Eternal Summer

Can I just say, the heat during the past couple of ~~months~~ weeks has been really unbearable. Stepping out during the day is like stepping inside a sauna. Moving without breaking a sweat has even become impossible. ACs don't even work anymore. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little - or maybe not, but I am pretty sure you guys feel the exact sentiments.

You guys know about the "black clothing absorbs heat and light colored clothing bounce off heat" rule, right? Well, I don't think it applies anymore nowadays. Lol. Even if I wear the brightest and lightest of colors, I STILL FEEL THE HEAT BURNING THRU! Hahahaha.

Oh, even the rain doesn't help at all. We are doomed. We are now in ETERNAL SUMMER.

Basic House Philippines

As you might have noticed, the Korean fever is making big waves here in Manila - from Korean music, to Korean food, and of course Korean fashion. ~~Even the Koreans themselves are here already! Lol.~~ Basic House is now here in the Philippines. This is the first all Korean clothing store that has reached our shores.

Basic House Philippines

Yesterday, I attended the grand opening of Basic House Philippines in SM Megamall. Basic House is Korea's well loved fashion brand known for reinventing every day fashion staples. With classic and simple aesthetics yet incorporating global trends, Basic House creates contemporary collections that can be worn time and again. Basic house gives every fashion staple a refreshing and preppy twist while still providing style and comfort.

Summer Heat

The heat is literally on this summer. It's that time of the year to put out those tanks, singlets, or vests and pair 'em with comfy shorts and high cut kicks. Accessorize with a really cool snap back and a funky watch and you are good to go. This has been my favorite look lately. I just put on a short sleeved hoodie or a very light long sleeved hoodie at times when wearing just a tank ain't appropriate.

As you guys might have noticed, I prefer wearing high cut shoes more than anything else. Just in time, the Markdown Madness was just on this week and they had Creative Recreation samples on sale in my size! Imagine how I flipped out over this! Also, the Markdown Madness was held just beside our office building so there ain't any excuse not to go everyday to check out fresh drops every morning to make first dibs. Hahahaha. I was literally on a roll hoarding Creative Recreation kicks this week - 7 pairs to be exact. Lol. I'll share with you guys my new Creative Recreation babies at the end of this post.

Solo Traveller

Just sharing with you guys some of the outfits I wore during my Seoul, South Korea trip. I am saying some because there were some days I wasn't able to take outfit shots because of a really bad hangover from drinking the night before. Lol. I took these photos on the rooftop of the guesthouse (Hi Guesthouse) I stayed in using a tripod and a remote switch. As you may know, I travelled solo so I had no choice but to take my photos on my own. I didn't want to bother my housemates and ask them to take photos of me because they just might not get it. Hahahaha.

I was also planning to take photos of Korean street style fashion but ended up not doing it. Everybody seemed too busy and in a rush. I wouldn't dare stop people in the middle of the street under freezing temperature just to take photos of what they were wearing. Besides, I saw a lot of fashionable and stylish people all over Seoul. If I took photos of each and everyone of them, it would be crazy!!!
