From Music to Denim: Lee Cooper

Lee Cooper, one of the major participating brands in the Great British Festival, opened the fashion show with some exciting pieces from their newest collection. The collection featured preppy saturated hues fused with a grunge marine feel. As models walked down the runway, you couldn't help but notice the playful use of colors in their clothing, as well as some British touches here and there. The pieces are very versatile and can be styled in various ways to match everyone's style. It can go from sleek and sexy, to casual and sporty! I'm actually eyeing the orange pants worn by the model on the far right!

The Great British Festival, organized by the British Embassy, was a 3-day event held in Bonifacio High Street. There were various booths, exhibits, and activities in store for everyone, from movie screenings to football drills to live music! There was really something for everyone! The festival was designed to increase the Filipinos' awareness about UK culture, and to strengthen ties between the two countries.

Chambray

I've been looking for a denim or chambray button-down since forever…but now I'm happy to announce that the search has ended!

There are so many denim or chambray tops to choose from in stores but it seemed like I couldn't find the perfect one for me. I almost gave up my search when one afternoon, I saw this chambray top on the shelves of Uniqlo *rejoice*! I admit, it wasn't the best, but it was good enough for me. I hurried over to it but found that they did not have my size. Sad.

The next day, in a different mall, I came upon another Uniqlo store (it was totally unplanned!). I immediately looked for the chambray top from the day before. I was expecting not to find any in my size, but there it was, in size small! I actually asked if they had a size XS to see if that one fits me better but I was told that the smallest size they carry is a small. Although even without trying on the smaller size, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase!

Denim on Denim

I've always wanted to do denim on denim. I bought a denim top but after trying it out at home, I realized that it doesn't look good tucked into a pair of denim shorts. I resorted to this denim vest instead (which is actually my sister's, haha). I wore an orange tank and this pair of lovely shoes so as to add some color to my outfit. You can also experiment with the denim on denim trend by trying on different cuts and washes. Hope you can also share your thoughts about this trend by leaving a comment below. :)
