Thank you so much for featuring me! I was born in Colombia but I moved to France when I was 17 to study and decided to stay here. I now live in Paris and love to share my journey on social media.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
I love to identify a few key pieces for each season, so I don’t overshop. I typically look for inspiration in the Vogue app, their streetstyle section is great to identify new trends! I love to shop from 12storeez, theditstudio, mango and most of the high street names.
How is a typical day like for you?
I typically wake up around 6-7 am, I try to meditate everyday for 30 minutes to an hour and then I read or I get started with my day. I either spend my day out creating content or working on a project or I spend it home glued to my computer answering emails and editing content. On the weekends I like to take Sunday afternoon off my phone and computer to spend some quality time with my loved ones.
What 3 things do you enjoy doing most in Paris?
Going to a delicious restaurant, having a picnic in the summer or grabbing a hot chocolate in the winter and just walking around Paris and looking at the architecture, the beauty of this city is everywhere!
Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn or try but yet to find the time to do it?
To speak Italian, is one of those things I really want to do but other priorities always come first and I’ve yet to do it!
If you could have a superpower, what will it be?
To fly! It would be so much fun!
On a scale of 1-10, how much of an adventurer are you?
If we’re talking about like going on a physical adventure, trip around the world style, probably a 5. But if we’re talking about professional adventures, probably a 10!
What do you not get about guys?
I think I do get guys actually, I think good communication is key. No one is completely irrational, even guys.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Angela. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
To me sexy is an attitude, anyone can be sexy if they believe so first themselves.
Actually my fashion style is like an aesthetic and casual look. But it is also based on my mood and trends. Sometimes I prefer the Korean style and sometimes the Parisian style, but still casual overall. I draw inspiration from everyone.
Like, inspiration could come from anywhere and anyone and anytime. So, actually inspiration could also come from my followers. But most of the time, I explore Pinterest before I style my OOTD.
Do you follow a regular beauty or exercise regime?
I follow a beauty exercise and regime but am not an expert, as I only do some basic exercises to keep my body fit and healthy.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
On a scale 1-10, I am an 8 out of 10 foodie. Where there is good food, it makes a good mood.
What are 3 fun things you like to do in the city you live in?
First I like to explore all the aesthetic and historical places in my city, Jakarta. In Jakarta, we can find various historical and aesthetic places that are the result of a mixture of cultures and cultures, such as in the Kota Tua or Glodok areas. Many historical places are very good to explore and take pictures there.
Besides that, I also like exploring new restaurants and shopping in the North Jakarta or Central Jakarta areas, as well as relaxing and having a coffee in the South Jakarta area. Lastly, I like late night drives or just walking around Jakarta enjoying the silence at night.
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
I have a lot of hobbies but the most favorite hobby is traveling, like when I travel, I learn and see different cultures and different aesthetics that others might sees in a different POV. I also like to travel because I really enjoy meeting new friends.
Travel also makes me feel grateful for the beauty of the world and makes me realize that there are many things we don’t know. Sometimes, travel gives peace for those who are taking a short break from our routine. I also have some interest in sports. I really like doing sports, like basketball, swimming, ice skating, cycling, etc. Especially if I do sports with friends or my family.
Would you rather have the power to control minds or teleport?
I would rather have the power to teleport, because I could travel for free and I could sleep a little bit longer, and blink in just a second to attend an event or anything.
What do you not get about guys?
The thing I don’t understand about men is making cat calls. not all men. But cat calls happen frequently.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Hershania. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
Sexy is not only about a beautiful body and face, it’s all about your attitude and mind. Sexy is being confident and smart. Sexy is being kind and generous. Sexy is a way of thinking and acting wisely regardless of other people’s background.
Hey loves I’m Felicia. I am a micro influencer based in Singapore! I usually work with local photographers who contact me for shoots.
I’m currently still schooling right now but I may consider signing up as a freelance model soon!!
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
Pretty much Pinterest is my go-to source of inspiration!
There are tons of trendy fashion styles ranging from high street fashion to soft girl aesthetic 💐💘
I usually am more open to trying different styles so long as it complements my body shape and boosts my confidence in general.
I usually prefer shopping online since it is cheaper than retail stores, which means that I can purchase more items (save save save $$).
How much of a foodie are you and what are your favorites?
