Owning the day.

On me: S For top, Uniqlo Jeans, Givenchy Bag & RayBan Sunglasses

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.

Color and Prints with extra Studs

On me: Sunglasses by RayBans, Shirt by Burberry Prorsum, Short by IZZUE, Shoes by Giacomorelli

Bracelets: H&M, Topman and Hermes

I'm so glad that I have finally got a chance to wear my Giacomorelli shoes. I had this for a while now and I am having trouble in getting an inspiration how I am going to wear it. I know it would be much easier if I just pair it with a simple shirt and bottom to let the shoes shine by itself. Knowing me & how my mind works when it comes for fashion it's always GO BOLD OR GO HOME. Then voila! I saw my old but favorite Burberry Prorsum shirt from SS2012. It's like an answer to my prayer LOL. The ethnic or ikat pattern of the shirt and the geometric pattern of the shoes compliment each other. I'm not an expert but I am guessing it all because both are in the same color hues. I am so happy that these two print work perfectly together. 

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

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

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.

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

 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.

Closed Road: Occupy Central

Materialistic Bastard #005: Agnes B. "My Bag" in Lambskin

This bag would be a perfect birthday gift for me this year. *wink wink* LOL

Last Sunday, me and my mother went to Causeway Bay, Times Square to look for a birthday gift for my father. We want to give him a wallet since we saw him checking out some leather wallet the other day. We went through one store to another on search for that special gift and Agnes B is our last destination. Though we didn't find a wallet that my father would like, I ended finding a new bag to be obsessed with.

Its the Agnes B. "My Bag" in lambskin. To be honest, I am not fan of Agnes B. but after seeing this bag in the corner of my eyes in an instant I became a fan. Constructed in soft supple lambskin and nylon handles and it also comes with a ever so useful detachable nylon shoulder sling for that handsfree action. The bag is very light weight and very spacious, very ideal for a day bag for men. It does come in different sizes but I love to have the smallest size which retail for HK$4390. And if that price tag is too stiff for you you can always get the classic "My Bag" in full nylon for HK$1695 and it comes in two colors black and red.

Agnes B. "My Bag" just bump itself in my top list of drool worthy bags for men.

Even Tim Blanks of style.com and 'The Sartorialist' gave Andrea Pompilio such good review and describe him as "one to watch on menswear scene". But before of all this, he first hone his talent with big fashion houses like Calvin Klein, Prada and YSL. No wonder why his collections is one of the coveted pieces of this season.

But in the bright I got this Andrea Pompilio Chimpanzee Print Tee.

I've first discovered Andrea Pompilio from MyMANyBags' Instagram post of chimpanzee print canvass tote bag *w/c is very in-trend for this season*. I have searched high and low for this tote bag but NADA I can't find it. So I decided to put this bag on my wishlist together with another Andrea Pompilio Chimpanzee print tee *also available at luisaviaroma.com* and few more thingsI like to have. About a week ago, I paid I.T at Hysan Ave. Hong Kong a visit for windoharmless w shopping. As I was pulling out clothes on the rack I saw an Andrea Pompilio Chimpanzee T-shirt! And my luck hasn't stop from there I also found out that its the only piece left, its in my size and its on 50% off discount for that day only!! *BAM* It was like meant to be. I didn't hesitate to march my way to cashier and went home as a happy shopper.

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.

My TOP 5 ASOS SALE Pick

When I was younger, Christmas is my most favorite season but now that I am "less" younger *in denial alert LOL* my most favorite season is SALE SEASON!!!

SALE SEASON is like X'mas for but MUCH BETTER and it comes twice a year. And unlike X'mas of me ending up with useless and unwanted gifts, SALE  SEASON gives me the opportunity to get myself something I love and I really want. *LOL I am such a ungrateful bastard* Speaking of SALE SEASON... ASOS is having an epic #ASOSsale with up to crazy 70% off on their selected item and for limited time only.

(1) Zatchels Leather Barrel Bag: HKD 414.29 - you've probably guessed my first pick would be a BAG. Made of 100% leather, small but very practical. I can fit in my Ray-Ban, small wallet and mobile *my essential*. Got this!

(2) Mango Gemma Belt: was HKD 460.32 now HKD 243.31- very biker chic. Do I need to say more? I absolutely love its black metal color. Futuristic bad ass unique metal belt is always must-have on my list. Got this!

(3) Ringspun T-Shirt Bombshell Pin-Up Girl: was HKD 394.56 now HKD 144.67 -GIVENCHY-ish don't you agree? Let's face it not everyone can afford GIVENCHY Pin-Up T-Shirt and this Ringspun T-Shirt is a can be a very good alternative for that. "A LOOK FOR LESS" without robbing a bank.

(4) ASOS Sweatshirt with Aztec Panel Shoulder: was HKD 328.80 now HKD 157.82 - Aztec print is one of the most powerful print of 2012 and I do believe we can see more it in couple season more.

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!!!
