OOTD: White Walls

     If you're a fan of the movie- Cars, prolly you're thinking that the title of this post will showcase those white walls! Cars movie fanatics surely have an idea that I'm talking about white wall tires. Well, this is Kenzo's second outfit of the day (OOTD) post for this year and I'm excited to share the outfit details below. 

     But first, the title of the post is somewhat connected with the word 'white', not the white wall tires that was mentioned in the movie (the scene of McQueen, Luigi, and Guido) because it's more of the color of Kenzo's outfit. Since white sneakers are sooo in, let me share with you his white kicks and why I chose the style and the brand after the jump :)

OOTD: White Walls

     So here's a short story about the brand and style of Kenzo's white sneakers. By the way, the hubby and I still believe in the saying "old school is cool" that's why we have chosen K-Swiss. If you're a 90's baby, I'm sure that you have heard of the brand before. We saw this white sneakers on display at Rookie USA Fairview Terraces and I fell in love with it immediately.

OOTD: White Walls

Top- Converse

Bottom- Uniqlo Easy Pants

Shoes- K-Swiss Hoke Strap Sneakers

Socks- OshKosh B'gosh

     I asked hubby's opinion first before buying this sneakers. And because he's a fan of classic and simple style sneakers, we agreed to buy the sneakers for Kenzo's P.E. shoes this coming school year but because it's simply stylish, Kenzo's been abusing the shoes already. Hahaha! 

OOTD: White Walls
K-Swiss Hoke Strap White

     Okay, so much for the shoes! We also bought this white Converse shirt at Rookie USA because it's on sale. For every cash payment transaction, buyers can score Converse and Levi's shirt for only Php 200. The original price of this shirt is Php 600+. What a steal!!! I'm not sure if the promo still applies until today though :(

OOTD: White Walls

     Last look how white this K-Swiss Hoke Strap sneakers because it looks different right now. Not that white white since Kenzo wears this more than twice a week. It's a bit hard to maintain white sneakers especially if an active kid wears it. Expect that it will get dirty every now and then. 

OOTD: White Walls

     More than the maintenance of white sneakers, I'm happy that I've chosen this classic style. Simple yet stylish and wearable. Hope that Kenzo's feet will grow a little slower than the average rate. I want him to really enjoy wearing this sneakers because it's easy to style and yes, it's comfy too. This is Kenzo's outfit of the day (OOTD) when we visited KidZania Manila weeks ago and witnessed the launch of National Art and Design Academy.

Until here mommies, let me know what you think of Kenzo's White Walls OOTD :)

Good Times!~

Oxygen x Billboard Launch

     Fashionistas and Music lovers united in an afternoon of music and fashion last April 14, 2016 at the TriNoma Activity Center for the launch of renowned fashion and lifestyle brand and partnership with the world's leading music publication- Oxygen x Billboard!

     If you got passion for music and fashion then you will definitely get hooked with Oxygen’s latest collection! This collaboration is not the usual partnership of local brand with international groups. Methinks this kind of collaboration will only be made possible by brands that are already an institution. Sharing with you the highlights of Oxygen x Billboard Collection launch below.

Oxygen x Billboard Launch

     This summer, well-loved local fashion brand, Oxygen, announced that it has entered into a partnership with Billboard, the world’s premier source for trends and innovation in music, to come up with a collection that aims to help today’s youth to experience, discover and celebrate their passion for music and fashion.

Oxygen x Billboard Launch

     The OXYGEN X BILLBOARD collection pieces will be a hit in your closet as I've seen basic colors like white, black, and gray. These colors are perfect for everyday use. Features of the collection include:

Oxygen x Billboard Launch
A collection of graphic tees, perfect for everyday wear!

• Items for everyday use, including graphic tees, pullovers and accessories like caps and bags. 
• The designs, which take heavy inspiration from the rock and hip-hop genres, come mostly in black and white—save minimal pops of color here and there for select items—and scream of New York street fashion.
• Affordable and budget-friendly items.
• The brand is encouraging people to move out of their comfort zones and do things that allow them to leave a mark; to make a statement an by wearing a piece or two from the collection means making your own fashion statement.

Oxygen x Billboard Launch
Simple yet fashionable caps, anyone?

Oxygen x Billboard Launch
Perfect small errands bag.

     These fashion pieces were on display during the event. There was a pop-up store that showcased full range of Oxygen collab with Billboard on the spot. We also witnessed musical performances that made us vibe to the sounds of bands and DJ :)

Oxygen x Billboard Launch

     And to give us a glimpse of the collection, Sam Concepcion performed while the models strut in the catwalk for that much awaited fashion show. Those models showed us the how to style Oxygen x Billboard collection for everyday wear.

Penshoppe x Sandara

     The pambansang 'krung krung' is back! Last week Sandara Park visited the country because she's now an ambassador and endorser of Penshoppe! Sandara Park or Dara is the newest face of Penshoppe and last Friday, I was one of the few who witnessed her charm and beauty at the Penshoppe x Sandara presscon held in one of the prime hotels in Ortigas.

