It was an easy, breezy and hot Wednesday and I am back wearing my favorite Hong Kong base clothing brand S for. I have worn few pieces on his collection and it seems the love continues. Check his Instagram account and support his collection.

Denim and Culottes

On me: Hat by ASOS, Denim Shirt by F&H, Culottes by SFor, Bag by GIVENCHY, Shoes by Converse

I love wearing clothing from Sfor! In the matter of fact, this brand is one of the main reasons why I love wearing black even in the middle of summer. Sfor is a local brand here in Hong Kong that heavy influenced by Rick Owens, Julius and alike but without the heavy price tag. His designs are very well thought out and can be worn unisex. Just this Friday, it opens its first store in Causeway Bay but you can always check out his instagram.

Givenchy's Shades of Gray

Zara hat, Vintage Rayban, Givenchy t-shirt, trouser and bag, H&M shirt, Hermes bracelet, Michel Herbelin watch, Converse shoes.

I am so stoked when I got this Givenchy t-shirt for 80% off at Twist last month and I am more than happy to finally wear it. I love my Philippines, but nothing beat Hong Kong when it comes with shopping. It literally more fun to shop in Hong Kong :smile:

Black is my Comfort Zone

On me: Cap by Kenzo x New Era, T-shirt & Bag by Givenchy, Short by Callaway, Tights by H&M, Boots by Dr. Marten Bracelets by WTAPS & McQ and Watch by Titus

I really like wearing all black ensembles. What not to like about black, right? It's easy to wear and an instant classic. You can never go wrong on wearing black in fact it's very hard to make a bad look in all black ensembles. How about you, what's your comfort zone in clothing? 

Skirt or Pants?

On me: Hat by ZARA, Cropped Sweater by DIY by ME, T-shirt by GIVENCHY, Pants by S For, Legging by H&M & Shoes by GIACOMORELLI

This Sunday, I decided to wear my "S for" Cris pants and the whole day all the people who take notice of my  pants asked me "Are you wearing a skirt?" that I laugh-ly reply "No... It is a pants and not a skirt." Not that there is something wrong on wearing skirt. Personally, I would love to wear a kilt or skirt one day. I really don't care if I hear some people whispering "What is he wearing?" or secretly laughing behind my back maybe because I finally found my own voice, style and confidence. I'm actually glad I wore this pants because I learn a lot about my own confidence and definitely I would love to wear this pants again and again.

 Its the 5th day of my 1 week vacation in Philippines and I am meeting my GOOD FRIEND for a stroll in the mall and dinner afterwards. Before leaving the house, I've decided to have a quick snap (with the help of my sister) of my outfit on the top of our house in Cavite City. I wish I can stay longer to spend more time with my friends but I can't because of my work in Hong Kong.

DIY #002: Cropped Sweatshirt with emblishment

GIVENCHY for Lane Crawford Vest Shirt and DIY H&M Shirt with Black Star Patches on collar.

GIVENCHY Cropped Sweatshirt

Last month, I have blogged about my latest DIY Inspiration and today I am finally ready to show you guys my version of the GIVENCHY Cropped Sweatshirt. I decided to do this DIY project because of I don't want to wear my GIVENCHY for Lane Crawford FNO vest shirt sleeveless but still I want to showcase it's awesome print. Before we start, I'd like to thanks my thank Mom for helping me out on this project.

You'll need:

• Sweatshirt
• Embellishment (mine are STAR PATCH and STAR STUD)
• Scissor
• Curve Ruler *optional*
• Pin, Needle and Thread
• Sewing Machine *optional*
• Seamstress' Chalk

Steps:

1. Lay flat the sweatshirt on its side as possible making it side seams on the top of your work table.
2. Start cutting the front and then back of the sweatshirt depending how low or high your desire cropped design REMEMBER to give enough space for the seam allowance and error.
3. Fold and pin the edge of you sweatshirt this will served as your hem.
4. Using the appropriate sewing machine start stitching the hem of you sweatshirt. In my case, I brought my sweatshirt to a professional seamstress. *Yes! I cheated a little LOL*
5. Lay flat your desired embellishment on your now cropped sweatshirt and secure each.

