6 Ways Skinny Jeans Can Compliment Your Figure

Possibly one of the best inventions in fashion history are the classic skinny jeans. Simple, unapologetic, and versatile, these body-hugging bottoms have secured a permanent spot in any fashion girl’s wardrobe! Whether your style is bold and eccentric or minimalist and monochrome-friendly, skinnies gladly adapt to just about any chick with a goal of looking great. Thinking of getting a pair of your own? Make the splurge and elevate your figure with form-flattering pants through these 6 easy ways.

1. Straight color-blocking

When creating your #OOTD, consider color blocking with one tone in mind. Skinny jeans create a silhouette that elongates your overall figure. In Style advises that a plain tank is the only underpinning you need with a statement jacket and jeans. Put together a slinky black tank top and throw over a jacket for easy casual sexiness.

2. Opt for high-waisted skinnies

If you’re all for flaunting your God-given traits, we suggest a good pair of high-waist skinnies to highlight your curves without looking too raunchy. The way these jeans are created, the hips are
hugged to show your natural curves, complementing your figure in all the right places.

3. Go strappy with your shoe game

Add a few inches with your shoe of choice and make them strappy! We suggest going for lace-up heels that look great with ankle-length skinny jeans giving an illusion of towering legs for days! The Fashion Tag claim skinny jeans and heels are more of a sexy-party style that lets you go from casual to night out-ready through just changing your shoes.

4. Hide tummy troubles with the right size

With just the right amount of stretch, skinny jeans are well-known for hiding tummy fat and love-handles ever so subtly, that no one will ever think they are there in the first place. Bright Side states that jeans size is very important and tight-fitting pants that are just, well too tight, will make your bottoms look stiff and won’t make your belly look very appealing.

5. Play on proportions

Whether you’re feeling a body-hugging top or a comfy oversized sweater, skinnies welcome different proportions while keeping you comfortable. Although skinnies weren’t always accepted as
casual wear for women. Filipino denim brand BNY Jeans outlines that skinny jeans first appeared in 1915 when it was socially deemed possible for girls to ditch skirts and opt for skinny jeans as an alternative. And well, the rest is history.

6. Slims thighs through high-rise jeans with pockets

Self.com writer Crisitina Cianci feels that finding the ideal pair of jeans for thick-thighed women is a daunting task. It’s best to go for smooth legs without suffocating your thighs in the process,
which in turn will make sure that your skinnies aren’t uncomfortable to wear, too. Get the shapely figure you’ve always wanted that is best flaunted with high-rise cuts with strategic pockets to make high-rise pants breathable around the waist.

Atsui: A Local Performance and Athleisure Brand Made for Comfort, Style, and Confidence Is Making Waves In The Country

The conception of Yoga pants and sweatsuits worn only inside the gym are a thing of the past. These types of clothing have evolved through the years and defined street-style chic. The modern-day society has already embraced athleisure as a staple piece of clothing in every Filipino’s wardrobe necessities. Gone are the days that we feel constrained by our outfit choices. The choice of a new flexible, comfortable local athleisure brand that will give us a versatility in showing our silhouettes is here.

Atsui which is translated to “hot” in Japanese is a local brand that produced and exported sportswear since 2014. The vision of the brand is to provide Pilates and Yoga wear that would match the needs of everyday enthusiasts in function, fashion and price. The brand plans to expand its reach to provide the same comfort and confidence to all kinds of movements.

“I lived away and trained for Pilates for a few years, and when I decided to bring my experience back to the Philippines, I was taken aback to find that there were very limited options in the country; quality active wear was available, but it was often too expensive,” shares Leslie Silvestre, one of the founders of Atsui. “The response for Atsui within the community has been overwhelming, and we just want to extend and share the brand to everyone who enjoys an active, stylish and fun lifestyle.”

With Asuis’s strong commitment to quality, the brand introduces Airemov which is a specially woven 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric with increased elastane that allows each pieces to move as you do. “We make sure we use the best fabrics to provide the support needed for high performance activities such as spinning, boxing and crossfit,” says Homer Silvestre, co-founder and designer for Atsui.”Each product that we create at Atsui is carefully designed and engineered with uncompromised quality at honest, appropriate value.”

