Let's Get Laud!

Went shopping with my mom and sister over the weekend.  With our hopes to look for that one perfect dress for my sister and mom, we dared not to miss every boutiques at SM.  Hopping from one shop to another have led us to Get Laud!  The store is full of prints.  Clothes hanging on racks are vividly attractive. 

My sister bought one dress and my mom got two! The dresses are really nice, the cloth are so comfy and all reasonably priced!

Movie Mania: KILLERS

I am beginning another series of posts, not about fashion.  This time it'll be about movies that has captured my attention.  I am quite picky with movies.  I want the movie to extremely take my breath away.  I am a visual person so I am most fascinated with movies either full of action (not necessarily all bang! bang!), full of fun, full of love, and full of thrill and shrill.

The recent one that I watched and get awed with is 
KILLERS, a 2010 American romantic, action, comedy film that centers on a young woman who meets a guy who turns out to be an assassin,
starring:


 Katherine Heigl as Jennifer "Jen" Kornfeldt

Ashton Kutcher as Spencer Aimes

they dated...

 they blossomed into bf-gf thing

 they got married...

 and they got screwed...and of course it's a happy ending 

during there red carpet premiere


My Movie Rating: 10

Vintage Pleats and Plaid

Another vintage and thrift find for 10 pesos only. 
Had this re-worked: shortened the sleeves and hemline.
I just so love vintage.


Fashion Lesson on PLEATS:
The concept of the pleated skirt is thought to have originated in the 16th century. A common style of pleating during that time was the knife pleat, and it was used to gather the fabrics of petticoats and skirts to waistbands.
 dress is made in Tokyo, Japan... don't know how old this dress is
style of pleating - knife pleat
wearing: plaid and pleated dress - vintage & thrifted; white dress top with gold studs - random; brown belt - XOXO; lace-up red espadrille wedge - MNG

And oh, this is an update - it's May 31st and i just received an e-mail from Polyvore (to which i subscribed for any fashion related updates) 8 hours ago, and guess what...

my vintage pleated dress is just in time for the new trend:

Trend Alert: Pleated Skirts

Looking for a fun addition to your spring wardrobe? A pleated skirt, specifically the accordion pleat, is the fashionable way to go. Inspired by the 1950s, this trend is being reinvented in bold colors and fun prints. From mini to maxi, you'll love these flirty and feminine skirts!

So why not grab yourself a pleated skirt or a dress and be ready to rock this trend!
