Color us obsessed: YStyle’s monthly list of things that are the cat’s pajamas

MANILA, Philippines - How do I love Loki, let me count the ways. No, seriously. From the moment Tom Hiddleston took the character for a spin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki as the comics knew him was forever altered into a ridiculously likable anti-hero. He was reborn into the body of a child and wrought both mischief and cuteness in Journey Into Mystery (still one of my favorite reads in recent years) until — spoiler alert! — his old consciousness took over his young body. He then tried his best to be both self-serving but strangely on the side of good in Young Avengers, magicking his way into a more grown-up body midway, being his own worst enemy, and then making it all right in the end by (sort of) helping to save the day — and the world — and bankrolling a killer New Year's bash. With Young Avengers calling it quits (again!), Marvel’s God of Mischief  has found a new home: his own comic, Loki: Agent of Asgard. Which I am obsessed with. Subtle references to fandom culture, cheeky nods to both Wicked and One Direction, and tons of snark and sass, all in the first issue? So much fun. I’m in love. -—Regina Belmonte

Lazy girl’s shampoo

I have a confession to make: I hate washing my hair. I know: gross, but I really do. I hate it when my head is sopping wet and soaks my clothing. I especially hate it when it’s really hot outside, and my sweat mixes with the moisture dripping from my hair. So sometimes, I do it every other day, and it works out okay. On certain days, though, you can totally tell by the way my hair is flatter on the top of my head and if you get really close… well, let’s just say, try not to get really close to my head.

So when I chanced upon a C.O. Bigelow apothecary while walking around in New York, I popped in and out of all the things, I splurged on a $42 bottle of Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, arguably the most highly rated dry shampoo out there. Yes, I know that’s a lot to pay for the convenience of not washing your hair, but the cashier totally validated my purchase, proclaiming: “This is the best stuff in America.” Well, I’m not in America anymore, so woe to you who can’t buy it locally because I love this stuff. It gives my hair instant lift and volume and my head totally smells fresh and clean — not even my boyfriend can tell that I didn’t shampoo my head. Trust me, that’s saying something. —Cai Subijano

Comeback kid

When Nicolas Ghesquière was let go by Balenciaga last year after being in the house for more than 15 years, fashion citizens and fans of the designer were disappointed with the news. Weeks after the big breakup, rumors were circling that he was being courted by the LVMH group to transfer to Louis Vuitton. Much to everyone’s delight, Ghesquière gladly said yes.

Fast forward to the Paris Fashion Week fall/winter 2014 shows, his much-anticipated first collection for Louis Vuitton finally debuted two days ago. And to everyone’s surprise, the designer presented a no-gimmick, just really pretty and well-made collection. From the coats, to the jackets, tops, pants, shoes and bags, he simply reminded everyone of what he’s good at: top-notch tailoring and construction. It was definitely a new start for Ghesquière and we’re beyond excited to see more of what he has to offer in the next few seasons. —David Milan

The Chanel grocery dream

Was it real or was it just a dream? Did Chanel really just transform a giant warehouse in Paris into the supermarket full of Chanel basics — oh you know, skim milk, ketchup, cold cuts, cereal, all emblazoned with those iconic C’s? Karl Lagerfeld pulled off an exercise in thoroughness at the recent fall 2014 show of the French fashion house, creating a new dream landscape and elevating the oft-taken-for-granted practice of running to the grocery store into a chic thing. Surreal and yet realistic down to the last Glad-wrapped quilted handbag, the show left a lot of women actually wanting to run errands — though perhaps not wearing tweed and pearls, but at least in something better than sweatpants.  I’m obsessed with the idea of Chanel marmalade, Chanel tuna, Chanel toothpaste… Are unicorns real, too?—Chonx Tibajia
