#WhichGolaAreYou UK's Gola Sneakers Launch

     If my memory serves me right, I've seen an old friend wearing Gola sneakers ten years ago. I was in college back then and in one of our unplanned meeting, he was sporting a brown sneakers with the word Gola printed on the lower side of the shoes. I think that was one of the sneakers in the heritage model collection that I've seen in Gola's international website while browsing.

     Well, UK’s Gola brand of sneakers brings its coolest collection for the classic, sporty, trendy and edgy sneaker aficionados in the country. Thanks to ELRO Retail Corporation (ERC), a leading player in the footwear retail and distribution industry in the country, by bringing the different styles and collections from UK’s hippest lifestyle sneaker – Gola! More photos of the collection and highlights of the event below :)

Why Gola?

• Drawing on its British roots which dates back to 1905, Gola has truly stood the test of time and has made its mark in the fashion world. 
• Designed with different personalities in mind, each style complements the unique taste, outlook, and individualities of independent-minded Gola wearers.
• Gola is known for its unique versatility that made it possible for the brand to come up with four distinct looks that will surely match the fashion sensibilities of today’s sneaker-loving generation.
• There are 2 core collections: Harrier, which just gets better and better each season. The collection retains Gola’s original style but carries key look of the season. Harrier is bold yet absolutely wearable -- a wardrobe staple that’s guaranteed to make a trend statement. Another one is Bullet which celebrates its 40th anniversary as this top selling training shoes makes a comeback as a timeless season all-rounder.

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.

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.

     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.

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.
