JP Arrieta & Alvin Liwanag (@aulvinbhvr)

Real life couple JP Arrieta and Alvin Liwanag will inspire you to dress up and wear matching outfits with your loved ones! The stylish duo counts couple dressing as their quality time together and draws insipiration from different content creators (They love Josef and Hannah of @joannahstyles!), films, music, and runway collections. They may live and breathe fashion but they also love travelling and would someday want to try sky diving.

How do you describe your sense of style and what's your go-to outfit?

Mara Tanchanco (@maratanch)

Mara's love language is coffee. While she's not polishing her latte art skills or perfecting a smooth cup of joe, you'll find her cooking in the kitchen, whipping up the tastiest vegetarian-friendly dishes. Mara isn't just an advocate for eating healthy meals. you can also take cues from this TV commercial model and aspiring model if you want clear and glowing skin. She definitely has a trick or two up her sleeve just for you.

What's a K-drama or TV series you can watch over and over again?

The Bold Type

What is something you think everyone should do once in their lives?

Live on their own! During my first job, I had to live in a condo away from my family, and the experience taught me so much about myself. I had to manage my finances, buy my groceries, pay my bills, cook for myself, clean up after myself, and take care of myself when I was sick. It was a period of character-building!

JL Crespo (@guy.skin)

Twenty-five-year-old JL Crespo has always been in love with fashion. In fact, he started as a freelance fashion stylist seven years ago and later on branched out into beauty as he discovered his love for skincare and beauty through the Hallyu world. Like you and I, he likes watching and reading on his free time, and you will mostly spot him trying out different cafes in the city.

What's a K-drama or TV series you can watch over and over again? 

I’m a huge anime fan and my no. 1 go to would probably be Hunter x Hunter.

What’s the last song you listened to?

Getting Closer by Seventeen

What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

Skincare or perfumes.

Donna Magat (@donnamagat)

Donna's day job, working in their family-owned paint maufacturing company, may be a far cry from her true passion but it doesn't hinder her from living her best life. She finds acting, taking photos, and getting dolled up as her creative outlets that make her feel her true, free, and uninhibited self.

Sight-seeing or shopping?

BOTH omg.. I'm a shopaholic but I also love appreciating our nature and discovering new places

Wardrobe piece you can't live without.

Melissa Denishka Chua (@melissadenishka)

Melissa works in the fashion biz as a regional digital marketing manager, but on her off days, she loves to travel and discover where to order the yummiest food. However, she's also not opposed to a night in, binge-watching lighthearted K-dramas like Mr. Queen, Our Beloved Summer, and Crash Landing on You.

How do you describe your sense of style and what's your go-to outfit?

Je Ne Sais Quoi. I usually go with whatever I feel like wearing for the day! Ever since the pandemic though, I opt to grab easy-wearing monochrome looks!

If you could have dinner with anybody in the world dead or alive who would it be and why?

Steve Jobs cause I wanna ask him if he ever thought the future of Apple was going to be what it is today and what might be his hits and misses that could've led to its success today.

Who's your fashion or beauty hero?

Definitely Princess Diana! She has a unique way for her looks to do the talking. She was confident and brazen despite the conservative norms & unprecedented events back in the day—a true icon!

Nikki Regalario (@spicycinderella)

Nikki's childhood nickname is Kikay, an apt moniker for this makeup- and fashion-loving 24-year-old YouTuber. You can easily spot her around the city taking long walks with her furbaby, all dressed in her fave outfit combo: crop top and baggy pants. Oh, and did we mention she's a longtime K-pop stan, too? Yup, for a decade now!

What is something you think everyone should do once in their lives?

I believe it's important to spend the day with just yourself. Have a staycation with yourself alone. This surprisingly allows us to relax and think, moreover realize what things we should prioritize on. Spoil yourself in that one day and be reminded that the most important person in your life is yourself.

Euphoria

Food you hate but everyone else loves.

