ooh my.. i may be late for posting this scoop.. its almost the end of the month oh! my goodness! 
oh well anyway.. better late than never right? so, here goes my scoop for what's HOT and what's not for 20o8!!
1. Grecian. grecian-inspired dresses are so hot right now! Anything drapy, empire cut, flowy, dressy and in-jersey facbric. Grecian dresses/tops are perfect for any occasion.. from a casual getaway to a glam party night!
* * i am currently going gaga for in-jersey fabric tops, grecian styled or not! its soo comfy :)

2. Booties. i am at megamall, then rob galle yesterday, and i happen to realize that boots-inspired footwear is hot right now! Boots cut to the ankles, high-heeled or flat, open-toed, laced-up or buckled.. well, not really 'boots-inspired', rather, its more like any shoe/sandals that buckles or zips up to the ankles :)
* * i so love shoes!! most especially the high-heeled ones! problem with me is, "tange ako maglakad" hehe 
geez. how embarassing.. its like, whether i'll trip or i'll slip.. and most of the time its hard for me to buy pumps that fits me exactly. i'm on the half-sized department! My size is whether 5.5 to 6.5 i seldom go 7.. grr. and most of the shops here frustrates me! hehe, so most often i resort to buying ankle-strapped shoes/sandals 
so that at least my shoes won't slip even though its a little over my actual size :)

5. headbands. gold-bronze-copper-silvertoned headbands, slim or wide, fabric or plastic.. with or without bangs. headbands are still hot now giving us ladies that vintage and foxy flair.. its also good for covering up for us for our bad-hair-days!!
** oooh i need a hair fix so badly! i need.. i want huhu 
6. Maxi-dresses - yeah.. fashion feeds say that these dresses are hot this year. It flatters any body type as it tends to hide body flaws and accentuate the right curves.. [if worn the ryt way] its casual and also perfect for any occasion :)
* * GOOD NEWS is finally, fashion, today not only focuses on style and design.. its also taking its eye on functionality, individuality and comfort.. Ü though i don't know much about this maxi dress.. hehe, haven't found the perfect one for me yet ehh :D ooh but this one will do.. maxi dress from duerr
7. Wide-legged trousers - this kind of pants have been coming in and out of the trend. this type fits best with women who are heavier on the lower part of their body [hips-butt area] - the spoon-shaped body type as they call it - as wide legged trousers tend to shift the attention from the lower part to the upper part.. though, prob is, its not really that flattering on petite women.. grr!
8. waisted skirts/shorts. this has been in the trend late november 2007 i think. and it will still be hot for this year! :) this kind is perfect for hiding those unwanted love handles or bilbil's.. though its a little tricky to dress into. haven't found a pic yet.. but i found one at soulier.. its so nice i tell u.. burgundy/mahogany-colored high waisted 'shorts'.. wool-fabric.. haaaai. it is damn gorgeous.. it does not fit me nicely though, it is a little too big for me :( yeah.. saddddd!
9. Florals. yeah.. flowers blooms in spring right and flowers are so in the trend today. bright-florals that is.. so bring out that dainty-flower-girl in u and find that perfect floral designed mini dress perfect for casual hangouts or even as a prep. for my fave season!! --- summer :D
10. BANGLES! - yeap! December or i think late November last yr.. bangles are coming out everywhere!! :D metallics, asian-inspired, wood, plastics, studded.. bangles bangles oohhh bangles!! name it.. shops in the metro all got it :) BUT if u want to have bangles that u won't see anybody else's wearing.. surf into those multiply shops like BBB, oniomaniacgoddess, rowwrrr,vidajewelleries and many2x more!
