Zoo York brings the urban street fashion and skateboard-inspired lifestyle of New York to the streets of Manila.

Just learned that Converse had launched their latest collection of big and bold designs for Fall 2008. I had asked when the collection was launched but failed to get an answer. I did a bit of research though and found out that the Fall preview happened last June.

This season Converse pays homage to The Grateful Dead and Kurt Cobain, top caliber musicians and prolific songwriters who have undeniably influenced pop culture with their unconventional taste for style and revolutionary music.
Owning a pair of Converse had been a dream realised. If …

Another photo after the fold.

I reckon it’s never complete if you don’t get snapped a photo or two as you pose on the runway. Bloggers have graced the event and I grabbed the opportunity to capture their personal style in good lighting conditions.

It screams “Menswear” but I just had to laugh when I came across this shirt cuz it’s so applicable to me in so many ways. LMAO.
Interestingly enough, I would never have expected that I’ll be extending a fabulous hat tip to The Technographist for this tshirt find and a nifty shopping advice to boot.
Pictured is our favorite design, a clever play on RSS feeds (you can subscribe to Technograph’s RSS feed here by the way). These t-shirts are great gifts for geeks, bloggers, web developers, and those involved in …

It’s not really an official ADMU T Shirt (as far as I know) but it is from CELIO. One of the times when I finally heard teh boyfriend say he wanted to buy a shirt. I was, like, “OMIGOD. YOU WANT TO GO SHOPPING?!” He’s definitely not a fan of shopping, that’s one thing I can say. We were at Power Plant for the Summer Sale plus last minute shopping for a pending beach trip (I was looking for an overnight bag). We stopped at CELIO and started browsing. I …

Let’s just say he’s a bit shy but, everyone, his name’s Jayvee Fernandez and he’s one of the Nokia Ambassadors introduced during the NOKIA Soul of the Night event last Tuesday. On the sly, I took a photo of the backside of his jacket since the detail is mainly what makes this piece unique. Phoebe mentioned that he got it from [insert name of shop here] (sorry, I forget!) in Trinoma and costs around Php 2,500.00. The shop sells one piece per design which is great cuz isn’t that what …

When I mentioned, “what I didn’t really like is that the shape of the flip-flops isn’t friendly for them who have wide feet”, on my last post, I wasn’t aware of the Havaianas WAVE line. These babies are meant for them guys with wide feet. Definitely.
I like how these flip-flops (but they look more like rubber sandals now) look. They’re very casual and look very sturdy. I like the light grey and navy blue colour combination. Makes it look clean and beach-ready. I love the straps.

You may be wondering why …

I bought these pairs the other day over at all flip-flops in Bonifacio High Street. Naturally, they’re gifts for my younger brother, who celebrated his birthday and for teh boyfriend.
From what I observed, Havaianas have developed a good system for sizes, covering two sizes in a pair. To further illustrate, sizing is in 10-11 or 7-8 and such. This makes it easier for someone like me who’s buying it as a gift. It leaves room for error esp since I’m not certain whether if it will fit the recipient. …
