black n yellow black n yellow black n yellow

New fashion finds! Couldn't help myself when I saw this houndstooth peplum top while window shopping with my best girls. Houndstooth exude a christmas-y feel for me. Dunno why. Probably because of the christmas toy soldiers clad in this print? Whatever it is, this print has entered the fashion stratosphere a few months back, as far as the local scene. Worldwide, the print hailed it's presence a few 'seasons' back. The combination of peplum and novel print did it for me! And it was also on retail below a thousand bucks, so who couldn't resist?! 3 birds in 1 stone!  This print also came in a blazer (which my best gal took) for those who want to take it to a less frill spin. 

Here, enjoying my houndstooth with some black and yellow, LV ss 2013 inspired. Eye candy clear totes are back and are staying for the summer haul!

hey, i heard you are the wild one

While swarming through racks filled with the season's trends, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with so many pretty and interesting details to try on. But after meticulously scanning and getting acquainted with each clever innovation, I find myself ending up buying a lesser trendy piece or a much staple item. My fashion principle-- when you can, don't get preoccupied with the trend while it's hot. Either, you start the trend or revert to it once the commotion has died down, resurrecting it with sauve. 

So, i ended up with a classic lbd. The moment I got hold of this lbd, I instantly mentally assigned it to my 'must-have' basket.3 reasons: keyholes, peplum, and lbd.

Keyhole necklines are a fresh cut to get steering away from your regular low v-necks. Notwithstanding, keyholes, equally (if not better), spells sophisticated-sexy.  

Peplums. Peplums are a great waist-cincher. Reminded me of Charlotte of Sex in the City, and Blaire of Gossip Girl. 

Aldo- gladiator pumps

Backless keyhole. Need I say more?

Forever 21- lbd, gold collar neck piece
