Fantasy Closet {Peplum}

Luncheon Topshop Top/ JCrew Skirt/ Zara Tote/ DSquared2 Platforms// Cocktails RiverIsland Pants/  Seven Bicakci Earrings/ Givenchy Clutch/ Rupert Sanderson Pumps// Sunday Brunch JCrew Shorts/ Totem Tote/ Lanvin Wedges/ Wallis Bangles

I've always judged the peplum cut as the most unflattering kind.. but following The Ramp's show at Philippine Fashion Week, I think I had a change of heart. Truth be told, it's only flattering to certain body types but the peplum top can actually give you better style mileage than you'd think. Just make sure you balance it out with a more tailored piece and you can take it to a dressy luncheon, to fancy cocktails, and even to lazy Sunday brunches.

Fantasy Closet {Serious Pink Phase}

Hooray fantasy closet is back! It's been awhile since my last visit but it feels great to be back actively dreaming of pretty outfits again. Today, it's all about this serious pink phase I'm in. I avoided the hue seasons ago but somehow it still managed to slowly creep its way into my closet in both small and big dosages. I just hope I don't tire of it before summer ends. 

If you're in the same phase I'm in, here are ways to work around this strong hue in manners mild, moderate, and strong. 

The Elements:
MILD Finders Keepers Shorts/ All Saints Carine Top/ Madewell Suede Skimmer/ Noir The Monet Necklace/ Anya Hindmarch Burton Tote
MODERATE Preen Hutchinson Jacket/ 7 For All Mankind Skinny Boyfriend/ Marc Jacobs Shopper Tote/ Calypso St. Barth Akan Thongs
STRONG Vero Moda Jeggings/ Dana-Maxx James Blouse/ Asos Portfolio Clutch/ Christian Louboutin Pumps/ Arik Kastan Earrings
