Courage Rich To Wear Herchcovich

I have to admit that I am no expert in the rules, stitches, and weaves of fashion but I'm a learner ;) And with my learning, Alexandre Herchcovich is already a familiar name. However, the name that I have heard about comes with a style, a sense of fashion that is both familiar and peculiar.

In the latest collection of Alexandre Herchcovich, I believe one needs to have the guts and to be really courage-rich or else, the whole thing will not work. Though yeah, same thing goes for all fashions.

Check out these 2009 Spring/ Summer looks from Alexandre Herchcovich.

Key elements of the style:

1.) Bold colors

2.) Prints

3.) Structure

4.) Male fashion afficionado

Yay or Nay? (Comment Poll)

Just browsed through Yahoo's OMG section and spotted this photo of one of America's sweethearts, Drew Barrymore. The section was, "What Were They Thinking?!"

Sometimes, I disagree with the reviewer, however, I don't want to feel that I'm the only sour cherry. So, what do you think?

Yay or Nay?

Wind In The Hair

The wind in the hair effect is an infectious look applicable to both runway and print. Embodying this kind of style would definitely take effect if your hair obviously participates.

Being in a country where there are only two seasons applicable (summer and rainy), it is quite hard to keep up with a style that would suit one's personality and bring edge to something normal. However, with all efforts of research and the availability of materials, thanks to our western friends (wink), choosing hairstyles for a hot season can always be as fun as making lemonade with so much ice.

Here are some hairstyles that I myself have handpicked.
Personal thought with these looks: Often do bangs accentuate the beauty of the eyes, however, during a hot season, you can keep the bangs and let it fly up, or better keep it rather short and clean to clear the face ;)

Think it works for you? Try it! ;)

Look! No Make Up!

How many are just down right crazy over make up lines in the market today, just to achieve that clean fresh look? Celebrities can be exempted from this habit as their looks mark as their biggest investment in the industry. However, the April 2009 issue of French Elle Magazine turn things around and exposes real beauty without the make up.

How did they showcase this brave attempt? By simple picking out celebrities and putting them on the cover... and yes, with no make up on ;)

Monica Bellucci (44 years old), Actress

Sophie Marceau (42 years old), Actress

Eva Herzigova (36 years old), Model

So, are you ready for your close up?

Adding "Height" To Your Style

Did you know that you can actually create an illusion of looking tall without the bloody, messy, expensive surgery? Yes you can! And for one reason, this is no health blog, so we skip the gruesome surgery talk... LOL

Your clothes can actually give you a little boost of height if you're not that gifted vertically. Making cuffs on your pants, 2-3 folds, can actually create a look that would somehow trick that you are tall. It's like showing that your pants are not long enough for you.

Can't picture it? Then scroll down and picture these:

Now bend down and try it! ;)

Simplicity In Chic Ways

What look should you have that can turn heads without having the sense of "overdoing" on yourself?

Tiger of Sweden's Spring/ Summer Campaign this year (2009) shows how to prep up without having to much complications, yet, preserving that "tick" of being a head turner. Simplicity yet chic for the modern man and woman... it's all about that.

Its Going To Be A Short Summer

Not that rain will kill the smile on our faces; summer marks a look for short shorts for men, which is not that much of a common male fashion these past few seasons. Days of the colored jeans may have had their turn on the spotlight, short shorts will definitely turn heads even more.

Ready To Wear McQueen

Alexander McQueen has been known to have a deep source of inspiration for his collections. In 2008, everyone was in awe for both the set design and clothing presented to the critical eyes. As for the present year, 2009 for McQueen is just new door to open, and also, something worth looking forward to for his followers.

Alexander McQueen's Ready-To-Wear collection for 2009, Fall/ Winter can be described in just a few words, that is "Awkwardly Superb, Disturbingly Amazing." Looking at his collections, I personally believe that the word "Great" is an understatement.

It Gets Whiter for Summer '09

Do some window shopping on the mall and see a touch of white almost everywhere. Though if the building itself is painted white all over, well, duh.

This summer, the trend gets even whiter. Before, it was all about playing with fun and breezy colors. Though still existent, the colors are flowing to a fade, to pale, to white. Perhaps the artistic world has thought about putting back a no-brainer touch to color trend for the season.

The whiter the cleaner...

The whiter the better...

Three Words for DIOR: "To Die For"

Have you checked out the latest advertisement of Dior Homme for 2009? I would like to consider myself lucky to have passed by this one on the net as I was surfing here in the office. Though I'm not really paid to surf all day, let's just say I had a blessed day to have my eyes laid on this ad wonder:

It is very simple, clean, and striking at the same time. I am in complete envy right now, wishing I was in that guy's place. However, that can be arranged *wink*

I know some of you have your eyes peeled on those delicious skinny pants but I have mine lower... yes, that would be on the shoes. I also tried surfing the net for those kind of pairs and again, luckily, I was able to spot one. Call me selfish but the photo below is just another version of this hi-cut sneaker boots from Dior. Believe me, it's a classic:

Based on my research, a pair of these feet beauties costs around $70 up and expect it to go $100 or more if you want to have it delivered to your doorstep. It's a Dior vintage and if you're passionate enough for fashion, money will never be an issue... the purchase will be worth it ;)

Damn Flippers That'll Make You Gorgeous

Nope, they don't make me sick and I'm pretty sure that dreaming of wearing them will never ever cross my mind... unless a big sum of cash is at stake *winks*

I was just browsing through some online blogs and posts about fashion and voila! A feature on the beautiful Oscar stars whom everyone loves crossed my fast finger scrolling agenda. Yep, them girls sure are pretty but hit the breaks with this fashion trend: A flipper-like gown's end. Hmmm... I don't think I described that right but I think you get the idea.

Here in the Philippines, the cut is called "Serena" or mermaid due to the silhouette of the dress itself. It is fish-like slash flipper-like in figure and it does somewhat bring a little something extra to an already beautiful curve.

Nothing against this, I was just amazed.

Spotted wearing such structure is Diva Female Version of a Hustler, Beyonce Knowles


...and they (Beyonce) sure are in it together with Vanessa Hudgens flip flapping their beauty at the red carpet.
