COCO.

Wore this recently thrifted shirt with my bowler hat and gold shoes. :D I loooveee the thrifted shirt because as the night went on, I didn't feel HOT at all in that long sleeved shirt. PLUS! The fabric used was sooofftt so I felt really comfortable the whole night, like I was in my PJs or something. :))



I went to my friend Nina's birthday dinner bash and wanted to wear something simple so I decided to wear this and not bring any bag at all. I was too lazy to bring one eh. We ate dinner at Bubba Gump and A LOT of food was ordered but few were eaten and we went to The Hideout which is also in Greenbelt, here are some photos....




My friend, Beau.



Dayanara/Dee (sometimes I call her Dayanara and sometimes I just shout Sexy!), The Birthday GIRRRL, Nina! And that's Pamela (the one with the headband) but we call her Pam.




OOooohhh, I like this shot. =)) Pa-hipster amp.


I traded my hat for a headband with Pam! Does it suit us? =))

And this is us, waiting for our cars to fetch us and I got home at around 1?. :))

When She Kissed Me It Felt Like A Headbutt.


UGHHHH!!! I AM IN LOVE WITH THE VOCALIISTTT!!!

I am alsoooo so in love with his style. The cute sweater and the cool hat, he can carry both styles and carries it SOOO WELLL. I also love that he likes to be SO casually cool and at the same time wouldn't mind wearing suspenders(seen on his other vid, I Got Love) and a bow tie(seen in this vid, even though it's not tied) =)). UGhh, googled it and his name is Johnny 'Itch'. :)) Soo badass.

Check them out coz I like them and their songs and hopefully you guys will too!

Trippin' with my Camera!

The connecting bridge to LRT 1 and 2.
This term is the term where I get to have FOTOGRA as part of my class and I'm soo psyched! Tuesdays are FOTOGRA days which means I HAVE TO BRING my camera to school! Since it's my first time to bring it to school, I decided to take some photos on my way to school. :)



If you look closer the train just came and I missed it...ON PURPOSE. =)) I was completely taking my time ok? OH AND YES, People were stariiinnggg. I hate that part. :



Everytime I take the LRT, which is like EVERYDAY :)), I love looking at those two weird and identical buildings, I dunno why but they just look cool with the dome-y thing on top. :)) Imma post a photo of my FOTOGRA teacher, he's cool. :>

My Own Version of a 2000+++++ Bucks Outfit. :))








These photos are from Balmain. UGHHHH. SLASHSLASHDEADZSLASHWRISTSSSS. My favorite label of all time *insert Kanye's voice* OF ALL TIME. (Kahit na punit punit ang damit, Christophe Decarnin makes it so cool! =)) )
Anyhoo, I got "inspired" by it so I decided to wear one of my scarves since I NEVER USE ANY OF THEM! This is my first "lucky" scarf that's seen the living daylights and roamed the streets with me. :>


Oh, and notice the baaaggg!!! I was selling that bag but no one was buying it so I decided to use it na lang...THEN, LUCKY ME, my friend Neal came along and said he'd buy it for his friend Ella as a gift!!! IT'S MY LUCKY DAY! :)))

What do you thiinkk?
Oh, and sorry kung ang vain ko, I can only do this when I am alone and when I use my timer. =))

Pocket Squares and Rainy Days.

This is what I wore last Friday (?) when I went out with my mom for dinner. My brothers went out so my mom and I decided to eat out and since I was in the mood for pocket squares, I decided to use it! :D
We were supposed to go to Metrowalk to buy some dvds but it rained pretty hard and my mom kinda freaked out and wanted to go back home to make sure everything's ok. : MODERN FAMILY DVD, I CRAVE FOR YOUUUU. :
Here's the breakdown of what I wore:
Zara blazer, Armando Caruso pocket square, Covet shoes, denim shorts, and tee from Summersault.


The Bots


These kids are pretty good for their age and they clearly prove that age doesn't matter. I discovered them through the magazine Dazed & Confused which recommends a lot of cool indie artsy folks out there. I might post the magazine someday and show 'em to you when I have the time to scan them :)) In the meantime, revel in all the awesomeness of these boys!


They remind me of The White Stripes with the garage punk type of music...badass, very badass indeed.

Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything.


PERFECT SOONNGGG FOR EVERY STUDENT OUT THERE!!!! =))))

The Lazy Song sung by Bruno Mars, I love this guy! He can sing AND make great songs! I posted this coz my friend reminded me of this song. This is the last one for now... :)

We were lovers, now we can't be friends.


UGH. COMPLETELY IN LOOOVEE WITH THIS SOOONNGG.. DEAADDZZZ.

I'M NOT IN LOOOVEEE. By Crystal Castles featuring Robert Smith of The Cure. THE CURE! Who could say no to that?!?! Oh, and the synths...AMAZING. :))))

Let's Party in the Supermarket!