OHH I’m the biggest foodie when it comes to desserts 🍨
I’ll go to the extent of travelling to cafes/restaurants that are out of the way, since most unique pastries or desserts are always hidden somewhere HAHAH.
I love love Korean cuisine as well! Tteokbokki, BBQ, Bingsu … AHH the list goes on!
Which flavor best describes you?
I would say chocolate 🍫..
I love them in every form (cakes, sweets, drinks, ice cream)
It’s funny how I would never get bored or sick of chocolates since they come in so many different varieties! Which correlates to my openness in exploring new ideas and different experiences despite having strong opinions.
Do you believe in any superstition?
I definitely believe that Karma exists in the world and it could happen to anyone.
It taught me to be careful of how I treat others as actions do come with consequences.
Have you been in an embarrassing situation that is funny now when looking back?
HAHAHA, as a kid I’ve been labelled as the clumsiest girl 👧🏻
There was an incident where I was running towards the washroom in a luxury mall overseas and fell in front of a LV shop while a huge crowd stared at me…
Me being the most dramatic kid EVER, I cried and I told my parents that I couldn’t get up like I was about to die.
NGL though my acting 🎭 skills was pretty on point…Should have pursued an acting career honestly.
If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?
I want to learn the power of being confident and advocating self love.
It’s hard when there’s social media in the picture and there’s bound to be comparisons made…
Being fixated to the ideal beauty standard stops people from realising how unique they are and everyone has their own insecurities as well.
We are all humans and it is normal.
What turns you off on a date?
A guy that talks continuously without listening, showing disrespect, and splitting the bill on the first date.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Felicia. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
It means being yourself in the moment. Embody positivity in your body, practicing what you preach.
I grew up originally in Metro Manila, now residing in one of the most peaceful beach provinces, here in La Union. I do cook a lot; it became more than a hobby because I’m happy when my family and closest friends’ tummies are full.
I also started an online business when the pandemic started, it was a Sushi Bake and Pickled Mango business. I am a very outgoing person and I love to travel. Before, city life amazes me but now I have come to realize that simple island life is the best.
How will you describe your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
I was raised in a nice household, where being appreciative is a must. Owning fancy clothes and bags gets me sometimes but shopping in thrift stores is what I love the most. I appreciate people and their small businesses, because for me, I would rather choose to wear something that was made from pure hard work rather than just wearing something for the brand and price it possesses.
If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?
If I could learn anything in this world, it would probably be able to teach others to share and be kind to themselves and to the people around them. The world that we are living right now is filled with so much hate and envy, If I could just teach people to be kind, then we could have a better place to live in. Not everyone is having a great day, choose to be kind always.
What favorite past times do you have?
Since I am living near-shore, I used to do short surfing when it allowed back then, but oftentimes cooking is really my thing. I am also doing a livestreaming from time to time, to share about my day to my viewers and friends.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?
10! Since cooking is really my thing, I love trying different delicacies every now and then. For me, food is the gateway to the soul. I love food that much.
Would you rather have the ability to fly or to talk to animals?
For me, I would rather choose having the ability to talk to animals. For years, we have seen different violence to animals and it pains me to see them being the tester for the things that us humans use. They do not have the ability to speak and so they cannot fight back when they’re in pain. Animals deserve safe space too, and if I could, I would do something for them.
Which 3 accessories do you always pack in your luggage when you travel?
Basically, I always travel light. The top 3 important things in my bag or luggage would be wallet, phone and of course my garments. Not all areas are selling clothes or slippers so it is very important to pack at least 3 sets for security.
What turns you off on a date?
I do not want to be engaged in someone who does not have respect to the servers, waiters and waitresses. I do not like being with someone who is rude to people who are working in service. Also, the first thing I’m looking for in a date is when their nails and teeth are clean.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our question Patty. One question before we end. How do you define “sexy”?
For me, the word “sexy” is often stereotyped as a sexual thing. No. For me, sexy is when a person knows what he/she is doing, is driven and is very independent and intellectual. Sexy is not just a term to describe a woman’s curve on her body. Sexiness is when you are dedicated and you know your strength and weaknesses. Sexy is about being passionate about yourself, and being able to be of help to others.
