Fashion: H-I-G-H

So far this is the best fashion shoot I gad so far! H-I-G-H as what my shirt shows definitely defines my kind of fashion!

Oh well that skater boy look will always be the best style for me. I just love this dope-boy next-door-look that really shows my inner fashion taste. My HIGH statement shirt was from Market Market thrift store in Manila. I got this super comfy jeggings from Folded & Hung and my FIGHT cap from Penshoppe. this look wouldn't be perfect without this New Balance Sneakers and plaid shirt wrapped around my waist to break the monotony of my blue-color-outfit.  

Travel: ICE BAR BGC

I finally made it to Imperial Ice Bar located at Bonofacio Global City in Manila. There's no other place cooler than this, taking a shot of vodka in that freezing temperature. Of course as Pinoy who used to live in 2 seasons (dry/wet) we're all getting crazy of trying out that winter climate so here's the best bar to try out. 

Imperial Ice Bar is entrance fee and drink or cocktails are quite affordable too. It has quite spacious dance floor plus good music equals fun night. We had a blast here with my college friends fee months ago and it turned out to be an epic night- party til 6AM. Here's some of photos I wanna share with you all. 

Fashion: COMME des GARCONS

This iconic heart fashion logo was my wishlist ever since I started my personal account in LookBook.  Knowing it's a Japanese clothing brand, I knew the price I need to pay for it when I visited CDG outlet located in Hilton Singapore. Like what they day, if you really like it then you'll have to excuse at all. Got these shirt with little help of friends from Dubai. 

I have 2 shirts now (it's quite addictive though LOL!) both it white colors but different logo color (black & red) Of course need to give some justice to it so I decided to have it paired with this ever comfy jeggings from Folded & Hung. I also got my New Balance sneakers to highlight the red accent of this look together with my red Lexon watch & lastly my red snapback completed this look.

What's your current brand or look addiction? Hope you'll find fashion pieces that are worth of your money too. Go for basic items that can be paired easily or go for strong style items to add some spice into your everyday look. Stay awesome my dear blog followers. 

Travel: URBN

URBN Bar located at Bonifacio Global City in Manila Philippines is the newest spot of party people around the metro. Many people don't even know they have the best spot for dinner too, the URBN BAR & KITCHEN. Many food reviews already blogged URBN and shared may good feedbacks and must try menu items like their home made potato chips, souffle, steak and their cheesecake. 

URBN BAR offers a very spacious & industrial look interior best for hosting corporate events and making it the best party spot with friends. We came here around 2AM and the crowd was insane. With good music, party drinks and lively crowd you wouldn't ask for anything but just to dance & party all night! Smoking is also allowed inside (not goo for non-smokers) and have sufficient staff to assist you and cocktails / drinks prices were quite reasonable too. 

Food: Southwest Tavern

Southwest Tavern is a cowboy themed inspired by American diner that specialises in some awesome Spam Chips & wester favourite sausages & fries. It is known for their popular Beer Butt Chicken - a roast chicken stuffed with a beer of cans and other seasonings making the chicken infused with so much flavours yet still juicy.

You can choose from a range of 28 beers from around the world as well as various cocktails and wines. 

This place was totally a surprise spot for me when one day I was suddenly ambushed by friends ending up tasting some best wine here at Southwest Tavern. Just look at their onion rings layered perfectly on a plate with mayo at the centre, just done perfectly crispy. They also have the SPAM chips - my all favourite canned goods fried until almost like a potato chips but still flavourfully done. Of course we had some sausages too that comes in variants, truly such a great pair for beers or any cocktails. To end up the night, we had a bottle of Moscato D'Asti given by a generous friend that totally completed our appetite that day.

Fashion: Bluer than Blue

Let's talk about Monday Blues. Whoever coined the word "Bluer than blue" might have defined blue into some deep emotional symbol. But in fashion, you would agree that shades of blue will always be  in your colour choice of style. Having said that, anyone would easily be captured by this Hollister shirt in 3-toned colors of blue. Paired with denim shorts from Cotton On, this look will rock your day in style. 

I'm wearing snapback from Nike in sky blue color and gray Nike sneakers to totally complete the sporty look of this outfit. To add accent for this look, I wore Lexon watch and blue/ pink arm candy from @trendcrearion via their Instagram account. So the next time you visualize outfit you wanna wear, you dont basically need to go shopping for new fashion pieces, by simply incorporating basic pieces by matching them in color coordination, you will always come up with a good OOTD shot of the day.

LOOKBOOK 2014

I have been looking in my iPhoto files for a fashion blog post but I suddenly browsed through my Lookbook folder and decided why not post my fashion looks this year. Just noticed that recently my style preference got a common denominator- black, white & basic! Yes, goodbye for prints, floral and pastel colors for now. Lately I've been hooked up with experimenting basic fashion pieces and making black & white with a twist.

As they always say, in fashion there is no rule! As long as it comes out of your creative mind, who cares as long as you have the confidence to walk along the crowd wearing what you thinks suits you best. With these few Lookbook fashion post, hope you'll get some inspiration on how to dress up simply but still with a great sense of style!
