SIGH STYLES

A weekend spent with family in one of the most relaxing places in the world - the beach resort - is indeed a gratifying experience. We seldom give ourselves plain R&R.  Last weekend's brief, yet blissful and fun, getaway was planned several weeks ago and the days had finally come. This is our second time to enjoy an overnight stay at  Plantation Bay  Resort and Spa in Marigondon Mactan Island. By the way, last September 26, 2014, Plantation Bay Resort and Spa's Facebook page has featured the picture above as their Guest Photo of the Week , see HERE .  Thank you Plantation Bay for the feature! I prefer this resort than anywhere else from the long list of beach resorts here in Cebu, since I will always feel safe swimming at their man-made lagoon with salt water on it plus exploring the landscaping of the resort is extremely worth enjoying. Plantation Bay   Resort and Spa is  set in 11 hectares of secluded grounds yet on...

Sigh Styles have been supporting brand awareness campaigns for new direct selling businesses in the Philippines.  If you remember, I had a collaboration with Human Heart Nature and Beautiful Horizon, see HERE and HERE .  And this year, I decided to promote another direct selling business which has been in the industry for quite some time now.  I was introduced to Royale Business Club through my sister's officemate, C2, nick for Luisito .  He did later become our (my sister and I) business partner / adviser.  As C2 is also interested in photography, the photo shoot then became another great collaboration of talents. Now let's talk about  Royalè . Royalè is a 100% Filipino-owned corporation established in 2006. From its headquarters in Quezon City, Philippines, the company is continually changing the landscape as we know it - from its expansion of branches throughout key cities in the country to international hotspots in the cities of Dubai, Taipei...

Gone are the days when the "curvy" ladies are hiding in their shells.  Everyone is equally treated now.  The big and small are now sharing the same spotlight. I have been contributing to SUNSTAR newspaper since 2013 and have styled and photographed models that have skinny figures.  Last April of this year, I realized, why not feature a 'curvy' model and explore the fashion of plus sizes. I was overwhelmed to get another nod by Ms. Kara Mae Noveda to do a photo shoot for PLUS SIZE Fashion which was featured in SUNSTAR newspaper - Shopping Bag section on May 23, 2014. The next 5 photos below made it on print. My styling for this Plus Size concept encompasses the idea of the body as a canvass to express one's self through fashion and strut daily that exuding confidence, telling the world, who cares if I'm not skinny. Being chubby or plump or obese is not a hindrance to look good and feel good about oneself.  And in fashion, being overweight is ...
