Wedding Gowns

2008-10-15T11:05:00.000-07:00

I apologize for the long time that I haven't updated this site of mine. I changed shift for my work and things just went crazy and so stressing I could not even touch this site. I am still busy right now but i felt the need to update this site with the latest fashion trends.

And here it goes, June is too far to think of. But wedding gowns, wow, they too have their own moment now.

While many brides-to-be would prefer to live up a fairytale-like wedding, some fashion-forward brides-to-be may want to see themselves catwalking in the aisle. Could you blame them? They just can’t help but feed their appetite for fashion that even their most dreamed-of-moment will be clothed by their fashion antics.

Now here are some of those trendy wedding gowns that those kinds of women would surely love to be inspired with:

J Mendel, Ready-to-Wear Spring 2008
For the disco-loving diva who’s about to wed, J. Mendel’s Halston-esque gown gives off a groovy, glamorous vibe. The dress’s halter-top silhouette begs to be worn with ’70s-inspired shoulder-grazing earrings. (http://trends.glam.com/photos/features/wedding_dresses_for_fashionistas)

Marchesa, Ready-to-Wear Fall 2008
For those who don't wear pure white well, Marchesa's delicate grey gown provides a sophisticated and flattering option. Tiers of ruffles, ostrich plumes and asymetrical accents complete the vision of nouveau chic.

Monique Lhullier, Bridal Spring 2008
In keeping with fashion’s sweetly girlish trend, Lhuillier offers up a number of diaphanous confections. With a ruffled neckline and flattering cinched waist, Lhuillier’s flower-child gown will flatter a variety of styles and shapes.

Carolina Herrera, Bridal Spring 2008
The New York designer’s bridal collection shares the same delicate tailoring and ladylike silhouettes as the black-tie gowns she sends down the runway each season. (http://trends.glam.com/photos/features/wedding_dresses_for_fashionistas/)

Jumpsuits

2008-10-15T10:56:00.000-07:00

Just like all of the other vintage looks and styles which keeps on reappearing in the surface -- the jumpsuit is back! These Dark and elegant or fun and flirty wear are just as elegant yet pictures out real simplicity.

These louche jumpsuits are back in the limelight after they have gained their popularity and became the favorite of '70s disco queens. Stella McCartney's runway first debuted these sexy one-piece ensembles which are replacing the dress as the most effortless red carpet style.

Color Blocked Dresses

Color block is in style right now. Have and give it to this cutie for putting your own unique spin on the look. Go for a dress with two or three coordinating colors. For more fun and youthful look, go for a couple of coordinating bright colors. Make the color composition just perfect, elegant but looking casual at the same time.

This dress is delightfully bright, a graphic mix of navy, orange and yellow. (http://www.thefusionboutique.com)

Stripes Top

2008-08-28T11:12:00.000-07:00

I am a self-confessed heart-er of stripes! I love stripes! Horizontal stripes tops, at that. There is this cool illusion when watching a woman wearing a stripes top. Her waist area becomes smaller!
This is a fashion trend which we sometimes accentuate with a wider belt. There are wider stripes and pinstripes ones. Some rays of sunshine in your top.
This thin-stripes top is great for women with huge frames. (http://frombetsywithlove.com/?cat=219)

High-Waisted

2008-08-27T10:00:00.000-07:00

Who would ever want to be last when it comes to fashion trends. Every lady would be happy to wear and have the latest trend. They opt to be updated with what's in and what's hot nowadays. And now, here comes what was hot when we were still babies. The high-waisted bottom for women. There's a high-waisted shorts, high-waisted skirt, and high-waisted pants. And nobody in hollywood has forgotten to wear them.
We wear what's in and what's set by the designers to become hip and fashion-conscious. But we should wear what's comfortable and suits our body shapes.
I believe, a high-waisted bottom is not for girls who are pear-shaped. Because a high-waisted one would emphasize the bottom part of your body.
Here go the girls who pulled the high-waisted pants, shorts, and skirts.Fergie, Rachel, Mary Kate, and Kiera in their high-waisted pants. (http://colorizacion.blogspot.com/2007/08/hated-high-waisted-trousers.html)

They say you can express yourself through the clothes that you wear. Yes, but there are also other ways to express yourself and the mood that you're wearing. Like the accessories that you wear, they give an attitude.

Boho Headbands

2008-07-29T13:08:00.000-07:00

Bohemian wearing of headbands is wearing headbands with a twist. I and my sister once tried it with our little sister when she joined this mini-pageant in their school. They had to wear a casual dress, and casual as it was, we added some spice on it.
Bohemian headbands can be a thin piece of cloth, braided string, some come in leather-looking, and too many styles to mention. They look great when wearing long skirts and some "sando" or white blouses with flip flops on. Really looking like a Bohemian. Other than that, they also suit your everyday look and sometimes even when you're wearing Chanel like Lindsay here:worn with mini-black dress and leather hand-gloves. (msmaterialgirl.blogspot.com/)

why bigger bags are C O O L

2008-07-28T13:27:00.000-07:00

we can put anything in it without worrying we might have replaced something because it is outside the bag. It is good for traveling. Daily things that we are using may be in it. A book for traffic, sets of keys, tissue, make up, rubbing alcohol, lotion, cologne, a big wallet, umbrella, etc. And we sometimes even want to change our shirts if we're too fever-y because of the sunshine heat. So we put some clothings and the bag doesn't give a damn!(http://www.bagsnob.com/2007/10/)

bubble shorts, bubble dress

2008-07-28T09:12:00.000-07:00

Bubbly, big, balloon-y clothings are one sure hit nowadays. They were actually in with the style last year. Bubble shorts and bubble dresses are not only cute to be looked at when worn by a girl, but they also help in hiding unauthorized body parts that should be hidden but keep on making their legacies. Hehe.
Bubble shorts can help in defining a big or small butt. Huge or not that huge, it creates an illusion that a woman has perfectly-shaped behind.checkered bottom-clothings are now in to most ladies. (endless-memory.blogspot.com/)

Scarf, for better or for worse

2008-07-25T09:17:00.000-07:00

It is, I think, a must-have in every wardrobe. It can be used as a belt, replacement of a jacket, a head-protection against the heat of the sun, or even used as tool for hiding your face. :)
Arafat scarf, as what they call it, is a hype today. Here in the Philippines, it is mostly used by our Muslim brothers. And is most prominent with the Abu Sayaff.
I think the hype became phenomenal after those suicide bombings, world-renowned threats done by the group lead by Osama Bin-Laden.
Worse as it is, the fashion industry or fashion-minded people put it in a positive way. They started a trend, and that is wearing the scarf in a more fashionable way.

I remember my elder sister having a pair of red jeans when I was like twelve years old. And now they're back! They come skinny to look more sexy and because skinny jeans are like the best cut for now.
Wear it blue, purple, yellow, orange, green, red. And pair it with a cute printed top or anything you're comfortable with. When printed, you can choose an upper clothing with prints that have the same color as your chosen pair of jeans. And some doll-shoe flats, or a high-heeled pumps. Some teenager even wear them with Chucks!
I would like to have a purple one! Just like Jessica Alba here:http://answers.instyle.com/showthread.php?t=112

I've been hooked up with fashion since I was gaining my lady-ish senses. And so, as what I have planned, I'm launching my fashion blog. I've been a fan of celebrity blogs. We all know that celebrities, hollywood stars would not want to be last in line when it comes to fashion. Expect posts and entries in here which will mostly feature celebrities who wear the latest trends.
Being a fashionista is wearing the latest fashion, what's in, and being updated with the couture, designers' world. I just wear what's comfortable and trendy and what can be bought by my hard-earned cash. ;) Call me whatever you want!
First stop, since it's the summer season in the US, the latest trend is the long, printed, and comfortable dresses matched with the easy-to-walk on and very classic flats or roman sandals. It actually becomes a trend here in Philippines nowadays. Iwa Moto was seen wearing this kind of fashion on the FHM Night (only with high heels).Leighton Meester wearing the long dress and flats (www.popsugar.com)

Even Angelina Jolie who's so picky in what she wears (mostly black) joins the club. (www.popsugar.com)
