Months before I already told you guys that come pay day I would be buying my very first pair of skinny jeans and after that there would be a sequence of buying another pair and another and another.Well, apparently as I was in a mall that day I chanced upon a very nice pair of skinny jeans,very slick,very cool,very nice color and so I tried it out thinking that I was slim enough to try it out and then happily whistle away as I purchase this cool pair of jeans…NOT!Unforutnately it dawned on my head after trying it out that it doesn’t have a good fit and that it just doesn’t feel comfortable to wear.Darn It!I was really cursing myself that time because all the while that I was drooling over a pair and now here’s the perfect chance to buy one then this problem occurs.Maybe,just maybe,I still need a little more slimming to do and other that skinny jeans aren’t really for me…Oh well,I’m gonna try topman’s twisted skinny jeans one of these days.Anyway,what I bought after my jean hunting and searching is a pair of slim cut jeans,they’re not skinny but still cool and good enough to wear…that will do pig,that will do…

Last weekend as my usual routine of mall going/window shopping/apparel drooling/resto eating/walking and reflecting in life goes to action I suddenly stopped in front of a renovated store that looks familiar even though I barely pass through that area then it suddenly occurred that this store I’m seeing that’s being renovated was a former Paul Smith Store!Can you believe it!I surely can’t!I’m exaggerating because I haven’t been in the store and I haven’t bought anything even a pair of shoes and now it’s being renovated for a calorie-laden,carb-laden,heart-stopping,artery-clogging,stroke-inducing donut store.Alas,I am merely a citizen of meager wage earner and for now,I have no executive power to stop the operation and just go on with our lives without a Paul Smith store here in the PI…oh well,at least there still is burberry (not the prorsum),Prada,Louis Vuitton,Gucci,Balenciaga,Escada,Marc Jacobs,Michael Kors,Salvatore Ferragamo among others that are still here to tempt people into buying their luxurious apparel and accessories.

Most people I know love Nike,heck they’re addicted to them especially with the baller types of shoes.Some people I know love Adidas and their thick soled shoes that are durable and yet stylish.But I’m the only person I know that loves,obssesses,patronizes,worships,hails and prays PUMA!I can’ even tell you how much I love them.Here in the Philippines we don’t have any special edition puma’s like Alexander McQ’s or Mihara’s so I just look them up in the net and drool over them (sigh).Anyway,that doesn’t mean I don’t like the Puma shoes here,on the contrary,I have a lot of Puma shoe crushes,I don’t really know but I feel that the feline and me really have a strong connection,a connection that the Philippine peso and me don’t have much (sigh again).Anyway,I am not here to rant but to adore the brand that is Puma! All in all,I can say that I have like 5 Puma shoe crushes as of now and I hope it will reduce because it is painstaking for my eye just to look at them although I hope that the Puma stores here would import special edition shoes.There are a lot.Aside from that I have noticed that they are also joining the bandwagon for the hi-cut type of shoes like Converse.This is not a bad thing because I LIKE the Converse Hi-cut shoes (see my comparison?) and they go great with skinny jeans and plaid or even plain casual shorts.There is only one problem,here in the PI,it only comes in a purple color and a white one.Man!Two colors to choose from?Define out of option and No for an answer.I’m still waiting for the new collection to arrive here so right now tell me not to drool…as in NOW!

OK, I have been neglecting this blog for some time and I really feel bad not being able to blog first because I love to blog and i feel that it’s one of my passions that keeps me sane and second is because our internet connection was disconnected due to unpaid bills.Wahahaha! Anyway,what caught my eye recently was the assortment of darn good-looking man bags and FYI I’m not talking about laptop bags,messenger bags nor backpacks…as I was saying,these man bags are the next big thing after dogs being man’s bestfriend and since dogs can’t be brought in offices and other private establishments then man bags would be their better  and cleaner replacement.Stylish is all I can say when it comes to those handheld bags and more so if they come in black or brown,it just exudes confidence and coolness that girls might even scream at the bag and not the person holding it.If you’re looking for those bags then I suggest you go down to your nearest Memo store or Oxygen(local stores).Remember,not only girls can carry handbags,come on,stop thriving from the past and get on with the now and the future…we are equal hence,same opportunities to showcase accessories that tell us who we are…

