Madonna x Dolce & Gabbana: Round 2

Honeys! Let's gear up for Round 2!

It was so hard to choose our Top 5 answers. I could relate to all the mommies who wanted, no needed this. My heart was tugged at by daughters who wanted to win sunnies for their moms. I know how priorities have to take precedence over splurging on designer eyewear, how exciting it must be for fans to wear something that Madonna had something to do with. And of course, just simply how fun it must be to win something indulgent and fabulous! But I've come up with a good representation of motivations, and to make round 2 more exciting, let's ask the following readers:

...to show us how much they really want the sunnies! Here are the next steps:

1. Ladies, take a photo of yourself in a Madonna inspired look. OR! If you are shy, create a Madonna inspired look that you would wear, via Polyvore, Powerpoint or Paint. You may also do a collage manually and scan it. Then, email your entry to manilafashionobserver@gmail.com by August 6.

2. I will post your photos in a blog post.

3. We will decide on a winner on August 7!

Let the fun, begin! =)

MDG: Madonna x D&G Eyewear Collection

At around the same time last year, when Madonna & Lola announced that they were coming out with their clothing line Material Girl for Macy's, it was also reported that Madonna teamed up with design duo Dolce & Gabbana to launch an eyewear collection called “MDG”. 

The trio came out with a collection composed of six pairs of sunglasses of various shapes and designs, all with an MDG logo etched on the temple:

If you are a huge Madonna fan, then this is the closest you can get to having her with you 24/7, apart from her music of course. She did have a hand in designing these sunnies.

So, which one's your fave? *Cue Madonna's Crazy For You*

The MDG Collection is now available in Manila. Dolce & Gabbana eyewear is exclusively distributed by Branded Lifestyle, Inc. and available at Adora, Greenbelt 5, LS Pascual Optical Power Plant Mall.

'Cos We are Living in a Material World

Madonna and Lola (take note, it's not Lola Madonna ha!) decided, it's time to dress up in Material Girl! And it's out today!

“Material Girl,” the stylish mother and daughter team's newly created, fast-fashion junior collection consisting of apparel, footwear, handbags and jewelry, retails from $12 to $40, and is available exclusively at 200-plus Macy’s stores and at Macys.com.

Here's a look at some pieces from the collection:

Madonna says "Material Girl" is all about easy layering. “It’s not looking like you took too much time thinking about what you’re wearing. It’s easy. You put things on, you can take things off, you can switch things up, and it’s really the way my daughter dresses.”

So if you want to dress up like Lola, you know where to go! Here are some pegs from the line for more inspiration:
