Trendspotting: Pajama Dressing

I am going to "bombard" you with more fashion (and not personal style) posts as I haven't done a lot for the past few months. Mostly, my posts were of my outfits or what went on in my life, or my thoughts on things so I'll try to go the other route and share things that caught my eye. (Besides I have yet to shoot more outfits soon! Gah!)
One of these is pajama dressing.

Busy Week

My Thursdays afternoons are usually reserved for blogging. My class ends at 12:30 on Thursdays and since it's Friday the next day, there's not much left to do, academics-wise. Since it's usually a 4-day gap between the latest post from the last one, all my stories accumulate. Not that I have a lot to tell about my life anyway; a bulk of my blog entries come from my musings, observations (of random people HAHA) and brain farts.

Wishlist Wednesday: Designer Bags Edition

Hello again!

I realized that I haven't made a Wishlist Wednesday post in so long (and I long promised I would make one of my MUST-HAVE bags). I also realize it isn't Wednesday anymore, so forgive this late post. On to the list then?

First on my list is a Chanel 2.55. It's been on my list since forever. It was named 2.55 because it was created on February 1955. It's a CLASSIC, 'nuff said.

Behind the Sparkle

blazer: Forever 21

skirt: H&M (gift from my friend)

shoes: SM Parisian

bag: OASAP

The difference between a great person and an average one is the extra work they put into what they do--big or small.

Have you guys read the latest Preview featuring Camille Co, Laureen Uy and Tricia Gosingtian? I just bought a copy and I thought it was amazing how Preview entrusted the cover to 3 of our country's top fashion bloggers.  I mean, it changes things for bloggers in general! Next thing I know, it might be Cheys, Lissa or Vern (or anyone) else up there.

Anyway, I read their story and realized that unlike what I thought (that they were entitled to their fame and it's easy for them to be famous and fashionable because they are rich, etc), a lot of work actually goes into the blog post (and the blog) before the entries are published. Tricia mentioned that it takes her 3 hours to edit photos and write blog entries! THREE HOURS! Me, I just post when I feel like posting and write what I feel like writing and I can do that in less than an hour. I honestly could not be bothered to resize photos like Cheys does because it's time-consuming (and mostly because I don't know how) and often, I'm just too excited to post away before all inspiration runs dry, but in reality, these things actually do matter. These can contribute to a good blog.

Trendspotting: Neons

(photos from their blogs)

With the colder season coming in, ushering the hotter season, I guess now you could say colors followed the change in weather pattern and literally went from warm to cold (from muted to loud)! But don't keep your pastels just yet, Camille Co shows that you can wear your pastels with your neons. Patricia Prieto wears a sort of muted version of a neon top. Meanwhile, I am loving Laureen Uy's unapologetically bright ensemble. If you're going neon, better go all out! I love that the way they dressed their neons reflect their personal style. Don't you think so? :)

Micro trend: YSL Arty inspired rings

Almost everyone loves these rings as much as I do! I've been spotting them on almost every famous Filipino fashion blogger I follow!

Laureen Uy wears one from Extremefinds on Cape Town

Camille Co wears a real limited edition one in Tweed

Cheyser wears one from ROMWE in Sequins and Studs

Kryz Uy in one from WAGW in You can bet

See? :)

Well, good news! My online shop StyledUP is selling YSL Arty-inspired rings!

Trend Spotting: Sheer

I noticed the sheer trend making its rounds on the blogosphere. From tops to skirts and cover-ups, no doubt we'll be seeing more of this trend.

Camille Co and Cheyser Pedregosa show us their take on the trend by wearing tops by SummerSault. Camille keeps her look polished by tucking her top into a pair of tan pants of while Cheyser keeps up with her whole effortless and relaxed vibe by pairing her top with a long necklace, skirt and boots.

Vern Enciso shows us that sheer need not be only limited to tops and skirts. She uses the sheer blazer to tone down her fringe top and tassel necklace.

Laureen Uy and Pauline Prieto love their sheer skirts! Laureen takes her skirt to fashion week, glamming it up with an animal printed top, a chunky necklace and Charlotte Olympia wedges. Pauline, also spotted at fashion week dresses down her skirt Coachella-inspired, showing us that effortlessly stylish model off-duty look we love.

Most important thing to keep in mind while wearing this trend is to wear the right undergarments.

So, how are you wearing this trend?

Trend Spotting: Feathered Earrings

Having been online a lot lately, I noticed how a lot of Philippine bloggers have been wearing these feathered earrings. I've seen them on

Ava Te


Aisa Ipac,
 

Tin Iglesias,


Patricia Prieto,


Camille Co


and Laureen Uy.



I like that it gives a pop of color and an added touch of quirkiness. I think they would also go well with the maxi skirt trend in completing that gypsy look. Notice how they each only wore one earring? The earring is long so wearing a pair would overwhelm.

Some stores you can get feathered earrings from are MARiS and CROW.
*BTW, I don't own the pictures. Got them from the MARiS page, and their respective blogs.
