Marni for H&M is here!

I cannot resist not posting about this amazing collaboration!

Slowly but surely, I am holding a grudge against H&M (or whomever is responsible for branching out).  Why do we still not have H&M here in the Philippines!?  Come on!  They did Versace already, and now they have Marni!  I need those prints!  Especially when they come as affordable as H&M!

Here’s the entire lookbook and trust me, you’ll want them all.

This is the part where I would wish money grew on trees.

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?

To be dressed by Jason Wu

So for this coming year, I aim to be more chic in my office wear.  In the past year, I have been slacking off.  Really.  The fact that I’ve been dormant in Chictopia is already bothersome.  So yeah.

Just as the subject states, I wish to be dressed by Jason Wu.  I think mostly because his styling and clothing are effortlessly chic.  I just love it.

Should I manage to pull a look like this, I am definitely sure I won’t be able to control my swagger.  Hahahah.  Everything with a structured coat is sleek and fashionable.  Pair with the right eyewear, I can be the cool cat. :)

I don’t usually fancy pink, but I’ve always had a soft spot for peplum cuts.  With the pounds I’ve gained, my hips finally had that pretty round figure.  Although the rest of my body needs far more tweaking, emphasizing that area is not a bad thing.  At least in my eyes.

Sheer bow top, sleek pants, peeptoes.  Amazing.  I believe this would make me look soooo pogi.  Hahahaha.

And when I finally lose those MAP pounds, and regain my tiny waist (or gain a really nice curvy one) and lose that muffin top, I believe I will celebrate in this outfit.

Fitter 2012 it is then!  For the sake of Wu. :)

Dude shirt = Lady dress

I’ve seen this before, especially since I love Pinterest.  I’ve seen the photos like this one, but I’ve never really seen how it was done.

And then, someone from Facebook posted the adorable video of how this girl did it.  It just motivated me to do something like this with my brothers’ old shirts.  I wish I can say I’ll use Dylan’s but he’s not really a long sleeve guy (I am yet to make him believe that he really does look dashing when he’s all dressed up).

And I strongly suggest you try it too! :)

Interesting isn’t it?  And inspiring too.  Now, where is that shirt…
