CHARMAINE LAGMAN

Who A white are you ensemble wearing? skirt by Puey Quiñones, booties by Prada, black shirt by Jil Sander, and shorts by Lululemon.

Who are your go-to for hair and makeup? Gela Laurel Stehmeier, Patrick Rosas, Lala Flores, Chuchi Ledesma, Nathan Javier. For hair, my favorite is Jan Edrosolan.

What do you miss the most about attending events? Getting glammed up, the excitement of planning your whole ensemble, being with friends and seeing them all oh-so-regal and grand, hearing the pops of champagne bottles, being surrounded with the vibrant cheers and laughter, and, most especially, the tight hugs and kisses from friends.

Drink of choice? I love champagne or rose wine. For long nights, I devour on favorite vintage single malt whiskeys

What is something that we should always celebrate and be thankful for? I’ve also punctuated great little life moments like when my kids get a summer job, getting their first paycheck, a successful presentation, when a client praises my team. Any celebration, big or small, is really about taking a beat to notice the good stuff in your life. It can also be a reminder of our talents and abilities, skills and persistence. Drawing on those things can motivate us to strive harder and keep working toward our goals.
