How Miss G’s Grew From Humble Beginnings
Passionate ever since the beginning, Miss G, the owner of the boutique, understands the struggle firsthand. Like many of us, she found herself in a fashion crisis before a company party, unable to find the perfect attire within her budget. Frustrated by the lack of affordable options in local stores, she took matters into her own hands. After purchasing a stunning gown online, she wowed the crowd at the event.
But here comes the dilemma: she spent all of that money on what’s basically an overpriced dust collector in her closet. Thinking smartly, Miss G decided to rent out the gown for ₱500. To her surprise, the response was overwhelming! The demand kept growing that she had to purchase more gowns.
Miss G, driven by her innate entrepreneurial spirit, quickly identified that gap for affordable but showstopping outfits in the market. Determined to seize the opportunity, she founded Miss G’s Gown Rental & Wedding Boutique, elegantly bridging the gap and making stunning attire accessible to all.

It had been a while since the lowkey but fashionable Adidas Samba graced and emptied most shoe store shelves last 2023. Worn by a roster of renowned IT girls like Rihanna, Hailey Beiber, and Hadid sisters Bella and Gigi for their casual streetwear, the Adidas Samba has now earned its name as the “best-known indoor soccer shoe of all time.”
Photo from Business Insider
Most sneakerheads agree that the Samba is a timeless icon, and for good reason. Its emblematic gum sole and three-stripe staple have sneaked into the closets of even the most fussy shoe aficionados. Though it has already strayed far from its origins in the terraces of football, nothing can still beat out its classy elegance and style.
It does seem like Adidas knows the very essence that gives the Samba its ageless appeal. When it was revealed that the Samba OG brand now comes in a nude and white pair, it was immediately considered a match made in minimalist heaven.
With the entirety of the OG in smooth, white leather and the tongue in suede, this pair is perfect for your aesthetic and minimalist OOTDs. It has the Samba Versatility Guarantee: you could pair it with anything – skirts, dresses, slacks, shorts, etc. – and it will look good. The kicker is its characteristic gum sole and three stripes, now in a sleek – but striking – nude color.
Photo from Pamper.My
While the Samba brand remains elusive, this exclusive nude and white pair has been spotted online for only ₱8,500. It is, however, only available to adiClub, Adidas’ very own membership program. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity. Add this to your cart now by signing up for free at adiClub. You can also explore this one-of-a-kind footwear on Adidas’ official Lazada and Zalora pages.
