I love any kinds of footwear, especially the ones that are comfortable, easy to wear, and stylish. So I was really happy to be invited to the boutique opening of a Spanish footwear brand - Flossy in Abreeza Ayala Mall. Flossy imbibes the quintessential vibe of carefree Ibiza. Their plimsolls are very comfortable and stylish fit for the new generation of youth.



These handmade footwear was worn by bohemians, street artists, and sailing enthusiasts and it gained its popularity in Ibiza as a staple within the clubbing scene. The fame reached the UK and everyone is wearing it a summer footwear and now, it's available in over 40 countries worldwide.

Flossy Arnedo

The original design yet not boring, the Flossy Arnedo features a vibrant range of solid hues such as Coral, Pastel Blue, Maroon, and Teal Green.

Flossy Ondara

This is the Flossy Ondara. The Ondara completes the range with a silver, and pale pink offering in crusted jewelled finishes perfect for casual and more glamorous occasions.

Flossy Malaga Watermelon White

They also have a lot of designs for you to choose. I don't know about you, but this Malaga Watermelon plimsoll is super cute!

Flossy Cadiz Floral

Inspired by the bohemian aesthetic, the Flossy Cadiz Floral, which comes in blue, black, or white floral designs, is ideal for the adventure-seeking or artistically-inclined bunch.

Flossy Madrid

They also have a wide variety of designs for men. The Flossy Madrid is available in blue, tan, or black. This is ideal for the preppy guys out there.




They have plimsolls for kids too! You can have the same design with your kids and have that "Like Mother - Like Daughter" moment.



I almost forgot to tell you that all Flossy footwear smells so good! It smells like candy! According to Ms. Alex Lizares, Flossy Style Brand Executive, it's a natural reaction to the specialized rubber that they use in making these stylish plimsolls.

Thanks Ms. Alex and Ms. Mae Sanchez, from the Primer Group of Companies for inviting us to the opening of Flossy.

Visit the Flossy Boutique now and walk around in style and comfort with the latest footwear in the Philippines.

That's it for today folks! Thanks for dropping by! Have a great day!

CHIMES Specialty store opened its newest and third branch at Felcris Centrale last November 7, 2015. Lucky me, I was invited to witness the grandest opening of their store along with the Davao Bloggers Society, media, VIP's, celebrities and bloggers from Manila.



Ever since, CHIMES was the best store to visit if you are looking for a wide variety of products from international and local brands. Ms. Cindy Yap, the owner of CHIMES Specialty Stores said that this is her family's lifelong dream to bring the international market to the Dabawenyos.

I never imagined to meet a Filipino representative from Next Top Model franchise. So when Abreeza invited me to join their new Fashion Forum, I never hesitated to say NO. Why? Because their guest was Monika Sta. Maria, the last Filipina standing in the latest season of Asia’s Next Top Model. She talked about her career in modeling and what she learned from the reality show.


Monika is the 1st runner up in AsNTM Season 3 next to Ayu Gani from Indonesia. She was a volleyball player from De La Salle University and a psychology graduate. She also won the Century Tuna SuperBods last 2012.


During the Fashion Forum, she shared to us her experiences when she auditioned for the show. She actually auditioned for the show’s Cycle 2 but she didn’t make the cut. So when she heard that there will be another audition, she really came in first and proved to the panel of judges that she is really serious in joining the next cycle. She successfully made the cut along with Amanda Chan and a Davaoeña Franchesca Lagua.



A lot of fans were able to ask her questions during the interview. And of course, I stand up and asked a very simple question. Fanboying here. LOL!

“You were a volleyball player in DLSU, right? Then, what made you decide to do modeling?” “Oh, actually I am into modeling na talaga and then I want to do something in school so, I became a volleyball player. Kaya lang, magkaiba kasi ang diet ng isang volleyball player compared sa pagiging model. Vigorous kasi ang training namin. So I really have to choose.**”

We also had a chance to take pictures with her on stage.

A selfie is mandatory. So here she is.

She’s very tall and skinny but just right. She really loves all of her fans and never lets them down if they asked for a selfie.

Thanks to Ms. Cheekie Albay and Abreeza Ayala Mall for inviting me again in this monthly convergence of fashion and lifestyle.

SM Lanang Premier presented their latest denim collections from the SM Youth Brands last July 18 in the #DenimCitizens Fashion Show. I was invited to check out the latest denim wear, showcased on the runway by Davao’s top models and the SM Youth Ambassadors.



There was an ensemble of denim pieces from Tee Culture, Markus, and a lot more. I never thought you can wear denim on denim without looking like your Aunt from the 80′s. Haha! Well, I gotta admit, I’m really not good in style.



SM Lanang Premier was struck by teens and young adults because they know that the guests of the fashion show were the SM Youth Ambassadors, LA Aguinaldo, and Richard Juan. Richard was one of the finalists of Eat Bulaga’s Foreignoy and LA is the AXE Gold Man and the newest Asia Model Star.



We’re glad that we had a chance to meet the Ambassadors and the head stylist of the show, Mr. Bjorn Medina.


Rush down to SM Lanang Premier to get the latest denim trends. All of their denim wear is located at the Ground Floor near the entrance of SM Department Store.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

This was one of my favorite polos I got from Forever 21 when we went to Cebu in Thanksgiving last year. This was my second OOTD in our 4-day Cebu escapade with my friends. You can check my first OOTD here entitled, “Being Green”. Both polo shirts were on sale so I bought them without any hesitation. Wow! Yaman! Haha!

I really like the color and the details of this polo. Well, the fact that I like blue and I was into floral designs at that time. Since the top is full of designs and colors, I matched it with a plain black sweatshorts. I like it because it’s really comfortable to wear and you can match it with different shirts or polos. This super comfy shorts is still from Forever 21. Actually, it was raining outside when we shot this at a park near our hotel. It was November 30 because I can still remember there were a lot of military officials around the area in celebration of Bonifacio Day. I know it’s a bit too late to post this, but I think I look good in this picture. Do you agree? Haha! :)
