Wore this to the VIP opening of the newest mall in town—SM Aura Premier! It was such a fun, crazy and hectic night. My friends and I had to jump from one event to another. There were countless ribbon cutting ceremonies, blessings and shows! They also launched Hollywood A-lister Sarah Jessica Parker as the face of the new upscale mall. SM Aura Premier is a work of art—and it opens to the public today! I’ll be there for the Forever 21 fashion show at 6! See you there!

What I’m wearing: blazer (Oxygen), button down shirt (Lyle & Scott), pants (Bench), braided belt (SM Accessories), aviators (Ray-Ban), shoes (Milanos). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Button down from Lyle & Scott | The last time I wore this was at my graduation! I’m glad it fits better now. Haha! Available at Bratpack Greenbelt 5.

Mirrored aviators from Ray-Ban

Shoes from Milanos | I wanted to wear something from SM so I wore these babies from Milanos! Got these on sale for only 200 bucks! Such a steal!

Went to the launch of Crocs’ new collection last week at Whitemoon Bar. My favorite comfort footwear brand officially announces the arrival of their take on the classic topsiders! The event was perfect because it was overlooking Manila Bay and we got a gorgeous view of the sunset. I’m really happy to be representing Crocs once again along with Laureen and Camille. I’ve been a Crocs lover ever since I got my first pair. Here’s what I wore to the event!

What I’m wearing: pigeon print button down (Uniqlo), chino pants (Cotton On), watch (Aldo Accessories), eyeglasses (SM Accessories), boat shoes (Crocs). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Short sleeve button down from Uniqlo | I like how the color of the button down is soothing to the eyes—plus the pigeon print (naks pigeon talaga) added a nice little touch since there were tons of ~~kalapati~~ pigeons along the bay.

Boat shoes from Crocs | What I love about Crocs’ boat shoe line is that it has the look of a classic topsider, but has the feel of Crocs which we all love. Every time I slip on a pair of Crocs, I feel the comfort. We boys are accustomed to heavy footwear, but Crocs is entirely different with how they were able to make a whole day of walking bearable.

Case from Love for Cases | I saw this beautiful photo of the ocean (I’m deep like that lol) and had it made into an iphone case!

I really enjoy out-of-town shoots because that meant I could work and play at the same time. I’ll share behind-the-scenes pictures once the final photos have been publicly launched. Good thing I was able to relax for a bit, enjoy the view, squeeze in a quick dip and take a few photos during my break.

Button down (Hang Ten), board shorts (DC), flip-flops (Cushe), waterproof camera (Canon), Sunglasses (Original Penguin), sunscreen (Laneige Homme), goggles (SM Accessories)

Ben Sherman proudly celebrates 50 years of British style culture, and a heritage of modernism. To commemorate half a century of modernism, button-down shirts and the legacy left by the man himself, Ben Sherman will be celebrating their 50th anniversary throughout the year. With exciting collaborations, new collections making their debut and new store opening across the globe!

Staple (noun)—a basic or necessary item; a fundamental principal element; a principal commodity; an essential part, contributing to the whole.

Whether it’s a classic Harrington jacket, a plain white crew neck t-shirt or a timeless button-down, there are certain items every man should own. Ben Sherman looked at the fundamentals of the modern wardrobe, refining some of their favorite pieces whilst introducing a few ones, perfecting fits and adding fresh colour to familiar styles.

Ben Sherman presents “British Wardrobe Staples.” A collection of what they believe to be essential items for the wardrobe of the modern gentleman. From Oxford shirts in stripes and spots to gingham, shirting is, as ever, at the heart of the collection.

Plectrum (Spring 2013) by Ben Sherman looks at the influence of the East Coast scene, bringing together both Jazz inspired styling and at the same time, the attire of artisans across the pond back in Britain. With the spirit of collision becoming a hallmark of the Plectrum collection, this clash of opposing styles creates a new silhouette and inspired design detail, lending the collection a more contemporary sensibility.

The Shirt Bar—a counter dedicated to shirting and designed to make the task of finding the perfect shirt both easy and enjoyable. Staffed by Ben Sherman’s comprehensively trained expert in shirts, the Shirteliers, it is here that customer’s questions will be answered and shirting solutions delivered with a premium retail experience. I can’t wait to experience this at the new concept store opening next week at Robinsons Magnolia! I’ll blog about it soon!