From straight cut to flair to elephant pants to skinny jeans,the world seems to adore the ideal culture so much that the fashion industry adapted the ’slim is in’ look. Tight-fitting apparels are so in nowadays and not just jeans but also shirts,shorts, and vests.Every fashionista you know is well aware of it and might have a closet which consists of a fitted shirt/s,tight jeans,tight undies/knickers, and fitted shorts. Forutnately I have all of those except for the skinny jeans but not for long my friends!!!Wahahaha! You see, I will be working and work comes with experience and experience comes with pay and pay means I can purchase a pair of skinny jeans! I am so brilliant! Anyways,before we go out of the topic again because of my oh-so over-excited hypothalamus,I just want to add more do’s when it comes to wearing skinny jeans.here goes:

Next post:the dont’s in wearing skinny jeans…

I remembered a couple of years ago when a famous actress sported a pair of jeans so tight that it was a no-brainer that it was immediately called Skinny jeans. Now I know I should have blogged about these pair of fad jeans weeks ago but I’m still jealous and bitter from all the people who can wear and flaunt it because I still don’t have a single pair even though most of the population here in the PI  have been wearing and advertising it for more than a year already!Grrr…but what the heck,I’m still blogging about ‘Le Skinny Jeans’. Now, I have observed that men are already following pace from women when it comes to the fashion competition and it is getting fiercer and tougher. The competition between the masculine and feminine specie is definitely worth waiting and watching for. Well, since I’m of the masculine/male specie/kind/kingdom/phylum then I will be bias and mention that we or they (because I don’t have any skinny jeans yet,huhu) are definitely winning. I may not have a pair but I will list down the do’s of wearing the skinny jeans for those who are still wondering what to do with them:

I have nearly completely forgotten to post here and NO I have not been busy these past few days but I just can’t figure out what to post!hehe…my brain is hibernating as of this moment and I’m still thinking who or what to type here that may interest you and me and the whole fashion industry.The only thing I know is that New York Fashion Week is over and Philippine Fashion Week is coming up!Man,I gotta have a life fast!

People of the fashion world I must warn you that what you’re about to see is one of the most horrific and terrible fashion style and trend(for me at least) you have ever seen. You know the other day where I posted an article about colors?apparently this guy who I saw the other day while getting a requirement for my work read my blog and took it so seriously that he decided to wear a multi-colored extra large shirt coupled with a black hip pants and some office shoes…I tell you he is the worst-dressed person I have seen this entire month of September,heck,I could even say for the entire 2008 but let’s not get too hasty about it.hehe…here’s a picture of him (I took it in stealth mode so I just captured his back part).You be the judge.My eyes got so watery after seeing him…huhuhu…

I know they’re so ancient in the fashion world but hey cut us some slack because we live in a third world country so fashion here is a bit late but still very acceptable.I love plaids!Especially plaid shorts!I have 3 pairs of plaid shorts and I wear them so much they’re kinda giving up on me already but hey,I’ll just buy another pair sometime this year!It’s great they’ve invented the design because I really think it’s hip and cool not in a rapper/hip-hop point of view but from a yuppie living in a third world country.Plus I have plaid shorts not pants because I know it wouldn’t fit me and it’s not my type AND it wouldn’t be right to wear it here because ours is a tropical country (Re:sun,sand,humidity,UV rays,skin cancer,etc.) so I guess it’s OK to just wear shorts here.Ok,Ok I used to think plaids are so outdated maybe because I see normal people wearing them as an everyday home/comfy wear but give a person the right shirt and a pair of sandals and slippers then it would definitely be casual and comfy wear.I like wearing them with a nice sneakers and a simple shirt because I think the plaids are enough for the design so I don’t think it would be good to wear something like an over-designed shirt and a plaid shorts,I have yet to see a person do this.I would dare to but someone must pay me big time!wahahaha!!!

This my friends is what i’m telling you about.The color just emphasized everything from the body shape to the body gesture.I must admit,this friend of mine is already very very slim(grr…I’m so jealous but just a little) and he what he wore really emphasized his body contour plus a dash of posing ingenuity POOF! fierce picture.The shirt is a medium sized black long sleeved shirt with white details on the sleeves and under the shirt,pants are a straight cut washed out/faded black and shoes are dominant white with a detail of green to add pizzazz.Now we all know that black is slimming but hey,black is still black.I always admire people who aren’t afraid to experiment a little to show not just their fashiondea(fashion+idea…duh).
