Greener Pastures

By Marky - 6:53 AM

Greener Pastures-a better and more exciting job or a better situation. For the past months, I'm seeking for the best! I had a lot of interviews and finally had an interview at the school that I'm studying now and still hoping for the best. Hanggang dun lang muna. hehe.

Last Monday, I enrolled myself in a Fashion Styling course at School of Fashion and the Arts in Buendia, Makati. Ms. Marina Benipayo will be our mentor for the whole semester. Wooo. Workloads! But I'm so excited to learn more in Fashion Styling and Marketing. I really hope that I can still manage to balance all my responsibilities for both work and studies. Also, I would like to thank my parents for supporting me here. Sobra Sobra! haha. The student orientation will be on June 7 and the start of my class will be on the 15th. Woooo..

Finally, I'm able to share my favorite outfit so far. So before I go to bed, let me share with you what I wore last Friday in the office.

Top-Nava

Pants-Human

Emi Sandals-Golddot

Bag-Tops and Bottom

Random Accessories-Wear Mauve, Nava, Bracelets from Boracay and Palawan

Watch-Tomato

Necklace-Oxygen

I really love color Green, not only that I love the effect of my polo with my polka necklace. This is also my first time to wear printed pants which I got from Human. A scene stealer so I just used a plain top and a black sandals matching with the inner top from Oxygen. I already have a nice printed pants and statement bag and also the necklace, I think all of these are the attention grabbers I need.

Thanks for checking!

Once you fall in love with Paisley

By Marky - 7:34 AM

Paisley print is a print that spanned the ages. It is indeed a timeless fabric, now seeing the reincarnation by today's designers. What is paisley print exactly? Basically, paisley print reminds me a twisted teardrop or 'Persian Pickles'. According to my research , the print is believed to be of Indian origin, but the name paisley originates from the town of Scotland-town of Paisley. Woooooh. Nice to know..

Paisley is a busy pattern that adds vivid interest to an outfit. However, if you are going to wear this print, make it the only pattern in your outfit. Like what I have on here, I paired it with a solid black pants for work. I love the vintage looks!

These days, it seems the smaller the better when it comes to bags..I love my new simple and classic clutch from SM department store. I got it for only Php 319.00 from 399.00. Woooo Surprise discount!

Neckalce from Piesa

Shoes from Rajo Laurel for Parisian

Not only Paisley prints are trendy, they are so beautiful, fab, and classic. If you haven't gotten any item with paisley print, I would say, give it a try!! It could be just a top, tie, or even a scarf. Once you fall in love with Paisley, you will not able to say 'NO" to more paisley items in your fashionista's wardrobe.

Thanks for checking!

Loud Prints

By Marky - 7:28 AM

What a busy week it has been! A late post, Better late than never. haha. The Election 2013 are here. The counting has began and the results were finally heard. Are you guys happy with the results? Kalerkey. This is what I wore last May 13-Election Day!

How to wear print on print? When it comes to grievous trends, the art of mixing prints is at the top of the intimidating list. Print clash is among the hottest fashion trends, but this year it's getting bigger-the floral, aztec, and tribal prints are always a joy to play with. Once you master the art of mixing and matching, your options for potential outfits in your closet will wildly increase. All here are old clothes, I promise it's worth the challenge, all you have to do is start mixing. Check some of the tips..

Belt-NAVA

Bag-Tonic

Accessories-Tomato and NAVA

My overused Sandals from Golddot

Top-Androgyne Manila

Pants-SM GTW

My favorite print. Tribal

Start bold. The first step to building your ensemble is finding the star piece, whether it be a loud floral skirt or a leopard printed blazer, use this piece as your jumping off point.

Mixing polka dots and stripes is one of the easiest ways to achieve a mixed look. For those of you who are still a bit weary these are the patterns for you. Stick with black and white for a classically chic ensemble and add a dash of color with a killer bag or pair of heels.

Choose a color family. Similar colors and palettes will help blend your prints, while still making a statement. If your pieces don't share a color within their respected prints, similar backgrounds, like brown, black, white, or grey, become extra important.

Scale is key. Once you have your larger, bold print, be sure to pair it with a smaller, less dominate print. Two prints of equal scale will give your ensemble an overwhelming appearance and could be unpleasing to the eye.

Avoid three. I always suggest limiting your mixing to two patterns. You don't want to go overboard. If your look calls for a third piece, go with a white blouse or a simple cardigan to tone down your prints.

Accessorize accordingly. The right accessories can be the key to breaking up your ensemble. Try using solid colored items to tie your ensemble together like an oversized clutch or a belt.

Try texture. If you're too nervous to mix your prints, try a more subtle approach by mixing different textured pieces, like a ruffled blouse with a lace skirt.
