SUMMER DRESSING

Lola A has gone AWOL for quite some time now. Blame JP's lame MacBook Pro that went MIA. Anyway, thank goodness Lola A is finally back. Today she's sporting some basic summer essentials plus those mind-blowing Kei Kagami killer wedges that she's currently obsessed with. And that gorgeous buttery-soft leather shoulder bag that morphs into a ginormous clutch!

Accessories - Marni shoulder bag + agnès b belt + Ray-Ban Wayfarers

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...

DRESS OVER PANTS

Yes we all know that this outfit post is long overdue since Lola A hasn't been blogging anything for the past two months. Now that JP is back home rest assured that this blog would be updated regularly. Stay connected to Lola A via Blogger or Lola A's Facebook Fan Page. 

Sometimes you need to think outside the box when you're playing dress-up. Lola A has a penchant for experimenting with whatever is inside her closet. For this particular ensemble, Lola A playfully paired her lovely dress from Uniqlo with a pair of Giordano Ladies wide-leg trousers. The end product was a sophisticated tiered-effect look that is neither contrived nor boring.

SALMON PINK FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Today is Mother's Day! And Lola A shows her softer, feminine side by donning a fabulous salmon pink shift dress from Marni! Surprisingly, Lola A takes a break from her usual predictable black numbers and wears her heart on her sleeve this time. Aside from being a force to be reckoned with in the wardrobe department, Lola A is a devoted Mom to me and my two other siblings. Always prioritizing her family before anything else, indeed, she's a true embodiment of a Super Mom whom we are all proud to have in our lives!

RUBBERIZED

It was love at first the moment Lola A and I laid eyes on this gorgeous and rare vintage rubber tote from Thierry Mugler. I have no idea from which season it was but it's absolutely an objet d'art that is hard to ignore! It's the perfect combination of function and form and definitely a great conversation piece wherever you go! Its sleek and modern design makes it look very contemporary. This lovely arm candy has two steel bolts on the side for closure. It perfectly fits your hand so you can slip it effortlessly to grab your "kikay" essentials. Talk about ergonomics!

Lola A's minimalist blouse with billowing sleeves from Marni was the perfect match for her new tote. I love how it complements each other like milk and coffee.

ANN DEM

Ann Demeulemeester is one of the few fashion designers that both my Mom and I have been following for years now. Known for her dark and romantic aesthetic, the successful Belgian avant-garde designer is one of the members of the highly revered Antwerp Six which also includes Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Bikkembergs, Marina Yee and Dirk Van Saene. Without a doubt, Ann Dem has always been our favorite among the bunch. And it's pretty obvious why we adore her to pieces.

Check out Lola A as she works this lovely Ann Dem fencing jacket along West Avenue!

MODERN DAY ANNIE HALL

Lola A channels her inner Diane Keaton dandy today. Woody Allen's American romantic comedy hit Annie Hall definitely paved the way for the whole androgynous look. No wonder it's one of Lola A's favorite flicks! If you haven't seen it look it up on torrent ASAP for some gender-bending outfit inspiration.

WHITE LADY

Instead of wearing her trademark all-black ensemble Mom opted for an immaculately clean all-white number with a splash of light and dark browns for a change. Her whimsical Comme des Garcons deconstructed jacket was just perfect for the "fantasy" theme of Metrowear's Holiday Haute Couture shindig last night! After the presentation of the designer collections, Lola A willingly posed for my camera together with her favorite beckys in attendance!
