First day dressing

Here in Manila, it's rare that I buy items from shops on the day of their launch.

But the Plains & Prints x Aranaz collaboration was an exception.

The pieces were just too pretty to pass up, especially this blush dress with a flamingo print in front.

And the back was as spectacular, with its cascade of ruffles.

One down. Can another be far behind?

Aranaz for your money

The prints keep on coming. Nay, the Plains & Prints keep on coming.

After their collaborations with Vania Romoff and Barbie, here's another collection that's covet-worthy. And it's done by one of my favorite female designers, Amina Aranaz!

While she's more known for her accessories, I know she dabbles in resort wear. That's the vibe I'm getting from the prints and silhouettes in this collaboration.

It's a combination of clothes and bags, but there are actually more bags than clothes. But each piece from her clothing collection is a knock-out.

For me, this shift dress with an awesome print is the money piece:

And these 2 dresses come a very close second and third.

Sold!
