Out of all the fashion capitals of the world, there’s still one city I haven’t checked off my list yet–London. It’s a pity really. I’ve always loved British fashion so to see it in the flesh would be a dream come true. Maybe some day I’d be able to squeeze in a trip to London, but for now, the World Wide Web will have to do. At least I can still explore brands from all over the world without having to spend a fortune and leaving the comforts of my home.
Here’s a British brand I just discovered late last year–Mina. It’s a fairly new brand established in 2005 but already it has been at the forefront of press publications and has an impressive celebrity following including Sienna Miller and Fearne Cotton. When I first saw its A/W collection, I immediately understood why Mina is a local favorite. I seriously had the hardest time choosing which item to get!
I ended up choosing this simple floral dress. I couldn’t resist its romantic colors, cute little sleeves and bubble skirt design. It’s perfect for lazy days but at the same time, it also has plenty of room for styling. During the summer, I can already see myself wearing it like this, with a belt cinching it at my waist and a boho-inspired vest over it. Then for fall, when I travel to cold countries, I can wear it loose with stockings underneath and an oversized mustard trench coat, scarf and ankle boots. I really get carried away whenever I find a piece of clothing that I like. My mind just goes on overdrive thinking about all the possible ways of wearing it!

Speaking of London, I too have yet to step into its soil. I actually have Tricia G’s London posts bookmarked. :P And wou;dn’t believe it, Cathay Pacific has a promo fare for Europe this month. Fare applies for tickets for 2 only though. T^T
I should check that out! :)

I actually like Zara shoes :)

Cams, do you mind if i ask what curling iron do you use? i haven’t used one before :D sorry, your long hair just reminds of how you miss curling your hair since you’ve got a shorter hair now :)
I can’t make out the brand name of my favorite curling iron. Some of the letters are blurry already. It’s ??asho ? I bought it in Hong Kong. I’m guessing it’s Japanese :) I also use Babyliss :)
hello Camille! super nice talaga yung socks kkkk

Thanks Sharon!
Hi Miss Camille! Parang baligtad po ata pagkakasuot nyo ng watch? And cute nyo talaga. :) Hindi ba nagagasgas whenever you pile it with your arm candies?
OMG! Oo nga noh! Hahaha that’s so funny! I never even noticed LOL! This watch? Hindi naman. :)
Another cute outfit! :)
I want a pair of those adorable socks!
Thanks Elle! :) Dickies has so many of them!
:O ! why does the dickies link direct me to facebook home page ?
I think the page isn’t active anymore :(
the dress is so adorable. I love the prints it is so feminine :)
Thanks Maebs!
You look so girly in this outfit. I love the little bow detail on the socks.
Thanks Christine!
wow i super love your dress.. it looks vintage-y.. and super love ko din ung socks mo i thought u just designed it by yourself.. haha.. just a random question again, when u buy something online or from abroad do you also pay custom tax here in the philippines because the last time we bought online i paid thousand pesos.. i wonder if what do you do to minimize your custom taxes.. and last thing, (sorry for many questions) is your mac book pro with retina display user friendly? thanks for the answer (in advanced) lol..
btw, whenever i comment here feeling ko close tayo kasi parang nakakausap kita in person.. haha.. (sorry for being “feeling-close”) sana makita kita in person.. magiging fangirl ako for sure.. i hope okay lang magpapicture sau if ever i would bump to you somewhere… :) thanks! :*
Hi Bianx! Yes my new laptop is user-friendly but maybe it’s because I’ve been a Mac user for such a long time already. The interface is definitely much better :) As for the taxes, sometimes yes and sometimes konti lang. I don’t really get it as well but usually if I have to pick the package up from the airport, yun yung mahal :) If it’s door-to-door, cheap lang :)
Close tayo lahat dito!
Ganda ng dress. Love d color as well :)
Thanks Jane!
i wonder how you get ideas easily like putting up socks to the whole ensemble…bumagay ahhh
Thanks MK! :) I don’t know, I guess I just really love dressing up! :)
cute socks!
Thanks Jenna!
This may sound like a really random question, but how do you do up ur belt and make it stay? This is the problem I always have with dresses which don’t have the loops for a belt
Just make it tight! :)
The print is so lovely and I adore the colors… Beautiful scenery too! :D
Thanks Anaivilo!
So beautiful!!! <3 <3 <3
Thanks Saly!
Again, the haircolour.. I so love it! I know I say it all the time, but it´s so true :-)

Thank you Elle! Love it as well :)
pretty dress! can’t take my eyes off it! :)
I know what you mean! :)
Looking gorgeous as ever! I can totally relate to that feeling of sudden rush of styling ideas when you spot a perfect clothing item. <3 I visited their site, not sure if they do deliver here in PH though. They only have the UK delivery rate :(
They do!!! At least I think they do because I got mine LOL :)
:(
Nandito ka pala sa Cebu nung Sinulog. Sayang hindi kita nakita…tsk’2..
San po ba kayo nagpunta nung Sinulog Miss aside sa Baseline? Never pa akong nakapasok sa mga ganyan kaya hindi ko alam kung nasaang bahagi ng Cebu iyan makikita…
Gusto ko tuloy maglupasay nang mkita ko ang blog entry ni Ms. Kryz…huhuhuhuhuhu
I love your dress here and your overall look. :)
You are so ganda!
Hahaha awww, di bale, we’ll visit again next year! :) Kryz has always been our tourist guide so hindi ko rin alam where it is exactly, I just follow haha!
I want that dress!!!!:)
Go order! :)
This is such a cute look, especially with the socks! :) I still haven’t pulled off a look wearing cute socks but I will try soon enough. :P and I agree, we share the dream of going to London some day! Here’s to our dream that might soon come true for you (than for me, haha! XD)
Haha malay mo it might come true for you as well! :) Thanks Karen!
The dress is really lovely and the socks are too cute! I love the ribbon detail. I thought you just put it on the socks. Haha :)

Been to London for a week just this December and I must say that MOST of the people are fashionable there! :) I hope we have winter weather here in the Phils too so we can also layer & style our clothes like them. Go there Camille! I’m pretty sure you’ll have a wonderful time there touring & having outfit shots! :)
