A New Hue

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a fashion show at Abreeza Mall of Davao. The show was entitled "A New Hue" which featured the latest trends and colors of 2013 and the show also featured tenants of the said mall and the famous Davao Elite Fashion Group composed of the city's best fashion designers. It was definitely a successful show and the mixes, matches and designs were really eye-popping. I personally loved the creative designs of the fashion designers. They really showed how creative and playful Davaoeno artists could get.

For this year, the colors and patterns expected to stand out are base colors & patterns such as beige, khaki and linen; cool colors such as sage, goldenrod and cobalt; and warm colors such as cinnebar, creamsicle and goldenrod. These are some of the colors used yesterday.

The first set of photos are the sets from the tenants in the mall. These clothes were picked, mixed and matched by the designers. The featured brands were Nike, Debenhams Artwork, Promod, Tretorn, Parfois, Bambu, Mags, Soul, Blue Inc. London, Nautica, Ellesse, Sneaker club and Bauhaus.

 This next set of photos show the designs of the Davao Elite Fashion Group. Each designer really showed how crazy their minds are with these eye candy designs!

Viewing over 50 designs, it definitely was a learning experience for me as a fashion blogger and lover. A new year always means new themes, or in their words, "a new hue" for fashion. I am very excited to try out what's in store for the fashion world this 2013, and being in that show yesterday was a great start.

Congratulations to everyone who made the show successful!

Forever 21: THE GRAND OPENING!

September 27, 2012, Thursday -- SM Lanang Premier Davao City opened to VIP's and tenants. Not all shops were open but those that opened catered people who were invited to join them on their opening events. One event that I attended to was the Forever 21's Fashion show and ribbon cutting event. It was such a great experience for a lot of people, especially to those who are fashion-hungry! There were around a hundred people invited and everyone really dressed up for the cocktail event.

That's F21 at the ground floor

Ombre Indulgence

Ombre Polo Top: Oxygen || Ombre Studded Shorts: Jessica's Closet || Wedges: People are People || Matte Pink/Orange Lipstick: Excel Paris

Just before I start...

I am so sorry for the one week hiatus... Erick's grandfather died last week (God bless his soul) and I really had to help out with everything...

Okay, so about this look:

Gotta love ombre. I even tried to have ombred hair, until I decided to color my hair underneath instead. When I got this pair of shorts from Jessica's Closet, I was so inspired to make my own (which I actually blogged about too. Scroll down to see!). 

I wanted a balance in this look. I didn't want too much skin exposed since the shorts are really SHORT. Sometimes, you gotta know how to balance a look so that you would still be a walking doll, turning heads as positive responses. I, personally, am not used to pairing up a pair of shorts with a sleeveless top. I always have a cover up or an outerwear. That's how I balance. I already have long legs. I don't want more skin showing. :)

Fashion isn't just about wearing the latest trends. It's also about smart mixing and matching to get that perfect look you desire.

Thanks for dropping by! Do leave your comments about my look, aight? I highly appreciate em!

Mwah!

My Own Pair of Shorts

Artwork Top || DIY Shorts (my old Old Navy's) || Primadonna Booties || Denim outerwear from Gmall || SM Accessories Cross Necklace and Leather bracelets || Excel Paris Volume Uplip Lipstick

If you have read my previous post, well, this is an example of the style I love. This style is so me. :)

Yesterday, I decided to design my own shorts again after almost a year.

And now, here's the finished product!

I'm thinking of making more and selling em in my own online shop (called FADED and TATTERED) where I would also sell make-up (just like that matte lipstick I'm wearing)

I'm actually planning to sell made to order tops and bottoms and make-up, such as MAC.

So, what do you think?

Will you fancy these kind of shorts and make-up?

A Little Twist

Still at home... Please excuse the awkward facial expression.

Top & Robe: B&W Vintage || Leggings: OASAP 

This was what i wore last week when we had to sign our notification assignments at work. It's just somewhat like contract signing. The occasion didn't really call for anything formal or whatsoever, but still, I opted to dress up in a corporate attire... but with a twist. I didn't want to look too much like an office girl so I wore this Scarf-print robe and these unique tights from Oasap.com, one of my favorite online shops!

When I saw these tights from Oasap, it was love at first sight! It really has Gelianne all over it! I have that love for edgy outfits and styles (which I will actually share with you in my future posts) just like what trendy girl musicians, rockers and artists wear - black, studs, see-through tops, tattered bottoms... totally rockin! And if you love edgy styles too, or if you simply have a passion for fashion, then OASAP.com is just perfect for you! Go ahead and visit them and I'm sure their collections will remedy your cravings for fashion items.

Fashion isn't all about outfits that show femininity, but also uniqueness and comfort. You may opt to dress-up with a male-inspired outfit but still look fab and sexy. I am not at all a girl who would just sit down and watch games and shows on TV or just shop around and sit to drink coffee in a cafe (I don't have anything against people like that, just to clear things out). Well, I am partly like that, but most of the time, I tend to indulge in sports and music, which may explain why I love edgy styles. 

We all have different styles, so just know what you want, dress yourself up, and just by adding self-confidence, I guess nothing will go wrong. Of course, you always should consider the place where you are going :) Just add a little twist if you want to for that additional interest and head-turning effect :)

So how's my outfit? Feel free to let me know your thoughts, aight? :)