Ann Geron (@anngeron)

Ann's on a journey of self-love. She recently left her day job for a little breather so you'll find her to-do list filled with non-activities: slowing down, relaxing while listening to music and writing poems, and dreaming about her next beach trip. Of course, her path to self-love includes a well-dressed Ann. Her style is "a manifestation of her eccentric, fun-loving, and old-soul personality" that translates into a white tank top, bell-bottom jeans, and high-top Chucks.

Who's your fashion or beauty hero? Why?

Lauren Bacall. Clean lines, structure, and trousers—she was a master of sophisticated yet comfortable fashion. She carried herself with confidence, spoke her mind, and knew how to rock a suit.

Mariel might just be our next bet to top model competitions. This aspiring model loves her time in front of the camera as she's been joining workshops and school pageants since her high school years. But while she's not practicing her runway walk, you'll catch her binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy, cooking, or finding the next best red lipstick to keep in your purse.

Adi Amor (@itsadiamor)

Adi will inspire you and I to live sustainably. She's a fashion girl through and through and loves to hunt for one-of-a-kind pre-loved items, proving you don't need new stuff to look fab. Her lifestyle also rings true to her beauty routines. Adi even founded her own sustainable beauty brand!

Sight-seeing or shopping?

Shopping is sight-seeing with the option to take home what you sight-see haha

What's a K-drama or TV series you can watch over and over again?

I love crime conspiracy alternate universe type of series’ like Sherlock Holmes, Elementary, Fringe and the like. I also like funny ones like Friends, Emily in Paris, and the like.

Who's your fashion or beauty hero? Why?

Audrey Hepburn. I love her elegant style and how just her presence in movies transforms it into something so beautiful. I also like all her advocacy work and her personality is lovely. She’s definitely someone I would befriend. In a way, I resonate with her because all she wanted was to live a life she loves

Carmela Fernandez (@carmelafernz)

Carmela might just be your new fitspiration! This fitness junkie will inspire you to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. She also has been bitten by the travel bug, and is all too willing to share the best spots around the world that you'll want to visit, too! You'll find her in athleisure 'fits day in and day out, as she heads to a fun ocean dive or an exciting match of tennis.

What is something you think everyone should do once in their lives?

Ooooo that’s tough… I think everyone should go on a Safari in Africa. I’ve been on multiple safaris and there’s something humbling about being in the wild and away from technology.

Ana Balmoris (@anabalmoris)

Ana is a born performer. As an events host and radio DJ, Ana loves talking to people, making them laugh, and inducing instant sing-along jam sessions or dance parties with her choice of music. While her talent mostly harnesses her fun personality and soothing voice, Ana can easily be your style peg, too. If you're a hubadera girl, Ana's OOTDs will surely inspire you to be confident in your own skin even more!

Up for an adventure? Brittnee is your girl! Get ready to have a blast and try everything under the sun with her as she believes we'll only live this life once. That applies to fashion, too, so you'll never find Brittnee in drab clothes. Preppy and colorful 'fits are her everyday uniform.

If you could have dinner with anybody in the world dead or alive who would it be and why?

Your life as a movie title.

Dazed and Confused

Kiele Brawner (@kbrawner_)

Kiele is dabbling into new things lately. From putting up her own food business, discovering a new sport (tennis!), getting into K-dramas, to finding out she's a natural at being a mom to her furbaby, she's just getting started in living her best life. Style-wise, she's also in a self-discovery phase. While her instinct lets her reach for neutrals, every now and then she finds affinity to adding a pop of color into her wardrobe.

PHOTO: Kiele Brawner ILLUSTRATION: Bacs Arcebal

Victoria Beckham. I loved watching her style evolve over the years since her Spice Girls days! She's still serving looks at 47 and it doesn't look like she's slowing down anytime soon.

Veronika Rivera (@v__rivera)

Veronika's finding her way in the fashion industry as a designer but while her brand is still under the works, you won't see her fiddling with her thumbs. This accounting and management graduate is exploring everything she can, like trying out social media management, making TikToks, and finding cool new places to eat at.
