Fun on your feet

Dear Rissa,

My dressing style is more classic, but I want to inject more fun without regretting what I’m wearing. Any style tips?

Start small and start with accessories! It’s the little details that make an outfit fun, or even unforgettable. Amazing shoes always make great conversation pieces among women, and we all know how footwear punctuates an outfit.

 Have you seen Melissa’s latest designer collab with visionary designer Jeremy Scott? The Brazilian plastic footwear brand puts fun in footwear again with this latest collection. It features timeless styles such as the mule, ankle boot, and ballerina flats in bright summer colors.

My favorite detail? All styles feature a mock air nozzle to hint at the inflatable pool toy inspiration! “Being my first foray into plastic footwear, I wanted to play with the concept of inflatable pool toys,” explains Jeremy Scott.

The ankle boots are perfect for the rainy season and for traveling, while the mules are timeless but look really sexy on the feet!  The pop of colors instantly injects freshness to your wardrobe.

Find your favorite Melissa shoes at TriNoma, Glorietta 3, Greenbelt 5, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM Aura, Alabang Town Center, Robinsons Magnolia, UP Town Center, Shangri-La Plaza East, Marquee Mall, Centrio Mall, SM Seaside and Ayala Cebu.

Hi, Lucy!

I don’t really put on makeup because I feel I don’t need it. I’m in my early 20s and I have very good skin, with not a single pimple. But sometimes, I want to put on a little makeup to look different. What do you suggest I do to achieve that? I don’t want to look too made up, just a better-looking me!

Oh, to be young and have flawless skin! If I were you, I would just curl my lashes, accentuate my eyes with wing tips, and highlight a bold, matte lip. You will look stunning, yet young still.
