YStyle chills out

As we snail our way to traffic this season, rush to meet deadlines and face last-minute shopping, we at YStyle do not cease from celebrating this season and treating our highly regarded contributors. Last week we celebrated w ith  a relaxing shindig at the Director’s Club at MOA for a special screening of Fred Claus — a heartwarming and humorous tale for the holidays, especially for those ready to climb up the wall due to the madness of the season. The highlight of the evening was when Motorola generously donated must-have stylist phones to raffle off to our dear contributors.

And to our dear contributors, without your dedication to our vision, the YStyle section wouldn’t be where it is now.

Claire Diokno

Since there is a lot going on with the dress, she decides to accessorize with a single piece: a vintage Florentine gold ball on a chain, given by her mother. She loves the piece because it is her way of expressing her style without being over the top. Claire is a Shu Uemura makeup artist.

Maureen Disini

Maureen is into somber hues but is wearing color for a change. Her J.Lo style peg is J-Lo from the block, which is why she wears a striped shirt from the US and shorts from Mphosis layered with her sister’s puffy jacket. To add to her look is an LV scarf with hoop earrings from Rustan’s. Maureen is the fashion editor of Philippine Tatler.

Ricky Diokno

A hairstylist for Kiehl’s, Ricky wears an orange-striped button-down shirt and a pair of kick-ass jeans that he found in Hong Kong plus a pullover from Folded & Hung. His festive style peg is pairing a bright color with a subdued hue. He decides not to wear accessories since the jeans are busy enough.
