Since we talked about florals on my last post, I couldn’t resist featuring this one. As soon as I saw it over at Topshop, it reminded me of the floral farewell. What are the odds, eh? Hehe. I’m writing an oh-so-floral post here. LOL.
Aside from that, I found it so […]

Just browsing through some dress options. I sort of miss wearing dresses. I’m noticing that I’ve been wearing a lot of jeans lately and it’s all due to the rain. Pah.
There’s something about the dresses that have been catching my attention lately. It’s like they have this uncommon fabric […]

A dress that holds a lot of promise. It’s the Beramot Dress by Dallin Chase. It’s a jersey dress with a scoop neckline, elbow-length sleeves and a drop waist with a drawstring detail plus, not to mention, a pleated organza peek-a-boo hem. It’s amazing that if simple words were used to […]

Pile Up and Oversize Me

Going for the layered look simply means wearing a pile of clothes. I don’t mean that you have to have 10 items worn over each other; just 2-3 to create dimensions to the over-all look.
I’m certain that fashionistas have been doing this for ages and they’ve already mastered the art of layering, mixing and […]

How about a Fan for a Dress?

Taking on that styling project I told you guys about a while back certainly has my mind reeling. I’ve been brainstorming, trying to capture certain elements unique to this day and age but still somehow can be classified as timeless, as well.
Determining which ones are over the top or too boring can be tricky. […]

Shop Find: B.C. Manila

SHOP: B.C. Manila
For Manila-based fashionistas, this is one shop you ought to check out esp if you’re one of them who loves glam and dresses.
For a brief history on how the brand came about, check out Style Manila. You can also see my picks there.

I Feel Pretty in a Dress

… don’t you?
Looking at this Tiered Full Dress from Topshop makes me feel pretty even when it’s all in my head.

I mean, I’m trying to imagine myself feeling the fabric against my skin; seeing the tiered full skirt billowing around my legs while I walk — in stilettos or flats. […]

Dress and Skirt in Drapes

An accent that is sometimes overlooked or over-used by some designers and fashionistas alike. It is after all something that’s not easy to make or to pull off, respectively. But remains one of the better styles made on apparel.
The previous night, the subject of making clothes was raised between a friend, who studied fashion in […]

Ah. The sexy little black number. My head is spinning from trying to figure out what to wear tonight together with the falsies I’m planning on sporting. But will this Ruched Bust Dress from Topshop be perfect for the Red Light Party? Is it, er, appropriate?
I squirm.
I squirm. Some. More.
I reckon it’s sexy […]

I’m fascinated with Vintage apparel. It’s not easy for me to pull it off but I’ve been constantly experimenting, hoping that I’d be able to wear them with comfort and ease. It’s not easy to find items that are not too flamboyantly retro or that are inexpensive. Though I could rummage through my […]
