FASHIONISTA: BUM takes on a more defined look with its “My ATEEtude : I AM NOT TYPICAL” collection

BUM takes on a more defined look with its “My ATEEtude : I AM NOT TYPICAL” collection After playing around with risky colors like neon brights and loud prints, local clothing brand BUM takes on a more subdued, but still equally exciting and defined, design approach for its back-to-school collection called “My ATEEtude : I Am Not Typical”. 

According to Benny Reyes, the senior merchandiser and designer for BUM, loyal patrons can expect this new collection to still bear the brand's signature “rebel/emo” look. What they should watch out for are the new elements that would give BUM a distinct feel. 

Neon brights, for instance, would still be in this back-to-school collection, but they're now used only as “accents” to enhance I Am Not Typical's new focus: digital prints. 

“Digital prints are all the rage now, they come in different forms. And this trend will continue throughout the rest of the year.” 

BUM is also introducing pieces that have a camouflage design for a more rugged feel. “We have camouflage jackets. We also have camouflage pants for our girls line.”

The concert will happen on April 30 (my Birthday) and it as much as he would fill malls and tours, it will not be hard for him for a full house. 

We do expect that his loveteam partner Kathryn Bernardo will be there and he will be singing songs from his certified Platinum Album. Himig Handog favorite "Na Sayo Na Ang Lahat" will definitely be one of the most expected song for that night.

Skintec Scents and Hair Care

Hair and skin care is something that we do take time to groom. Because we want to look and smell at our best. Like me who is always in a hurry, would find myself doing a lot of effort in fixing my hair. And I do love to experiment with my hair, I do several hairstyles, hair color, and the clothes that go with it. 

And I always like to know the different hair care products out there that will be able to keep my hair managed and groovy. That is why I would try products, local and imported, though some of them are expensive to maintain. Sometimes I would be frustrated and would wish to be without hair than have one but in a very bad shape.

JUAN MINUTE SPOTLIGHT: Daniel Padilla

Teen Pop stars come and go, sometimes unremembered by the public. And some of them I don't know of, even their names although I am updated with entertainment news. But I would like to take note of the new actor Daniel Padilla and how he is making waves in the industry and also with an insane number of fans and followers.

Daniel Padilla is the son of Rommel Padilla and Karla Estrada and the nephew of the "Bad Boy" of Philippine Cinema, Robin Padilla. Born April 26, 1995 and currently part of the ABS CBN Teleserye "Princess and I" as Gino.

REEL DEAL: Behind the Scenes of "Princess and I"

With teleseryes left and right might bore you with the same formula of story plot, ABS CBN's Princess and I have proven to be a cut above the regular Primetime programming. And to make a unique show is not easy, as this involves a lot of conceptualizing, taping, editing, and more. This one I say had the potential being a hit given the plot and production.  

With just on its first 8 weeks, it has garnered an average of almost 40% TV ratings, interestingly enough, is also one of the shows that I was anticipating this year. Now we get to know more about the stars behind the "royal" teleserye.

FASHIONISTA: Bag to School with BUM

BUM shows the young how to go back to school in style

Standing out at school doesn’t mean you have to constantly challenge the rules and break your school’s dress code. 

So before you walk down the crowded hallway again, make sure you’re clad in cool pieces and armed with the right accessories that would reflect your no-nonsense rebel attitude. 

Taking off from its successful “Teevolution” campaign, which called forth an outpour of vibrant colors, bold prints, and graphic ethnic patterns, innovative brand BUM helps the youngsters today stand out by upping their style quotient and street cred before the school year starts.

Veering away from the normal and the ordinary design concepts of most local clothing labels, BUM comes up with stylish yet functional bags that carry the brand’s style philosophy: the Modern Goth Look with a touch of Glam Rock (think studded pieces, motorcycle jackets, tapered pants, oversized shirts, and the like).

This utilitarian concept was made casual by BUM, turning motorcycle jackets into cropped ones, and with notched collar jackets for boys. They can also go for the “casual cool” look with chino cuffed pants that allow them to swing from schoolwork to play without breaking a sweat.

Princess and I Makes It On PH Top 3 TV Programs
