brings me so much joy and fulfillment to connect with people and share the love of thrifting. I also enjoy going on weekend dates with my family. We love exploring new places and restaurants or spending weekends on our farm, riding horses, and visiting our animals!—Bela Dolor

I love vintage-style graphic tees, especially authentic pieces, and I like pairing them with plain basics—like polos, trousers, jackets, or baggy shorts—to make the designs pop. I’m also starting to collect local pieces for their sustainability and durability. My #StyleWeekend is all about self-expression, whether I’m experimenting with looks on set at work or enjoying quality time with family and close friends.—Ian Francisco

I love to travel and discover new places, so I always make sure to pack comfortable yet stylish clothes. As a modern woman, I often pair dresses with sneakers for a feminine look that allows me to stroll for hours without hurting my feet. I also pair skirts or pants with comfortable boots. This way, I can fully enjoy my travels, create lasting memories, and look chic all at the same time. My #StyleWeekend begins with spending time with my loved ones. It’s either an activity with my family or going out with friends to discover new hangout spots like restaurants and cafes.—Andrea Santos
