Captain Iron Man (Giveaway)

Rex Clothing shirt, Terranova khaki pants, Skechers boots, SM Accessories aviator shades and bracelets, Fidelity “Captain America’s shield” ring and “Iron man” pendant. Hype this on Lookbook here.

Had my hair bleached again. I’ve always liked to try different things and experiment with my hair. I missed being blonde, all the more after seeing Chris Evans in The Avengers. I wanted to do a blog entry inspired by Captain America. Maybe next time with enough workout, I could be as buff and fit as he is. But for now, his blonde hair and shield are all I can replicate.

My sister Janine who owns the blog and online store Fidelity made these clay accessories by hand. Awesome right? You can have anything you want made to order by contacting her on Tumblr, Twitter or Facebook.

As for this shirt, it’s one of the pieces from the summer collection of Rex Clothing. What I like most about their shirts is that not only do they have that homey, comfortable feel when you wear them, the graphic designs are also stylish enough to be worn with minimal layering or accessorizing.
  
Want to have your own Rex Clothing shirt? Here’s something even better: You have the chance to own all the pieces of their summer collection by joining their giveaway.

Hello, Hong Kong!

A week ago, we were blessed with the most amazing opportunity: to do coverage of Hong Kong Fashion Week for Love Chic! We actually received the invites to be official Overseas Journalists (OJs) of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council as early as Christmas time, but we didn’t want to believe it until we actually had the plane tickets on hand. In effect, we were still completely surprised when they arrived in the mail!

The flat little building amidst all the skyscrapers is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), where the fashion shows, trade fair and press conferences all happened. We’ll be posting all about these in the coming days, but for now, the obligatory outfit posts.

Topman shirt, Forever 21 Men plaid shirt, Bench jeans, Adidas sneakers, 101 New York scarf, Kissaholic satchel bag. Hype on Lookbook here.

From Bangkok dress, H&M shorts, Topshop stockings, Aldo socks, Parisian at SM Department Store booties, Kissaholic satchel bag, 101 New York scarf, SM Accessories connector ring. Hype on Lookbook here.

It’s our first time in Hong Kong, and also our first time to go out of the country alone. So despite being terribly underdressed for the fashion capital’s winter air, we were feeling warm and fuzzy inside. We can’t wait to share more photos and stories with you!
   
Happy Year of the Dragon, folks!
   
Special thanks to Miss Vivienne Chee and Chloe Kiosk of the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council for inviting us to be Overseas Journalists.

Let’s run away and don’t ever look back

Think Pink

What we wore to today’s general convocation of Commerce students in UST, where we gave a talk on “Creativity in Business.”

On Seph: Cardigan with scarf, Topman. Pink shirt, Chemistry. Jeans, Bench. Pink socks, Dickies. Shoes, Adidas. Camera flashlight used as pendant, a gift from Crissey. Hype this on Lookbook.

On Shai: Pink dress with white hearts and floral jacket, Chemistry. Black tights, Topshop. Silver ring and bracelet, Me&U. Camera pendant and flower ring from Bangkok. Hype this on Lookbook.

This day was a blur—as gasgas as it is to say this, time really flies when you’re having fun and fun we definitely had. This is only our second time to give a talk, the first one being for the ACLE of UP Diliman’s Engineering students (yes, it’s the same dress design on Shai, only in blue). So to be welcomed so warmly by the Thomasians, to be eagerly asked so many questions and be told how much we inspire students, gives us some seriously fuzzy feelings. As promised, snapshots below.

Impromptu “class picture” of students who didn’t leave right away, taken from the stage. Now we wish we could’ve posed with them instead. Heh.

Our little sister Janine Cham. She’s one of the organizers, as the Public Relations Officer of UST Pre-Com Society. We’re so proud!

With hosts Topi and Chloe and events planner/host/voice talent Guggles. It’s our first time to meet them but we instantly clicked.


We want to post more photos, but different cameras were used and these are the only ones from ours. Whomever we missed, shout-out to you guys!

Thank you to everyone for having us, especially to those who made it possible. We really enjoy doing these things, sharing our stories, being stand-up comedians and impromptu dancers. So if you’re in school and you’d like to have us for your edu-tainment, email us and we’d be glad to be there.

Under the hood

Grey hooded shirt from Divisoria and Tough Jeans with patchwork detail. Hype this on Lookbook here.

I sometimes get frustrated that there really aren’t many choices for guys locally, i.e. the items are either affordable yet common-looking or unique yet a bit pricey. Especially for jeans. So whenever I score a pair that combines budget and style, I go for it.

Same with shirts. There’s nothing like finding an awesome-looking piece like this in Divisoria. Second best thing about bargain-hunting, next to bargain-hunting with my girlfriend.

Height difference

We often get asked about our height difference. Here, an accurate portrayal:

Seph at 6 feet and Shai at 5’3” in flats.

Aaand a slight improvement in kitten heels. Haha! It’s okay though. We share the height difference of Gu Jun Pyo and Geum Jan Di, one of our favorite Korean drama couples.

Hype on Lookbook here, here and here.

Jumpin’ Jack and Jill

We sometimes get asked how we conceptualize our shoots. Nothing cerebral with our process. This is how.

We don’t. Mostly we just check our respective closets and see how we can make what’s in them work, then we find ourselves a nice random spot (in this case, the rooftop parking of a mall) then we click away. The story comes to mind just when we’re about to post. We believe it’s a whole lot more fun that way.

Yellow Ice Watch. “Pump run” shirt and “Goodyear tire” sneaks, Adidas.

Doggie-print hooded shirt, thrifted. Doc Martens-inspired boots, Asian Vogue.

So this is just us, but yeah, it doesn’t always have to look so put-together. Pretty doesn’t always look fun, but fun always looks pretty.

How now brown cow

We think of our own titles and somehow this strange phrase is what comes to Seph’s mind when describing what he wore to yesterday’s ACLE (most likely from all the brown complementing Shai’s baby blue outfit).

Shirt with buttoned collar and blazer, Chemistry. Jeans, Mossimo. Boots, Call It Spring.

This is the same blazer that Shai wore, only in grey. It’s a literal boyfriend blazer.

Seph’s current favorite. It’s comfy and versatile enough to be worn with anything, from laidback and casual to semi-formal.
