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.

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 […]

Fringe Tiered Tunic

With all this talk on trends (hint: here, here, here and here), I can’t help but be reminded of that style inspiration I came across a while back. It’s seen as part of the current trend, slowly getting traction — granted that fashionistas don’t get thoroughly distracted by newer or overly hyped trends — […]

The Rocker Chick Look

I can’t say I aced the look but I gave it one hell of a try. I love the ensemble. I wish I had the accessories I have now so I could’ve worn it that day. Ah, well. There’s always next time, right? Lack of accessories or not, I still love it anyway.
I wore it […]

T2B Shopping: A Taste of Bangkok

I’ve never been to Bangkok, Thailand. I had plans to go with my mum a couple of months ago but the plans fell through. Bangkok is known to be a shopping haven, you see. All the gorgeous clothes, accessories and shoes at real bargain prices!
So, here’s how I cope. I buy stuff other people […]

T2B Shopping: Mango Tunic in Metallic Gray

I recently took advantage of a Mango sale — 50% to 70% off — and bought me some fashion goodies. One of the items I brought home is the Sleeveless Tunic in Metallic Gray, which I couldn’t really keep myself from buying. I knew we were meant to be together as soon as my hands […]

A Little More Tunic Love

And the love is for the latest addition to my wardrobe, the Smocked Grecian Tunic in Pink. Yes, it’s pink! I bought this top the same day I bought the Purple Butterfly-sleeved Tunic last month. I’m slowly putting colour in my outfits. I’m finding it quite fun, actually.
I’ve always been influenced by what my mum […]

T2B Shopping: Purple Butterfly-sleeved Tunic

Purple is one colour I’ve noticed I’ve grown a particular fondness of. LOL. Just take a look at one of the tops I’ve recently bought. It’s a purple butterfly-sleeved tunic that has this one-sided ruched effect on the hem. Fun.
I simply love the softness of the fabric. It’s cool on the skin. I like the […]

T2B Spotting: Bubble Tunic

Where? Superbowl Chinese Resto at the Megastrip, Pasig City, Philippines
She said that the top was a real attention-getter. People can’t seem to take their eyes away from it. It’s different. It’s unique. It’s a fashion statement.
I can’t say I blame those people who stared. It sure is adorable. And I’m calling it a Bubble Tunic.
The […]
