A kaleidescope world

No, it’s not a country awards show. Many, many plaid outfits, yes, but the ladies looked far from country. They looked rocking hot as they added a new twist to the usual plaid outfit. They made use of leggings, fishnet stockings and killer shoes to vamp up their outfits. They also made use of modern accessories to create a “now” look to this trendy print. 

Meg magazine, together with Nokia, celebrated a decade of style and sisterhood with a fashion-forward theme, back-to-back rock bands and DJ entertainment. It was a music-filled bash that welcomed a huge crowd comprised of Meg readers and some of today’s biggest stars.

Geared towards molding smart, confident and fashionable young women, Meg — the country’s first homegrown teen fashion and lifestyle magazine — invited all its loyal style sisters to dress in their most rockin’ glam garb and troop to Club Ascend in Bonifacio High Street. Upon entering the venue, partygoers got the chance to strike their punkiest poses for the cameras and leave their messages on the photowall.

It was an easy, breezy night as the ladies partied the night away at The Tides. They wore very comfortable printed dresses, both short and long. All were designed in cool and light fabrics so they could move with the cool sea winds. The ladies sported minimal to no accessories for a fuss-free evening. Small totes were carried around to store their essentials.

As the season of merriment approaches, the party has already started at the Tides Hotel Boracay, which recently celebrated its first anniversary. It’s been a busy year for Boracay’s most stylish hotel, with a slew of successful promos and numerous events. The celebration night was filled with fun, good food, good music and, of course, good company.

London’s acclaimed “People’s Hairdresser” Andrew Barton flew in for the event to share the inside story on the product range which he helped develop within a three-year period.
