Fashion Accessories fo Gadgets

I have been wanting to have an iPad or an iPhone, so, I can play on my favorite music, view movies or surf the net whenever I just want to relax and have fun.


I have included this already in my wish list and I still have to bookmark and include in my shopping card some best deals of  iphone accessories  to complement my soon - to -  have gadgets.


Call it vanity but I call it art; accessories for gadgets and clothing can be quite cool and can accentuate anything they possess. 


I guess with all the hard work I put in our store, I deserve some freebies like these cool techie stuffs, right? Well, I shall soon have the contents of my shopping carts purchased with or without the approval of my folks.  

Needing Flip Flops





We had these flip flops from Havaianas before and some native sandals and they were sold like hotcakes and I have been wanting to have new batches again to sell.


I just hope that when the next batch can be available, I have resources to acquire them all. For now, we can only be hopeful.

Monique Lhullier at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week NY 2010

In my previous post, I indeed highlighted a Filipino - LA - based fashion designer,  Monique Lhullier and with her humble beginnings, one can be quite inspired by her sky-rocketed rise to stardom.

Below is her latest runway collection.



How to be a Fashion Artist

Fashion is creativity and while there are trends that one can follow, anyone can make  his own style and fashion statement, may it be outrageous or not.  And surprisingly, different nations do have their own fashion statement; indeed, fashion is influenced by culture and generation. 


I was not born as a  fashion artist, but, with an inclination to draw styles and arts from apparel to accessories, I wish I can have the right training to craft my own designs. So, I personally favor a Filipina designer, Monique Lhuillier who from her formal education in Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), where she met her Tom Bugbee, her husband, rose to becoming a renowned designer from making her own bridal entourage. 


Truly, there is no easy substitute to schooling, may it be a physical or an  Online School   since mentors are there to guide you in your training. 


With technology, it is only quite relieving to know that students now can choose between attending to traditional instruction or modern instruction. The whole point is, we can all learn and realize our passion for anything, fashion or otherwise. 

 

Hongkong: A Fashion Shopping Hub

My sister had booked my parents and me in November for a 5 - day to Hongkong and since we have Asian stocks to fill the store for middle class buyers, I am excited already.


But, what makes Asian fashion apparel click? Basically, price is the main culprit. We have in our stocks US brands but because of the price difference between these countries,  middle class prefers the former.


So, I only wish I have enough resources to buy and find good stuffs from Hongkong shopping centers; I just have to find  travel guides for this fashion center and maximize the trip. I hope my parents will have fun too.
