Her closet looks like heaveeen…
(Yes, Im trying to sing here. Moving on…)
Well, I do think so. From her fabulous posts at Chictopia, I just can see it is.
I love everything that she has. I love her shoes, her bags (especially the Chanel ones!), and also I think she got the perfect pants, tees, blazers, she got everything, spot on.. almost everything from my dream closet!
This girl just got freakin’ wonderful beautiful sense of style! And she’s just got all of it, from clothes, to a killer collection of to-die-for shoes to her undeniable love for the arts and ofcourse, a keen eye for style. I envy her. Grr. But nevermind me, just check out my quick interview with this wonderful girl!
Name? Tin Iglesias
Age? 18
Occupation? Art Student
School? University of Santo Tomas
Location? Quezon City, Philippines
Who are your style icons?
Lou Doillon, Alexa Chung, Lily Donaldson, Miroslava Mikheeva Duma and Kate Moss to name a few.
What do you think is/are an essential/s on one’s wardrobe?
Denim jeans that fit perfectly is an item that should be in every woman’s closet. Relaxed, simple and sexy – denims can be casual or elegant, depending on how pieces are mixed together. Also, the little black dress is a big deal in a woman’s closet. The black dress would be the default choice for all formal occasions. Fashion trends come and go and hemlines move up and down, but the little black dress will always be in vogue.
Best place to shop?
I like to shop at H&M, Zara, Mango, Topshop, Rockwell’s Archeology Wing and The Ramp Crossings in Shang. I also buy stuff from department stores, bazaars and thrift shops. Additionally, I shop a lot abroad!
Biggest splurge?
I bought more than 5 pairs of shoes and a lot of clothes during my last trip to Hong Kong!
Trend that you want to have a comeback?
Everything in the 1920’s - era of flappers, molls and gangsters. From fabulous flapper and fringe dresses to gangster suits. From cloche hats to honey beige and rose morn colored stockings.
What never gets out of style?
One can never go wrong with plain staple pieces like casual camis, tank tops and tees in solid neutral colors; white button-down blouse, black cashmere cardigan and dark blue or black fitted jeans. They’re classic pieces that are enduringly chic and never go out of style.
What influences your style?
The people I come across with everyday and my travels abroad. Catalogues of product shots, magazines, blogs and runway shows are estimable inspirations as well.
What’s your no-fuss (emergency) outfit?
A crisp white shirt, dark colored jeans, and mod shoes. I just toss on some aviators or sunglasses to give myself and my outfit an edgy and sophisticated look.
What do you dream to be?
I dream of becoming a fashion designer or working in some facet of advertising arts.
Do you have a “ritual” when you dress-up?
I oftentimes plan my outfit a day ahead of time. Whatever I’m doing that day should influence my choice.
P.S.
Speaking of Chictopia, please, please, please don’t look at my Chictopia, Weardrobe and Modepass accounts (as of now), I haven’t opened them since ever. I’m lame when it comes to all my online accounts, I don’t know what account I should open first. Thank god, I have blog. It’s, well, fun-er.
Anyway.. instead of browsing mune just go to Tin’s chictopia, and dear lord, you’d be drooling over her fantastic mix of clothes! Oh, here’s some of my best Chictopia sites:

okay, honestly, that’s not all of it. I’ve got LOADS. (Yes, that’s what I do most of the time, researching for other people.) But as of now, I only have the remaining 2 weeks studying for my college exams this year, so I’d be updating more and more pretty soon, more new interesting sites all around the blogosphere. but ofcourse, if you do have other fantastic sites on your minds (well, techinically internet explorers), do drop me a message and I will love to write a post about them, style related or not, I’d be happy to see it!
