PULL AND BEAR

If I have a genie right now, my only wish would be that Pull and Bear will FINALLY sell in the US. Hey, it worked on Zara. I have hope.

Can you guess where I was?

More Online Shopping :P

From September 7th onwards, I will be saving a lot of gas money! Zara is finally opened for online shopping, which means no more hours of driving to the big city for the good stuff. I've been browsing a few minutes and I have found so many things I want already. The great part: they are easily accessible. The bad part: my saving account will take a dip. Temptation is just too hard to resist.

Here's my little wish list...

1) Double-breasted Coat: $169 

2) Tunic with Zip: $89.90

3) Waxed Effect Trousers: $79.90

4) Two-tone Square-shaped Sweater: $79.90

5) Crochet Top: $79.90

6) Two-tone Studio Bomber Jacket: $129

7) Printed Metallic Thread Scarf: $35.90

8) Voile T-shirt: $39.90

9) Patent Leather Boot: $89.90

10) Bowling Bag with Appliques: $79.90

Don't worry, I will not be purchasing all of these. They serve mainly as inspirations for me to seek in other cheaper alternatives, which is much more exciting! For example, I will definitely keep my eyes open for color-blocking sweaters next time I go to Goodwill. If I do make a purchase on something, it would probably be the leather pants or the coat because both are great investments in the long run. 

This Morning

I woke up with an epiphany. Maya is A! On Pretty Little Liars that is. I remembered hearing several times on the show that Maya has pretty eyes and the ending of the summer finale has that lady complimenting on A's eyes (this is not the first time too). I also got a really weird deja vu vibe when Hannah comments on Maya's boots (in a few episodes back, we saw A ordering boots similar to the Dr. Sullivan's, which were used for the trap in the summer finale). But more importantly, with Maya being sent to military school (supposedly) and her trouble-seeking character, I think it makes sense if the therapist has had a session with her before (Hence, Dr. Sullivan looking through the files and realizing that she knows who 'A' is). It's also rushing through my head with excitement right now. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, and certainly, it doesn't matter. At least I have something to think about during the long wait until the show commences. : )


Off to see if anyone else thinks the same!

Narcisco Rodriguez....and Facebook

Minimalism is sleek, modern, and luxurious. To achieve the looks of Narcisco Rodriguez's Fall/Winter 2011 show, go out there and invest in streamlined dresses, outerwear, and nice fitted pants. Oh, and color blocking is still very much in for this Fall.

Speaking of Minimalism, the new Facebook trend has been to have as less friends as possible. What are you waiting for? Start your own purge. Your Newsfeed will thank you for it.

I think I have an obsession

Shearling and leather. There was never a better marriage.

Pretty Little Fashion: Aria

With this week's summer finale of season two of Pretty Little Liars (talk about intense!), I am very much hyped up about the show and of course, the great fashion that comes along with it. Today I will be profiling the eclectic taste of Aria (Lucy Hale).

First of all, Aria as a character is very creative and out of the box--she has a soul for interpretation and analysis of literature. We all know she has a thing for English ; ). To help portray that, the show focuses on her fashion choices, which are directed in an individualistic sense. She doesn't seem to follow any trends and simply puts together something that makes her feel good and look distinguished among the crowd.

In this first outfit, Aria shows an understanding of art by mixing the two complementary colors together (bold yellow in the dress and subdued purple in the bag), and they also act as accent colors within the darker pieces of the rest of her outfit (leather jacket <3, bag, and socks). She ventures with mixing two different prints, infusing the floral dress with the funky eyelets knee high socks. And did I mention the wonderful contrast of the masculine jacket and feminine dress? There are so many elements of art and styling concepts in this one outfit alone that easily puts Aria in the fashion spotlight.

But don't think Aria is always elaborative with her styling. Sometimes she does rely on simplicity to make her fashion statements. For this second outfit, she dons an ordinary combination of shirt and jeans with minimal accessorizing, yet it is still worth talking about! I am enthralled by the tasseled sleeve details and that spiky silver necklace. Both give so much character to this outfit but since it is a simple combination, she looks effortless and chic. 

Here are more pictures for you to feast on!

Vintage accessories! : D

This picture is not in the show but it is very Aria!

Trend Alert: Animal Prints are here to stay!

Feather earrings: her signature look. This gives her the bohemian flare. xD

If you like her style, I recommend looking at Urban Outfitters or Nastygal for more inspiration. The easiest bet is to go shopping and be more bold and creative with you purchases. Have fun with colors, prints, and textures!
