PACK UP

This is how I pack up and organize.

If i find occasionally I don't have enough luggage space for all traveling clothes then fret not. and in case, i need to have an extra big empty bag and to save a space inside for shopping or whatever.

As you see, I have lots of travel packs and a toiletry kit because it would be really well-organized and easier for you to re-pack. I start off by laying out all of the outfits for each day as I have only 15 tops, 6 bottoms, 3 shoes inside my luggage. I don't want to carry too heavy. However, I get the underwears, scarves, pajamas and socks together in the same pack. I have no problem with this!

 Departing tomorrow afternoon. I will be traveling for 42 days as a trip to Japan, more than 2 weeks, then South Korea, staying there for almost 3 weeks. I'm a bit worried that i have to find a Fukuoka-Busan one-way ticket on the ferry at once when I arrive in Japan. They don't really have any online booking (from Japan to South Korea) in the Philippines. I've only booked Manila-Osaka and Seoul-Manila but I'm very excited! and meet my good friends there.

DESIRE

This simple outfit would be awesome paired with a fedora and the gold ring is so amazing! This ring reminds me that i have to look for a gold class ring with a red gemstone.

 

Robert Pattinson's maroon Gucci suit. IMO, the best dressing-up-for-Hollywood suit ever! This is what I've been looking for a long time. Probably will have one made if I can't find a similar suit! Instead of the traditional black tuxedo, I'm planning to suit up in this for my future wedding. It would be an absolutely cool look for a bridegroom with my best men all wearing the requisite black instead. Lends a very unique atmosphere to the wedding, methinks. Clearly, i don't mind breaking traditions. 

  
...Or maybe a white suit. It would be awesome for a beach wedding. I do like simple looks like this.

I discovered an apple green oxford skinny suit. this is stunning! I'll be looking for it.

Lately, I've started pairing my shorts with boots, the socks showing above them. I love how they go together. They make my world feel different.

WATCHES

 Michael Kors Mid-Size Bradshaw Chronograph Watch, Silver-Color/Rose Golden

My current watch collection mostly consists of the plain stainless kind (as in all-gold, all-silver, all-black) and ones with vintage leather bands. I already have two MK watches in the collection so I promised myself I will not buy yet another one. I've been looking for something different. Something not quite so plain. Tried browsing online and ended up discovering a watch I really like... and it turned out to be an MK one. Guess I'm breaking my promise about MK; they consistently come up with watch designs that are right up my alley. Looking for this one right now.

I'm saving up for my Rolex Submariner watch after, such as above. I already had my heart set on this one.

LAZY MONDAY

 (Zara biker jacket, Zara U-scoop tee, Penguin Jogging pants, Adidas Ransom Vellay 'black' shoes, MK silver watch, Ray-Ban black folding polarized wayfarer sunglasses )

 I thought it was about time I took that biker jacket for a walk and indeed it was great lounging about in it while on a date with my girl. Went shopping, movie-watching, and having delicious savory crepes together. Capped it all off watching a beautiful sunset. It was a perfect day.

SKATEBOI LOOK

Taken with Limon. :-D

(MK gold watch, Socks from mind bridge, Topman Shorts, beanie and sweater from H&M, and Vans italian leather authentic )

Decided to let my mood dictate my style today and felt like sauntering around in my Vans, skaterboi-style, lol. I'm definitely not used to donning this kind of outfit, but it's kind of fun. Got me to thinking that getting another pair of Vans wouldn't be such a bad idea so I browsed through the online catalog and finally boiled down to three choices. Still can't decide which one to get.

  Matte Leather Era

I probably choose this. 

 

Speckle Authentic

This has 3 color choices. I might choose red and this black one.

 Suede Era Wingtip

 I do think black suede is one of the most attractive fabrics to cover your feet with. Whenever I wear my black suede shoes, I'd notice people lingering their gazes on them.

Been looking for a pair of all-back Vans for a long time to add to my growing collection of black shoes and bags. Of all the color choices for a particular design, I would always pick either the black or brown (especially for leather) one. Most of my stuff are either brown or black since they are, of course, easier to integrate into most getups.

COOL PIECES

I'm still looking for formal harem pants, Lauren Ralph crew tee with logo, and Black U-neck pocket tee. I found them on Asos.com. I'm not sure about online shopping. i think it's not safe. maybe? Obviously I've never experienced about it . I'll try.  

DOG WALKING

(Zara summer shirt, Frédérique Constant leather watch, Zara slim trouser, Topman boots, and Zara hat)

This dog in the picture with me right here, named Limón. 

PLEASANT DAY

 

 Honestly, Friday is always the worst day of week for me because it always ruins my time, especially traffic, too crowded people everywhere outside but this Friday is totally different in a good way. it kinda uplifted my mood. My girlfriend took me out for a swim, which is 3 hours drive away from our home. the weather is perfect! Enjoyed cooking out, eating, holding hands, walking along the beach, and swimming. I want to go back again! As the possibility, there's next time.

What a wonderful Friday!

B&W

(Zara black hat, Industrie tank top, Zara black waxed pants, and Angel Clover watch)

I'm always wearing monochromatic outfits. obviously a sucker for, especially black 'cause it's actually simple, and attractive. paying more attention to it. I have been looking for quite some time for a pair of formal harem pants, of course black so I would wear it with a biker coat. I actually like it but i have to wait 3 months for a trip to japan, looking for them. Probably continuing to post more of other all black outfits. Hey, it's not just more than colors or something. Ha! ha!

Happy New Weeekend!

GRADATED KNIT CARDIGAN

(Forever21 Cardigan, Topman washed skinny jeans and Vans)

I tried to wear something new, nothing underneath this cardigan. to make this look stand out without tank top and any tee.

INSPIRATION FROM LOUNGING

(Blue plush blazer, Deep V-neck tee, H&M Grey jogging pants, Black Vans Authentic, Gold MK watch)

I utterly like wearing jogging pants with top something fancy. that would be good for somewhere relaxing on a special day with your partner. the blazer is one of my favorite thing about wearing with confidence.  

WHAT'S ON MY FINGER?

I admirably learned from Josh Beech who has tattooed a mustache on his finger. I actually like it but there's many reasons, i can't have one. Drawing it on mine is in desperate need of mustache. Lol!

COWBOY-LITE

 (Zara T-shirt, Zara electric blue resin effect skinny trouser,  and Zara suede ankle boots )

Messing with my hair and Having it look different every nano sec. ha! ha! Honestly I haven't slept that much and i only got one hour of sleep this morning. I ended up applying for a Japan Visa with my girlfriend and her lovely sisters. We will get it the week after next. crossing fingers! 'cause I've heard it said that it can be hard to get a visa sometimes.

I'm always throwing on something very basic and simple. if I'm rushing out of home (late). It would be easy and nice to wear any like this look or neutral outfit.

feeling woozy. I'm gonna back to sleep any minute now. Happy Weekend!

STUCK IN MY MIND

 (Zara hoodie, H&M tank top, Zara belt, Topman trouser, Nike navy cortez)

What's wrong with my shoulders in this picture? Anyway, At Starbucks just having some frappe with my friends.

I'm actually fond of this vintage sunglasses like RayBan. I have Folding Wayfarer in tortoise, Aviator, and Tortoise Clubmaster. A few hours ago, I finally bought the black one as I wanted it for a long time.
 
I can't wait for the sun wearing this new sunglasses. Lol!

BELTS IN A BOX

Pulled all the belts out of my closet a few hours ago. Thought it's about time I organize them as digging like a goddamn dog for a particular belt everyday through the uncontrollable chaos that is my closet is getting a little old. Of course I could make my life easier and buy a belt rack, but I remembered buying a vintage box sometime ago, one specifically designed for belt storage, which I did not use after I bought it because it seemed like such a hassle to roll belts up and put them back in every time after use. Decided this kind of hassle is not really that much compared to the daily closet digging so I finally got the box out from under my desk and dumped all the belts in.

As you can see, most of my belts are either brown or black. I usually buy them in those colors because they are, of course, easier to wear with most kinds of getups than with brightly colored ones. I wouldn't be averse to wearing bright ones, though; they would definitely look awesome paired with two neutral articles or dark monochromatic outfits for that contrasting impact. Speaking of neutrals, I'm thinking of getting a reversible belt with white on one side and black on the other, Something like this.



And that's all for belts. I love them. With the right one, it's easy to tastefully jazz up an outfit in an instant.

CARDIGAN & DOCKSIDE

 (Spao cardigan, Topman jeans, and Sebago black dockside)

I'm totally fixated on cardigans and there is nothing else like a cardigan to me. if it's done in a tasteful way so, I was really stoked to wear it. I wasn't sure about this brown color one so I went ahead with it. Not bad! sort of classic and I like it. I supposed not to use this new dockside and just keep it for later but both of them were my mood in that day.

Happy Sunday! Hope you have a relaxing fun filled day.

INSOMNIA

Unexpectedly, I didn't check the time after midnight that I was trying them on myself pairing with some clothes, and the sunrise came, I suddenly raced against time to organize them that I needed to sleep. Incidentally, I find myself buying tons of shoes these day, worse than before and...i've been influenced by my sweetheart. I need more shoe rack space in my room and more boxes, therefore i need to stop and she needs me to stop too. Lol!

SOME FRIDAY RANDOMNESS

(H&M 80's tank top, Topman blue shorts, Topman Hoodie)

Went out with my girl for a quick shopping and had a delicious Samgyupsal.

End the day with green tea drinks at Starbucks.

....

Grabbed a magazine and found this look. I utterly like it.

Cheers!

SORT OF BOUGHT ON A WHIM

(Sebago black docksides, Penguin jogging pants, Zara summer hat, Zara circular suit trouser, Zara suede ankle boots, Zara grey slim trousers and Beige too, Zara brogue wedge, Zara T-shirt with pocket and Zara trouser with elasticated hems)

 

I seem to be doing more shopping these days and there's always a reason it's on sale anywhere here after January. I just bought some sale items right away, not only taking all items because of sale, although, I took most regular priced items. likely you can't wait until the sale or regret later because It sometimes can be unpredictable and it's like a game. there's only one question you should ask yourself. the price matters or doesn't matter to anyone who considers...

LONG HAIR

I miss being a long haired man and mostly, they called me Samurai. so after this summer or christmas,  I'm growing my hair out. possibly, they will call me the same thing again. ha! ha!
