Freeway: Juan Luna Collection

I'm so lucky to be one of the firsts who were able to catch a glimpse of Freeway's Juan Luna Collection.

If you want to see more about its launching, click this.

And now, I'm sharing to you the FAB items that can be found in this collection!

But before that, let's get to know more of the Master!

Juan Luna is considered one of the greatest Filipino artists in Philippine history with masterpieces such as Spolarium, The Death of Cleopatra and Blood Compact. Not only did he excel in artistry, but he was also a political activist during the time of the Philippine Revolution during the late 19th century. His close friendship with National Hero Jose Rizal has sparked Philippine nationalism and pride. Juan Luna was mostly known for his works as being dramatic and dynamic, focusing on romanticism and realism styles of art.

Juan Luna’s other popular works include The Happy Beauty and the Blind Slave, Tampuhan, Mestiza Lady at her Dresser and Roman Ladies. He died in 1899 at the age of 42 after he suffered from a heart attack. Today, several of his works can be found in esteemed museums in the Philippines such as the Lopez Museum and National Museum.

Now, I'm going to share to you some of my favorites in this collection.

Style Guide: Which pants suit you?

Holla! Here's the 2nd leg of my Style Guide.

Yes, I already posted the first part which is about choosing the dress that best fits your body type. But if you haven't read it, just click this.

Now, I'm going to share to you a guide in choosing your pants.

Again, let's start with "emphasizing" and "de-emphasizing" your body features in wearing pants.

Here's a chart that will be our guide:

-------------------------

Bermuda Shorts

Bermuda shorts, also known as walking shorts or dress shorts,

are a particular type of short trousers.

The hemcan be cuffed or un-cuffed, around 1 inch above the knee.

Capris

Capri pants (also known as Capris, Crop pants, long or three-quarter pants, and clam diggers)

are mid-calf pants worn in warm weather. Variants end below the knee and calf.

Photo credit

Culottes

Culottes were normally closed and fastened about the leg, to the knee,

by either buttons, a strap and buckle, or by a draw-string.

Photo credit

Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit originally referred to the utilitarian one-piece garments used byparachuters/skydivers,

but has come to be used as a common term for any one-piece garment with sleeves and legs.

Photo credit

Pants

Pants are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately.

Photo credit

Shorts

Shorts are a garment worn over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to knee but not covering the entire length of the leg.

Again, that's all for today.

Watch out for my next post soon, and it's all about the specific body types. :)

Style Guide: Which dress suits you?

"I love dresses because they’re so lazy and require such little effort

yet when you wear them people think you actually attempted to look nice."

Maybe you observed that I love wearing dress.

In most of OOTDs, I am wearing a dress.

Well, I just love dresses! Haha.

I just finished my Personality Development class and our last module is about dressing up.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from that module.

So I want to share to you some of the tips that I learned. :)

I'll start with "emphasizing" and "de-emphasizing" your body features in wearing a dress.

Here's a chart that will be our guide:

In my PD class, they weren't able to provide us the photos of the dresses.

Honestly, I do not know what an a-line, blouson, etc. dresses look like.

So I researched for some photos.

(Thanks to google, wikipedia and some online stores! )

A-Line Dress

An A-line dress is a dress that is fitted at the hips and gradually widens towards the hem,

giving the impression of the shape of a capital letter A.

Blouson Dress

A blouson or blouse dress is a dress that is drawn tight at the waist,

causing it to blouse out and hang over the waistband.

Empire Dress

Empire is a style in women's clothing in which the dress has a fitted bodice ending just below the bust,

giving a high-waisted appearance, and a gathered skirt which is long and loosely fitting

but skims the body rather than being supported by voluminous petticoats.

Low-waist Dress

Low-waist dress is a dress intended to sit low on, or below, the hips.

Princess Dress

Princess dress is a style of women’s clothing characterized by garments

that are closely fitted to the waistline, which is unbroken by a seam.

Shift Dress

Shift dress is a short, sleeveless dress in a simple style with little detailing.

Wrap Dress

A wrap dress is a dress with a front closure formed by wrapping one side across the other,

and knotting the attached ties that wrap around the back at the waist or fastening buttons.

This forms a V-shaped neckline and hugs a woman's curves.

So that's all for today.

Watch out for more tips! :)

Pretty Little Liars Fashion 101: Spencer Hastings + International Giveaway

Spencer Jill Hastings, portrayed by Troian Bellisario, is my favorite liar. Why? It's because she's next to perfection. A lady who every girl wants to be. She got the looks, height, brain, money and popularity.
Yet, she's still humble and not a brat/bully.

That's why I really love her character.

Now, let's travel to Rosewood and raid her closet. But we better keep quiet 'cause she might notice us. Ssshhhh......
