Style Reverie: Fendi S/S 2013

While most Filipino internet users rant about the recent cybercrime law, I opted to use the idle hours to talk about the latest Fendi Spring/Summer Fashion Week 2013; burgeoning the statement colors and geometric style of their clothes, shoes, and need I mention their, baguettes and 2Jours bags. How the show started and ended has been nothing short of fascinating.

The designer took perspective of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel which largely sported mixtures of triadic cadmium, blue, and sophisticated black. The sculpture-like proportions and design also gave it more savoir faire.

For someone who barely thinks runway clothes as applicable for everyday fashion, Fendi's S/S  2013 collection is one of the exemptions. Svelte and casual alike. I honestly drooled dream for it.

A New Crush On Charles & Keith

I have never been so vocal about it. Most of the time I make sure my life is nonpublic as much as I am a non-celeb. 

But there are exemptions to the rule. That's when I speak of one among many others, fashion, and the way I assert my preference. And I'm having a soft spot on Charles & Keith's understated colours and subtle design details. 

I am particularly fascinated with the cream tote bag which can be used concurrently as a handbag. More essentials can be tucked inside which is something advantageous when shopping, heading for school or office, catching a get-together, or when traveling. 

The color can basically complement with anything but it can be worn less formally by pairing it with denims or basic colored trousers and tops.

The allure tote bag and the classic and funky belt are another get-up to die for. They can be worn on a Sunday stroll or on a casual date. As though this collection is suitable for a devil-may-care period of the day or they can be pulled together for corporate occasions.

They are multipurpose so they can actually be worth the deal.

Just recently, Charles & Keith announced that they are now open for shipping to Malaysia and Vietnam. It's a good news for the junkies there.

Burberry & the London Fad

If I'm honest, I have to tell you there's a slight disadvantage about living in a third world country. The London 2012 Olympics has been running on and it's bad to know I could not, at least for the time being, travel a hundred miles to see the largest metropolis area of United Kingdom.

London is a fad not only because of the recent 2012 Olympics. It is a destination that is frequented by most travelers and on a separate context, by tourists.

If you're a legit to traveling or a junkie of it, I for sure don't need to tell you a litany of adjectives to describe London. I shall rather show you a tribute to one of the global brands that is distinctly British-- Burberry. This time not for their latest collection but for the flabbergasting photos of London that they regularly post on their website.

Just a slight history: the first established settlement of this city with rich Romano-British origin happened in this Thames River.

Afternoon sunshine over Big Ben, London

If there's one landmark I'd like having my picture taken in aside from the Eiffel Tower and the Singapore Merlion is the Big Ben.

You definitely won't run out of galleries and theaters to capture in London. The National Gallery is one example.

Isn't London's telephone station a good travel find?

Broken clouds over St Pancras Station, London

Western structures convince me enough that one important reason to travel is to discover a place through its history. When the desire to travel and chronicle the journeys go to a deeper level, it's not enough to merely know how a place is different from your own country. Your really crave to delve into something more.

Traveling to London is such a great affair. Sometimes I grapple my negative thoughts of seeing London as impossible and bring out the Charlie Brown in me. I eventually envision myself nestling my toes in a cold Europe road, having a quintessentially English tongue.

Most London weather guides say July and August are its warmest months. You can probably pair up shorts, racerback tank tops, and a light colored kimono to bounce off too much heat and include this Burberry Orchard Bag and Field Boots to lightly add finesse to your August London ensemble. The Orchard Bag can pretty carry your essentials if you are roaming London over the weekend.

Everything is just so postcard perfect!
