  • “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    There will come a point in one’s lives that their wardrobe will be dominated by corporate clothes, seeing that 80% of their days are spent in the office. But this doesn’t mean one has to get stuck with uptight outfits that do not exude style.

    Here are wardrobe staples that will keep you looking professional and confident without sacrificing style.

    The Classics

    Nothing says classy more than the classics. Make sure to have on hand a pair of pumps in black and nude, as these can match any attire and give off a sleek look. Likewise, it’s a must to have a well-fitting little black dress that can easily go from day to night.

    A professional tote

    A tote bag that’s big and durable enough to fit all the work files and possibly even double as a laptop bag is another OOTD staple. It’s ideal to get this all-time favorite work bag in black to suit any occasion and outfit.

    Smartphone with deluxe design

    An item that goes hand in hand with one’s nine-to-five is a smartphone. Leave complicated color schemes behind and stick to those in neutral colors. Embrace simplicity with Vivo V17Pro’s models in Knight Black and Crystal White, this Vivo phone sits upon translucent glass and automatically gives off distinctive taste and style. After all, it’s always a good idea to pair excellent function with polished form.

    Lightweight blazer

    This is the easiest trick in the book if one wants to pull together a professional outfit fast. Secure a piece that’s dressy and corporate at the same time.

    These are the staples that one must have in their wardrobe whatever industry they’re in. Stay fashionable and be confident in professional looks that are simple but stands out.

  • Fast Charging is the smartphone feature that will change your life

    Fast Charging is the smartphone feature that will change your life

    In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, a smartphone is a must-have appendage to keep up with one’s daily grind. But one feature that rarely takes the spotlight, yet very much deserves it, is Fast Charging.

    Go-getters would know that the last thing that they want is for their smartphone to slow them down. And the best smartphone of choice to date, that will be up and running as you are is the Vivo V17Pro.

    Powered with 4,100 mAh battery, the V17Pro guarantees long battery life despite multi-app use. In layman’s term, one can enjoy a reliable phone that is versatile enough for quick document work, incessant communications via messaging apps, constant browsing, and even games, without it dying on you just after a few hours.

    The Fast charging feature is the life hack you need, especially if your mantra is Rest and Reset. It’s most important to have a phone that will only require as little time to reset as you are if you’re the image of up-and-about.

  • Vivo V17 Pro’s dual selfie camera lets users “shoot beyond limits”

    Vivo V17 Pro’s dual selfie camera lets users “shoot beyond limits”

    Shoot beyond limits with Vivo V17 Pro dual front camera, exclusive selfie apps.

    There was a time when taking selfies was as basic as capturing one’s close-up image, often to highlight an appearance or a spectacular scenery in the background. While selfie shooters yearned to capture more elements in their frames, they were limited mostly by the technology of the front-facing cameras at that time.

    In recent years, advancements in optics technology and software development have given birth to front-facing cameras that offer better resolution and image quality, as well as AI-enhanced photography apps. These, in turn, have transformed selfie shooting, from a mere trend, to a skill, even an artform.

    Today, companies like Vivo, are taking the lead in pioneering technology that enhances the smartphone experience. This includes taking selfie shooting to new and higher levels.

    Just a few months after unveiling its V15 Pro with the world’s first 32MP elevating selfie camera and an AI triple rear camera, the leading global technology company has already launched V17 Pro, the second flagship smartphone in its V series of midrange smartphones.

    Now, improving from its predecessor, the V17 Pro boasts of another world’s first, an exclusive pair of front cameras—a 32MP main camera with f/2.0 aperture and 8MP 105-degree super-wide-angle camera—which ensures clearer and fuller selfies, in whatever environment.

    Much like the V15’s selfie optics, the V17 Pro’s dual front cameras are tucked behind the smartphone’s notch-less Super AMOLED Ultra FullView™ Display, nestled in a wide pop-up mechanism that elevates as quickly as it retracts.

    With the premium smartphone’s dual elevating selfie camera, users will never need selfie sticks to capture “groufies” or the splendid panoramic view behind them. All they have to do is access the super-wide-angle camera and “shoot beyond limits”.

    For nighttime selfies, the front camera gets ample support from Selfie Softlight that lights up dark images and an exclusive Super Night Selfie mode which captures and combines multiple frames into one image to make one’s face stand out, especially in low-light conditions.

    There is also a “Pose Master” feature which suggest several poses to match various photo scenes and backgrounds, to make one’s selfies even more creative.

    Aside from its elevating dual selfie camera and AI powered and enhanced selfie apps, the V17 Pro also boasts of AI quad rear cameras—48MP main camera, 8MP super wide-angle, 2MP bokeh, and 2MP super macro camera—which can capture super macro images from a distance of just 4 cm., and super wide clear images, even in dark surroundings.

    A selfie (right) using the Vivo V17 Pro’s Super Wide-Angle camera captures a fuller background, compared to a typical selfie.
