true to life

this could not get any more real.

i was perusing the alleys of Interview magazine online and i bumped into this

editorial for the March ish aptly titled The Art of Shopping. models

Janice Alida, Meghan Collison, and Irina Kravchenko played the parts really well!

i am transported to the context by staring at the editorial.

how cliche, but it's like true to life. haha. it must have been

easy peasy for Mikael Jannson shooting this.

cover wars: March (local scene)

March is my favorite month of cover wars in the local scene.

absolute favorite!  for the single reason that it's swimsuit issue. ;)

A$AP ROCKY for Status magazine.

always, always cutting edge.

Preview's new layout. =)

Jodi's looking unjustly gorgeous on the cover.

this has to be my second favorite for this month because it's so colorful. hihi.

plus, Janine Togonon could very well stand beside Taylor Swift's Elle cover,

and even look prettier in the Louis Vuitton S/S2013 bodysuit.

no further ado, Rogue, again, is my March drool-focus!

i've said a million times already how much i love Rogue and their

well, very rogue, take on editorial. one could not expect any less. ;)

Rhian Ramos for Rogue.

ringin' spring in

spring to me is so synonymous to Manila's summer.

it is kind of like that actually since we don't have spring. haha.

dumb remark, i know. ;) so if a = b, and b = c, then a =c!

huh? so since i love summer, i must love spring too! ♥

and i love this Vogue Australia editorial that spells spring/summer all over.

Cassi Van Den Dungen is so dreamy as she poses for Will Davidson.

hello spring to you, hello summer to me! ♥

cover wars: March (across seas)

it's summer in Manila! ♥

and as much as i want to share my excitement over this to the whole world,

not everyone can relate at least yet. majority of the rest of the world

is just getting to saying goodbye to the cold weather and

welcoming spring. but spring is just as good, it's summer's

closest sister and best friend. ;)

so on to the cover wars this month, and the best from Spring 2013

are taking center stage on almost all glossies. Louis Vuitton,

i think, landed the most though. but see for yourself so you can

drool freely and dream of summer, and spring, yourself. =)

Victoria Beckham on the all new Elle.

i heard Heidi Klum is going to be a part of America's Got Talent's next season.

now that is what one calls expanding territory. ;)

 

 ha, this month's last spot goes to Flare! ♥

i have nothing too special to say about this cover,

but the color choices for the type are just lovely to the eyes.

and then Charlotte Free's pink hair made it all the more cute!

TRENDencies: reflective sunnies

i cannot wait to get my hands on a pair of reflective sunnies!

i am telling you, this is a major drool alert. =)

i have been crushing on them lovely reflective sunglasses since i saw

i saw my own reflection in them. ;) they are the hottest thing right now in the

little world of sunglasses. besides of course, the round-framed sunnies.

they may actually be sharing the limelight right now. hihi. ;)

i'm on a quest to find the perfect pair, or two and more,of reflective sunnies.

i scoured the dark alleys of the world wide web, and found a few

that really took the drooling to the next level.

(i MUST find a pair already!)

Phoebe Tonkin for an exclusive editorial

for fashiongonerogue.com wearing vintage sunnies.

 Preetma Singh wearing Westward Leaning

refinery29 (where i got these 3 photos) NY editor wears Westward Leaning.

opt for the reflective aviators if you can't let go of the As yet. ;)

 these two photos i found on Pinterest while

desperately looking for the best reflective sunnies out there.

please holler for credits. :)

and of course fresh from the streets of Paris Fashion Week,

these uber stylish ladies were snapped by Tommy Ton for style.com.

so is this ba-bye to wayfarers and aviators?

could be. but if it is, i don't think it's such a bad thing.

let's all admit we've all gotten to abusing these sunnies in ways more than one. :)

gah! i need those reflective sunnies, four weeks ago!
