SM Accessories| City Safari by WWW

When it's raining, we wish it's summer. We wish we are not stuck indoors and can brave the city jungle. So what would you wear? Take a cue from the latest collections available from SM Accessories. Rawr.

I've taken the liberty to mark all the items I LIKE from their poster.



I just realized how cool it is to be able to pick out items from a poster, that should save us time browsing at SM. Worry not because 99% of the time, all items in their ads are really available on the racks. Take it from me, your Department Store insider ;)

Animal print headband - is a Hollywood staple. Here's how Ms. Hilton works it:



And it reminds me of you guessed it, Rachel Zoe.



It really brings attention to the face, so before putting it on make sure you have the right hair and makeup. Tie your hair back for a slimming effect unless you have really good hair like Paris. Prints are explosive and does not go well with Einstein hair. Keep it sleek and clean.


Lace's Bib Necklace from SM Accessories, WWW PHP 299

Bib Necklaces - I hereby declare them as classic pieces because they were once a trend and has managed to stay on. In my wardrobe at least. I've written many many times how a P199 bib necklace (most of my collection came from SM) can make old ensembles shout fasyon! in an instant.

In fact, I love how my necklace (photo shown above) I bought from SM Accessories enliven an old outfit last week.

Cocktail Rings - are great for casual wear, I feel like royalty when I am wearing one. Save for it's quiet hard to work and write with them. Definitely for fun and non-working days.



Now here's your assignment, which do you like from this other poster from SM Accessories' Q3 collection?

They also have an ongoing promotion because hey, it's Women's Month! :) Get a free shower caddy for every P 1,000 purchase at SM Accessories.



Only from August 1 to 31, 2011. Happy shopping readers! :)

Fashion: Furry headband/hat from SM Accessories

Did you say department store junkie? I missed the SM accessories sale last weekend but good news, because they are still on sale and I scored juicy discounts. Spent good two hours of my life sorting through a field of headbands, hats, necklaces, and bags.



Almost all accessories including from the new collection are at 10% off.

My winning find is this furry head piece. I like it dramatic and anyone who says there's a dead animal on my head is funny.



The hat cum headband will join the rest of my sweet collection here and here.

My niece Anya, sister Joni, and I have one uniform headband. We bought it together from SM accessories last year. I always send them stuff from the department store ;)



There are loads more to buy and if you love bib necklaces like I do, you'll be ecstatic.



I held on to one like it was my dear life, these items are fast moving! Should you have difficulty deciding on how to style accessories, take a cue from the mannequins and displays. Usually they are grouped in themes like safari, bohemian, classic, etc.

If it wasn't for the nearing mall closing hour, I'd spend more time inside this wonderland. I went home with the furry head piece, a hat that's perfect for family picnics, and a bib necklace in case I find myself on a romantic date.

On that note, here is another fearless fashion statement. Black is the hottest color for accessories this season! :)

Bib Necklaces at The Ramp

Visited the Ramp yesterday for a quickie shopping fix and spotted these:


Embellished humongous bib necklaces at The Ramp

They also have shoulder pins that can be attached to your jackets for a Michael Jackson feel, really!


To die for!

Yet, one can easily create her own bib necklace with materials from fabric stores. The embellishments are also available in sewing supply stores, Divisoria maybe? I am torn between buying or just making but at Php 1,200 - if you have extra money to spare then you can grab any of these bib necklaces.


Dresses on Sale from The Ramp

Wear them with plain colored shirts or dresses. Imagine how many old pieces you can make new with a single piece. Oh how we love fashion! :)
