Top Trends for spring/summer 2013

Spring/summer 2013: top  fashion trends 

From stripes and biker jackets to neon hues and bare midriffs, check out the biggest trends to emerge from London Fashion Week.

THE BIKER JACKET

The bomber jacket has dominated the catwalks for the last few seasons but the biker is back in town for spring/summer 2013. Pick one up in leather or denim to toughen up a girly dress.

.SNAKESKIN

Reptiles ruled the runways at London Fashion Week. Snakeskin slithered onto dresses, skirts and shoes at Erdem , Preenand Holly Fulton .

STRIPES

Be they vertical, horizontal or diagonal, stripes are big news for next season.

WHITE

Be brave with next season's hottest shade and try an all-white outfit. A white trench, as seen at Burberry and Margaret Howell , is the perfect summer cover-up.

NEON

Get yourself noticed in neon next season.

CHECKS

Following on from the triumph of tartan on the autumn/winter catwalks, checks remain relevant. To keep it summery, go for sweet shades such as Roksanda Ilincic's lemon suit or try monochrome for a chic look.

THE NINETIES

Go back to the '90s with minimalist tailoring and baggy trousers.

SLOUCHY SHAPES

Tailoring took on a relaxed vibe in London, as seen in the slouchy shapes of these coats.

BARE MIDRIFF

We caught a subtle glimpse of midriff at a variety of London shows - team your crop with a high-waisted skirt or trousers for a subtle take on a tricky look.

TWO-TONE

Why wear one colour when you could wear two? Two-tone looks were all over the London catwalks, from contrasting green and black at Acne to complimentary red and burgundy at Jonathan Saunders.

Iridescent

Christopher Kane's models strutted down a holographic catwalk, Burberry opted for high sheen while Antonio Berardi dazzled with sequins.

SKIRT SPLITS

Get ready to show some thigh - skirts were slit high at London.

A long weekend was the best time to have a bonding with Sissy Vez! We went to greenbelt to check out SIR shirt by Marc Gueco. ( I'll post the shirt soon!) So excited to wear those shirts!! I decided to wear something simple and preppy! My thoughts told me to wear "Less is More" drama. So I opt to wore this longsleeves polo with three colors! Color extravaganza! hahaha! The polo looks like it was dyed! What I love about this look is the combination of colors! Isn't it striking? With my sissy, he just wanted to wore something bright since we went to makati early. So, he decided to wore a blue green pants and stripes polo! Siyempre ang boots ni Dr. Martens hindi niya makakalimutan! Ang favorito niyang boots!! Ang drama ni ate ay different shades of blue! After greenbelt, gora naman kami sa trinoma and have merienda at Italiannis. Ang peg ni sis something light! Loka! ako! Clam vongole and foour season salad ang snack namin! oh well! I enjoyed the food naman kaya lamon kami!!! Sorry for the pictures medyo haggardo versoza na kami! hahaha! As always, makakalimutin ako I forgot the cam. Kaya cp nalang ulit! hehehe!

Watermelon

Sando: Folded and Hung by Jerome Llorico

Orange Pants: Forever21

Last Sunday, our family went to Manila Ocean Park just for my niece to show her the beauty of marine species of the Philippines. She's only 2 years old! hahaha! Pero gora lang ang family para malibang ang baby girl! Of course, she was amaze with the colorful fishes! Aliw naman kami coz medyo bulol pa siya like shark ang pronunciation niya Ark! hehehe! Since it's a long weekend I knew lots of people would visit the place. Of course, super jinit nun! I wore this watermelon sando print because it looks refreshing. Though the color of the sando is black, big print of watermelon makes it look very fresh. This colored pants isn't a skinny fit, so I decided to pair it with a boots to make it look skinny! Before going out of the house, I realize that my outfit looks predictable and boring. So hinalukay ko ang mahiwagang drawer ko where colored and printed socks were there! I saw this gray with yellow line socks and thought that maybe I could pull the socks up baka maganda siya sa fasyon outfit ko. Then when I look at the mirror, it made my look different! I was so happy with my look! Now, socks would be also on top of my list! It adds a different look! :) Sorry guys for the low quality pic. Waley ang cam kaya celphone lang ang gamit! :)
