WHAT'S IN STORE: American Eagle Outfitters

Launching bright last March, American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) adds color to our local fashion scene with its first  flagship store opening.

Offering affordable and on-trend clothing, American Eagle Outfitters is one of the leading global fashion retailers in the world. It operates more than 1000 stores in North America and 48 international franchise stores in 14 countries.

It's spring 2013 collection calls for an assortment of light & bright with pops of neon, airy fabrics, and new prints. As always, denim remains the foundation of the brand and is seen in pants, shorts, jackets and even dresses this spring.

I personally love the fact that we no longer have to rely on a relative residing abroad to get us AEO pieces. I was amazed with the amount of wearable basics (with AEO's touch of  its signature quality)  that are essential to anyone's wardrobe whatever the season may be.

Here's a closer look on what i saw inside the AEO's men's department.

American Eagle Outfitters is located at the Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

From Seoul Fashion Week to Eyelid Surgery

I've been following Vice for a very long time now. Basically, it's a site full of interesting documentaries usually about exploring  uncomfortable truths & going to places we normally don't. Some of my fave documentaries are: The "Warias of Indonesia" aka the Muslim Transgenders, "Inside North Korea" (a must watch), "Cambodia Fashion Week" (Pinoy designer, Don Protacio was featured here.) and the Seoul Fashion Week which is what I'm going to post below.

I've always wanted to go to Seoul for it's exciting fashion, rich culture and k-pop music. If you're also into that. You might enjoy watching this!

2012: The Year of Instagram

Hi everyone ! How many of you guys still doesn't have an account on Instagram? If not, boy, I'm telling you, you're missing a lot.

last 2012, I was introduced to Instagram. It started when I got my very first iPhone last year. More than facebook / twitter, my year can best be told through Instagram since I've been posting my so called life almost everyday. As of this moment, I've already posted 443 photos and counting.

So here's how my 2012's been :D There's way too many photos so I selected a few for you guys to see.
