Alexander McQueen Prefall 2012

Since his demise, it has always been a wonder if anyone else can live up to the legend that is McQueen.  Architecture, finesse, structure and composure all at the same time spell the gigantic talent that rocked the runway with horned heelless shoes, decorated clutches, and an armor that would be the envy of every woman.

I am very happy that Sarah Burton has been living up to that standard.  You have to admit that when you saw the wedding dress, the first thought in your head is that she will not be a disappointment to the brand.  True enough, when I saw these pre-fall pieces, I just died.

Ah.  Maz.  Balls.  Zing.

Elie Saab Resort 2012

Here’s the thing when you hear about Elie Saab:  expect finesse.  Elie Saab’s Resort 2012 collection is just pure divine, with flattering cuts and amazing peplums scattered everywhere.

Every piece is flattering to a woman’s body, with the right mix of androgyny and femininity with every step.  What I liked best with the collection are the suits.  I’ve seen suits before, but not with the cuts in this collection.  Elie Saab managed to get me excited with office wear; it really need not be boring!  They just have to hug you in the right places.

I have very little intention to make this blog more about fashion, but with clothes like these, who can resist raving about them?

Why I hate drivers some times

Oh wow.  I can’t even believe I’ll say this, but there are just definite reasons why I hate drivers in the Philippines.  Mostly it’s because Filipino drivers often forget that they were once pedestrians.

Given that we do jaywalk and we do cross even when the red light has not changed.  And that we do ignore that SM Mall Of Asia guard who tries desperately to direct commuter traffic.  But still you have to admit, we are only given that much space in that wide a road to cross.

So you can only imagine how annoying this is.

Hoy Mister Kupal Driver!

Before you got your car using that amazing car loan plan you have with your amazing company from that amazing car dealership so you can take a ride with your amazing family and live your amazing life, YOU USED TO WALK AND COMMUTE EVERYWHERE.  So pwede ba, can you not be such a dick and occupy the one spot in the wide road where we can demand responsibility from drivers as douchey as you?  Because it is instances like this, instances when the SIMPLEST OF COURTESIES AND RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED, that turn Philippines in a not so fun place.  Just a thought.

Kthxbye.

Calvin Klein Pre-fall 2012

It seems like the fashion gods have heard my prayers.

Check out Calvin Klein Collection for prefall 2012.  It’s just adorable.  The lines, the cuts, and the pieces all speak fashion forward simplicity.  I mean, come on.  I’ve been with the bank for a couple of years now, and there are still moments where I am required to look corporate.

Hahaha.  There are more than moments.

Anyway, at least with this collection, being all business and sleek need not be dowdy.  Feel free to agree with me, really.  I mean, really agree with me. :)

Aren’t those mixed leather pieces just divine?
