Metamorphosis

By Mela D. on Thursday, October 31, 2013

I feel so blessed to be chosen as one of OMG Fashion UK's fashion reviewers.

They have the most unique dresses and this one is perhaps my favorite. It's amazing how a one-piece garment can have so many interesting details. The aztec patterns on the sleeves, the butterfly stamp print, and the baroque figures work perfectly well together.

Wore the dress with heelless shoes and my yellow retro sunnies from Foymall for an Andre Chang-inspired look. If only I was in Manila a few days ago, I'd wear something like this to the Philippine Fashion Week!

My first attempt to style this dress:

I later realized that it was a bad hair day so I had to wear my hair up and ditch the hat.

I loved the flowers in the background so much! I've always wanted to have an ootd shot at this area in San Antonio Resort. It felt like I was in a different world. :)

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Let me know what you think about this outfit!
And please visit OMG Fashion UK. :)
I'm sure that you'll fall in love with their products as well!

Much love,

Mela

FashSin City

By Mela D. on Tuesday, May 28, 2013

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

I say what happens in Vegas' hotel casinos aren't just endless partying and gaming but over-the-top fashion shows with endless street style inspirations as well.

Needless to say, fashion weeks are bookmarked events of bloggers. Covering a show opens huge doors of opportunities--from connecting with brands and designers, to gaining friendships with other fashion bloggers, to finding outfit updates and inspirations, to being photographed and featured by fashion police.

It is my dream to be a regular attendee of fashion shows. I'd love to say yes to all invites if only I live in my country's capital city, Manila. But a probinsyana blogger has to do what a probinsyana has to do. And that is, to inspire and be inspired. :)

For this look, I was inspired by Ethical and Ethnic themes of the recent May 2013 Las Vegas Fashion Week. The designers' creations were bold, modern, and patternistic. I always thought that Vegas-inspired fashion is limited to the glitz and glam and the sexy but seeing playful elegance walking along Vegas runways erased my crooked disposition. Indeed, Las Vegas isn't just Sin City, it is a FashSin City!