Hello, I’m Lexi, 24, from Kuala Lumpur. My full-time job is a Great Eastern Risk Planner, and my part-time job is as a leading shipper. I like to do sports during my free time and meet some new friends.
What is your fashion style like and where do you get inspiration from?
A lot of styles I like, I like to try any style but still prefer the minimalist style, simple and comfortable. Mostly inspired by online bloggers, including Instagram KOL, Tiktok and more.
Do you follow any beauty or exercise regime to look so fabulous?
Yes, I do follow a lot of fitness talent and yoga teachers to learn how to get a better body shape and healthy life.
How is a typical day like for yourself?
I like to fill up my free time with a lot of activities, such as working, brainstorming to boost my side business and do some yoga or light exercises before going to bed.
Which 3 fashion accessories are most important to you and why?
For me, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces are most important because they will add some highlights to your outfit. By wearing different accessories with same outfit can also show a lot of styles, such as elegant, swag or sweet, it really depends on your choices of fashion accessories.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?
I’ve always wanted to travel abroad with my loved one, but I haven’t had a chance for it because of the time and the pandemic situation.
Which flavor best describes you?
The flavor that best describes me is spicy. I’m energetic all the time, like to socialize with others and sometimes a little bit grumpy when things are not going as well as I planned, but I’m trying my best to manage my emotions. I like to challenge spicy food as well.
What do you not get about the opposite sex?
I don’t understand why boys like to play games so much. They can even ignore or quarrel with their girlfriends for playing games.
How do you define “Sexy”?
I think sexy includes both physical appearance and personality of that person. No matter what a person did if he/she has self-confidence, it is very sexy. Also, people who have a perfect figure and wearing some fitting outfits that brings out her advantage, I personally think that is very sexy.
Hi, SimplySxy Thank you! I’m doing great just a bit busy with work and vacation. How about you I hope you are great too right?
What is a typical day like for yourself?
On my average day of work.… I start the day checking my social media, haha, especially my e-mails and Instagram. This way I can reply to clients and get everything organized at the start of the day…while I enjoy my current role, I am looking for an opportunity to learn new skills and work with bigger clients.
After that I’ll go work at school and enjoy teaching with my students. On the weekend I just relax at home, reading, watching, listening to music, but sometimes I like to hangout with my friends and enjoy the coffee and take some pictures. (I’ll tell you, my best thing to do is sleeping all day and all night, feeling lazy and doing nothing at home haha).
Which 3 types of Thai food do you recommend that everyone should try when visiting Thailand?
Well…. Normally all the world already knows Thai food is the best! They might know “the best dishes to eat in Thailand” like Tom Yum Goong (spicy shrimp soup), Som Tom ( spicy green papaya salad) Tom kha kai (chicken in coconut soup) but I would like to suggest you a different way.
I’m glad to tell you here if you come to Thailand. What Thai food should you try first? The best Thai food recommendation for me are 1. Pad Kra Pao (Pad Kra Pao is a stir-fry with holy basil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, chilli, sugar and salt.)
2. Laab. (Laab is a spicy meat-based salad with Northeastern Thai roots, also known as the Isaan region. This is not a Western salad you are used to. Instead, Laab is a heavily spiced meat salad with mint leaves, cilantro, red onion, kaffir leaves, lime juice and plenty of chilis.)
3. Mookata. Mookata is not actually a Thai dish as it’s a cooking method with a hot pot. But it’s so good, that I could not resist adding it to this list of best Thai dishes. In the centre of the hot pot, you can grill the meat and seafood, while on the sides of the hot pot, you can boil your veggies and noodles. They are all my fav!!
How big is your bikini collection and which are your favorites?
Well…I can open my store for them haha. You cannot imagine how big of my collections! I love all of them but I prefer two piece swimming suits.
Which country or city will you love to visit if given the opportunity?
The country I would most likely want to visit is: Switzerland. This country is best defined by its natural beauty and geography. Switzerland is surrounded by Germany, Austria, Italy and France, all great destinations. Thus, there is a huge and significant effect of English culture over here.
If you could do anything in this world, what will it be?
Well there’s one thing I can think of right away and that is to fly – like a bird. No mechanical gizmos, just up up and away.
But in real life, I would like to visit a lot of different countries, learn more different cultures, try different local food and the world, not fearing for my life.
Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?
Going to the wrong classroom and sitting there for a lengthy period of time before realizing that the topics of discussion don’t fit and now you’ll look like a bad-mannered student, exiting class just as it began. It was an embarrassing moment but I can tell my friends a joke story haha.
What is an ideal first date to you?
The perfect date may be different for different people. For one it may be a long walk on the beach, while for another, a dinner and movie would be ideal. And then, of course, there are some whose idea of a perfect date is a bit more adventurous. Perhaps a night on a mountain or a bike ride. For me, I like to watch the sunset on the beach or somewhere great. It is romantic right?
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Kyla. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
The word “sexy” has been used for so many different purposes, it’s almost polarizing (and still makes me cringe when I say it). For one example, “sexy” used to be a bad thing. If you were sexy, you couldn’t also be smart, accomplished, and kind; your one goal or gift was to seduce and be ogled (the horror!). It often came with “too” in front of it: a “too sexy” skirt hem stopped boys from being able to focus in school (how dare we!?), and a woman who was “too sexy” was a danger to all women everywhere.
What a load of bullsh*t, huh? No wonder many women have a complicated relationship with the word “sexy” and our own sexualities. For me “sexy” actually means something very different. It’s not an item of clothing or a label that puts us into a box. Instead, it’s a badge of honor to describe a powerful energy we all have within us.
Hello, thank you for the feature! I am Celeste, a 22-year-old who is currently an Undergraduate pursuing a Bachelors in Business (Marketing) in Singapore. I am currently juggling between my last semester in University and internship at the same time.
I have a passion for fashion, hence the reason why I decided to join the Marketing Sector after dropping out of Accountancy after my first semester as I realized, why not combine what I like into my studies instead of something I’ll get bored of. I like to read, paint, listen to music and definitely shop online/offline.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
I started becoming conscious of what I wore when I was 17 and tried to find my personal style as I grew older. My style has evolved over the years after following fashion influencers such as Xenia Dots, Willabelle Ong and Waikei Tong. I also get inspiration from Pinterest.
I mostly shop at online brands such as The Style Soiree, Princess Polly, Lovet and Supergurl as it caters to the vibe that I am going for. Sometimes, I pop by Love Bonito, Zara and The Editors Market to browse through their collections. As someone who currently interns at a popular footwear brand, most of the pieces that I own definitely compliments with the shoes.
Do you have any favorite quotes or mottos you use regularly?
One of my favorite quotes comes from a poem written by Rupi Kaur, “and here you are living despite it all.” I even got it tattooed on me haha! As someone who was diagnosed with MDD at the age of 17, it is a reminder to me that no matter how tough things get and how tired I am from living, I pushed through it with the help of my best friends and doctors. Honestly, without them I would have really consider the route.
Another quote that I live by is from a poem by
“ And then I realized
I was far more deserving of my love
Than the one who broke me.”
I realized that the person I once loved didn’t deserve the love and care I provided. I needed it for myself and honestly, being single allowed me to heal myself and love myself even if it’s just taking a nap or buying clothes. It’s about what makes you happy on the inside.
Which cuisine or type of food do you like most?
Definitely Italian Food! You can never go wrong with PASTAAAAA, especially bacon aglio olio!
If you could time travel, what will you like to witness or change?
Honestly, I would like to change the year my maternal grandma passed away. I was 11 when she passed on and she didn’t get to watch my achievements as I grew older. I miss her very deeply and honestly, I should have spent more time with her. I think she was the only one who gets me in the family and looked out for me despite her age and health declining.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to do or learn but yet to find the time for it?
I definitely want to learn how to do pottery as I am interested in making my own decorative piece to be placed in my room! However, with my busy schedule I haven’t gotten the chance to do so. So I’ll probably learn it after my finals and work load is lesser for sure.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a superstitious person are you?
I would say 8 out of 10 especially during the Hungry Ghost Festival. I ain’t playing with the ghosts for sure, because I’m a scaredy cat.
What turns you off on a date?
OMG, I’ve way too many but I will share my top 3. One of them would definitely be being rude whether if it’s with the waitress or bartender. Generally rude to everyone. I would definitely not want a partner who is rude to me.
Another would be someone who underdresses, if you turned up with slippers on our first date when we planned to do something romantic, I would definitely walk off ASAP.
