STRAIGHT LINES

Everyone knows that Lola A loves her blacks and whites. But lately she has been gravitating towards colors like royal blue, mustard yellow and crimson red. And without a doubt these colors do look fabulous on her so we're not surprised she's expanding her color spectrum as far as her wardrobe is concerned. One of her current obsessions right now is this lovely 3.1 Phillip Lim striped jacket which JP got for her. Totally love the cool peplum effect on the waist. She paired it with her blue Phillip Lim 31 minute clutch that is quite the perfect size for your essentials. To complete her look, she slipped into her oddly-shaped metallic Margielas since it's more fun playing Lola Androgynous...

LIGHTWEIGHT

Since we live in a tropical country, Lola A favors lightweight materials like this air-thin Calvin Klein cotton blouse and a pair of baggy and versatile linen vintage joggers. Both weigh almost practically nothing. And the perfect match for those warm summer evening dates with the family.

SCULPTURAL

On the first day of PFW (Philippine Fashion Week), Lola A went all-black mixing different textures and proportions. I love how she incorporated her quirky Margiela tabi boots to her outfit. It's so unexpected and uber kawaii. I also like the strong contrast between her breathtakingly beautiful sculptural skirt reminiscent to Raf Simon's skirt for Christian Dior and her cropped blazer from 3.1 Phillip Lim with a dramatic architectural multi-tiered rear. Too bad there are no detail shots of both pieces.

ARM CANDY

After two long months, Lola A finally got her covetable candy clutch from the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collab. Special shout-out to my drop dead gorge friend Ella Bella from Stockholm for literally fist-fighting screaming blondes just to get a hold of this adorable clutch. This is actually a re-edition of the covetable candy clutch from the Spring Summer 2010 collection. Mom is also donning today two of her latest Yohji acquisitions - an oversized white button-down with intersecting collars from the Pour Homme collection and a pair of high-waisted baggy trousers from the Y's Red Label collection. I totally love the strong contrast of her masculine get-up and her feminine accessories. It just somehow works flawlessly and looks pretty spot on!

HEAD-TO-TOE MARGIELA

Who doesn't love Margiela right? Well, Lola A without a doubt worships Margiela! And here she unquestionably proves her undying love to one of the most important maisons in fashion history! 

I'm super glad I got my Mom these oversized denims because it fits her like a glove. And the copper Margiela heels look amazing as well. Although the shoes according to my Mom are pain-in-the-ass to walk in but in the name of fashion she'll endure it. Well, heck they look absolutely fine. That's enough reason to endure pain, isn't it? Tiis ganda as most beckys would say!

Both are presents from moi! Yes, I'm a good son and she's a lucky Mom! Hahaha!!! But would you blame me for not spoiling her!!!

MARGIELA AIDS CHARITY TEE

Both my Mom and I worship Maison Martin Margiela. The Belgian fashion house's influence in fashion cannot be ignored. Its revolutionary designs and conceptual shows have served as references for the next crop of fashion designers. Aside from this, Margiela is known for actively supporting the fight against AIDS. The Margiela AIDS Charity Tee is undoubtedly one of Margiela's most iconic pieces. It was first produced in Fall/Winter 2003. Since then, it has been seasonally reproduced in different colorways. Part of the proceeds go to Aides, a French organization that aides people afflicted with HIV.

The classic AIDS Charity Tee reads "There is more action to be done to fight AIDS than to wear this T-shirt but it's a good start." Who doesn't love the idea of fashion with a cause, right? Certainly not Lola A who fully supports the fight agains AIDS!
