Fashion Promo: Go Fickle Manila Shoes for the Fickle Minded Fashionista | A Pair is up for Grabs!

When it comes to shoes, who wouldn't be fickle minded when we can never have enough to start with? Introducing Go Fickle Shoes, thanks to Go Fickle Manila for shooting me an email.



The Fickle Flats and Fickle Wedges are basically sandals with straps that can be interchanged. To date, there are 17 ways (and counting) on how to tie the straps. Ergo, one can have unlimited pairs of sandals/slippers by just purchasing one pair of Fickle Flats and/or Fickle Wedge, making it a very practical buy.



Also, the in-soles of our Fickle Flats and Fickle Wedges are made of very soft inside foam for maximum comfort.

I want and I am sure you want too! The Fickle Flats and Fickle Wedges come in sets. The Prime Set (Php750 and Php1050, respectively) can be considered as a “starter set” for shoe lovers, as this set consists a pair of Fickle soles and two (2) pairs of Fickle straps, customer’s choice.



The Posh Set (Php1050 and Php1350, respectively), on the other hand, is the “practical set” since the set includes a pair of Fickle soles and six (6) pairs of Fickle straps.

Win a Pair of Whooga Ugg Boots!

I don't know about you but I always find Ugg Boots sexy. BUT it's near impossible to get them in Manila where other types of boots are in street fashion. Followers of ugg boots include supermodel Kate Moss and sultry Latina actress Eva Longhoria.



These massive boots are ultra comfy, wore them during winter and gone are the old styles of ugg boots that made human's feet look like an elephant's. Take for instance Whooga Ugg Boots.

I saw something like this at Aldo but they were more shoes rather than boots. It looks like you're wearing your socks outdoors :)



And here's how you should wear these boots with.

Now Whooga Ugg Boots are giving my readers in Manila (yes!) a chance to win a pair just by subscribing to their newsletter. Head to http://www.whooga-eu.co.uk/. OR if you can't wait to win, Whooga Ugg Boots are giving my readers a special discount. Just enter this code: 1332RELAX which will give you 10% off for the next week.

I hope you enjoy finding your perfect Whooga Ugg pair! :)

Chic Penshoppe Glam Flats in different colors! and some of my flat shoes.

Flats are an essential they should be affordable but chic just like this!



Penshoppe's Glam Flats, just saw this on their Facebook Page and I have my eye on the silver flats with the animal print in soles.

I've been stuck in wearing gold flats, I have two of them. One from Steve Madden:



And another gold one from Parisian:



I think it's time to get a different color aside from gold.

Penshoppe Glam Flats are in selected Penshoppe Boutiques, will visit one soon so I can grab a pair :)

What are your favorite flats and what color are they?

Fashion: Cartoony High Wedge Shoes

My first high heeled shoes after giving birth. I hope this counts because this is not really "heels" but "wedges". Compared to heels, these are much easier to wear though they don't seem like it. I got these from SM Parisian at the department store.



Wore them all day and caught my husband tweeting "Lace is so hot and tall today". He also shot this photo. Why not coconut. I think I want one in black too.

I also love the Penshoppe Eco Bag from the last Fashion Week. I know, I know. But it's just so roomy and big <3

Thank you Santa Claus.

Fashion: Wicked Leather Flats

Whose wicked shoes are these?

So soft and light! As if they are wrapped around those subtle feet and toes. Looks like cloth but it is strong leather. I wished the pair was mine but no. Meet the face of the shoe's master:


Beauty blogger Phoebe Ann!

I am lucky she told me where I can get a pair. I wouldn't tell, you should visit her blog at http://www.phoebeann.me/

I wish I have time to get one already x.x hellooo Santa.

Fashion: Florals on a Rainy Day

They say, if you are wearing floral clothes, don't go out in the rain or you will multiply x.x



I say, floral makes me look fat! I am tempted to shrink this photo horizontally *lol*

I thought prints will bring some brightness to the gloomy weather. I've been itching to get floral prints, and finally I found a piece to satisfy my fashion craving.

Although prints really make me look fat. Choosing a black printed fabric should lessen the widening effect.



And then new strappy shoes in black once more!

Canvas High Heels by Toms Shoes

I've been looking for this style of platform/wedge heels especially after seeing Jimmy Choo's rafia wedge shoe. And then I got this in my email (how I wish I get them on my doorstep instead!) -



Tom's Shoes Tacones Calypso High Heels in different colors: Red, Black, Yellow, and in stripes.


I think it's sexy and comfy, plus according to my source - Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightly and Liv Tyler have fallen in love with the canvass flats. Who wouldn't? I wonder how much each Tacones cost because I really want one.

