Marni X H&M

HOLA DOLLS/BELLAS! I'm so happy, to see that my view counts really went up after my Greyson Chance entry. Now I know the key to all of your hearts! More Greyson! What if I turn my blog into a fansite! cheka.

The real topic... Recently, H&M released their collaboration with Versace a few weeks ago. Like I said I wasn't really a fan of the collection cause some pieces were leaning towards a hoochie look. It's not that I hated it, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Anyways, for the people who weren't feeling the Versace collaboration, weren't able to get a piece or whatever. DON'T FRET. H&M has already a new designer collaboration on the way this SPRING 2012. This label is actually a personal favorite of mine... MARNI. Yes the Italian fashion label started by Consuelo Castiglioni is collaborating with the fast fashion brand! When I read about this, oh the music in my ears. Upon seeing the news on my twitter feed, I could already imagine all the beautiful prints, fabric, texture, silhouettes of the designs and of course their MENSWEAR. I just love that they stuck to their their style since then and brand aesthetic of "European-inflicted bohemianism." Just like what Tim Blanks of style.com said that Consuela doesn't aim for the graphic kind of sexuality, but the "sensuality of the mind."

MENSWEAR!!! I can't wait till they show the lookbook!

If you noticed or google their menswear designs aka Marni Man, they stick to a cleaner, polished, colorful, bold, younger look. Its also very easy to incorporate with your own closet. A lot of it can also be a staple/essential piece for your wardrobe/everyday wear which is always a great thing. Now hopefully this entry helped and get you guys excited for MARCH 8, 2012. Yes, there is a date for this collection already. Thankfully its on my birthday month, so I'll definitely be saving for this collection!

bisou bisou,

Last friday SoFA had its weekly Fashion Fridays, and I absolutely loved this last week's theme. Well obviously from the title of this entry, its pretty obvious.

FASHION FRIDAY: VIVID PRINTS

Upon seeing this, I immediately knew what my peg was from the H&M X Versace collection and what jacket I was gonna wear. 

My Peg: not River my bellas, but the jacket and the prints. Now I don't have shirts with palm trees plastered over it, but I do have a shirt that had the same amount of color and green on it. 

What I Wore: Applerust reversible bomber jacket, Forever 21 jeans, burger shirt, rosary necklace and Mundo at The Ramp espadrille flatforms

This jacket no doubt reminds me of Versace especially cause of the print. So proud I purchased this from my friend Peach. With this I no longer have to feel bad I won't be able to own a bomber with such a vivid print. As for the shirt I decided that the colors were so bright why not pair it up with the jacket. Is this Versace enough?

A pair of shoes I've been coveting the moment I saw them in Garage Magazine's October issue. I knew I had to contract The Ramp and reserve a pair! Not only are they comfortable, they add an extra inch to your height! I have been wearing them non-stop, and sometimes I'm afraid they'll get ruined! They actually remind me of creepers that were combined with a paid of espadrilles!

Heres a photo of some of the pieces from the menswear collection of Versace x H&M

Some of my favorite pieces from this collection is definitely the bomber jacker(absolute favorite), the studded leather pants, the studded leather jacket, the palm tree shirt and OF COURSE the hot pink suit! I absolutely prefer the mens collection of the ladies. Not being biased, but honestly some of the pieces from the ladies collection gives me the hoochie vibe. No offense. 

Thats all for now bellas! Hope you enjoyed this photo heavy entry!

Born This Way

Before I post my next "boring" entry hehe I wanna do an outfit post! Now, this look I'll be showing was taken around March or April? I forget. I wore this to another typical day in school. I guess you can say that the title of this entry matches sweatshirt I'm wearing. I haven't mentioned this I think, but I love collecting celebrity/musician t-shirts! I actually have a growing collection of specifically Lady GaGa shirts. I try my best to haunt for them, but damn is it difficult! I've collected around 5 shirts already! Hopefully I find more! I currently want the one with a unicorn!

What I Wore: Topman Lady GaGa sweatshirt, Forever 21 jeans, H&M headband from Mads, Folded & Hung necklace, Payless moccasins, socks from Lauren 

Thats all for now! Just a quick entry! Bad news though, I won't be going to Subic anymore this week. Some things came up, but its all good. For now I'll be enjoying my Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon!
