The Day before Christmas

Happy Socks was founded by two friends who brought their creative backgrounds together in 2008, with a vision to spread happiness by turning an everyday essential into a colorful design piece with a rigid standard of ultimate quality, craftsmanship and creativity. They have since sold over 15 million pairs through 6000 top fashion apparel boutiques in more than 70 different countries, including Bloomingdales(US), Galleries Lafayette(FR), Selfridges(UK), Opening Ceremony(US&JAP), Colette(FR), Tomorrowland(JAP) and Barneys(US). 
 
They have collaborated with a multitude of brands, designers, musicians and fashion photographers over the years including; David La Chapelle, Terry Richardson, Adidas, Rolex, Opening Ceremony, Manish Arora, Giles Deacon, Mike Snow, etc.
 
The brand recently launched their first stores in the Middle east in Ibn Batuta Mall and Dubai Festival Center.
 
The Day before Christmas, completing my presents for my family and friends for Christmas. Last minute shopping indeed. A sunny day, feeling fresh and yet so dapper at the same time.
 
How you will be casual dapper in a shopping boxing day? A pair of Happy Socks will make your day. Bright and funky socks from Happy Socks , paired with a brown leather wing tip brogues are irrevocably intertwined. A aqua blue dress shirt and beige khaki pants are perfectly matched, pastel on pastel I must say. I kept the shirt buttoned up and keep it loose to feel more comfortable at the same time. For the accessories, you will never go wrong with rose gold timepiece and a tortoise shell sunnies that never gone out of trend, and especially, my outfit will never ever complete my a use of murse or a man bag/ menvelope.

Pasko sa Pinas Noche Buena ( Chirstmas in the Philippines)

After a long 4 years, this will be the very first time I will spent Christmas here in the Philippines with my Lola and little brother Francis and Patrick. I am certified "Lola's Boy" and I'm proud of it.
 
For our Noche Buena, my Lola ( Grand Mother ) cooked Pork Menudo and Caldareta, and I just ordered from KFC, a bucket meal feast with free chocolate cake which I really love. I also made chicken sandwich and Crème De Fruita ( Graham Cake ). We all shared and very thankful for all the blessings that Lord has given to us. Let us be reminded that the true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.
 
Season of love, giving and to glorify the greatness of our Lord. Be thankful of what we have and share the blessings to each other.
 
 
May the season brings you luck and prosperity, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

A Saturday morning at the Philippines's World Trade Center, fashion and style bloggers all around manila gathered together for the 6th installment of Bloggers United. Fashion Enthusiasts, spectators and shoppers went to this spectacular event to meet and greet their favorite local bloggers. I myself didn't missed the chance to finally meet my fellow bloggers and take picture with them.
 
My outfit, I start with a dress shirt with micro- mini polka dots, paired with this awesome navy chinos that matches my new dope timepiece from GUESS watches. For the shoes, I throw on this multi- colored brogue shoes that irrevocably intertwined with my outfit. On top of that, this double- breasted pocket jacket is just perfect for the occasion, I tend to put a navy hanky that serves as a pocket square and at the same time to wipe out the sweat that the bazaar heat has to offer. To complete my outfit this brown leather murse, that carries all my stuffs.
 
What do you think of this look guys? Keeping it simple, yet so dapper
