Mrs. Fields® kicks-off the tradition of Christmas gift-giving with its Holiday Gift Ideas 2011 Collection.
It’s a bit peculiar that fashion’s arguably biggest moment for 2011 was a wedding. But the world watched in awe on April 29 as, after months of speculation and guessing games, commoner Kate Middleton stepped out from her London hotel room in a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The classic, Grace Kelly-esque dress minted the new duchess’ status as fashion icon, and made Burton, her late mentor’s protégé, a star designer overnight. A few months later, the dress drew a crowd of 600,000 when it was exhibited at Buckingham Palace.
Dubbed “A Mixology of Style,” The Ramp’s Holiday collection kicks off the New Year with a bang. The homegrown retail brand serves up accessible glamour for the holidays, featuring on-trend frocks and separates that are easy to layer and style to create different looks.

Part 1 of 2 It’s the season to be jolly, so put together enough outfits to tide you over each and every holiday event in style, until the New Year’s.
Studying at UP Mindanao always feels like one is home. The relatively low number of students (compared to the bustling Diliman campus) makes every interaction, whether in the classroom or on the hallway, personal and warm. Back in college, I lived through this kind of campus lifestyle for five years and it seems, today, there is no end to it.
