Style Files: Steph Sison

Name: Steph Sison
Age: 17
City: Quezon City
School: U.P. Diliman


Yin-Yang style. I would describe my style as east meets west. When I was a kid, I was heavily influenced by Japanese fashion. As I grew up, I became more inclined to American apparel and trends. However, I still  make sure to infuse a few eastern influenced pieces due to the current K-Pop trend.
Shopping haven. I usaully shop in local department stores, which I believe are totally underrated. I also like branded shops like Jellybean, Forever 21, Zara, and Promod.
Style icons. I really look up to fashion bloggers like Tricia Gosingtian, Kryz Uy, and Camille Co. I also love Heidi Klum's edgy street style.
Influenced style. Televison shows heavily influences my style. Gossip Girl and ANTM are my go-to shows for fashion inspiration. Candy magazine also inspires me because it updates me with the latest trends.
Closet palette. My wardrobe is filled with mostly neutrals and pastels.
Accessory fave. Cardigans. I have thin skin so I tend to freeze in cold places, so I wear cardigans a lot. Also, I feel too bare wearing sleeveless tops so I like wearing cardigans so that I feel comfortable and look appropriate, especially for important occasions.
Not ever. I would never wear anything in snake or crocodile skin. I just don't like it.
Trend comeback. I would love it if Audrey Hepburn's style became really trendy again. She just has the best fashion sense.
Best buy! Hand-me-downs from my mom! We have the same body frame so I usually grab whatever is in her closet and incorporate it into my wardrobe.
Vintage love. I just adore my mom's vintage jewelry and clothing. She seems to have a knack for spotting the best classic pieces such as a long black dress from Gap and  cute cardigans. She also has a beautiful collection of necklaces and bangles.

5 in 5: Ken Chan

What do you do when you're heartbroken? "I eat a lot, especially sweets and I hang out with my friends."
In your honest opinion, do flowers really work? "Oo naman. That's what girls like. If you give a girl flowers, it's really a big deal! Most of my friends who receive flowers, they get really kilig."
How would a girl know you like her? "When I smile at her and then I tell her jokes. Or if I get her number. Hindi ako direct manligaw eh."
What is the best advice you've been told? "When it comes to work, they tell us to turn the negative into positive. Especially in this business, where you go through struggles and obstacles."
If you could go back in time or travel to the future, where would you go? "I'd go back to the time when Jesus Christ was alive. Whenever I get asked that question, this is my answer. Laking tuwa ko siguro makita siya in person!"

DIY: Cocoa Jar

Sweet and comforting, cocoa puts everyone in a jolly mood. A jar of hot cocoa mix is a great gift idea because drinking mugs of it with the family during chilly nights is a must! Sure, you can buy sachets from the grocery, but the layering on this gift is a sight to behold. And it's super fun, too!

Trend Alert: Baroque Print

Nothing is more hip for the holidays than luxe and opulent pieces. The belle of the Christmas ball? the baroque print. It's one of the biggest prints in the fashion scene for this season, which is why you definitely need to grab any piece of clothing in this print right now!


This baroque trend is the perfect solution to every fashionista out there who wants to dress up their looks in time for all the festivities and celebrations. This print inspired from the 17th century, in its many different colors and designs, always exudes luxurious fabric and intricate details. Suprisingly enough, this trend can easily be infused into your everyday looks. It's all a matter of switching it up and being open to switching your polka dot print dress for pants in a tapestry print. With the baroque print being quite powerful and eye-catching, it's best to pair it with more neutral pieces and solid colors. But if you want a striking look, pair your baroque pieces with other prints or sequined items. With such a royal-looking print, it's easy to end up with fun and dressy looks everyone will want to recreate! So don't be shy and trade your plain tees and jeans for this luxurious print.  Learn how to wear this trend by reading all the tips the fashion bloggers below have for you!

YouTube Fave: The Ready Set

Jordan starts his playlist with a video entitled Sexy sax man, which he describes as "a gentleman with a flowing mullet and amazing clothes. He goes into public places and plays George Michael songs on the saxophone, which is beautiful and artistic in a way and always very commendable." A piece showing great talent!
