more mustard please!

beats:: maniac - girlicious

OOTD:: my house clothes...aka my old highschool PE uniform! haha

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my laptop =)

Okay, so a few entries back, I mentioned that mustard yellow is such a hot colour for this spring/summer season.

I have since collected a few items that I've fallen inlove with that will add some *POP!* to my wardrobe =)
CLN (Celine) Sandals in gold *LOVE!* It's soo cute...Bought in the Phils (unexpectedly!) while I was perusing for a bag to buy, I am luvin the cuteness of these 'cinderella-esque' vibe! It's perfect for the warmer seasons, comfy slip-ons and a lower heel for a less painful night!
I simply love the colour of this bag! It's big but that's how I love my bags! J'adore! the colour is bright but it's burnt yellow so it's not so pastel-like....It fits my most essential of goods and is stylish...Found at Forever 21 =)
Wasn't I just talking about a pop of colour for simple bland coloured linens? I love love love this colour for linen shorts...It's just screams sunny weather! it's a nice alternative to the normal cream or white that's so common...It also came in a hot pink colour if you prefer the pinks!

I love my weekend mall jaunts...They provide hours of window shopping pleasure, plus when I'm lucky like I have been the last few months, I can find some great finds at the mall that will just add some life to my wardrobe!

The last two items were below $15 from forever 21 by the way, so you don't have to be rich to have style!

Happy Shopping!~*


Linen in technicolor!~*

beats:: halo - beyonce

OOTD:: same as below =P

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment::

So now that I've vented out on my great sandals disappointment, I thought I should liven things up with something more befitting with the weather.

I realize that with summer now just a week away, people are starting to bring out the summer wear, the staples that you will see throughout the coming months of intense heat.  One of them being the linen-- well really almost anything! lol.  Linen shirts, shorts, skirts, pants...the list goes on.

The whites, and khakis and stone coloured linen clothes will be taken out from the back part of the closet, dusted and dry-cleaned or hand-washed (ha! fat chance lol) and once again will be one of the must-have staples for summer.

As fun as that sounds, however, I think that what's caught my eye on the linen craze is the new spin that some trendy younger-ish shops are doing.  It's not so much a new spin, but just revamping the old lighter coloured linens into fresh bright colours that match the trend for spring/summer 2010.
I recently bought a pair of linen shorts that were so cute, it was hard to resist!  They were a pair of mustard coloured linen shorts with cuffs...so cute and a great alternative to the lighter colours, but yet not quite as dark as black.

As much as I do love my whites for summertime, there is nothing wrong with venturing into a little bit of colour to brighten the summer wardrobe!  Red isn't the only colour to help make your wardrobe pop anymore....