At the Raffles Residences Lounge, Atsui’s 2017 Pre-Holiday collection was recently launched on the 27th of September 2017 with a pop-up showroom and showcased the brand’s signature style and quality active wear for all sports and activities.

Rivers is the newest collection, inspired by Asia’s great rivers and the the different and changing circumstances around it. The new collection exhibits Atsui’s movement and progress through pieces that blends form and function: rich in colors, classy prints, comfortable and durable.

2017 Pre-Holiday Collection: Rivers

HUANGPU | Inspired by the river that bisects Shanghai that highlights the two faces of the city – Puxi with its historical architectures and Pudong which is lined with modern skyscrapers

SUMIDA | Inspired by the river in Tokyo, Sumida is a study of contrasts juxtaposing the Japanese reverence of nature with its Sakura tree-lined banks against the electric energy of the big city

CHEONGGYECHEON |Taking from the changing view of progress of the Korean mega city of Seoul, where the Cheonggyecheon River is found, the collection features patterns that hint of technology, reworked urban camouflage and topological maps.

There’s nothing like a good pampering after a hard day’s work. We all deserve back rubs and foot spas to nurture our tired feet and sored backs.

Services

Olaplex Mini Treatment

My recent hair treatment was last July and my hair already turned dry and quite dull due to bleaching. My hair is screaming for an intervention and I was glad I get to try the Olaplex treatment. One celebrity that I know who used this kind of treatment is Kim Kardashian and her hair is always on point and healthy. Olaplex is a treatment that strengthens the disulphide bond of our hair damaged by chemical process.

The first step was to apply the bond multiplier, this helps in rebuilding and preventing further damage to the hair. Then the no. 2 solution was applied to restore any broken bonds for shinier and healthier hair. My hair was soaked with the solutions for about 20-25 mins and while I waited I had my nails and feet done.The hairstylist washed my hair with Elgon, an organic hair care product from Italy. My hair was cleansed with their purifying shampoo that balances the ph in the hair follicles. Conditioner and hair mask was applied to moisturize and maintain the softness of my hair.

After that I went back to the salon to have my hair blow dry. The attendant was tedious and friendly while doing my hair. I am quite satisfied with the treatment as my hair was revived, silky smooth and shiny. I can’t help but smile because it lessen the problematic dryness of my hair plus it smells divine.

Manicure and Foot Spa

Rainbow Dream spa uses organic brands like Zoya and Orly nail polish. Melissa who attended to me colored my nails with Orly breathable treatment + color. This type of nail polish does not need a top coat nor base coat. It is also infused with Argan Oil, Pro Vitamin B5 + Vitamin C . The shade made me feel so girly because it is in Millenial Pink and it also complemented my skin tone.

Just the smell of their Eucalyptus oil and whitening scrub relaxes me. The scrubbing procedure did not hurt no matter how much pressure the staff applied. My foot was aching that day as I came from a 12-hour shift. I can feel the pain lessening with each pressure point attended to. My legs and feet feels so smooth and whiter after the procedure. I was also entertained by one of their staff singing.

Massage

I was lead to the massage room and instructed to lay my folded clothes on a designated area. The masseuse handed me a towel and asked if we can start the massage which I said yes to. The Swedish massage entails a series of bending ,circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, percussion-like tapping, stretching and, firm kneading. The masseuse was informative on the do’s and dont’s after massage.

With each stretch I can hear my bones cracking and when she tapped one of my pressure points , I can feel my blood circulating. When the head massage came I asked the masseuse if she can do something about a growing pain in the space in between my eyebrows(frontal sinus) . She definitely did a great job as the pain lessened. I actually fell asleep while she was massaging the rest of my arms. I felt a gentle nudge from the masseuse to signify that the massage was over. The whole massage experience was truly therapeutic and rejuvenating. I highly recommend this and would definitely be back again with my mom.

Price

Overall experience

Rainbow dream spa is a one stop destination for all of your pampering needs. I can say they out done themselves with world class products and great services that is being offered at an affordable price. The 24/7 concept is great for workaholics and for people who have shifting schedules like me.