Lastly, a guy who doesn’t talk. Might as well let the crickets talk for him. Haha.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Celeste. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
To me “sexy” is feeling comfortable in your skin regardless of your body shape, having acne or even the colour of your skin. When I was younger, I was never confident about how I look or hated how my skin was not as flawless at the pretty girls but as I grew older, I started getting a little bit more comfortable in wearing clothes I liked despite having bacne. It’s not that I chose to have bacne but because of the medications I’ve taken made it that way haha! Now that we are in 2021, women are becoming comfortable and unapologetic on how they look despite their body shape. That’s what I call Sexy!
My name is Angeline Cash, aged 20, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a Law student studying in Brickfields Asia college, currently in my final year, perusing my Degrees in L.L.B with University of London. At the same time, I am also a social media influencer (KOL), a part-time emcee and a live band singer.
What inspired you to be a singer and emcee?
“Music speaks more than a thousand words”. I always find this quote meaningful, as nothing is more powerful than music to express my inner feelings, not even words.
My given name is actually “Whitney Ong”. I find that having a nickname “Angeline Cash” is kind of cute and easy to be remembered by my friends and others with the name “Cash”. I have a strong family gene, me, my mom and dad all love music and we are compassionate in the entertainment line. My mom and dad both are artists, drama actor and model, and that’s why they named me “Whitney” following “Whitney Houston”. I started singing at a very young age of 3. My mother (also a famous Astro CGM and recording artist) used to mentor me, teach me how to sing. I have joined many competitions and performances to gain experience and achievement. Currently, singing at several places such as like cafes (powerplant, caffeiness and many more).
As for emcee, well thanks to my wonder “mama” again! (Also, a professional emcee, with more than 20years experience). She’s the one who taught me how to become a professional emcee. And now, I do emcee hosting’s, broadcasting, and event host. Also working for Cheras leisure mall for almost 4-5 years.
Which fashion accessories are a must have in your collection?
I don’t really wear a lot of fashion accessories, because I always like my outfit to be simple and nice! But if it’s a must, I guess maybe a necklace?
Is there a beauty or exercise regime you follow regularly?
Yes, there is. Well not too complex, I usually have my own set of skin routine, cleanse, toner, mask, serum etc. I have regular exercise and workouts but not going to gym.
If you could change one thing about the world, what will it be?
Of course, at this time, the only thing I would want to change is the healthcare of the world. With the current pandemic, people are suffering from the virus or facing the fear of getting the virus. I hope that I have the ability to turn back the clock, everything would be back to normal, everyone could enjoy ‘freedom, peace and health’. So that 2021 would be a better and advanced year as predicted.
Have you been in an embarrassing situation before that is funny now when looking back?
Yes. There was one that I’ve came across, pretty embarrassing for me. Well, I guess not everyone would encounter. That is because due to having a pair of very long legs, standing at the height of 173cm. The incident happened on a fine day, when I went out shopping with my friends, there was one little girl walking towards me and she suddenly slammed over my legs. And I was shocked while she was screaming and crying to her mom saying that she ran herself over ‘a pole’: “Mummy I knocked onto a pole, my head hurts!”. And the next moment when she looks upon me, she realized that I’m not actually ‘a pole’ a but just a tall girl.
What is a funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?
Well one guy actually called me through the phone, saying that he is a friend of my mom, whose got my number. But the funniest part was this pickup line is too old school and plus, how could a 20-year-old young boy even know my mom. He ended up creating and telling me stories and memories that how he knew my mom and how he got to know me from my mom. A funny attempt indeed, but it worked, and we are friends now.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Angeline. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
The term “sexy” for me, is not just a physical posture or a pose or a form of dressing and outlook of oneself. It’s something within a person, or I would rather say a person to have a personality to be “sexy” or “self-love” perhaps? A lot of people define “sexy” with just outlooks of how a person portrait him/herself.
However, in my perception, it’s not about how revealing your outfits are, it’s about the personality within you. Being “sexy” is not a crime or rather a shame, it is the way of how you express yourself. At the end of the day, what I think is, do and wear whatever which makes you feel the best, and never to care about how others think about you, be yourself, do what makes you happy and live a life.
