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. 

Top - Paul & Joe dress worn as a blouse / Bottom - Giordano Ladies trousers / Shoes - Church's brogues

Accessories - Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Medium in Rouge

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

THREE-TIER CHOCOLATE CAKE

Lola A's layered chocolate cake-inspired ensemble looked both delectable and divine. The idea of layering two skirts, a pleated mini and a pencil cut one, is just plain brilliant. It's sort of her innovative take on the peplum craze which was huge last year. Also, that quirky Marni top is hard to ignore. The cool ruffles at the bottom of the jacket absolutely adds drama to the entire ensemble. No doubt this is one of the best looks from Lola A we have seen so far...

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?

Top - Unisex Rewind oversized dress / Footwear - Church's patent brogues

Accessories - Prada leather bag + Area di Barbara Bologna leather belt with pouch

THE OTHER ANN(E)

Lola graced the Tod's Spring Summer 2013 press presentation wearing this lovely Anne Valerie Hash deconstructed jacket. Acclaimed French Haute Couture designer Anne Valerie Hash shows twice a year in Paris and an alumnus of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. I have been following her amazing work for quite some time so it was love at first sight when I found this deconstructed jacket. I knew right away that this would be perfect for Lola A. I love its deconstructed raw finish. It certainly adds character to the jacket. And the pattern is absolutely immaculate. Definitely a conversation piece!

A TOUCH OF RED

Last Oct 24th my dear friend Jun Jun Ablaza celebrated his 18th birthday (etchos!) at Manila Polo Club. Apart from his debut (charing!) there was a photo exhibition featuring some of his museum-worthy creations!  The theme of the shindig was a touch of red. Since both my Mom and I hardly have any color in our closet it was quite a challenge to come up with an outfit. Thank God Mom has a fabulous YSL Cabas Chyc in rouge which I got last summer in Paris. It was the perfect match with her all-black ensemble!

Top - 5cm drapey waistcoat + Giordano Ladies button-down 

Bottom - Giordano Ladies culottes + Random sheer leggings

Bag - YSL Cabas Chyc in rouge / Shoes - Rad Hourani heels

Also, nice bumping into my Mom's amiga Linda Ley (in Rajo Laurel no less) who always look gorgeous! No wonder she's also on this year's Preview's Best Dressed! Again, happy birthday Jun Jun (in Steve De Leon, Rick Owens and Prada) and congrats to the success of the photo exhibit!
