Style Weekend: The Fall Collection

Gone are the days of being completely deprive of strength and energy which prevented me from opening my blog. lt actually felt so good to take rest from everything even just for a while and so now, I am redeeming this blog of mine to finally put some progress to my numerous backlogs. Let’s first start from the blog post which I created almost two months ago. (yes that’s how logged I am). Since I don’t guarantee to take a new outfit of the day shots and blog it every now and then, I am putting the Style Weekend session where I will be going to post all the style essentials that I currently loving either it’s for summer, winter, spring or even just plain ordinary type of day. (because we basically only have 2 seasons here in mnl)

Apparently, the fall starts on September twenty-three and ends up on December twenty-one where winter begins. So before November ends, here’s my list of favorites in line with the Fall (Street style) collection.

Button Down Denim Skirt

The A-line denim skirt from 70s is back and is actually on track for today’s modern style staple with a twist of the classic A-line skirts. Just like the other denim skirts that you might have it’s versatility perfectly fits whatever weather in fall we may have. 

Suede Skirt
The beautiful tan color of the suede skirt perfectly represents the color of Fall. Neutrals and light color palettes add some sumptuous texture to your wardrobe. And just like the Denim, it has its own versatility too that can be paired with anything.

Turtle Necks
In terms of sartorial life turtle necks are considered a fall item, considering as a classic ensemble, they also have an ability to construct and give an edgy look. Perfectly matches the A-line skirts and you can channel you inner vogue-ish side.

The Culottes
Culottes are the knee-length trousers and is indeed a perfect substitute for jeans. Not only comfortable and easy to wear, but can vent a high-toned, upscale look that can also give a look of a loose round skirt. They can be worn for casual or even formal. Culottes can fit for the unpredictable weather of the fall season.

City Grind

Black Petite Jersey Overlay Playsuit from Topshop/ HM Denim jacket / @huemanila sandals / Dovie from Sunnies Been quite captivated with playsuits lately while defaulting back to my favorite combination which is the black and denim. Loving everything in this , an easy staple you can dress up or keep pared back. Back to my own comfort which is more of subtle and muted mixtures at times when I don’t feel like being too much of an array (overdress) as I was out and about city scouting. These are the color layers I kept on going back to when I am in doubt. Play suits  also kept it meek and ethereal the fact it brings comfort merely, can be a perfect substitute to dresses. Any thoughts about playsuits? Wanna here them out!   xx Birs

Nonchalant

HM cover up/ Lace top from Papers and Scissors/ HM Lace shorts/ Primadonna chunky shoes  

Spent the whole afternoon being nonchalant with lace and monochrome. It’s a good thing that thin cover-ups are invented, for it can still be used in case you don’t wanna show so much skin despite of the nerve-cracking heat. Keeping it cozy, I layered everything up with different texture. As for the first piece, we go for something knit. (This is not the kind of knit that seems to be used in narnia or some cold places in the world). Wear something that’s just good for cover up and at the same time won’t be acting like a see through. Days when I’m a little less aggressive, I plan to wear something loose instead of thight jeans and floppy skirt which makes it more comfortable to move same as this lace board shorts. Then there go laces which add different scale on the whole look making an ordinary cami cropped top special.

Whiteout

Topshop’s romper/ Shades from @citylifestylebytrix /White Sandals from Zara 

End of summer come back blog post as it is. Unpredictable scorcing heat and sudden rain make such rompers wearable these days. It’s actually one of the staples that rekindles both masculinity and daintiness of one’s look. Second to dresses, rompers and jumpsuit are one of the good-to-go paraphernalia one can wear. At some point it may look humdrum or mundane but with the proper essentials,  playsuit can be a perfect style statement. I’m currently pairing it with a white cardigan. For all we know, cardigans can be worn any season of the year, it maybe winter, spring, summer or fall and as a fact nothing seems to be so stimulating than an all white look. Playsuits can be more appealing if paired with cover up. It adds a little extra in the look by adding another piece. Commonly, sandals can be its best pair however it will always depends on one’s style. If you feel like putting it on with kicks or boots then go. PS: Don’t forget to wear it with shades or hat to deal completely deal with the surrounding’s vibe. 🙂

Plain Jane

White polo from Mango/ Denim shorts from Bershka/ White sandals @Lafleur  This season comes with fresh light colors aside from hues. I think it’s best to have something that comes with light and nude touch barring the coachella, gypsy vibe everywhere. Basic and casual are preferably seen in spring or fall but you won’t be forever in the beach  this season (as much as we want to) so sums up, I picked the  less temperature color for a to-go clothing. Light colors such as white attract visible light rays such.  as the sun rays that make it look nice and floating (says physics). Though black is better for a scorching heat day (I will explain this theory soon) white-out gives a mental over haul over calmness especially paired with denim. It may seem to look like a mid 2000 rage but it never go out of style. What do you guys prefer this season? A little white and basi or more hues? 🙂 Comment your thoughts below! 🙂

