It’s not enough that this pair of Chuck Taylors have roamed the streets of Manila. They actually traipsed around Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and trekked the temples in the Angkor region in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Now, they’re sashaying around Adelaide and its surrounding places. Keeping my feet warm and cozy in the cold (and sometimes wet!) Australian weather. They’re mighty comfortable, too!
To be honest, I brought it with me for styling reasons but while packing, I remembered just how much walking I did whilst there so I reckon …

Isn’t she sexy?
I’m christening this new pair of point-y black pumps, ZOE. It’s in celebration of new life. Zoe means life. I recently celebrated my birthday and this is one of the stuff I bought for it. I reckon I had mentioned before that I like buying myself new clothes and shoes for my birthday.

As the year 2008 draws to a close, I reckoned that instead of doing a trend round up, I’d rather highlight the ones we can keep an eye on come 2009. This year has been a whirlwind of trend after trend and I’ve noticed that most of the fashionistas were well aware and in tuned with them all. it has been a fun year in fashion, wouldn’t you agree?
Though some may have grown tired of keeping up with them trends, we just can’t help learning of new ones and …

Twas never intentional. Though, it would’ve been expected that I’d name each and every pair ( remember Becky? Marni?

Meet Samantha. And she’s my own little version of the gladiator sandal. Er, you would mistake her to have come from that shoe family, yea?

Via ShoppingGlitz, I found out that I can knock cans down again on the 25th!
Yes, re-live the joys of your childhood as you play the traditional Filipino street games of Tumbang Preso, Piko, Patintero, and a whole lot more. We, Pinoys, grew up in slippers so I happen to think that the fashionable pair of Havaianas slippers fit into the mold. What a fantastic idea for an event!
So mark your calendars and free up this date: Saturday, 25 October 2008. Be at the Bonifacio High Street in front …

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 …
