Florsheim Philippines Return to Classics Launch

     Classic never go out of style, do you believe that? Raise you hand if your answer is a resounding yes! I always hear my father that a white ensemble from head to toe is his definition of going back to classics. Wearing all white for him never go out of style. For me, a classic piece of clothing that will always be in my closet is a pair of jeans. How do you define classic?

     Weeks ago, I was invited to Florsheim Philippines Return to Classics Launch. The event was held at the newly opened branch of Florsheim in Ayala Fairview Terraces. During the event, top regional executive of Florsheim, Mr. Eric Leung, shared to us that the brand sees their relevance in the Filipino market because more than fashion, quality tops the heart of a Filipino consumer in choosing the right kind of footwear to buy. Highlights of the event after the jump. Scroll down please :)

     Mr. Leung explained to us important points on Florsheim's products and what are the trends for men and women this 2015. Leung further narrates his impression of the discerning taste of Filipinos when it comes to footwear products. For classic brands like Florsheim, loyal customers are maintained by making sure the classic styles remain relevant and updated. New customers are gained with the development of new styles which come in different colors. Florsheim enjoys consumer preference mainly because it supplies the need of consumers for the basic and the new – produced with premium quality raw materials and meticulous product development.

OOTD: May the 4th Be With You

     Hi dearies! The title of the post says it all though it was taken days after May 4th. If you're a Star Wars fan, I presume you have witnessed the collaboration of Star Wars and Folded n Hung last December during the Star Wars X Folded n Hung launch. The collection from this collaboration includes designs from iconic characters of the first trilogy. If you want to see the event highlights, click HERE :)

     For this OOTD (Outfit of the Day), I decided to go simple casual look. I wore this to an event that I've attended at Fairview Terraces. I'm happy that my dress went well with my Skechers GoWalk2 sneakers and my snakeskin Celine inspired bag from The Baggeria. What do you think? I was sporting a red lippie here and I'm not comfortable wearing bright red lipstick. I hope I was able to pull it off, comment below what you think okay? Outfit details after the jump. Photos by Mish Rendon :)

OOTD: May the 4th Be With You

     During the launch, I was having a hard time on what style of dress to choose. This print was my second choice. I really wanted to get the other style of dress that has a mesh sleeves. But unfortunately, the sizes left on display were too big for me. The prints on this dress are the starships, cruisers, battleships and other spacecraft in the Star Wars movie.

OOTD: Pahiyas Festival

     Here's a super late OOTD post. I was emptying my recycle bin yesterday and saw these outfit photos from our summer vacation at Lucban, Quezon. We stayed there for three days and luckily was able to celebrate one of the grandest festival in our country- The Pahiyas Festival. Have you seen colorful leaf shape decorations on television ads or from random things? Those leaf shape designs are called Kiping. It's made of malagkit/sticky rice and shaped into leaves symbolizing bountiful harvest. Pahiyas Festival is celebrated every 14th of May in honor of St. Isidore for giving farmers rich and bounty harvest throughout the year. 

     Since it's summer, I opted to wear something very light and comfortable from head to toe! And because the highlight of the celebration was to roam around the town to see houses decorated with colorful and awesome kipings, I decided to wear my super comfy sandals.

OOTD: Black and Blue Urban Chic

     Hello! Belated Happy Valentine's Day :) I hope all of you had a blast yesterday. Before I start laying out the details of my outfit, I just wanna thank ze hubby for making hearts day extra special. 

     If you follow me on Instagram, I'm sure you've already seen this ensembles. This is what I wore during the L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Launch. The attire should be black and blue urban chic and these colors perfectly matches the Steampod. I'll just make this intro short, my mind is floating got only 4 hours of sleep :( Please leave a comment if you have questions. Thank you for understanding :D Special thanks to Aya of Codename Aya for these lovely photos! 

 Black and Blue Urban Chic

OOTD: Puss in Boots

     Hellos! This is my first outfit post of the year :) Thank you very much to Kai of Brew of the Day for taking my outfit shots. Remember that I'm very shy to take outfit shot in public? I'm 10x times more shy here when we did my outfit shot because it was taken inside the Landmark Trinoma but it's okay since almost all we're rushing home so there's only a couple of shoppers walking and they didn't even bother to look on what we're doing =P

    I wore this outfit 3 weeks ago when I met-up and had dinner with blogger friends. I look haggard and tired in this photo, right? And look at my tummy, it's bloated like the cat in Puss in Boots hence the title of this OOTD. Blame it on Christmas and New Year's celebration and some post holiday gatherings. There's also 3 birthdays in our family after new year including my birthday! Insert the holiday weight gain here. Whew! 

OOTD: Taken 2

     I was one of the lucky winner to Nuffnang PH's Preserving Mankind with Kojie.san Men blog contest. I won two tickets to the especial screening of Taken 2 last October 5, 2012 that was held at Shangrila Cineplex 1. Days before the said event, I was very clueless what to wear since I'm very lazy that week to dress up. I decided to wear something laid back with my old pair of jeans and a comfy shirt then just added a blazer so that my outfit will somehow look chic. 

Various Giveaway Winnings + COM

     Joining giveaways has been very exciting for me. I won numerous prizes from beauty products, skin care, clothing, and food gift certificates. I received different size of packages from small to medium pouch. Some prizes that I won were claimed directly from the person who hosted the giveaway or the office of the company giving the prize/s. Months ago, I received a big package and it's my first time to win a pair of shoes.

OOTD: Flowers

     Looking for a dress to wear in an important event or gathering gives me stress. I always look inside my closet two days before the said date and do the mix match thing-y but I can't decide which is which. I'm not good in matching colors and sometimes I lack the courage to wear the dress or the outfit that suits my personality. I always ask advice from my mom, my sibs and ze hubby. 

     When I received a VIP invitation for the Lolita grand launch, the first thing that came into my mind was the outfit. The e-vite's theme was very sweet and girly. I asked blogger friends if I need to wear something formal. When they said no, just wear something where you'll stand out means I can wear anything, a dress or a cute top and skirt will do. So I decided to wear something colorful and girly. I already made an outfit post wearing this dress here and just added a floral cover up that somehow made this outfit Japanese inspired. Tulip dress and Floral kimono cover-up combined and tada~ flowers!
