Triple Black

Lalalalove the rainy season coz I get to layer! 

I got this jacket from Factorie along with a bunch of other stuff that I couldn’t let go of at the check out counter. That store has easily become one of my favourites and they just opened up their BHS branch which is great coz I can just walk to it. It's not so good news for my wallet tho. Hahaha.

I've worn almost all my Beetroot favourites and this ‘Crushing Me’ bralette I am in love with coz you can wear it under any top - see thru, plunging, even a worn out tank - and it’ll make it look sexy!

The only thing I hate this weather is that I have to be more careful with what shoes I wear out. I gravitate towards my predominantly black pairs as well as my beaters, so these Triple Black Huaraches will definitely get some time out in the rain. Wet kicks make me sad, so don't forget to waterproof your shoes (I use Sof Sole Waterproofer!) and wipe them dry!

AF1

Things that come to mind when I think about Air Force 1s:

1. "I said give me two pairs coz I need two pairs, so I can get to stomping in my Air Force Ones" - Nelly
2. Fukijamas. Turtle. Entourage.

I didn't like Air Force 1s at first. My first pair was this white + light khaki, black sole that my Dad got from Hong Kong when I was still in high school. They didn't come in my size so he got them a half size bigger. I didn't enjoy wearing it at all since they fell off my feet, so they ended up becoming beaters for the rainy season. 

I was a bit hesitant getting this pair of lows because of that experience. I was sure of the mids tho coz the strap was something I really liked, but I guess I gave the lows another chance since I'm a sucker for all white + this time around they're in the correct size. They still make my feet look big so I'm never ever wearing them with jeans, but they do make me feel like I can roll with Turtle.

White Out

So sorry for not updating for over a month! I spent the first half of April in NYC + San Antonio, and when I got back home I had to catch up with everything I missed at work. Then there's also the Clips sending my Spurs home in the first round of the playoffs which was truly heartbreaking...

Anyway, I also took the time to move my blog out of Tumblr. So if you look around, the website's got a new look and feel. I love how it's really simple and straight-forward. It'll take a while to get my past posts migrated on here, but so far so good. I'm real excited to get things going again and maybe post more than just the outfits + kicks.

When I left for the US, I had a mission: buy all white. It's been a goal of mine to have a couple of pairs that were completely white. Just clean and simple. The Air Force 1 Low and Mid came out at Titan, but they didn’t come in my size so I had to get both abroad. Needless to say, mission accomplished thanks to Footlocker. I even got my hands on a pair of white/grey adidas Pure Boost for only $54.

Now that I have my white pairs, they make up majority of my summer kicks rotation - Air Max 90s, Air Force 1 Low, Air Force 1 Mid, adidas Pure Boost, adidas Superstar, Air Jordan 11 Retro Legend Blue - so expect to see more lifestyle pairs rather than my usual Js. I'll see how long I can stay on this white phase, but it's definitely gonna be tiring having to Jason Markk them all the time though!

Huarache

Took inspiration from Adrianne Ho’s Huarache Mami post since she also has a pair of Triple Black Huaraches. 

The shape of the shoe is different, so at first glance you’d find something off about them. I found it pretty difficult to pair. It’d go perfect with a pair of jogger pants and a cropped top, but I’m not entirely sure that jogger pants would look good on me so it’ll have to go with outfits that make me look that I’m headed to the gym. It works though since my style does make me look like I’m about to work out. Hahaha. You can also already feel the heat of summer so I’ll be running around in Nike Pros and tanks most of the time. 

Missed the mark with the sizing for this pair. Should’ve listened to the reviews on Footlocker that said to go a half or full size up. I thought it’d be the same as my Huarache Bold Berry, so I got my usual size, but when I tried them on, my toes had no room to move around at all. They’ll feel alright for an hour or two, but I won’t deny that after that, it’ll feel so good to have them off.

Boyfriend Jeans

You guys have no idea how in love I am with this pair. I’ve worn these all white Air Max 90s at least twice a week since I got them. If you look closely, they’re already a bit dirty on the outsole, so they’re due for some Jason Markk real soon. 

I wore this outfit sans the sneakers to Titan Shangri-La’s opening. I planned to wear sneakers with the outfit, but I ordered the pair from Footlocker and they didn’t get to Manila in time. :(

I’ve been seeing a lot of girls rock boyfriend jeans and to be honest, I didn’t think I’d be able to pull them off. I’m not too trendy either, but I saw this at Forever 21 and figured why not try them out? (thanks for the discount Candice!)

This might be my last blog post for the year, so enjoy the holidays with your loved ones! I hope you guys get what you wished for this year! Merry Christmas! :)