La Fleur

floppy hat from SM department store/ Daisy dress from Cotton On / Jenny Mandals from HueManila 

Changing the game because we’re actually already in the line between summer and fall that triggered me to wear floppy hats these past days. Naming this blog post as “La Fleur” which is actually the french translation of “The Flower”. I think the photos speak for itself why is it named “La Fleur”. The heat is striking at its best, which gives me an idea to pick a cami-sunny-dress. Aside from beating the scorching heat, it never fails to be a perfect style savior. Just don’t forget to put your favorite ensembles such as floppy hats/shades or whatever you think that would definitely match the weather and your look. What are your ideas for your fall going summer outfits? 🙂

Slouchy on a Laid back day

F21 denim jacket/ Zara jogger jeans/  

After being an MIA for almost four months, I’m finally back on track. The demand of school’s work loads that I’ve been through is no joke. Taking a bit of my summer break goes to the jogger jeans trend! I’ve been saving this blog post for a month. Something laid back sophistication, not necessarily your workout paraphernalia and definitely not your usual jeans, that’s actually how I felt about this rage. So shabby to wear when you’re out and about. Since it was an upgrade of sweatpants, I can see both of its corporate and casual side. They’re not just actually for beyonce-booty-kind-of-level lol. They’re a savvy weekend warrior style option that can be perfectly worn with anything same as your denim jeans! What do you think about this trend? yay or nay? (comment your thought below! would love to hear them) 🙂

B and W

Cami – Cotton On/ HW Jeans – Topshop / Heels –  Zara

It’s almost December and it’s ironic that I’m still wearing this white cami top that i’ve been obsessed with thru the past weeks. Been sticking to pants lately cause I still think that they’re just sexy and doesn’t go out of style. Same thought as black and white being so classy together. You’ll see more of monochromatic look for the upcoming next blog posts, but I’m sto;; trying to work out on furs and knits for December’s hopefully cold weather. But for now, I think It’s simple yet cozy to walk around with jeans and cami top except for the heels. lol what’s your favorite outfite lately? just comment and share your thoughts below!

Awkward

White skater from @GangandGlamour/ Topshop Denim Corset/ Espadrilles denim wedge

I can’t believe I haven’t post anything for the month of May. The moment of summer for me has finally arrived because my summer classes had ended. However, it started raining. The weather is such a douche. Rain is very much needed because of the unbearable heat but weather is a plus factor in blogging. It’s hard to blog when it’s raining. I am no waterproof.

Not blogging lately makes me akward for real. And I am sorry I do look akward in the photos. It’s been a long time since I last tolerated all the look that I got from the passbyers and standbyers. That is not easy. Going back, I’ve been eyeing for this denim corset but it happened that it got sold out from Topshop, but still, I got one. Yehey! Thank you OAKPH! The heat of the summer is much appreciated because I had reasons to wear this kind of clothes. To make it not look so grungt, I tried pairing it with the classic white skirt. Yes. Neutrals will always be neutrals. It can be mixed with anything. Aside from wearing an all white with a denim vest, why not make your denim as a top! What do you think guys?

Overall Overload

Lately, I’ve been thinking of ways on how to fully utilize my time especially that I have only 2 weeks vacation before summer classes starts. (don’t mention it. I know it’s such a bummer). Spring is one of the best seasons where you can wear anything that you are confident to wear. I think the weather speaks for itself. It isn’t awkward to wear shorts, sleeveless, etc as long as you are confident and comfortable in wearing them. Indeed, I am sartorially challenged in figuring out what look to try. Sometimes, look comes second to comfortability. That’s why I chose to wear an overall! The overall never comes out of the trend. We 90’s kids agree to that (don’t know if you are really agreeing). There’s a lot of inner shirts and tops to mix match with an overall, that’s one good thing about it. I just felt like wearing it while going have some mall walks. Because like I said, sometimes, comfortability comes second to looks.

Overall from Cotton On/ Fringe Bag from @FashionCravings/ Knitted tank top @beakthtrend 

I played with my cam’s setting and every time I do, It blurs the picture. Never playing with it again! I also had fun changing the pictures color to something neutral and unusual. Lately, I’ve been posting completely raw photos. So for a change, I imitated the rustic-whitish effect of some. I don’t know what the photographers call it.

I paired my overall with a fish net! Kidding! Knit and lace have completely something in common that I can’t pin point out. But they can be paired with anything just like ‘whites’ can. Sartorially speaking, it is summer and I have this idea that this knit top that I am wearing screams out best for the season. So what do you think about knits and overalls? xx