Materialistic Bastard #004: GIVENCHY LARGE ROTTWEILER PRINT PVC CLUTCH

I know my rottweiler "Tiny" is far different from the dog print depicted on this clutch but this remind me of her
and I MISS HER SO MUCH. *she died a couple months ago because of Cancer*

You probably knew by now, that I am totally and absolutely obsessed with Riccardo Tisci's the creative director of GIVENVHY. And who wouldn't be? Just look on his work for GIVENCHY is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and the same time its has that "spunk" or "edgy" look on each his creations. I just absolutely I adore his work. It's a work of art.

For GIVENCHY 2012 Fall collection, I am super drooling on this GIVENCHY LARGE ROTTWEILER PRINT PVC CLUTCH <3 Riccardo Tisci once again adopted one of his another famous and sought after print the "ROTTWEILER" *from hell LOL*. My only concern for this clutch is its made of PVC. I am huge leather bag person and canvass is my second choice. I tend to stay away from PVC because it don't usually aged well but in the same time it is very LOW MAINTENANCE material, practically water proof and given the fact it was made by GIVENCHY and retail for about EUR 214.92 I only expect high premium quality for this clutch.

Measured 23cm x 34.5cm hence the word  LARGE duh *hahaha* and it's now ready for pre-order at LUISA VIA ROMA and be expected to be shipped not longer than September 30. I want to think about it first since I'm still lusting for the Pierre Hardy Cube Print Pouch at Lane Crawford that is now on 49% SALE.

Think. Think. Think.

Materialistic Bastard #03: Givenchy Bird of Paradise

After I've got my Givenchy Censored Pin-Up Scarves, my craving for more Givenchy shifted into over drive. I want more GIVENCHY! And for this time I am craving for another highly coveted Givenchy SS2012 collection print the BIRD OF PARADISE.

I am drooling for the Givenchy's Bird of Paradise prints ever since they have launch it from their Spring Summer 2012 collection. To be specific, I am talking about the Givenchy Bird of Paradise Cotton Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt which is available at MRPORTER with a whopping price tag of GBP 358.33. I know I want it but I am not out of my mind to slave myself on saving up just for a T-Shirt. With a price tag like that its clear I can't afford it. *Boohoo*

Luckily for us mere mortal, LUISA VIA ROMA released an exclusive Givenchy Bird of Paradise Printed Cotton Bandana without the hefty price tag! It comes in two different color *ivory/black and green* measured 70cm by 70cm and made of 100% Cotton which also explain the EUR 65.61 price tag. Its a bargain if you ask me. But, if you feel like spending little bit more than that then maybe the Givenchy Bird of Paradise Silk Crepe Scarf is the one for you. Slightly bigger than the cotton bandana 90cm by 90cm to be precised and made of 100% silk. All scarfs are available for pre-order at LUISA VIA ROMA and will be shipped not later than August 31. So what scarf are you, the fancy one or the low key one *wink wink*

Happy Wednesday!!!

Shopaholic Bastard #2: GIVENCHY Censored Pin-Up Scarves

My newest shopping acquisition Givenchy's SS2012 Censored Pin-Up Scarves.

Ever since I saw the Givenchy's SS2012 collection I was obsessing and drooling over the Censored Pin-Up print. I know want it, but because of its "not so friendly price tag" I just can't commit on getting one. Boohoo :-(

Then last week, after reading Bagaholiboy's blog about Givenchy's Pin-Up Scarf and how affordable it is EUR64.28 compared to its prior successors, I know it will going to be a struggle for me to resist. It took me a day to give  in *see I struggle LOL* and I am so happy to get mine before the stock run out at LUISAVIAROMA. It's simply too good to pass up and throw away my chance to own such awesome bargain. It is made of 100% cotton and measures 70cm by 70cm with print of Censored Pin-Up in the middle surrounded by birds, iris blooms, studs. It is more than a scarves for me, it is an ARTWORK.

It is more than a scarves, it is an ARTWORK.
Unboxing :)

Happy Weekend!!!
