Your guy just asked you out for a date, but this time to the movies. What clothes will you wear? Should it be 

A.overly sexy

B.just a little sexy

C.conservative and not sexy at all

I say D. screw those three and dress in tandem according to the movie (sounds funny right? Haha) well, that’s just what I did when Miguel (my boyfriend, whom I wanna thank right now for being so patient with me while taking these photos. Thanks love!) asked me to watch a movie premiere last weekend, and guess what the movie is? You can easily tell by looking at the color of my shirt. 

Hint: Something red and blue and black and hot and cool and awesome and AMAAAZIIING. Yes, its Andrew Garfield, Yes it’s Spiderman!!!

Isn’t this Marvel movie one of the coolest? (now I’m not talking about fashion. Which is new) I mean aside from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sex and The City, The Notebook, you ladies and gays have probably been a fan of these kind’f movies too. Right (don’t lie)? Because I am. I’m a big crazy fan. I love them so much that I always wear something that will remind me of these characters every time I watch them on the big screen. Like what I wore here. It’s just a very casual shirt that reminds me of Spidy simply because of its color (which also reminds me of  the movie London Boulevard because of its print). I paired it with boots and denim shorts to appear exude some cool, added on some statement accessories and voila…peg achieved (Haha). 

P.S  

What can you say? Have you watched the movie too? Did you like Spiderman’s new suit? I heard they had to change it in this movie because the old design one looked so old (I agree).

Bright Ideas

 

 

|HYPE this look on Lookbook.nu HERE and on Chictopia HERE|

 |DIY neon skirt, DIY Clutch Bag, Pin from Fabgelous, Borrowed denim polo from my sister, Topshop Lace Top| 

Last weekend defiantly pushed me to crave for something that could give me a ray of light. Something  fun. Something wild. Something striking...

Something Neon! 

From neon nails to electric shoes,from Prabal Gurung to Micheal Kors collection, the fact that it made a huge rage last Summer and will definitely have its fame continues until this coming rainy season is not actually new to all of us. It's the "illuminata" (or glow in a lighter chictionary term) effect that it brings, that makes it a wardrobe vital even in the 80's (fashion history check).

By combining fluorescent yellow, pink, and orange Stabilo highlighter hues with denim and lace, I don a lady-like approach in this season's fresh and modern hit, Thinking...Why blend in with the gloomy weather when you can instantly lighten up any soul and make use of this trend's show-stopping power? (Bright idea right?) *wink*

P.S

So...have you gotten the Neon Fever too? What do you think about this look?

 

PP.S

A loud and special shout out to my lovey, Tina! She took these photos in between rain  showers and in the midst of partying at the Status Magazine's event last Saturday. Watch out for more about that and BU3 on my next post.

Xx,

Nikki

Pleasantville

  Dramatically playful, detail oriented, wholesome with slight sexiness, colorful and sweet. The Fifties was fundamentally a time of conformity, you won't find anything wild or risqué on these pages. Think of it as good, clean, wholesome stuff. Instead of lingerie think night shirts, instead of mini skirts, think at the knee length skirts, instead of shorts think trousers and you'll get the idea.

That's my take on the fifties fashion (or atleast, that's how I understand it) Correct me if I'm wrong but when I think about the 50's it reminds me so much of the movie Pleasantville. Well, yeah, I know, that movie was so gone-and-done years ago. It was released way back 1998 ( when I was hmm...ten years old and just about to hit puberty! Haha). I remember myself not only putting an eye on the scenes but drooling (emphasis on the word) over what every character is wearing (specially Reese's or Jennifer's). Beautiful dresses, skirts in bloom, array of trousers. Name it, this movie has it. 

and as for my fifties inspired look. This. I took inspiration from the movie and of-to-course with twists and turns, I made it more me. Showed a little sun kissed skin, styled my hair a bit with a fish tail braid for an added effect and focused more on the whole idea of the conservative 50's era. I also wore my DIY crystal ball necklace for the first time, which I think will be a big hit this season too (fashion forecast right there) and oh I just have to mention this, that trousers on me is actually a pajama from GAP and that top is actually a swimsuit (no, i'm not kidding) See! all the possibilities in dressing up are just right there, it's about for us to find out and make way to use it.

So...Have I given the movie justice or not? What can you say about this look?

Xx,

Nikki
