PAINT THE TOWN ROUGE

Of course, a trip to San Francisco wouldn't be complete without a visit to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was perfect that day, though, a bit windy as usual. Thankfully, Lola A had her trusty long coat to keep her warm while exploring the lovely sights in NorCal's most scenic and most visited landmark! 

Without a doubt, Lola A's vivid red brocade trousers brought the sun out! Check out a few snaps from Lola A's SanFo afternoon rendezvous!

ABSTRACT

It's been awhile since we have seen any posts from Lola A. She has been extremely busy lately, hence, the absence of her OOTD posts. Anyway, in the next following posts, Lola A will be sharing her OOTDs during her recent trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles.

To commence her Californication OOTD series, here she is wearing a trippy abstract print pullover courtesy of the Zara blow-out sale last summer! Paired it with her trusty Giordano Ladies trousers and her favorite Church's brogues.

I'M WELLWORTH IT

A few days ago Lola A accompanied JP at the Wellworth press tour. If you have not seen this new department store geared towards the entire family then better head out to Quezon City for a fabulous shopping experience brought to us by the joint venture between Stores Specialists Inc. and Ayala Lands. Lola A graced the event wearing an all-black ensemble with contrasting red lippy and red YSL purse. And of course, lets not forget about her lovely shorter "do" that's just perfect for this extremely hot summer.

Congratulations to Wellworth for a successful opening! Great stuff at affordable prices! Perfect for bargain hunters like us! See you guys there soon!

MELLOW YELLOW

Every once in awhile it's nice to break away from the predictable black and white ensembles that Lola A typically wears. Without a doubt this deconstructed knit and silk combo shift dress from Japanese label Toga Archives is a scene-stealer. Who knew Lola A can brighten up the quite empty SM Aura with this bright yellow garb!

POLKA DOTS

Of course Lola A wouldn't welcome the year without wearing polka dots! Here she is donning a lovely polka dot dress from Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcons! It has been said that wearing polka dots or anything with circular patterns on new year brings good fortune! 

Hopefully, this coming year gives us all good fortune! 

Have a fabulous New Year everyone!

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?

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.

GOING TO CHURCH

English footwear company Church's was founded back in 1873 by Thomas Church and his three sons. It's longevity in the industry only proves it's unparalleled craftsmanship. No wonder men and women alike go gaga over their lust-worthy brogues! Looks like Lola A is going to be a devout Church-goer from now on after finding her perfect pair of patent black brogues from the acclaimed shoemaker!
