See You Later!

I will be shutting this project of mine down. Seems like blogging really isn't my thing (well it is, but I have to secure a couple of things first). See you later!

Things That Inspire Me (Things I Want) 2

New Year's Resolutions

There is nothing as rewarding as accomplishing a goal knowing that you put all your heart into doing so. I found two very inspiring articles online that I read a couple of times containing a list of do's and dont's in life. I have decided to turn this these lists into my New Year's resolutions. Although the dont's may seem like mirrors of the do's and vice-versa, they are different but similar in a way. I hope this post inspires all of you as much as it has inspired me. Check out the list below...

The Importance Of Finding Your Own Style Part 1

Looking your best is the best thing you can do for yourself. I cannot stress how important it is to be able to present yourself in-front of people. As easy as it may sound to most of you, it isn't. Fashion is an art and art is, well... complicated (in it's own beautiful way).

One of the first steps into looking your best is knowing what to wear given the occasion. You have to be able to dress the part to be the part. And that requires you to have a wardrobe that is ready to take on the world (and no... that doesn't make you a superhero). You want to be able to make that first impression. That first impression is what lands you that promotion, that job you've always wanted and even that girl you've been stalking for weeks now. Remember, clothing is one of the best ways to express who you are. It is colorful and loud. That's why people have to take advantage of that. 

Looking good doesn't require you to wear and the most expensive clothing in the world (what you choose to wear and where you buy your clothing is all up to you). It just means that you have to know how to work with what you have. Go give a damn and educate yourself.

Another step is knowing your brand (Why You Should Care About Brand Names credits go to Edward Honaker for stressing this). Yes, your brand. If you're familiar with brands you will easily be able to pick out clothes that fit you in general. For example, I know that the v-necks at Folded & Hung have shorter sleves compared to those at Oxygen (yay for longer sleeves). And the 36 slim fit pants at Topman are actually 34's for me at Levi's. Those are the little things that matter when it comes to clothing.

Part 2 coming soon...

NOTE: These were merely demands not suggestions.

Peace in the Middle East!

Things That Inspire Me (Things I Want)

Happy Holidays

Here's A Pretty Christmas Tree

Hey guys, Christmas is around the corner and I just wanted to wish you all a good one! Just don't forget the true essence of this celebration. It isn't about the gifts or how much you've spent buying them (lol). It's about giving back and being thankful to all those people around you who have been there for you all your life (or for some small part of it). Give back, go out there and do something extraordinary, stand out, and be yourself.

Let me know how your celebration goes, Happy holidays!

Peace!

Capture The Moment

Who Knows, Who Cares Photoshoot
Alexandra Peña

Hey guys! The photoshoot went really well. I cannot stress how grateful I am to have had a chance to take part of something like this.

I met a lot of great people as well. People that I would love to get to know more and eventually call my friends.

It was a bit awkward for me at first (with this being my first time and all), but everything turned out alright. And in the end walking home in the rain was totally worth it. Nothing beat's a chilly night.

The only disappointing part about my day was when I realized that I forgot my shoe bag at home with the rest of my bottom pieces. So before the shoot, I headed to the mall to pick up a really cool feather necklace from Oxygen,a pair of shorts from the Forever 21 and a sweater from A&F  to make up for it. Although my pictures consist of me wearing the same shoes and mostly the same bottoms, I was able to make use of what I had (pictures out soon). I will be posting more details regarding this once they become available.

This was definitely a moment worth capturing. Thank you guys!

Peace!

Who Knows, Who Cares

Cross Connector Ring
Oxygen Accessories

Hey guys, I have great news for all of you! I will be going to my first photo-shoot this Saturday (entitled "Who knows, Who cares)! So I'm really excited about that. The photographer for the event will be Alexandra Peña.

So now... I really have to plan which outfits to wear during the shoot, but I don't think that it will be much of a problem. I will be drawing more of my inspiration from Adam Gallagher and Edward Honaker, without them I would not have started all of this. So yeah, I'm hoping all goes well! I can't wait to show all of you the pictures once they're out.

Oh and look at what I got from Oxygen today. They have  lot of really good accessories (I had a hard time choosing). But was really happy with this one. I might eventually get the rest next week. Please follow and share my blog. You can also like my fan page here. Thank you!

