Haute Stuff

Color blocking seems to be a really big trend this summer, as seen in the latest issues of local fashion magazines Mega and Preview.

From here

The covers are almost the same - I thought that kind of stuff only happens abroad, haha - but I gotta say the Preview cover wins this one! Mega's cover look a bit awkward compared to Preview's, with the latter looking more put together for me. I might be a little biased though, because I've been a Preview reader for quite a while now. 

Toni Gonzaga editorial, A Streetcar Named Desire and Below Precipitation

Preview's pages are fantastic too - I love cover girl Toni Gonzaga's editorial spread (it reminds me of Gucci and Prada S/S 2011) and this month's punchy Fashion Picks that are perfect for the sunny weather. I also found the Retail Wars article a bit entertaining, since I could relate to the idea of "I love runway fashion but I only have the budget for fast fashion" situation. And of course, the editorials Below Precipitation and A Streetcar Named Desire are epic with their global fashion appeal, something that you might see in Vogue's pages.

Still, props to Mega for The Comfort Crusade article, 10 Most Stylish Women spread, their feature on Joel Escober and the Halcyon editorial.

Both are definitely a must have this summer, so make sure that you girls buy the April issues of Preview and Mega!