Button down from Dockers ® | Shirt from Topman | I love the fabric of the button down because it’s like a hybrid of a chambray and tweed but it’s not! Basta! lol

Crocs officially announces the arrival of their take on the classic topsiders—definitely not your typical boat shoes, as they made each pair more comfy, sturdier, with a molded new look.

The new Beach Line collection gives a new twist to the iconic topsiders. Crocs made them so light you won’t feel any excess baggage when walking! With it’s lightweight form and vibrant colors, these boat shoes are definitely a pair you can wear everyday, most especially at the beach. Can’t wait to take these babies out for a spin!

Wed, 08 May 2013 21:05:00 +0800

Wearing denim on denim during summer may not be the best decision I made today but good thing this tri-tone chambray shirt is soothing to the eyes—sort of. I walked for the Folded & Hung fashion show last year and this was supposed to be the outfit I was going to wear for the fashion show. They changed it the last minute but I’m happy I got to keep the outfit haha!

What I’m wearing: Tri-tone chambray shirt (Folded & Hung), aviators (Ray-Ban), watch (Police Timewear), jeans (Marithé + François Girbaud), boots (Keds). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Tri-tone chambray from Folded & Hung | I like the gradient on this chambray because the purple was a bit unexpected but it worked! The bottom shade breaks the monotony of the outfit which works as well because I’m wearing jeans. The chambray shirt also reminds me of ube cake. Random, sorry. lol

Aviators from Ray-Ban | Got these mirrored aviators from Ray-Ban’s summer collection. It creates such a strong statement and can really change the direction of your outfit! Also available in red, green and blue.

Jeans from Marithé + François Girbaud | Get the chance to try these basic jeans for free! Shop at M+FG from March 11 to May 31, 2013 to receive a stamp card that entitles you to one stamp for every php500 purchase. Collect 18 stamps to get your free pair of M+FG basic jeans!

I am proud (and thankful) that I got to participate and walk for Ayala Mall’s Style Origin 2013 last night at Trinoma Mall. Style Origin is a much anticipated annual fashion show which gives us a preview of the latest collections for spring/summer of the different participating brands. Hosted by Robi Domingo, the show featured top notch celebrities such as Xian Lim, Julia Montes, Phil Younghusband, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, etc! I walked for the finale of the Cushe show and I’m glad I was introduced as a blogger which means they need to forgive the fact that I am too short to be a model. Hahaha! Such an honor to be the only blogger in the show. I love Cushe! I was a fan of the brand even before I modeled for it. It still feels surreal to represent the brand! A few years ago, I was doing behind-the-scenes work covering for these sophisticated fashion shows, and now I am part one! Big thanks to my Cushe family for trusting me!

Mon, 06 May 2013 09:21:26 +0800

Yep, it’s one of those shirt + jeans + sneakers kinda day. I was too lazy to get up and get moving. I wore a lightweight polo over the shirt (because everyone knows that a grey shirt is jabar-prone LOL). See, I can raise my arms with confidence haha! Hope you guys have a great and productive week ahead!

What I’m wearing: graphic shirt (Super), short sleeve polo (Pierre Cardin), jeans (Uniqlo), backpack (Outdoor Products), aviators (Ray-Ban), rubber shoes (Sperry). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Short sleeve polo from Pierre Cardin | Graphic shirt from Super | I’m digging Pierre Cardin’s short sleeve polos because they’re light, comfy and stylish. It’s very versatile too—you can wear it to a business meeting or a casual day. Pierre Cardin can be found in 10 Cinderella stores across the country.

Premium backpack from Outdoor Products | I always bring my laptop and camera with me (#bloggerduties) so I need a sturdy bag that can fit and protect all my essentials. Can’t wait to use it for my upcoming trips this summer! Available at SM Department Store, Rustans, Landmark, Fashion Rack, Duty Free Fiesta Mall, Lonely Planet, Tripologie and Robinsons Department Store.

Watch from Police Timewear | Available at Watch Republic

Rubber shoes from Sperry | I didn’t know Sperry made any other kind of shoe, but they do! These rubber shoes are not made for training but I use em anyway. Haha they make great casual shoes too!

It’s that time of the year again! Havaianas is on its feet to taking your imagination to greater heights this summer at Make Your Own Havaianas 2013! My friends and I went yesterday and got creative!

You guys can also join You + Havaianas and get a chance to have your work printed as part of the 2014 Havaianas Collection—named after you! (I’ll be one of the judges). Submit your entries here.