Ever since I was a kid, people tend to call me kikay for being so girly. They always misconceive my looks up until now; they thought I was nitpicky. Maybe it is because of my fashion style, the so-called chic fashion style. Chic means a classy look produced from the combinations of a few items done with minimal effort with a touch of very girly style.
I believe that I was born to be like this, to wear chic fashion style outfits, this is who I am, and if people who love this kind of style are pretentious, then I am guilty. I don’t have a specific inspiration in fashion styles, but I admire Zendaya and Heart Evangelista’s style a lot.
Do you have any hobbies or interests?
I do love singing and playing musical instruments. I started singing at the age of one. I also love writing, speaking in front, acting, modeling; to be specific, I love performing. I am a watching debate and extemporaneous speech enthusiasm; maybe because I want to be a lawyer someday, hopefully, I can be one.
All those things were the things that I’m doing every day because it is all my passion, and I am very thankful to the Lord God for giving me talents that suited my hobbies and interests.
Which 3 things do you love about in the city you live in?
The three things that I love in the city that I live in are, first people tend to be generous with one another. Residences were helping each other amid the pandemic. Second, our mayor is trying his best to expand the state of our economy and, now we are the 1st class municipality in the province of Rizal. Lastly, the officials were preserving the culture and history of the place.
If you can be a fictional character for real, who will you be?
If I can be a fictional character for real, I will be Carmela Isabela. Carmela Isabela is the main character from my favorite Wattpad book. I always wanted to live in the past generations wherein everything was simple. People were careful with their decisions, and being impulsive was not a choice. Love is pure and sincere, God is the center of all things, and you need to put a lot of effort if you want to communicate with someone.
Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but have yet to find the time for it?
Whenever I want to learn something, I always find time to study or to learn it. I believe that when you want something, you got to find ways to grab it. Remember, life is short. So, do it now, learn it now, or lost a chance forever.
What incredible life hack do you know that is invaluable to you?
I guess the incredible life hack that I know is putting honey, calamansi, and aloe vera in your face overnight and, you will see that it will be glowy and whitens your face in the morning. I don’t know if it truly works but, I guess it does cause I’m doing it sometimes.
What is an ideal first date to you?
Maybe the ideal first date for me is an outdoor cafeteria date night. I do love cafeterias because I’m a fan of sweet food like cakes, cookies, etc. I also love being outside at night because it is cold, relaxing, and magical, especially when it has lights above. Lastly, I like it because you can bond and talk for hours, you can both get to know each other more in that way.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Jessyca. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
For me, being sexy is having confidence. By accepting and loving yourself from who you are and by embracing your imperfections and being uniquely you, that is sexy. It doesn’t confine with society’s standards, by being flawless, petite, mestiza, tall, or having a so-called coca-cola body. It is all about your mindset, your acceptance, which derives confidence. Let us all be our definition of sexy so, chin up, slay, and embrace yourself.
Hi guys! I am Jessyca Morielle Manliclic, I became a part of ABS-CBN Bida Star Gandang Naturally Fresh co presented by Eskinol, Star Hunt and, Star Magic. I am also an influencer in yes style, celebasia, and different starting local brand in the Philippines. I am a YouTuber, please do subscribe to my channel. I am a featured live streamer on kumu, you can download it on play store and app store, I have a blue check there. Please also do follow me on my Instagram accounts, for my product recommendations. My mother Jea Patulot- Manliclic is my hairstylist and makeup artist in all of the photos that I am uploading, you can message her in her gmail account if you wanted to (jeamanliclic@gmail.com). You can also ask questions in my curious cat account. Lastly, I would like to thank SimplySxy for having me here.
Hi I’m Franchesca Maryein Espinas! I am currently a graduating Communication Arts major in the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. At the age of 21, I am currently the CEO of a transportation and real estate corporation located in Manila, Philippines. I started young in the business because I knew that my heart belonged to it. I enjoy working with them a lot and developing good relationships without noticing the workload.
In my spare time, I am a content creator, model and brand ambassador to certain brands like Shopee, Ponds, Rebisco, Carefree and Silka. To be honest, I am astounded that a company like SimplySxy contacted me to conduct this interview. As a neophyte in the industry, I knew that being part of this interview is a huge privilege for me to share my knowledge and capabilities through my platform.
