something Shiq

A paisley surprise :) 

Posting this backlog look which I had a few weeks ago for a client meeting. Due to some styling stints, wasn't able to post soonest. But here it is :)

Paisley prints are amongst the trending prints nowadays. It's good to know that there are other prints in existence aside from florals :) For this look, I went for shades of pastels. I'm a pastel aficionado, in case you haven't noticed haha Pastels are so much like candy. They give you a surge of those happy hormones. When I'm in a pastel tone, automatically, my aura translates to light, refreshing sweetness. I see pastels dominating til at least pre-fall season. For pre-fall, pastels are combined with neon, 2 color trends we still can't get enough of. Reinvention is key to keep any look sustaining. Unlike spring/summer 2012,  pastels are collaborating with cooler hues in preparation for fall.        

As promised in my earlier post, here are the complete set of colors of Shiq's pre-fall wallet collection. For sorbet lovers like me, you'll find your pick in pastels! I love my blue one! These purse go on fashionably for your mobile phones, or any miniscule neccesities you need to stash for that no-big-bag fuss.

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day?!... In tropical regions, such as our beloved Manila, pulling an all-out white is key to breezy chic when the temperatures rise. I'd like to think that dressing in fresh whites and airy neutrals channels the inner Coco in me :) The white parade, like life, is short. So go on adventures :)

The moment I saw this sheer embroidered top, I just knew I had to do an all-white. Amidst the explosion of color theory in the fashion scene (bursts of neons and pastels from head to toe), white suggests a breather. I love this top because the sheerness and delicate floral embroidery reminded me of pieces from the runways of LV Summer 2012. Oh, how I would love to get my hands on those saccharine-induced creations! 

What's good about an all-white is that you can also play with textures without sending off a red signal to the fashion police. This embroidered top balanced with this lace skirt gratuitously. Since I've already got some elements going on, I chose simple accessories. Opted for black tassel earrings to add a tad of drama and stashed a black purse for my miniscule necessities. 

Off to where in this white rendition? Sipping hot coco in the gardens of Antonio's Breakfast in Tagaytay :) While most girls would probably hop in the car wearing ever-trusted comfy pair of shorts (which I am not in any way contrary to :)), a scenic getaway also provides an open door to exercise one's flair for fashion. You gotta try it :) Have you?
