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:

Last Sunday, I party hard at the 30th year Anniversary of Sikap where is my parents are members of. The theme of the party is 80's fashion, at first I want to wear some crazy colors jogging pants and jacket but because alam ko na ganun din ang attire of the majority of the attendees I decided to take a different route on my costume and opted in more edgier and grudge look of the 80's band The Romones.

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 #001: Rhinestone studded portfolio clutch bag

"I love DIY because its such a sustainable and personal approach to fashion. Plus, your project is truly, a one-off that can't be found anywhere else!" - Shini Park on DIY for H&M Magazine Summer 2012

A look for less with a very personal approach <3

Who fashion conscious *fashionista* doesn't want to own a fashion pieces like the PRADA SS2012 Rhinestones studded portfolio clutch bag like I do? But let face it, not everyone *including ME* can afford to pay USD1,950.00 for a clutch bag. So instead of mopping around and feeling sad I decided to get creative and busy. And in situation like this DIY-ing comes "handy" *no pun intended* plus by doing DIY, I'm able to "re-interpret" things like this without breaking or robbing a bank while adding my very own personality on each project.

So here you guys. I hope you LIKE my very first DIY blog post  :-D

You'll need:

On this DIY project, I am using a ZARA Leather portfolio clutch bag.

• Clasp portfolio clutch bag (it could be new, old or vintage)
• Hammer
• Leather Stitching Awl
• Belt hole puncher
• Rhinestones
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Scissor *optional*

Procedures:

Step 1: Remove the lining of the portfolio clutch bag *if any*.

Step 2: Measure and mark the placement of the rhinestones.

Step 3: After marking the placement of the rhinestone start making holes on the portfolio clutch bag.

You can use a "belt hole puncher" to punch a holes around the edge of the portfolio bag.

Then use the "leather stitching awl" to punch holes on places "belt hole puncher" can't reach.

Step 4: Place the rhinestones.

Try to be creative on creating your own unique pattern and color combination <3
After that place the "base cap" on the feet of each rhinestone studs.

Step 5: Hammer each "base cap" to keep the rhinestone in place.

Try not to hammer the rhinestone too hard so it won't break or shatter.

Then... TADA!!! You have your very own creation RHINESTONE STUDDED PORTFOLIO CLUTCH BAG.

I dare you to be creative and make your very own DIY project.

Shoeholic Bastard #2: ZARA Driver with Bow

Do you know the feeling when you at the mall and you are trying things like accessories, clothes or pair shoes and you have that "OMG" moment. Like everything doesn't matter and your mind is screaming "YOU GOTTA HAVE IT!!!" and that is exactly what I felt when I tried on these babies.

I am starting question my being certified "BAGAHOLIC", because of the last five months I bought more shoes than bags. Maybe I am a SHOES addict without me knowing it.

Without any further ado here's the shoes that make me question my "identity" *LOL*the ZARA Driver with Bow! Oh... I don't know where to start maybe to its electric blue suede or its elegant look or its ohhh soooo comfortable padded sole! What not to love about it?! For HKD699.00 a pair its a "no brainer" I gotta have it! :-D

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Shoeholic Bastard #1: ZARA Jute Moccasin with Tassel

Leather tassel in perforated espadrilles for a laid back sophisticated look.  

Almost a month ago, I post a photo on Instagram of four ZARA shoes in my Wish List and one of  those shoes is this ZARA Jute Moccasin with Tassel. It is more of a espadrilles *which I am a BIG FAN* than moccasin for me because of its distinctively jute sole and its very laid back style. But what keep this espadrilles different from other espadrilles you might ask, its added leather tassel and perforated details gives it a classy sophisticated touch which make it a drool worthy for me. :-P

My ZARA Man S/S2012 Shoes Wish List. 

My initial plan is to wait for a SALE to come before committing on buying anything on my wish list but my waiting skill really really sucks so I ended up of taking home this awesome ZARA Jute Moccasin with Tassel and crossing one item off my ZARA shoes Wish List. Yahoo!

One down! three more to go