TOMS Shoes is known for comfortable shoes. But what sets it apart is the One for One Movement. The company will give one pair of shoes for every TOMS shoes purchased to a child in need in a developing country.

Stepping into Parisian Shoes

It's been a while (a long while) since I seriously hunted for shoes. I cannot afford to wear heels at this time so I must find flats that are interesting enough for myself. Lots of fashion bloggers are raving about how cool and stylish Parisian shoes of SM have become and I just had to see it for myself.

I've vowed to grab this pair of interesting flats and actually saw them for the first time at SM Makati. Yet, my size was no longer available. I wanted to cry! It was in black but it was in size 6. I tried to squish my feet like an evil step sister in Cinderella but to no avail.



Yesterday, I went to SM Bacoor and yey! My size was available but I had to settle for brown. It wasn't actually on display and I had to show the photo above from my cellphone to the salesladies. Good thing they were really helpful even the stocks-man who scavenged in the stock room for my size.

They have lots lots more interesting pieces and I wish I could get them all, even the towering ones but I have to stop myself. Til the next pair!

Meet Ginga - The latest in Flip Flops!

You know what's good about all the flip-flop craze and new brands popping out? It's giving us girls the license to have more relaxed comfort and getaway with wearing flip flops just about anywhere :)




I am guilty of this (and also on wearing Crocs everywhere)especially when I have no time to decide what shoes to wear. They are just so easy to go with and fun to wear with all the colors and prints available.

For popular casual footwear brand Ginga, pronounced as jinga (which literally means to rock back and forth or to swing like the fundamental movement in capoeira), flip-flops aren’t just for summer strolls and beach getaways. They are the perfect footwear for the rainy season—they are comfy, stylish, durable, and easy to clean and dry. No need to worry about drenched shoes and dripping socks!




I personally like white colored flip flops but they get dirty easily. I will try with my new pair of Ginga if they are really easy to clean. White flip-flops are just so feminine just like a Barbie doll's slip-ons. The photos above are just some of Ginga's designs that I personally like and think that you would love to :)

Join TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes on April 9

Everyone is invited to support the One Day Without Shoes movement by walking barefoot on April 9, 2010 in the South Court of Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center starting 10 am.



During the event, people will be asked to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience a life without shoes first-hand, and to help spread awareness of the impact that a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child’s life

To register, drop by any Nothing But H20 and SWIM store, or email tomsshoesphilippines@gmail.com and visit www.facebook.com/ilovetomsphilippines for more details. Participants will have a 5% discount and a raffle coupon for a chance to win a free pair of TOMS.

Many children in our country still grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk. A leading cause of disease in developing countries like ours is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.

Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.

Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.

Since their beginning in May 2006, TOMS has given over 400,000* pairs of shoes to children in need, through the purchases of caring customers.

After four years in business, "One for One" model is more than just a novelty project. TOMS has expanded its line, won the 2007 People's Design Award at Cooper-Hewitt's National Design Awards, became a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and landed shelf space in Whole Foods.

Crocs McCall Coral

Because I can't wear high heels and my feet are continuously growing, I decided to get the choice of preggy ladies when it comes to comfortable footwear - Crocs!



Until yesterday, I have been wearing flipflops wherever I go. Comfy but sometimes it's just not appropriate to wear with anywhere. Unless if I am heading to a resort or simply doing the grocery in the neighborhood mall.

I wanted something closed but with great support and comfy material. Enter the Crocs McCall Coral (because it wasn't available in black). I felt so liberated to have a new pair that properly fit my pregnant tootsies!

Looks like this would go well with my hospital gown :)

Nike Sportswear's N98 Track Jacket and Air Max Gen II

Since its inception, Nike Sportswear has made a virtue of the ethos of evolution, crafting iconic products with innovative materials and defining designs. Nike Sportswear pushes the invisible wall between where the athlete stops playing and starts living.



The Spring/Summer 2010 product fuses innovation and sport heritage to enable Nike Sportswear to create new expressions of sport style.



The Nike Sportswear Icon series will see two newly remixed classics: the N98 Track Jacket and the Grand Slam Polo take center stage. The N98 Track Jacket was introduced in 1998 and was worn by teams like the Brazilian national football team. Its 2010 redesign features enhancements such as a flat knit rib collar and cuffs, bonded seams, and double-welded, zippered pockets. The Grand Slam Polo traces its heritage from the tennis court to the sidelines of sport stadiums around the world. Its new incarnation has been crafted to keep the wearer cool and dry with details like a subtle vented collar, the flat-knit fabric for the interior and even the size of buttons.

