I Heart Pullover - Burgundy Sheer

With the color of the vehicle in my background, I have actually blended in.  I am quite loving the burgundy color, or we can call it maroon, as what we (or maybe just me) were more familiar with and have known before the name marsala have surfaced.

I was fully elated to have scored another pullover which was in a color that I am indulging lately and in a style which expresses a romantic-feminism combo. Since I couldn't dare to strut in sheer so underneath the pullover was the peplum hem top to make the knit sheer appear as a long blouse.

The pearl accessories and the embellished peep-toes completes the ultra-chic look.

What I Wore:

sheer knit pullover -Handbook  / black peplum hem top - Forming / denim straight pants - Forever 21 / peep-toe shoes - Mags / pearl earrings - gifted by my mom / pearl necklace and bracelet accessories - Sigh Styles / sunglasses - G. Fiesta Mall

Discovering Brera

I have a new product brand discovery and the name of the brand is BRERA (Art Lab) made in Italy.

The brand BRERA  (Art Lab) is honestly very strange to me.  I have no single idea, nor heard about BRERA until I scored this precious gem from one of the vintage (possible second-hand or pre-loved) shops in one of the malls in Mandaue City.  The store sells branded vintage pieces like bags and clothes and is now a favorite of mine as I have bought another bag from their store recently- for myself and for my mom-  and definitely will be frequently dropping by to do some shopping in this vintage hub.  The sales lady has already known me by face and was generous enough to give me ample discounts with my purchases. 

I am not a bag lover and I have been repeatedly declaring this, as I am more of a clothes and shoes addict.  I seldom  buy bags for myself.  My arms are always wide open when it comes to bags as I receive gifts or hand-me-downs from either my sister or my mom.  It is always a surprise when all of a sudden I do shopping for bags.  

With sight of this purple-fuchsia-magenta color combo and that artsy design on the front of the bag, despite the price was quite high as I expected, but I went impulsive, more when I knew it was on 50% off sale. At first, I was somehow in doubt with the price but nevertheless, I got the bills from my pocket and paid without haggling as I was in so much awe with the design and the quality of the bag.  The sling bag never looked shabby, nor used, nor antiquated.  It was in perfect condition, just like a brand new item up for grabs.

I have not yet reached the official website of BRERA Art Lab, but their social media page in facebook did confirm how creatively and beautifully the bags are designed.  I am more amazed now. Kudos to the team who gave birth to the  brainchild of BRERA Art Lab.

What I Wore:
fuchsia dress (same HERE) - Never Been Kissed @ Robinsons Department Store / polka dot top (same HERE) - Cyecle /  fuchsia patent leather pumps - Payless / sling bag - Brera Art Lab / black stretch belt - SM Ladies Department Store / sunglasses - G. Country Mall / pearl drop earrings - gifted by my mom

I am now on a lookout for anything BRERA Art Lab.  I wish to own another BRERA Art Lab bag to satisfy my art cravings in a bag format.

Trend Alert: Fringe Details for F/W 2015-2016

One of Fall/Winter 2-15-2016 Fashion Trend is about FRINGES.

via fashionisers

Here's my take on this trend.  Actually, my selection is about the details.  You can find the fringe not on the entire apparel but rather on the hemlines on the sleeves and back of the top and on the hemline of the pencil skirt.

Denims are forever, would you agree?  But who can't resist the peculiarity of this denim skirt? With the stylishly cut and designed hemline and the fringe are twisted / curled for a very interesting finish, any fashionista would be anxious with a mischance.  I made some noise for this outfit by pairing my denim with saturated multicolored pieces - that cute and embellished knit sweater and my equally splashy pair of wedges.

I scored this top for almost two years and only until now that I took the perfect chance to wear it.  The turquoise top with fringe details has a length that reaches right on top of the waistline of my jeans which made me quite uncomfortable.  So I wore a longer dress-blouse underneath with a fluted hemline in sheer fabric to cover my waist-hip portions.

What I Wore:

sequined knit sweater - Cyecle / denim pencil skirt with curl fringe hemline - Lee Kwan / wedge - Mangga Dua Square in Jakarta, Indonesia / sunglasses and watch - G. Fiesta Mall / flower earrings - from Singapore

What I Wore:

blouse with fringe on the sleeves & back - M. Sixteen  / white dress-blouse - Acidic Flower by Uniq / denim jeggings - Jag/ white pumps - Payless / sunglasses - Aldo / scarf - Chic Vintage / earrings - Siam Night Street Market
