Work Wear Monday: Go All White

Diane Von Furstendberg

Mondays, I understand, would normally mean meetings and such and the idea of getting back into the start of the daily grind which will last 5 days, it’s not really a surprise that a lot of people don’t really look forward to this day. But why let these thoughts bog you down? […]

Style Inspiration: Circles and Ruffles

This week I bring you another round of style inspirations and it’s all about details again. First up are circle appliques.

This Satin Circle Chiffon Vest from Topshop had reminded me of how a particular detail can brighten up a piece. Though a vest can be great on its own but adding details that jump out, […]

Style Inspiration: Ruffles and Frills

Taken a bit by surprise, I’ve encountered Ruffled and/or Frilled necklines on several tops as I surfed earlier. Quite interesting detail, I must say.
I guess this is due to the fact that I had sported an old long-sleeved top last night. It’s very feminine with its tiny flower prints and ruffled cuffs plus a wide […]

When I saw this Frill Neck Raw Edge Vest over at Topshop, I was reminded that I am looking for a top that has a unique neck detail like this one. It really doesn’t have to be frills and such, just something that makes the top look less of […]

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. […]

Mango Waistcoat Tachita

I recently received a Mango Waistcoat Tachita as a thank you gift.
Studs. Studs. Studs. On a vest!
I just can’t help but stare at it. It stares right back, mocking me, “do you have it in you to wear me?”
Studs are great accents. I see them on denim pants and skirts, also on leather jackets […]

Vest Up Savvy This Fall, Da Nang’s Highland Cozy Vest

Some people when they think of Fall, they think of layers, of covering up, of “to-hell-with-fashion-it’s-friggin-cold” kind of thoughts. However, there are some who think of tall boots, fur (faux fur, that is), pinch gloves and all those lovely clothes you only get to wear when the season’s cold.
Well, something like this savvy vest […]

What to Wear: A Roadtrip

It’s time for a quick getaway. I need to unwind. I’m dragging a friend to come with me. I sure need the company right now. And I’m planning to head to Tagaytay.
The place is just a 75 minute drive from where I am so, it won’t be that taxing but it’ll be far enough […]

Laundry by Shelli Segal Plaid Vest

Up your game as a working woman by jazzing up your typical dress shirt with a Vest.
It certainly made your top look powerful, eh? Just find a matching pair of trousers. slacks or pants if you prefer to be really mobile but it works with a skirt, too.
Not limiting the Vest to your work wardrobe, […]