     Truly, the sweet and charming Sandara Park who is now a Korean K-Pop sensation showed us that she's a Filipino at heart. She answered the interview in Tagalog and shared to us that she really loves our country. More about the Penshoppe x Sandara below :)

Penshoppe x Sandara 

     Sandara was interviewed by Champ Lui Pio and she gamely answered all the questions prepared by the invited press and bloggers that afternoon. She shared to us that even before she became an endorser of Penshoppe, she already liked the brand. Now that she's an endorser, Dara said the she's very proud and feel comfortably fashionable wearing Penshoppe's key pieces this summer season like the joggers, jackets, and skirts. 

Penshoppe x Sandara 

Sandara Park and Champ Lui Pio

Here are some highlights of Sandara Park's visit:

• Well-loved all over Asia, especially by Filipinos, Sandara Park is frontlining the Spring-Summer 2016 campaign of international fashion brand, Penshoppe.
• Sandara attended series of events set up by Penshoppe, including a meet and greet with fans and a denim fashion show that also doubles as a re-launch for the brand’s Denim Love scents.

“To say that Sandara is one of Asia’s most sought-after style icons is an understatement,” shares Jeff Bascon, Brand Director of Penshoppe. “She has a strong sense of style that is all about standing out from the crowd. This fits perfectly with our brand’s philosophy of offering clothes that are always on-trend yet still cater to people’s individual tastes. We both believe that there should be a good balance between individuality, personal taste, and being fashionably up to date.

”Filipinos really love Sandara. One could say that flying her in is our way of showing our appreciation for everyone’s continued support of Sandara and Penshoppe,” adds Bascon. 

     Penshoppe- an international brand known as the youth’s guide to everyday fashion, over the last couple of years, has amassed a great following due to its ability to offer trendy yet reasonably priced clothes that allow anyone to look effortlessly stylish, as well as partnering with some of the biggest names in the international fashion and entertainment scene. Aside from Sandara, Penshoppe’s pool of brand ambassadors include Sean O’Pry, Mario Maurer, and most recently, Kendall Jenner and Lucky Blue Smith.

Feature: Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

     In this modern age and time, we often forget to look back in the past- our history and things that we learned in our religion class. We are all busy with our careers, businesses, and daily life that sometimes we don't have time to reflect. I noticed that in our culture, religion is very important, as it is already a part of our lives. For Roman Catholics, there are different relics displayed at homes. Even the smallest piece of accessories shows our faith. But whatever religion we have here in our country, symbols that shows religion and history still matters to us.

     When I was young, I like wearing rosary bracelets. I have a Christian friend who had pin buttons on her bag with bible verses. My relatives in the provinces have different figures of Mama Mary and other saints. I can say that in this act we're showing our faith but we hadn't have a glimpse of Holy Land. What if the bracelets, pin buttons, and religious display came straight from Holy land? That would be nice but it will also be more expensive, right? Last year, I was invited to the launch of Authentica. I have no idea about the brand but when I saw what's in store for me, I was so amazed because they have one-of-a kind fashionable items that's also inspirational. Let me present to you Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

     Stay seemingly connected with your religious past, and take a piece of history – wherever you go, with fashion pieces inspired and derived from the Holy Land. Individuals, whether young or old, can surely embrace these pieces as they usher in an era of stylish relevance, while still embracing the past.

     Recognized globally and distributed by EnergyGold Corp. in the Philippines, Authentica are products that are unique and truly one of a kind as they bring a closer feel to the Holy Land. Mostly seen as more than a spiritual accessory, “These products also integrate classic and sophisticated hand-made designs to their jewelries and displays – successfully mixing fashion with devotion,” says Jadeeyah Abang, EnergyGold Corp.’s Vice President.

Feature: Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

     In time for the holiday season, I'm sure that you're still thinking of what kind of gifts to give to your friends, relatives, and loved ones. I highly recommend Authentica products because:

1. Spiritually inspired, these products incorporate materials and basic elements from the Holy Land, such as Oil from Mount Galilee, Soil from chosen regions of the Holy Land, and Water from the Jordan River – all of which are authentic to assure the product’s purity and high quality. 

Feature: Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

2. Authentica products are versatile and flexible. Each pieces like the pendants and charms can be used as a necklace, bracelet, key chains, display ornaments. Anything that you can think of!

3. It's made from a very sturdy glass so even if you accidentally dropped it, fret not that the water, soil, or oil will spill on the ground unless you intentionally blow force to it.

4. The prices are very affordable too! The cheapest I saw that is on sale now is less tan Php 500.

5. The designs are unique and inspiring.

6. Handcrafted so it's a work of heart!

7. There are wide array of designs to choose from. I swear, you'll have a hard time choosing so be sure to pick the design that you really want but if you have the budget you can get almost all! You can choose from 925 sterling silver or gold plated material. All you need is  to browse the site to see all the designs :)

8. They have amazing deals and discounts too. So if you're buying this as a gift, then you should start hoarding now!

9. Don't worry about authenticity. Check the wax seal, and you're sure that it's made from Holy Land.

Feature: Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

10. Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft products will fit whatever religion you have because they have designs that have cross which is a fave among Roman Catholics, or those that doesn't have cross for other religions.

Feature: Authentica by Journey Spiritual Craft

     Filipinos can surely get a glimpse of the Holy Land through these products. Authentica products are locally distributed by Journey Spiritual Crafts – and can be availed online, through its online partners. Those from other countries can also lookforward to being able to take home these products as it aims to expand to South Asian counties like Japan and Korea, and Australia.
