Making their comeback

Sometime they come back … including fashion trends! So what’s making they’re come back this season?

1. Red

Like Justin said, bring sexy back! What could be sexier than a red kissable lip as seen on Monica Bellucci for Dior Rouge lipstick ad. My choice of drug would be Lancomé Color Fever Gloss in Mercury Rising or MAC Couture lipstick in Red No 5. FYI, I am not discrediting Dior Rouge here, I choose Lancomé simply because I prefer lipgloss over lipstick and Mac cause I’m used to it. Next in line would be the red heels, I always love red heels but never find the perfect one until today. Red heels will sass up your so-called normal attire, it draws attention for those seeking for one. Red colored clothes are also big this season, be it a dress, top or skirts. The key is not to over use the power of red, pick one or two pieces of red and match it with black or white if you’re feeling nationalist.

2. Dresses


My one true love, dresses! The perfect dress can hide imperfection on your body figure and it can also enhance your best part. They have been very nice and forgiving to the baby baggage on my figure. The best choices from this season trends are the wrap, empire cut and mini dresses. The best of wrap absolutely came from the Diane Von Furstenberg collection. The selections of fabric are so beautiful, from a nice printed organdy to a lovely array of chiffon silk. What I particularly love about Diane’s dresses is the long and wide wrap tie that enhances your waist cut, you can team this up with the peep toe shoes that have been making their appearances on almost every shoes store window for a feminine look. Since Diane’s wrap dresses are v exp, what left to do is to go get yourself a copy from your tailor or the next best knock off. The empire cut dresses are especially big this season with the wide waist belt and the minis are very chic with the leggings or a pair of skinny leg jeans. The edgy Marni dresses are still hip as well! I especially love the water color dress; this seller in e-bay is auctioning the dress that I mentioned.

3. Crop Jacket


Remember back in the days when Jackie O is mourning for the JFK assassination? Where she often spotted with the crop jacket and oversized shades? Yeap, the jacket along with the oversized shade are making their comeback. This one is from Zara TRF, I love the vintage inspired prints but doesn’t really like the fabric – I think part of it have jersey element. Topshop also have some nice collections of crop jacket a la Jackie O, but they sell off pretty quick.
