Buttons, Sun Dresses and Black

Image: topshop.com
When I saw this over at Topshop, it quickly reminded me of the Stripe Cotton Sundress I featured a while back. They really do look similar, yea? But of course, this one’s noticeably black but the button detail is right about the same as the other one.
This dress is primarily a Sun dress but […]

Stripe Cotton Sundress

The idea of spending days in this heat pushes me to find ways to clothe myself with lighter and more comfortable garments. Dresses are a good alternative for more feminine moods esp when you’re simply going off gallivanting to some mall for a bit of AC time. Hehe.
I love the button accent on this […]

Gladiators and Fringes

We’ve been seeing a lot of this sort around. It’s the current trend. Gladiators, they call them. This marks the first time I’ve ever written anything about them. It’s not that I’m not aware of it, I guess I’m simply not so inclined. That’s not saying that they’re not pretty cuz they […]

T2B Spotting: Toga on Water

Blogging about fashion for so long has my mind programmed to spot post fodders wherever I go. I guess, if you’re always on the look out for something to inspire you, style-wise, certain details from ordinary situations which people would normally dismiss, you pick up. Somehow, it excites the creative part of your brain, hence, […]

Ophelia as a Dress

It’s the Vintage Silk I bought from SohoKarma last January. After wearing it as a skirt (several times, in fact), I decided to be a bit bolder and experiment on wearing it as a dress this time around. I had tried it several ways until I opted for this style.
It […]

Bermuda Shorts for Summer

I know some of you guys are still experiencing chilly days with sporadic good sunny days. Sorry but where I’m from, it’s scorching hot on some days. Summer is in full swing and all I can think about are clothes that will suit our weather and, sometimes, when it gets really bad, I reckon it’s […]

Summer Must-have: The Capri

Photo© 2008 Sasha Manuel
My vote goes out to The Capri as one of this summer’s must-haves. Apart from its casual comfort, it’s also easy to style. Outfit combos can range from urban street style to boho beach wear. It will all depend on shoes and tops you’ll choose to mix and match.
I bought the […]

T2B Shopping: LBD, U2

Who says every little black dress, aka LBD, can’t be worn casually? I’ve been fortunate to have one that’s flexible enough to be worn either way. It’s this piece I bought from U2 in Megamall one time — I reckon twas a few weeks ago — during one of them mall-wide weekend sales. Yea, snapped […]

Sleeveless Frill Blouse

There are days when you still want to dress up a bit, yeah? I’m talking about summer outfits. There are occasions when you simply won’t be satisfied with casual looks even when it’s very comfortable. You want a bit of the polished look. Something not too dressy and formal. Something that’s still fun to wear […]
