Because of its locale and theme, the Netflix series "Emily in Paris" is one of the most fashionable and chic shows that's currently airing. Although I'm not an avid follower - yet - seeing the fashion on those few episodes made me smile.
It's no surprise that this show has inspired fast-fashion brands to bring out their best Parisian chic. One of those brands is the family's perennial fave - Plains & Prints. Recently, they held a special preview of this collection at Shangrila Plaza Mall.
Since I was given an invite, and it was just near the office, it was off to Shang to check it out.
When they unveiled the racks, it was clear that Paris was the inspiration for the collection. From the classic stripes, to dotted tulle, to classic denim - a lot of the pieces would definitely fit in the streets of Paris in the summer.
Doing my usual shopping strategy, my eyes did a quick scan and looked for pieces that stood out and made an instant impact. And among the pieces on display, these really caught my eye.
First item, this halter top dress with a loose, trapeze silhouette and a ruffled hem.
The striped fabric is so French. Plus, there were 2 details that made this dress a wow: a large bow at the back, and an asymmetric hem.
The second item is a shift dress with a ruffled neckline, a front slit, and pom-poms on the hem. The style reminded me of a dress from their Spring Harvest Collection. Despite that, it's the print that really caught my eye with this piece. It was a combination of florals, the Tour Eiffel, and sketches of women.
There were other pieces that were worth buying, but because of the lack of time, these top 2 items were the ones that went from Paris, straight to Ate Bullet's closet.
But once the full collection drops in stores, Oui will definitely be buying a few more pieces!
