Consortium - SneakerPimps to SneakerHeads to WTFSneakers (!?)

Were you ever into sneakers?

Yep, they're easy to go around in. I've skated in them when I was younger, wore "cool" pairs to be - how do I say this - uhh... "cool" in the early days of my life. Nowadays, though, the only relationship I have with Nike is for when I'm out to go running or hit the gym or kick some balls. But I know of people, guys especially, who get so passionate about the force-something-chorva-chorva collection (I can't even remember any title that Nike or Puma or Adidas would call their shoes), they spend a designer bag's worth of money for a pair! Ha, ha! Unbelievable! ;)

Anyhoo, I was going over what sneaks were on sale from luisaviaroma and found designs I think I like (but would wear not).

Dior Homme

Raf Simons

Givenchy

Kris Van Assche

Ann Demeulemeester

These are men sneaks, though. I prefer them ankle-high which probably dates back to when I was a kid and being elated from getting bought a pair of high-cut Reeboks and L.A. Gear rubber shoes that the older "cool" kids stomped everywhere in.

BONUS INFO: The "official" sneaker magazine in the Philippines, MSCLAVEL, launches @ Happy Mondays in Embassy Cuisine this December 8. (Gosh, Endo, this better be good. And, I ain't getting mainstream by wearing sneaks. He, he.)

P.S. Invite in the above went thru the monochromator's color filter, as usual.

Did I Ever Mention Jackets Before This?

Had to purchase a pair of Kris Van Assche sneakers and Dior Homme pants from luisaviaroma dot com for a guy pal. Went over some of their women's thingies and couldn't take my eyes off of this YSL swing jacket. I'm loving the design and the material. So perfect for cold days that come so rare in the country I live in. Hmpf.


You, folks, with the Fall/Winter weather are lucky. Or is it a matter of perspective and wanting that which one has none? ;)






BONUS PIC: A page (courtesy of my phone camera) from i-D mag's December ish '08. It's a fabulous creation by Margiela, reminds me of the dangling sleeves and big shoulders of Carine Roitfeld's "wrapped-around" jackets.





P.S. - Where's my gun heeled pair? Where? Not in the Singapore store yet. Too long and patience is not one of my number 1 virtues. But there are times when one must come to terms with the long wait so I'm w-a-i-t-i-n-g..................... good girl, me.

Heartbreak Kid

Today’s a national holiday here in the Philippines. =D

Long weekend, no work on a Monday, it’s such a luxury. I feel like a cool chick, smug from the extra available time to lounge around in bed and go over some eye candy from the internet after flipping thru some magazines.

Found this pic of a strikingly beautiful boy. Got to post it for y'all, ‘cos he’s so stunning.




The only problem is - I forgot to note where I found it. Have you come across this photo before? Help ghost blogger me identify the image source, yeah?

The Tee Posse

Post-save-to-draft Note: I had meant to post this a few minutes before the world stopped. Today, December 6, I don't have more to say but that which I originally meant to share. So here's to publish one that's been saved in my draft for 5days now.


Since we were on the topic of my t-shirt weather country, we might as well get on with some folks from here who wore theirs really nicely. I don't give a fock what brand your shirt is or if your pants are from a dope brand or something. I'm not gonna get stoked on the shoes you have on, just 'cos they costed you a fortune. It's never about what you're wearing. It's always simply just about how you wear it.

(I love you, IVAN.)

BONUS PIC: Sharon Atillo, so astig. I like when gals can go rock 'n roll as effortlessly and as real as she can.

Jackets are the New Shawl ;p

There are days when I can control the urge to not make this blog an all-about-Carine blog. But she's so hot, sometimes I just can't help but give in.





Tell me, how come she makes wearing her jackets like they're shawls seem so right? Like somehow, it's really how jackets are supposed to be worn. Yes, with the sleeves dangling limp like that and all. ;)


BONUS PIC (nope, not an ad for stockings/hosiery): Carine Roitfeld's Perfectly-Toned, Perfectly-Shaped and Perfectly-Proportioned Gams




Other Additional Value: Her Gorgeous Smile with that Gorgeous Hair and so-Mod Brows. (Do I sound like a Biology class dork who's dissecting the parts of what should have just been called a really really really gorgeous and feisty Parisian with really really really superior style and taste and who also happens to be the editor-in-chief of the best fashion mag in the world who is also the mum of 2 really really lovely 20-something kids. And she's got a hubbie whom she's never had to divorce -- wow.

Alright, saying too much like usual. I just wanted to point out that I'm all for the bitches of this world. It makes me happy when women are so adept at being strong and beautiful. Who's afraid to be 50+ if 50 can look as great as her? Thank you, Carine.)




P.S. - I read that she does Pilates everyday to keep in shape. She actually starts her day with a session before she hits work in the morning. Her beauty secret? She said it's frequent facial massages.

"T-Shirt Weather Here"

Have just gone home from a party and thought I'd just be browsing online until I saw these S/S '09 RTW from Canadian brand ComplexGeometries. Contrary to its name, the clothes look so clean and uncomplicated. I dig. It's like you can sleep in them and not have to change your outfit before you head out to party and not have to change again before you hit the sack after you went out to party. He he he.
