BLACK HOLE

When you're in your sixties like Lola A, comfort matters more than anything. Taking that into consideration, Lola A makes it to a point to invest in pieces that are both comfortable and stylish. On the first day of the Superb Bazaar, she 
donned a black oversized dress so she can swiftly move like a bird. Coincidentally, it was also the start of Philippine Fashion Week. Anyway, Lola A's versatile dress is quite interesting. You can practically morph it into different looks. It's like buying several dresses for the price of one. All you need is some wild imagination and voila - a new creation! Absolutely a fantastic deal, right?

OOTD ON KAPUSO MO JESSICA SOHO

Last week Lola Androgynous was featured on Jessica Soho's show and boy we couldn't be any happier! The KMJS crew practically followed Lola A everywhere.

Everyone got a chance to take an exclusive peek at Lola A's wardrobe including what she typically wears at home. It was an exhausting three-day shoot but Lola A absolutely had a ball. Too bad there were so many scenes that were deleted such as the grocery scene and the cameo appearance of Celine, the infamous Singson house cat! Anyway, here are some of the outfits she wore during her five minutes of fame. Stay tuned for the exclusive BTS soon to be posted on here! Special shout-out to the entire crew of KMJS for making the shoot extremely fun and easy!

THE BLACK COAT DRESS

Lola A absolutely adores this gorgeous vintage black coat dress! It is quite versatile - wear it either as a dress or an outerwear. The attention to little details like the epaulets and the pleats is what makes this lovely piece quite special. No wonder both Lola Androgynous and JP are avid vintage hunters since it is quite difficult to find beautiful pieces like this nowadays.

A TOUCH OF BURGUNDY

Lola A finally toted her uber cute Chanel half moon bag in deep burgundy shade. It's absolutely the perfect match for her all-black androgynous ensembles like the one she wore at the PEFTA event last week. It's regal, timeless and classy. Adjectives that can be found on Lola A's style vocabulary.

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.

NEUTRALIZE

FYI, Lola A doesn't wear black all the time. Once in awhile you'll catch her rocking something in an unexpected shade. Here, Lola A whimsically layers her garments in various shades of neutrals to create a lovely tiered cake effect.