In the later part, I aspire to be a criminal lawyer that is of service with the Filipino people. Justice in modern times is not easily sought. I wanted to become someone that uses her platform for the betterment of the community.
What inspires your fashion style and where do you love to shop from?
The fashion style that I have is more of a modern chic style with the touch of an alluring accent. The femine side of me brings out my personality that loves anything pink, pastel and glitter. At the same time, I enjoy being posh through the branded items I choose in order for an outfit to stand out with class. My style icon is Heart Evangelista which is the darling of the Philippines. She incorporates her modern day look with a designer item that easily captivates the eye of the public.
Also, I prefer heels more than flats to accentuate my style better. I shop at H&M and Zara because of their loath recyclable trends. Zara’s wardrobe is built around hero pieces, and trend items that are cheap and transient. It is a formula that works for more frugal customers like myself.
How much of a foodie are you and what are your favorites?
I am currently on an Intermittent Diet that is within the 20:4 scale but within the eating window, I usually go for anything dipped with vinegar or cheese. I love takoyaki and egg waffles if it is a cheat day. Thus, I could say I am a foodie. I have a refined interest in international cuisine and I like trying new flavors.
Recently, I have indulged in Mexican cuisine because the spices really captivate the whole meal. Once a guy captured my taste, It really caught my interest for I knew we would delve into the same taste.
What hobbies or interests are you into?
Besides the hectic schedule that I have, I enjoy buying properties at an early age. I invest into lifelong properties that do not depreciate in the market. Recently, I just bought a house of my own or maybe for the future haha! Kidding aside, investments drawn into land is always a win because every year there is an increased land value depicted by the market.
And as a normal young adult, I like to go out and shop at the leading retail malls in the Philippines. It is exciting to go to trendy places and get some photo shoots that are easily posted all over my social media. I am a very active social media user and I share the products and services I encounter most often.
Do you believe in any superstition?
My family believes that superstitions exist because my ancestors lived in the province. They often say that superstitions have been shown to promote a positive mental attitude. Although they can lead to irrational decisions, such as trusting in the merits of good luck and destiny rather than sound decision making.
I personally don’t believe in its existence but believe that we make our own destiny and future. It is only aneffective motivation which is a basic desire to exert control over one’s environment. When no natural cause can explain a situation, attributing an event to a superstitious cause gives people some sense of control and ability to predict what will happen in their environment.
Are there any quotes or mottos you like to use regularly?
There is only one quote I live my life into and that is, “A woman remains to be unstoppable after she realizes she deserves the best”. It connotes that a woman will overcome everything that is meant to destroy her.
Growing up, there has always been an implication that women have limitations. But, I would like to negate that ideology and change it to be a girl with a mind, a woman with an attitude and a lady with class.
If you could learn anything in this world, what would it be?
Aside from the aspiration I have to be a lawyer, I want to learn how to use protective range weapons in order to protect myself and my family. There is this connotation that women can’t shoot or aim for the right target and I want to defy that existing norm. Growing up, I always admired people who protect the marginalized and the voiceless. They give me chills whenever they save people in danger. The knowledge that will learn regarding the protective gears will be used for the better good and not to cause harm alone.
What do you not get about guys?
One thing that I don’t get about guys is that they already have the ideal or close to perfect girl, they tend to mess up or cheat. These instances cause women to develop a barrier or trust issues into the red flag acts that they committed. Lately, I realized that finding the perfect gem (partner) is not that easy. So when the time comes that the perfect girl arrives, remember to give her all the love and attention she needs and make her feel that she is the only girl in your life.
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Franchesca. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
The ins and outs of what makes a person attractive is a topic that virtually everyone has spent a great deal of time thinking about – it would be safe to say that it only stops being at the forefront of the average person’s mind after that person has finally decided to settle down and withdraw from the dating scene. I could say that smart is the new sexy.
Someone who’s able to blow your mind by picking your brain can be so much more attractive than someone who obsesses over their appearance. They keep your interest by evoking yours. Intelligent people have so many layers to them, so it takes time to get to know them. But one thing is guaranteed: peeling away those layers will leave you wanting more.
I am going to have a collaboration with M.C Portraits and Events, Ryan Ayong Photography, Jhe-cka Haute Coutture and Make-up and Beautyloft Salon.
