A familiar Love

When I saw the poster for the "Endless Love" reboot, I couldn't help but feel that I've seen this before.


Then I remembered the poster for the Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler film, "P.S. I love you."


Maybe it's a pre-requisite for films with "love" to have the same "girl lying while guy hovers above her" shot.

More familiar fashion

One of the on-line shops that I discovered recently is this fashionable little site called sheinside.com. The clothes they sell are not only very affordable, they're also very on-trend. I see pieces that are inspired by Victoria Beckham, D&G, Valentino, and the like.

While looking at the site today, this particular dress immediately caught my attention:


I'm a huge fan of prints, and the print on this dress is majorly pretty. The elaborate print is balanced by the clean and simple silhouette, and judging by the different women who wore the dress, it's a piece that fits almost everyone.


Aside from the print and the color, another reason why it caught my attention was... (drumroll please)... I bought Ate Lissa the same dress over 2 months ago!


No wonder it looked familiar.

Familiar fashion

An interesting site that I came across recently is Red Carpet Fashion Awards. It's a rundown of all the clothes that Hollywood celebrities wear, and the runways that inspired them. Going through it is like leafing through a magazine of best dressed celebrities, which makes for great eye candy.

There was one particular photo that caught my eye. It was Lea Michele in a watercolor print, one-shoulder gown by Naeem Khan. 


The reason why it caught my eye was the fact that it looked very familiar. After a little thought, I remembered this Bisou Bisou dress that I bought for Ate Lissa last February.


Although this is a short dress, it has the same one-shoulder action. Add to that, it also has a watercolor print, although not as "splash-of-color-y" as Naeem Khan's dress.

It's fun to see how high fashion translates to everyday wear. And in this case, it seems like it's the other way around.
