Tonal Stripes

Interesting choice for fabric design. It does create dimensions to an item. Stripe, like in pinstripe, already adds personality to a piece. With the tonal style, it further accentuates and highlights.
Take for instance this Black Tonal Striped Tie-Waist Tunic by Generra, its simple look was made more interesting by the tonal stripes.

Pursed Purple

Purple. It’s the colour of fall. And the best way to start off with the trend is to dip your hand in some fabulous accessories — how about a bag?
Here’s a Twist Frame Cross Body Bag from Topshop. It gently combines the trendy colour with a classic vintage design.

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. […]

Sunner Carmen Top

Best way to enjoy Summer is to look fresh, clean as if you’re as bright and sunny as the days of the season. Wearing white will always fit that description. And boho seems to be the perfectly suitable style.
Weighing the practical reasons in going for this particular style, it’ll prove to be a smart […]

Work Wear Monday: Shirred and Bubble

Image: shopbop.com
Quite funny to start a series on work attires when ,in fact, I would, sometimes, work in my jammies. LOL. But I guess this is one of the ways that I cater to my fashion indulgences, note that I didn’t use the term frustration because I still can wear them if I want to. […]

I’m not the vest type but this piece, Magaschoni Chocolate Cashmere Banded Hem Vest, is a good temptation to start becoming one.
It certainly will give a different look to an outfit. For one of them chilly days but you can’t seem to hold out on wearing that gorgeous top. […]

I was just wondering. Will this Racer Detail Tank by Mason suit me? It reminds me of my modeling days. LOL. I remember putting together this outfit that was a mixture of rock chick, goth and glam. I loved it, of course. There’s something about that style that gave me a […]

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 […]
