Tiffany Box and Robin Egg Blue Nails

There's always something about the color of our nails that catches people's attention and gives them a glimpse of our fashion style. Every year, there's a certain nail polish color trend that people tend to wear. This S/S 2011, Tiffany Box blue and Robin Egg blue seem to be on the nails of the runway models and a lot of fashion icons and celebrities like Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Lauren Conrad, Victoria Justice and Miley Cyrus.

The Chanel, Essie and Pop bottles are the examples of Tiffany Box blue. The Robin Egg blue is a family of light and aqua blues. The color is very perfect for the summer season since these shades have the feel of the ocean, and wearing them on your digits scream, "LET'S HIT THE BEACH ASAP!"

The other 2011 nail color trends are barely-there nudes, peachy pink, lavender/dusty purple (suits most skin tones), gun-metal gray, and an edgy topcoat (a holographic/nude shimmer or a cracking one).

Eco-Fasion

by Alexandre Meneghini: Models sport outfits made from soybeans, bamboo, and silk at an eco-fashion show in Mexico City.

Growing up in a province where the rice fields and farm lands are close to our home, I have a distinct appreciation for nature and its simplicity. For one week since I moved from Tarlac to Manila, I have been scrubbing away dust and dirt from cupboards and cabinets. It seemed like the cleaning was endless. My obsessive compulsive tendency towards cleanliness seem have made a comeback. Why is there so much black dirt and dust here. Its the evident pollution i guess. From this thought I have decided lead, as much as I can, a more organic lifestyle. Thus, my blog for the week is about environment friendly products and movements-specifically in the clothing sector.

Eco-Fashion promotes the production of environmentally safe clothing products from organic materials that are ethically produced. A popular Eco-Fashion innovation today is the Zero Waste concept. According to Laurel House in planetgreen.com, Zero Waste is a concept that crosses many industry lines-- from food to fashion. When it comes to your clothes, it is a way of constructing garments without wasting fabric. The fact is that an average of 15% of all fabrics used in the production of clothes is tossed away. From pattern-cutting to unused edging, the clothing industry is responsible for a lot of waste. The concept challenges designers to think about fabric as a coveted commodity and use it sparingly. In other words, the patterns are more carefully crafted to minimize excess fabric being snipped off. The fabric that does end up on the cutting room floor is fashioned into usable embellishments and details instead of landing in a dumpster. FAME Foundation Philippines is an example of an organization that promotes Eco-Fashion.

Weather Proof Style

Style comprises fashion. Moreover, it is style which separates one from the others. But, in a country like the Philippines, style is not only the significant factor that we should consider.

Brand new cream mocasins, grey socks, a good old sweet little white dress and to top it all with a boyfriend blazer, was almost the perfect outfit except for one, the weather. In this country where we often have great and powerful visitors, such as Ondoy and Falcon, our outfits shouldn’t only compromise style but also the weather. Unless, you wanted to be entertained by some of the friends of our visitors, strong winds and floods, who often tagged along.

Nonetheless, we should’t forget style. That is why, Plueys caters to us an array of à la mode footwear. Plueys is a store which specializes on weather proof style. Here, they have stylish wellies (rain boots) that we could include in our closet must-haves. Their wellies are unique for by wearing them you will be style-proofed during the rainy days.
