London Lovin'

About this Look: "London Lovin"

One my biggest fashion icons would have to be Duchess Catherine, the former Kate Middleton, whose style is absolutely classy, chic, and polished. She always looks gorgeous, no matter what she's wearing. Picture perfect at every moment. True royalty.

She is my inspiration for this London look I put together. 

I paired a simple, but elegant dress with classic black pumps, and topped it off with a big, floppy hat. 

When I think of London, I imagine having a tea party.

Dress from Topshop. Hat made and bought locally from Quezon. Black pumps from Wade.

Another thing about this look is that most of what I'm wearing was actually just given to me as gifts! I only bought the black pumps. The pink dress (which is actually my very first Topshop piece to own) was given to me as a birthday gift from some of my closest friends. The hat, would you believe, came from Quezon, during the Pahiyas Festival. My dear friend got it for me as a souvenir :) It's locally made, and I think it's gorgeous. Who says Pinoy products aren't top quality? I think it's London worthy!

Someday, I dream of walking the streets of London wearing something like this. And who knows.... maybe have a spot of tea or two ;)

About this Look: "Ruffles and Pleats"

I wanted to go for a more elegant feel with this look, while still keeping it fun. That's why I decided to pair the white ruffled top and the salmon-colored electric pleated trousers (more formal) with the floral wedges (fresh!) :) This look is also a product of my mid-year sale escapades. 

The wide-legged trousers from Topshop were half off, cutting the price down to PhP 1,200.
The floral wedges from Aldo were also on sale, and I got them for PhP 2,800 (from about 4k!)

Two great pieces from two great brands at really good prices! :) It's times like these when Patience really is a virtue. It pays to wait a while til shops go on sale... then you score really great finds and manage to save some money ;)

No Fear

Have you guys ever been afraid of the future? Uncertain of where you were headed? Well that happened to me this week... and this is what I learned...

You realize you're afraid.
You stare that fear down.
Then you kick it in the face!

Best reminder I got was that with God, we have nothing to fear. He always has our back ;)

This look shows a different side to me, specifically my hip hop self. Gotta be proud of who I am!

Summer Lovin, Happened So Fast

As promised, styled the floppy hat and yellow flats my sister and I got one weekend :) They're perfect together for a simple summer look!

From the LB admin: "We were so proud when we saw that a group of LB members decided to come together this weekend to show their continued support for the victims of Japan's recent earthquakes and tsunamis."

To support this worthy cause, LB will be donating $1 for every hype each look receives. :) More looks have been added. You can check them out, as well as updates here: http://lookbook.nu/log/192-LB-Supports-Japan-1-per-HYPE-

Lookbook is definitely more than just collective fashion consciousness. This shows that fashion is indeed a powerful tool to make a statement and support a cause. Let us continue to pray for the victims of Japan and for the country's rebuilding and growth.

With you in prayer,

Cooky
