From Manila with Love Blog

I haven't had a lot of friends married off and haven't really had a chance to become a "bridesmaid" but I feel like I'm steadily going there (ala 27 Dresses). Contrary to the popular saying (this posts' title) I don't feel one ounce of bitterness when I say that. I'm excited to be a bridesmaid actually.

Weddings and/or marriages is a big step. And a huge turning point in a person's life. People put a lot of thought into it and one shouldn't marry for the sake of being married or not wanting to be alone. It's a huge commitment....

Unlike dress shopping. :) 

So when Formal Dress Australia contacted me for a collaboration, I thought I'd do some window shopping for possible formal/wedding dresses.


SHORT DRESS OPTIONS


For people who want something a little breezier, a tiny bit more casual but by no means less gorgeous, short dresses are a nice option and these dresses are my top picks.

Dress 1 | Dress 2


In my opinion these dresses can easily be used for anything other than weddings. Adding to the fact that you can dress these up and down effortlessly the length and a-line adds a little youthful and sweetness vibe to it.

I really want the (1st pic) left dress and (2nd pic) left dress with the "petal" details. They can be used for any special function or for the office. Petal dress + Moto jacket/Structured blazer + Black closed pumps + Black leggings = WIN.

It might still be a little "dressy" or "formal" for work but what can I say. I like dressing up for work.

LONG DRESS OPTIONS



As with the short dresses, these long dress options are also flowy, a-line and look ethereal.


I'm thinking a late afternoon garden wedding or beach wedding. Wait. Why am I thinking location?

BONUS



These aren't really something I'd personally wear for my or anybody else's wedding but I think they're fun options for really fun snazzy events where cocktail dresses are appropriate.


I mean look at the middle-eastern-esque bead work? I'd personally go for the silver one but the light pastel pink's beading is no joke too. The shoulder caps are really pretty.

The site has a huge selection and I looked over 407 + dresses to really find ones that I like. They even have plus sizes.

What do you think of these dresses? How therapeutic is window shopping? I mean really. I feel a little better looking at pretty clothes.

I love making wishlists {and dream boards}. I think they're a good thing to do when you have some certain goals/dreams you want to achieve, it helps when you make them and immortalize them in one way or another. Not to mention it makes for a good blog post every now and then. *ahem*
 
Plus it's always fun to see {at least for me} what others are coveting lately, be it fashion, home improvement or something beauty related.

I just had one light colored jean since forever, I don't have it anymore which was why I thought of picking another one up because it makes for a variety in outfit choices if I had at least one again that's light-colored/acid-washed. Despite the thickness of my thighs and against the advice of most fashion articles {large thighs/legs should avoid white/light colored bottoms} I think I wear it quite well. Anyone can wear it well to be honest. Finding the right cut and right color is the key.

Lately it's been getting cooler and cooler, I sometimes just leave the windows open and snuggle against my pillows. I personally think this is the perfect weather for dressing up so I've been drawn to jumpers/sweaters. Choosing other colors other than gray, black and shades of white proved to be quite the challenge for me but I think I did well in incorporating the blue floral number, which I think is really beautiful against the dreary weather and can be dressed-up or down.

The other two gray jumpers are amusing to me. Type-designed tops are great conversation starters especially ones that pose a question, are funny or unbelievable stupid.

Jeepers Creepers! {Dang, how long was it since I last saw Scooby Doo? The original version.---they've rebooted it and I think the original's art and story-line were way cooler} These creepers have been on my shoe list since FOR-fucking-EVER. And the ones that I've seen here are too small and too common. Nothing exceptional about the material and/or design so I will continue scouting for them. I swear on the blood of my ancestors---I will have them!

Don't you think this Moschino bucket bag just seals the deal? Black+Chains+Red piping=Heaven {Reading the equation again, it's actually the formula to another place, but I digress}
What has been on your wishlist lately?

A clutch a day

I never fully appreciated evening clutches or clutches in general until college, when I had to attend evening events and all I had in my arsenal were book bags, Backpacks, Messengers and Gym bags.

I still went to the events but man did I look ridiculous. Especially since I had classes earlier in the day. I hauled my shit to the events and it was a little tiring.Going out partying with friends becomes silly too because I'd be sporting my day-time medium-sized shoulder bags that don't really work well with my "party" outfit.

These are just some of the clutches that caught my eye and I like that it's a boxed, hard-type of clutch lord knows I tend to man-handle my things.

What do you think of these cool-looking clutches? Most are a little "out-there" and "young-ish" but I quite like it. I think anyone of any age can rock these.
