Best friends Monica Urquijo, Jam Acuzar, and Sandra Soriano play dress up at Las Casas de Azucar in this LCP x Lanai Manila x Philippine Tatler collab
We are two friends who were former magazine editors. Having moved onto other things, we both realized that the creative flow the publishing world used to offer us was missing from our lives.
