Kicks Start

I think it's pretty obvious how my sneakers obsession came about. Comfort & Style. I just had to. Can't run in pretty heels right? It's just the perfect choice for "girls on the go" who are after functionality yet wouldn't want to compromise style. It's pretty amazing how you could play with this trend & interpret it into 101 ways. You could always go for dainty romantic ala Taylor Swift, grunge ala Cara Delevigne, high-fashion mala Rihanna.  Db??? Haha. Anyway, aside from comfort & style, budget should also be put into high consideration. Lalo na for budget conscious girls like me! I'm so glad to have discovered SM Kicks, SM's new sneakers line, who conveniently married all 3 components!

Sneakin' In Denim

After my blogging streak last night, got inspired to blog more tonight!!! I just bought a new "work" table (on sale at SM Hypermart haha), placed it at the corner of my room and now I'm feeling more inspired to blog! I realized I feel more burnt out when I try to do online tasks while lying down in bed. Not a good idea. Trust me. Haha. I either end up dozing off or watching a movie nalang hence accomplishing nothing. So, a table is really the best way to goooo. I'm still busy though. This is hell week for me until early next week. I've got meetings, pullouts and shoots. Haven't had a good night sleep for days now. I just recovered from a bad headache. Again. Boooo. 

Anyway, here are pretty recent outfit photos! I have never worn sneaker wedges in my life, but that didn't stop me from trying it out even just for a day. It's comfy as hell pala! SKECHERS sent me a cute pair from their new collection and here's how I styled it!

sakit chan pose haha

Vintage denim jacket, Wrangler denim top, Romwe skirt, Skechers sneaker wedges

This is the best way I could style this pair while keeping true to my personal style--vintage! Lakas maka 90s db? Denim on denim na oversized jacket pa... complete with embroidery and beads. Haha. I think the shoes would also look nice with leggings and then oversized polo or shirt. Nooooh? I'll do that combo next time. 

Anywaaay, I wanna include my food chronicles here but will just do a separate post for that nalang. For now, I'll work on my super overdue Victoria Court birthday post so I could share all the epicness & awesomeness that happened with all of you! Abangan! Hope I don't fall asleep though. Have a long day tomorrow! Doing pullouts and then will head to Rusty Lopez's office in Marikina to pre-style for their campaign shoot! Excited for their new endorser. Hunk!!! Haha. Okie, need to edit pics na. Ciao! Labyuuuu! :)

P.S. Mark your calendars! Now na!:)

See you????

My New Travel Partner: BENSIMON!

I have found the perfect shoes for traveling, for long walks, for just about anything. Since I got my own pair of Bensimon sneakers (a Parisian brand) 2 months ago, I have not stopped using it. It now looks madungis, but the dirt stands as my testament to it's level of comfort. Haha. Bensimon invited a few bloggers and press people at their headquarters to take a sneak peek at their line and try them out too. Everyone went home as believers and lovers of the brand:) Photos!

Mango sweater top, New Look jeans, Ruckus necklace, Unica Hija bangle, Meister watch, Promod heels 

But wearing heels could sometimes be a hassle, so I (all of us actually) decided to break in our new sneaks...

So comfy! Got the mint green and I love that it's shoelace-less and the middle, garterized:) 

Photos from the press event!

 Devoured food and cupcakes from Sonjas!

 Words from Bensimon top management:)

They said they aim to push the brand as the main shoes for traveling. Achieve naman! It's super light, comfortable, machine washed (yuuup!), and the sole is attached to the body, no division. I love it.

Bloggers

Bensimon has perfected the balance between style and comfort. It's like your second skin. It's amazing. Thanks again Bensimon and Ed for inviting us!:)

Sagada Day 1: Banaue + Inkkas

Hello from the ghost town that is Sagada! It's almost 12:30am and people here, apparently, sleep before 10pm. So eto solo ko na ang wifi! Scarcity na naman tomorrow. Lols. Just wanted to post a quick blog entry. Signing out in a few, early call time tomorrow, I mean later! Hiking at 7am. Gaaah. My body still feels like it had been hit by a mini bus from all the stretching and climbing and swimming (went caving/spelunking) we did earlier. Wait for that post! Promise, epic our pics. Haha. Anyway, here's what I wore today plus some photos:)

Thrifted leather jacket, Promod sweater, Bubbles shorts, Inkkas aztec sneakers

new Bubbles shorts, new favorite! Love the fit and the length is just right for me:)

Kawaii Kringles wrap charm bracelets

This gorgeous pair of sneaks from Inkkas came a few hours before we left for Sagada. I don't know why, but I felt that I just had to bring it. Thought it'd be perfect to wear and shoot in Sagada. Db? It actually screams of the place! Hehe. Will make a separate post about Inkkas soon. Love the brand and their advocacy!:) 

So, the YOLO group decided to travel to Sagada this time! Joined a tour group (c/o Tracy)   for just P3,800 per person. Cheap na db?! It includes transpo, accommodation and tours na. Super worth it! After 8 hours on the road, we stopped at Banaue for breakfast:)

After feeling sorry for ourselves thinking that's not the Banaue Rice Terraces we envisioned...