FROM MEDAL STANDS TO THE STREET Inspired by a match that moved the world, the N98 Track Jacket stands for “National 1998,” notably paying tribute to the 1998 Brazilian National Team. The N98 design takes off from the debut Brazilian team kit by Nike, tapping the classic zip-front track jacket’s deep heritage as a true icon of sport style. The Nike Sportswear team has made it a signature piece for spring, integrating it throughout the line, including creating a premium version for NSW Collection with Gore Windstopper fabric, laser-cut bonded RiRi zippers and reflective film across the back piping.

In preparation for a summer of football, the Nike Sportswear footwear design team joined forces with Nike Football to explore the needs of some of the world’s greatest footballers when they leave the field of play. Focused on solving the needs of the athletes, the result is a technical solution called Torch

TORCH AND AIR MAX BW GEN II (P5,995)



Torch is a lightweight, moisture-managing, supremely comfortable three-layer textile. The outer layer features a visually stunning, protective diamond pattern that holds its shape and won’t crease at stress points like traditional materials. The middle layer offers a lightweight structural element that stands up to a post-match cool-down or an active day around town. The inner layer provides moisture-managing breathability to keep the foot cool and allow for a period of rest after a game.

Torch has also been integrated into several classic Nike silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2010. The Air Max BW Gen II, Air Force 1 and Air Maxim 1 all get the Torch treatment, as well as technical enhancements such as welded uppers and natural motion soles. The Air Max BW Gen II was originally introduced in 1991 and has been a cult favorite of runners and sneakerheads ever since.

Charles & Keith - If Shoes Could Kill

Go bananas with the new arrivals

I died when I saw this shoe and just had to get it. After scouring 3 malls to feed my shopping frenzy, I found the one shoe to kill them all at Charles & Keith.



Finally, new shoes!

This is the first time I seriously visited the store with a mission. If you haven't been, you'll be surprised at how updated their collection is whether it is Spring, Winter, or Summer. It's not winter but I got the last shoe from the Winter 09 collection, we can never have enough of wearable winter fashion.


The Charles & Keith Megamall Branch also has these two superstars from their Summer collection. There are actually 2 Charles & Keith boutiques in Megamall, one near the cinema and one is inside the Department Store. Always, always they have limited stocks and sizes, if your size is not available in one area then check with the other boutiques.



Also check out their bags and sunnies which you will have fun trying out - one pair reminds me of Gucci shades I saw last week! View their updated catalog at www.charleskeith.com almost all the stuff there you can find at Charles & Keith stores in Manila. Happy shopping!

Crazy for Crocs: SS09 Collection and Promo

Are you one of the plenty who are still going crazy for Crocs? I suggest you look at these Summer/Spring collection that remind me of Barbie's sandals. As usual they are superb in comfort but this time, I am digging their style more than ever:



Crocs have seriously moved on after Mario Batali's orange clogs.

In other Crocs news, Magic 89.9’s Good Times radio show has joined the Crazy for Crocs wagon and you can win awesome prizes too. Every week, various Crocs-themed video challenges will be announced through the radio show. You can then upload your video entries to crazy4crocs.com and what do you know, you could be the next Internet star ;) Contestants to the weekly challenges will get the chance to win prizes such as Canon digital cameras, while contestants to the monthly challenges stand to win P100,000 each month.



For the less daring, simply shopping at Crocs could win you instant prizes at each branch's fish bowl or at the Grand Raffle Draw where you can win 26” Samsung LCD TV’s, Canon camcorders, and a Honda Jazz.

Happy shopping at Crocs barbies! :)

VNC is on SALE!

VNC is having a mid-year sale! Time to add more shoes to your rack at discounted prices. VNC is also known as Vincci, if ever you go visit to Malaysia - Vincci is selling shoes like hotcakes. I always keep a pair of VNC pumps inside my bag, ever since I got them :)

This is the best time to try VNC shoes for yourself!

Melbourne Black

If Melbourne, the most fashionable city, has a color then it would be black. Channeling this now here in Manila, we're lucky the skies are gloomy and black won't be too warm for the weather. Mysterious, serious, sexy, and slimming - won't you love black too?




Also, amazing these jet black shiny VNC pumps are, I walked in them all day and I am still alive. Wore a long sleeved, pseudo-layered, and collared shirt, the Minty meets Munt puffy skirt, the black tights from Myer, and used the snake skin bag from Nine West.

As always, when you feel good with what you are in, then you would probably have a good day. Otherwise, at least you can sail through stressful situations in style :)

What are you wearing today?
