Geeky Fashionista

If you are a Googoo&Gaga fan and not too busy tomorrow, then you might like to drop by the Trunk Show tomorrow, December 11.

Instead of joining a bazaar this year, the Googoo&Gaga team decided to launch their First Artist Collaboration series featuring resident artist AJ Dimarucot plus Inksurge and Everywhereweshoot. The event will be from 11am to 5pm, happening at the address stated in the image. There will be free cupcakes by Claycakes for the the first 30 guests.

Geometric prints are popular these days. If there are repetitive prints, color blocking, shapes or angles, then that’s considered geometric. It is really a trend in collections. These prints can enhance and flatter figures if the shapes are placed correctly. It wouldn’t hurt to try out stuff first and see what works. Some tips when wearing geo prints: add a pop of color in shoes or bags if the dress is in black and white; too many patterns will looks messy so stick with plain pants or skirts for printed tops; and wear same or similar colored accessories for colorful patterns.

We are going somewhere with very cold weather in December (think 7-14 C, cold by my tropical standards, that is) that I feel the need to buy thermal wear. I also need thick jacket/s if I want to enjoy the trip. I only have little extra money to splurge on clothing pieces that I just might not be able to wear again so for now I content myself with window shopping. I saw this nice dereon jacket but even if it’s on sale, I can’t afford it, LOL:

A friend is lending me her jackets so maybe I should stop looking online. I don’t need to be tempted this time for I’d rather spend the money while on the trip!

When I first saw the suggestion, I could not imagine it. I am a fan of pink but in my head, wearing it with something grey seems sad. So I searched for images and realized it could actually work not only for clothes but also in interior design

Nice! ;D

Since I left the corporate world, I kind of stopped wearing skirts unless there is an event we need to attend. I would like to go back to wearing skirts so I went ahead and searched for current trends:

These are really nice cuts (the shoes caught my attention too, LOL! And look at these models, you’d think they’re into Appetite suppressant diet pills). I especially like the middle one for an afternoon wedding and the third one looks so chica

After the party my DD and I attended on Sunday, my friends started to talk about jeggings. These are pairs of pants that are skinny jeans that look like leggings. These are worn like leggings too. My friends say jeggings are more comfortable than skinny jeans because the materials used are usually the stretch type. Can you tell I have not tried them yet? I suppose I will have to take phentermine to slim down my thighs! I am also not a big fan of anything skinny.

Here are a few reminders should you decide to buy a pair for yourself:

• You know your body type so make sure jeggings would fit your type. Don’t feel pressured if everyone else is wearing one if you know the style won’t fit you (my case actually, LOL!);
• Darker ones work better with all types of tops;
• Get a petite pair if you’re on the short side.

I wonder if this dress will look good on me? I am not usually comfortable wearing dresses but this one really caught my attention while I was browsing clothes in the Nordstrom website. The print is so vibrant and happy; I like it so much!

This number by Eliza J is a pleated stretch cotton dress in a floral print. The waistline is also with a pleated that releases into the full, swingy skirt.

Ana is beauty and brains. And her family is well-off. Quite understandably, she pursued a career in law and dreamed of helping those who cannot afford high-profile attorneys. Not that Ana is not high-profile but she preferred to take on cases that she feels are more fulfilling. Now she and her partners handle some Mesothelioma lawsuits. Despite her busy schedule, Ana still gets to pamper herself and buy stuff. She is after all a certified fashionista.

It seems like the maxi dress, the jersey ones are making a come back this fall:

I am a fan of maxi dresses because they make me less conscious but I will have to admit that they also make me look short and plump. Well, I am fat and a maxi makes me look like I am pregnant once again, LOL! Click the image for the source article and read the comments too while you’re there So what is your vote: Yay or Nay?!

Yes as early as now, I am already looking for a nice costume for my K. Last year, since she was still a baby, we just bought her a tiger cub headband and made her wear her yellow gold dress. We only attended a party here in our community. This year, I promised myself to buy or commission someone for her costume. Then we’ll join trick or treat events in malls aside from the annual party here, so I can justify having to spend money for a costume, hehe. I found this really cute dress, a pink pirate costume (image is clickable):

Unfortunately, there is no available size for K at this time and we need to place the order by Saturday (hey that’s today!). The box needs to leave the US before August ends if we want the orders to arrive Manila on time. This would have been really cute on K but I guess it’s  not meant to be.