Soo catchy, reminds me of Hanson 90s era...but better. =))))

I've Got Love sung by The King Blues. :)

You're Not the Only Person to Get It Wrong.

...it's alright!


Sung by The Rumble Strips.

Let's Go Stealing Cars Tonight.


While searching for some new songs to listen to aside from my usuals in my cellphone, I encountered this video and it's reeeeaaally good and I love the lighting in the video. The riffs of the guitar=awesome!

It kind of reminds me of the Yuyu Hakusho ending! =))) But no matter, I still like Kid Harpoon and his other songs. Here's what I mean about the Yuyu Hakusho ending theme. :)))


This is the Japanese version, it's the original.


And here's the English version. :)

Aside from the Yuyu Hakusho part, it still kind of reminds me of the old 80s songs like The Smiths' There is a Light that Never Goes Out. Have fun with the video and reminiscing about the Yuyu Hakusho days you had when you were a kid because I know I enjoyed it! :)

Bow or Neck?


Which one do you prefer?

I Love My Boys. (Suit up!)

Azur suit, Pabder shoes, Debenhams shirt, and Wharton bow tie.
My brother Bong is not that much into "fashion" as my other brother Nino is so he asked me if I could help him out with what he could wear to a "business party" that they were going to attend. Of course, how could I say no to that?! I love guy clothes okay? =)))



I styled his outfit and got inspired by The Sartorialist and GQ photos (since it's the Men's Fashion Week right now) AND most of all by Swagger360. (Swagger 360 is all about classic styling of men but sometimes a little modernity is being posted there, check it out as well coz he doesn't just take photos of guys/men, he also takes photo of some women and their rad shoes :>)


Anyhoo, here are the deetz in my bros outfit:




I was aiming for a khaki look for the shirt inside but couldn't find one and beige is not good of a replacement for my khaki idea so we opted for this color, dark brown. I didn't want to go with the oh so repeated and oh so OVERLY USED COLORS like black, white, blue, OR ANYTHING PINSTRIPED (my eyes are rolling as I type this =)) ) so we got this.


Instantly, as we got the coat on and the color for the shirt, I thought of maroon with a cute design that resembles art nouveu style but couldn't find one. So I got Bong this maroon bow tie with small boxes as a design, very cute and I bought it in SM department store for just around 200 bucks. I even wanted him to wear a pocket square but decided it's too much.




the chest pcoket.


I asked Bong what he wanted, bow tie or neck and he asked "Would bow tie be possible?" and of course I said "YES!" with joy. :)))) I always tend to ask Bong if it's cool with him (about the decisions I make) and make sure he's comfy with what I give him because in the end, I still want it to be him and NOT COMPLETELY ME. :)




the cuffs.




the shoes



back view



and the buttons.

But, I didn't get what I wanted him to wear that night, you'll see later why. :(


Here, my brother is getting ready as well...


(Karl Lagerfeld collar, is that you?! :)) )


I also helped him out in getting prepared and I was really having fun even though they were rushing me because they had a meeting to attend before the party AND CAN I JUST SAY THAT MY HEART WAS THUMPING?!?!!


Here's a little bromance in the moment. :''>


and.. taddaaaa~~ tie fixed. :))






Here's my brother loving his outfit and posing trying to be a male model or feeling being taken by The Sartorialist. =)))) HE EVEN GOT A HAIRCUT JUST SORTA LIKE SCOTT'S FROM THE BARBER SHOP! =))


Topman coat, shirt and socks,
Tailored pants, and Cerutti neck tie, and Prada bag(seen on the last photo).


Here's his shoe and look at his socks! The little deetz are the best :))




AND OFFF THEY GOOO~~~



NAT!


My mom and brother, oh actually everyone thought that it was better if he used a necktie because some said that he looked "too uptight", some said Nino had red in his socks so he shouldn't wear the bow tie 8- , and Nino said he looked like he was going to prom (EYES ARE COMPLETELY ROLLING RIGHT NOW!!! 8- ).


My goddd!!! In OTHER PLACES THAN THE PHILS, they wear bow ties on a normal dayyy!!! That was even the basis of my research from Swagger 360! : Casual Flyyy guys. Casual fly*.


*MEANS your outfit is cool for a normal day and can be worn at night to a party-Swagger 360*

So my brother ended up wearing this tie. It's nice..but don't you guys get tired of being in a room filled with people who are in ties as well?! DON'T YOU JUST WANNA BREAK OUT FROM THE NORMS? Coz that's basically me...trying to break the norms and my mother usually disapproves and sometimes Nino seconds the motion. :






But hey, it's not the end of the world yet and someday,
I will have the last say...so for now, we get half my idea down the streets and the others shoved back in the closet. :


To end this long post, photos of my brothers nicely suited up. Barney Stinson would be a proud man today. :))
