More Morocco

Prints are abundant this season. Everywhere I look - from the high end stores like Escada and Gucci, to fast fashion brands like Zara and Warehouse, down to the tiangges in Greenhills - there's always something dotted, floral, animal printed, and other optically interesting patterns.

Passing by The Landmark this afternoon, there was so much eye candy. The most popular print these days seem to be the scarf print. They had it in everything - shirts, shorts, dresses, polos, name it, they've scarf-ed it.

Another popular motif is the equestrian print. There were a lot of horses, stirrups, bridles, boots and other riding related prints. There were a couple of sleeveless shirts in this motif that were really nice and chic.

Finally, there was the Moroccan print. Borrowing from the moors, there were a lot of blouses with intricate patterns that you'd usually see on tiles and walls in that part of the world.


This print was particularly fetching. It was very intricate and very classy. It had an old world elegance to it, and I just couldn't resist getting one for Ate Bullet.


Aside from the print, the color was also very, very nice. The deep blue complemented the pattern excellently, and there was another color available that was refreshingly fashionable as well.


This coral blouse has the same pattern, but the color gives it a totally different look and feel. This one is more fun and girly, as opposed to the serious and sultry look of the blue one. This color will definitely look good on Ate Lissa.


Apart from the print and the color, there are a lot of things going for this blouse. The silhouette is loose and relaxed. The fabric is a soft silk that can transition from hot to cold weather. It's versatile and can go with both skinny denims or cuffed khakis. Finally, there's The Landmark promise of affordability. Which is one of the reasons why I can't get enough of The Landmark.

Too bad they only had 2 colors. Because if they had it in other variants, I'd definitely snap them up, too. Because this is the type of top that makes you want to shout: More! More!
