Why You Should Wear Pink

Growing up, Pink was never a favourite colour. I never grew a soft spot for it. I’ve learned to appreciate it more, though. But I will still choose some other colour to wear or experiment on other than Pink. I’m just not too comfortable with it, I guess.

The NAVY-Black Style Guide

They’re saying that NAVY is making a comeback. They say that it’s the new black. Now, all I can think about is the 90s fashion era when Navy used to be a popular colour alright. Talk about de ja vu. Heh. Question is, are we ready to tackle this trend?

White Summer

Yes. The word’s out. White is the must-have colour for Summer. I found this adorable white dress over at Mango a few weeks ago. It’s perfect worn alone, layered or even as a coverup. Had it not been for the Philippine Fashion Week coverage, I would’ve told you guys about it sooner. It’s not […]

Style Guide: The Belt Drape

As promised, here’s my first style tip on how to use the fashion accessory, belt, to come up with certain looks.

Topshop Jersey Dress for Work

Since I started work a little over a month ago, I’ve been scouting around for decent work wear. I’ve been on several shopping escapades but, sadly, I haven’t really added a lot of new pieces to my current wardrobe.
When I saw this Jersey Dress over at Topshop, I practically drooled, uh — er… nevermind. LOL. […]
