I heart fashion

If you’re a fashionista, then you must definitely be a sweetheart now. 

Just take a cue from Louis Vuitton’s Saint Valentine Heart Purse, in monogram multicolore canvas or subtly embossed monogram red vernis leather.  Hearts are fast becoming the most popular shape and pattern, showing up not only on purses and handbags, but also on jean pockets, accessories and even makeup. 

Besides the classic hues such as pink and red,  check out hearts in metallic, patent and animal prints. 

So go on, grab a heart today!

Desigual: funky Spanish label

I was on the prowl for some interesting streetwear and was so happy to find Desigual, a young stylish Spanish label at n 1-18/19/20 Vivo City.  Not only do they have some really upscale trendsetting streetwear for the ladies, their man’s and kiddies’ collections are very cool too. 

What I like is that their designs are really funky with an attitude.   Think contemporary art on fashion as each piece truly makes a unique statement by itself with iconic prints and pop art motifs.   Even the store is such an inspiration.  Definitely no mass market stuff here.

Fashion tip on faux handbags

Some time ago, I wrote about the brand of fashion accessories by Peter Belisi, a fashion forward designer.   In addition to their tie and scarf collections, the brand now offers  luxury handbags.  And here’s something interesting taken from his Belisi Fashion Tip Today about what to look for in faux handbags.
