Born and raised in the Philippines, my love and interest for anything exotic and tropical runs in my veins. For this summer season, exotic and tropical inspired fashion is my pick for trendiest of trends for summer. Of course ,there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for this look. Colors: chose bright hues and pastels. Prints and patterns: floral, ethnic or global prints, abstract shapes over geometric. Materials for shoes: natural fibers, cork or wood. Jewelry: pearls, natural fibers, bright enamels. Handbags: natural fibers, canvas, faux leather. Also, use your fashion sense and style sensibilities to achieve a style that expresses you!The Smart Stylist Recommends:
