Bag the look
It was bag heaven as the ladies carried around their big totes. They came in different shapes, sizes, colors and styles — each one designed to suit a lady’s needs. Mingling was not a problem as the ladies wore their to-die-for strappy heels and Mary Janes. The shoes came in subdued colors that were perfect for the occasion. Minimal accessories were also worn with a preference for simple watches and earrings. Some opted for a single key accessory such as a statement neckpiece or a cinched waist.
YStyle hosted a high tea with our media friends at East Cafe at Rustan’s
YStyle learned about UNICEF’s services for functional literacy among the T’boli tribeswomen in Sarangani. They teach these women the basics of literacy — how to read and write, along with basic arithmetic. Simple tools like these can help women function in the real world.
Thanks to the assistance of donors like Folded & Hung and Olay, YStyle was able to raise substantial funds for the cause. To do your part and donate, call 758-1000.