Peace!

Been Gone Too Long

Hey guys, it's been awhile! I have been so busy getting prepared for my final exams, so I apologize for not being around much. I have a lot of things in-store for you guys (like my list of New Year's resolutions) so stay tuned!

Oh and on a side note, I might actually buy myself a decent camera already so I can actually start fulfilling my blog's purpose lol. See you soon!

Peace!

Good Times

Hey guys, sorry for not being able to post any sooner. A lot of things have been going on lately so I haven't really had the change to put anything down.

I spent quite a lot of time looking for a suitable bottom piece to match my attire this weekend. And after hours of endless strolling at the mall, I finally found the right piece. Story of my life...

Anyways, moving onto the holidays....

I'm really looking forward to Christmas, I have a lot of things planned. Did I mention shopping?

You know you want these tickets!

Bloggers United: An Interactive Shopping Affair is this Saturday and I am giving away 5 tickets! All you have to do is share my blog and like my Facebook page!

 Peace!

Ideas, ideas, ideas

Street Style
http://www.meninthistown.com/

Iv'e been thinking a lot about emptying my closet and buying new clothes. I'm tired of wearing the same old clothes again and again (on most occasions). Since I get a fair amount of allowance every week, I will be putting most of that aside to purchase new clothing. I'm moving up a step onto that plain, simple and complicated look. So if I ever get my camera back (hopefully soon), I will be posting pictures on here and on lookbook.

With Blogger's United fast approaching, I need to find myself a new outfit I can work with. I have a lot of ideas in mind that I definitely have to put to work.

With all that aside, I want to talk to you guys about this personality development seminar I attended yesterday. The seminar's lectures talked about how one should present himself in the corporate world. It was all very inspiring and motivating. It gave me a lot of new ideas on new looks and concepts that I can hopefully share with you very soon.

I have also been wanting to  focus on taking pictures of everyday people. It is so inspiring seeing other people be themselves on the street. This will be one of my few upcoming projects too, so I'm really excited about that.

And...

I apologize for my blog being so empty, I do realize that there is not much to look at now. But I promise you guys, there will be a lot of things written and featured on here. I'm even planning on holding competitions that all of you can join! To the few readers I have, thank you for sticking around. Don't forget to share and follow this blog if you like it.

  Peace!

An Introduction

Lazy Mornings
Treston International College

Hey guys! A lot of you might not know me personally, so let me introduce myself. My name is Luis Pelaez, I'm a freshman from Treston International College. I was born and raised in the Philippines and I currently reside in Metro Manila. I have no experience in the fashion industry whatsoever, so all of this is pretty new to me. But that doesn't make me completely clueless.

Despite the lack of experience, I do however have that feel for it. I'm that type of person who does not limit himself to the clothes he chooses to wear. I don't believe in boundaries, only going past them. Looking good has its benefits, people should take advantage of that. Especially in today's "demanding" society. But remember, you do not need expensive clothing or cosmetic surgery (i just had to throw that in there) to look good or gain recognition of any form, you just need to be able to walk it right  and do it right.

A lot of things inspired me to move on with this project of mine. I drew a lot of my inspiration from the 90's, photography, people, and life in general. Art complements art.

Let me share one of my favorite sayings with you, "The world is my canvas and thoughts are my paintings", that right there is enough to get me off my ass and do something creative. So get out there and express yourself! I'm looking forward to giving you guys a piece of my world. And I hope you end up appreciating the little things as much as I do.

Peace!

Here's To A New Beginning

Edward Honaker
http://skinnysuits.blogspot.com

Hey guys! I am, of most people, glad, that I was finally able to get this blog up and running. I can finally share my views and ideas with all of you regarding men's fashion (yes, fashion). This may come as a surprise to most of you, but I am not going to hold back my deeper sense of appreciation for this art, it needs to be out there! I feel really good about this one. This is definitely going to be an adventurous year for me!

This blog will serve as a public library to all those who are interested in getting to know me, and how I see the world. This is what makes me who I am and who I am to become at every given moment. Being yourself is the most important thing in life, f*ck what other people think.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and inspired me, mainly Adam Gallagher and Edward Honaker, I greatly appreciate it! Don't forget to follow and share my blog!

Peace!
