Because New Balance has been my addiction for quite some time now. Check this cool video out where they show the 996 and put some new twists into it.

New Acquisitions: Shoes and a Shirt

I got the Step Right shoes and Mundo's Karl Lagerfeld shirt!

Check out the old and new espads I bought (actually, mum bought it for me). I've worn the red one a lot so I thought it'd be nice to get a new one :)) Besides, mura lang naman siya.

30th

NAVA round sunglasses, Topshop denim shirt, Sleeveless sailor shirt, Green Cambridge Satchel (which has a lot of battle scars already :(( ), Casio watch, and the newly bought Step Right Mary Jane/Espadrille hybrid (GENIUS).


I think I wore this on the 30th but I'm not really sure. I forgot the date. Obviously, I'm not really good at remembering things like names, dates, and birthdays. It's such a dilemma really. Anyhoo, I wore this when we watched "Praybeyt Benjamin". I found the movie corny but it had it's funny moments.

Step Right/Rite (I really can't remember how they spell the brand name) is a local shoe store in Laguna. We're related to the owner named Tita Teresita so we always visit them every time we go there. She's kind of really old na but she hasn't retired yet which is pretty cool. You should drop by a visit when you go to Pagsanjan, Laguna. They have loads of shoes and slippers at affordable prices.

Totally finding lots of cool/inspiring videos in Vimeo. Really loving it.

Cool video about the process of making leather shoes. Definitely taking down notes.

The sneaker artist shows us a glimpse of his surroundings. Very inspiring. He makes me want to go back to Singapore. I know that I've missed a lot of cool stuff in Singapore, I just have to go back!

New Kicks

These shoes were given to me by my ninang. She's awesome, she gives me lotsa things and she's really cool to my mum, they're like bffs:)) Anyhoo, these shoes are fucking insaanee. Fucking light on the feet!

Thrifted denim Levi's jacket, Summersault shirt, Nike hi-tops.

I've been wearing it for a week now and it's pretty cool, it's like my new fave shoes. :D

Topshop shirt and Nike shoes.

Happy Thursday!

Yesterday was a blast because I got to sit in another FOTOGRA class! I learned a lot from this guy even though it's just the basic stuff, I really had fun. He's very cool and funny and he let us use all of his lenses and filters. I'm hoping I could sit in again coz I feel like having one class in FOTOGRA is NOT enough.

NOTE: Last Wednesday was Chinese New Year (Kung Hei Fat Choi, bitches) and he brought candies in his class and everyone gets to have one...and also coz he wants his students to be hyper and cool so sugar was needed daw. =))

So like 1 hour and 30 mins was left in his class, he shooed us away to take shots all over the place and let us use his stuff! I wanted to try the prime but he wanted to put his students first(which was understandable and ang kapalz ng face ko that time kasi I raised my hand and I ain't one of his students pa naman =)) ) so I sunk back to my chair and waited for him to disperse the whole class. :)) Then he said we could use the filters as well AND I ASKED IF I COULD AND HE WAS COOL ENOUGH TO TEACH ME HOW TO USE IT AND DEMO IT TO ME PA! HE'S REALLLYY NICE. AND HE'S A CANON USER AND CONSTANTLY BASHES NIKON FROM TIME TO TIME IN CLASS! =)))

These are my photos with the filter.


With filter as well, my friend Pau was fixing his camera. He's so cute by the wayy, he looks sooo young pa and he doesn't even look like a college student din.

AND THESE SHOOEEESSS...I DIE! DOC MARTENS FROM THE STATES GIVEN TO HER BY HER DAD!!!!! My friend Pat is very cool. She's a vocalist before AND SHE SINGS REALLYYYY WELL...and has a very cool taste in music *WINK HOLE(band) WINK* :))



I told her I would diee for some creepers and she said she has some stuff but doesn't wear 'em because her dad keeps buying the wrong size! SO I COMPLETELY GASPED AND PANICKED MY ASS OFF AND ASKED HER IF I COULD JUST BUY IT FROM HER AND SHE SAID SHE AIN'T SELLIN THEM (UMIKOT ANG MUNDO KO BTW. =)))) ) COZ HER DAD COLLECTS THEM (Ugh, sayang, but I understandzz) SO I WAS LIKE "Kung ayaw mo na, just call me up ha" *phone in hand gesturewhatever* :))) I repeated that statement twice/thrice for emphasis/desparation. =)))))


This is Diane's shoes, I looovee leopard prints latelyyy! Ever since Garance Dore blogged about her leopard loafers I've been wanting to have one in ages which was like, last year =))



Everyone, THIS IS PAT! She's camera shyy :)


AND THIS IS DIANE! She's realllyy nice too and she's pretty damn smart as well :> Can I also share that I love her style? ------> Note the woven belt?

Let's just say... a self portrait.

PS!!! BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND PAMELA CARUNUNGAN!

Accessories.

I got this from Forever 21 and when I saw it, I knew I had to have it. It instantly reminded me of Kate Lanphear (A POST MUST BE MADE FOR HER!), she's truly one of MY fashion icons. As in, IDOL KO SIYA HENCE THE HAIR! (A POST MUST BE MADE FOR THAT TOO!)

This one is just soooo adorable I had to have it too. Now, I'm not a pink person here but I bought it. YES. I caved in and bought it. The shoe's brand is Ichigo, bought it from Crossings and as far as I know they have a multiply site right...HERE.

This kickass necklace is from Forever 21 as well, bought it with the badass bracelet shown above. They're feathers and even though they're feathers, they can be deadly. My friend poked me with one of those feathers and it hurt! HAHA. I wore all of these when I went to my friend's debut. OUTFIT PHOTO COMIN' UP!

Dream Shoes.

I got them in Greenhills and they're just over-runs. Still, it's quite comfy when I wear it to school. A little bit warm on my toes but I can manage. It is my dream shoes after all. =)) After seeing Agyness Deyn don some of these around the streets of New York, I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT!!! :))

I took the color black just to be safe. Momma didn't want to buy it for me so I bought it myself! :D I've never been happier.

Tuesday came and I am happy.

I wore this when I went to a birthday party.

Blazer is Louis Feraud (thrift), Jeans and shoes from Topshop, shirt from Greenhills.

Necklace is from Greenhills as well.
