Sonny San has been teasing us with the release of his latest collection on twitter, and thank goodness the torture is finally over as we get a chance to ravel in Eclipse's latest collection, today!
Trend Talk Tuesdays: Feathers
Anyone who knows me fairly well would know that I detest all sorts of birds with a passion. I can’t explain it – some people hate cats, some hate dogs, some hate spiders or other creepy crawlies while I, on the other hand, find anything with feathers horribly disgusting. As much as I hate birds though, I’m definitely not one to stand in the way of fashion, so when feathers came stomping down the runways of Fashion Week, I let them carry me away!
Playing Stylist: High Waisted
This week, I styled my bestie in different types of high-waisted bottoms and got her to pose for the camera. Personally, I love high waisted bottoms because it hugs the waist and hip area -thus creating an hourglass illusion for most. It's also a quick way to "prim" up an outfit without having to have a belt to do the trick. Enjoy!

Trend Talk Tuesdays: Pattern on Pattern
The saying "less is more" is one that has undeniably been repeated over and over again in the fashion industry. Nude is in. Minimalism is the key idea to Spring 2010's trends. Leggings and t-shirts were ripped into shreds. Unfortunately as fickle and unpredictable that fashion can be, I'm afraid, ladies, let's talk now about how more is actually ... well ... more.
TiC Pick: Setareh Mohtarez
I was a tiny tot, around the age of 5 when I discovered how mesmerising the skyline is when night falls and stars come out to play. It was no wonder that my favourite nursery rhyme happened to be 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. When my dad got me my first Guiness Book of World Records in 1997, I would gaze for hours at the pictures taken of the Milky Way and its other neighbouring galaxies. So one could only imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Setareh Mohtarez's Brightness Dawn Collection on Luxirare. A cosmic wonder indeed!
Trend Talk Tuesdays: Crop Tops
For this week's Trend Talk Tuesdays, we take a trend that has been around since the '90s and is now a staple choice in the wardrobe of many. We see it scouring the blogosphere, amongst It girls, on the streets and even runways.
Blog Shop: Step Sisters (PH)
Sex & the City's Carrie Bradshaw once said, "One must sacrifice comfort for fashion.." I am a firm believer of this blister-filled anecdote. As a self-professed shoe addict, killer heels and I are like a fly to a flame. I just can't resist the urge to oftentimes, strut in fierce agony to satisfy my shoe fetish. Then age kicks in, that no amount of candy bars or revolutionary cushioned soles can win the fight for comfort. So you busy commuters, stylistas on the run or late-night party animals, this is one sweet remedy minus the empty calories.... the Footsie Roll - shoes that fits into your bag to take with you wherever in case your feet can't take it in those stilettos you're wearing now!
Prps Jeans in Manila (PH)
"Bruised, never broken..."
This is not the distress call of a broken hearted gal. Instead, it is the resiliently witty, brand motto of New York-based luxury denim brand, Prps, who has just made its way to my shores.