Kept it simple with a black sole (php895) with glow-in-the-dark straps and galaxy-themed pins (php100 per piece). Head on over to the Rockwell Tent for Make Your Own Havaianas 2013! You guys have until tomorrow only—don’t miss out!

Thu, 02 May 2013 20:31:00 +0800

Since it’s summer, I am trying my best to inject some color into my wardrobe. I think it’s time to take a break from my usual black, heavy denim, cargo pants look—for now at least! Anyway, I wore this to an out-of-town trip with my buddies yesterday. I know this is a style blog so I apologize for wearing slippers in this outfit post! Haha forgot to bring decent shoes! I’m sorrrrry lol

What I’m wearing: chambray (Giordano), tri-tone shirt (Yishion), cargo shorts (Baleno), mirrored sunnies (Von Zipper), cap (Fifth Code), bag (SM Accessories), flip-flops (Sanuk). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Chambray from Giordano | If you still want to layer during summer, look for a lightweight button down or polo to keep you comfortable (and still stylish) this summer. It will also prevent you from getting those annoying t-shirt tan lines!

Tri-tone shirt from Yishion | I discovered this new brand while I was strolling in Shang the other day. I really like the fit, fabric and style of the clothes. They have a lot of basics, graphic shirts, tank tops, denim, jeans, hoodies, shorts, etc—and it’s pretty affordable too! Check out Yishion at the 5th Level of Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

Floral cap from Fifth Code | My new favorite accessory this summer! They released only ten of these and I’m lucky to be one of the few who got their hands on these limited goods!

Went on a camping trip a few weeks ago with my friends at Nagsasa island, Zambales. I’m proud to say I survived two days in the wilderness! No signal, no internet, no decent restroom and no fast food, haha! Setting up our own tent, making new friends on the island, having drinks, sharing crazy stories and stargazing at night—it was definitely one for the books! There’s always something new to try and I can’t wait for our next summer trip!

Aztec-print board shorts (Quiksilver—Available at Fiji, Greenhills Theatre Mall), buisson cap (Lacoste L!VE), iphone case (Cases for your Gadgets), portable charger (Inboosta).

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:22:00 +0800

Here’s something you can wear to a music festival or a day trip. Make sure you guys bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, water, a fully charged cellphone, cash, IDs, some wet wipes and a handy (preferably waterproof) camera! Speaking of festivals—only 3 days to go till the biggest event this summer—Close Up Summer Solstice! 12 hours of non-stop partying? I’m sure it’s gonna be crazy!

What I’m wearing: tank top (Greater Good), hip pack (Herschel Supply Co.), pants (Topman), cap (American Boulevard), sunglasses (Topman), boots (American Eagle). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Tank top from Greater Good | This is how dark I am right now! I gotta lay off the beach and swimming a little bit before I get too black! Anyway, Greater Good finally released their summer collection—with more shirts and tank tops this season! Available at SM Mall of Asia (Entertainment Hall). You can also order online here.

Hip pack from Herschel Supply Co. | Designed to be worn over the shoulder or strung around the waist, this hip pack features multiple storage pockets which are perfect for short day trips or everyday use. Anyway, have you guys checked out the Herschel kiosk in Trinoma? It’s just on the 1st floor, right in front of Kamiseta. Drop by if you’re in the area!

Customized iPhone case from Love for Cases | I wanted something summer-y so I got this (hipster) photo from Tumblr and had it printed on my iPhone case! Looks pretty neat!

I woke up early to go jogging around Fort then changed into sweatpants and sneakers to run a few errands around the area (and take outfit shots haha). I wasn’t in the mood to wear jeans (nor contact lens) but I think it turned out nice! Athletic wear as casual wear isn’t so bad at all!

What I’m wearing: hoodie (Cotton On), sweatpants (Topman), high-top sneakers (Creative Recreation), watch (Converse), nato strap (Asprey). Hype this on lookbook.nu here.

Hoodie from Cotton On | I personally like wearing a hoodie when I do cardio because the extra sweating helps burn more calories!

Sports watch from Converse | Grey nato strap from Asprey

High-top sneakers from Creative Recreation | My favorite shoes as of now. They’re sick! Can’t wait to wear it again and style it differently! Available at Complex Lifestyle Store (Eastwood and Alabang Town Center).

Metallic earphones from Skullcandy | Got this for free when I bought the sneakers! Cool!
