My stroll around at Rustan's Edsa Shangrila with extra!!! (Part 2)






So yeah this is the part 2 of my stroll around at Rustan's Edsa Shangri La!!!

After I went to the Burberry boutique I went to the one & only Loewe boutique in the whole Philippines! And I immediately asked the SA for the Loewe Puzzle Bag, it will be my first time to actually try it on me. And I always thought that the Puzzle Bag is just your typical handbag. But it's NOT! It's actually a 5 way bag. You can make it as your typical handbag, a clutch, backpack, crossbody bag, and carry it with a shoulder strap. Then I asked the SA if the leather won't have some dark lines since the bag is slouchy and it's gonna be prone to those dark lines specially if you will carry it as a clutch. She said that it won't have some dark lines as long as it's kinda exposed with the air and not just stuck in a dustbag which is true to all leather bags out there.

Loewe Puzzle Bag


I would say that the Loewe Puzzle Bag is definitely one of the most versatile bags out there! And take note that this is not a seasonal piece so it will definitely hold it's value. The thing that kinda bothers me is that when I wear it like a backpack the strap is bothering my back i don't know why, maybe the SA didn't put it on backpack look properly but yeah. I wil definitely buy the Puzzle Bag but not right now. We we'll see for the upcoming seasons if there's gonna be color that would match my taste that's available here in the Philippines. According to the SA the Puzzle Bag was a hit and it was actually sold out quick, so Rustan's if you're reading... Bring more Puzzle Bags here! HAHAHA!

So after my visit at the Loewe boutique, I went to one of my favorite brands ever...... FENDI! Yes Fendi!!!! And when I entered the boutique I immediately saw 2 Karlitos hanging on color Red & Blue. I was like YAZZ!!! Then I saw immediately a Fendi Peekaboo on Selleria with a Fendi Monster Charm. It's just stunning!!! But the size of it is just too big for me. So I went to the Small Leather Goods Section and I saw the exact wallet that I want SO bad.



Fendi Monster Wallet


I literally freaked out when I saw it. I felt that the lord sent me here for a reason!! hahahaha!!!And the good thing is it's ON SALE! Yes it's on sale! But I don't know that came to my mind and told the SA to hold it first and I moved on to the card holders. So I compared the prices of the men's and women's card holder. And the women's card holder is cheaper hahahaha! So I went back to the handbag section and LITERALLY my eyes just falls in love on the Fendi Peekaboo Large on Black on Gold Hardware!!! I literally went nuts! The SA actually told me that she can see my happiness on my smile and eyes, and it works perfectly with my outfit during that day.






I'm literally head over heels to this bag!!! If some of you guys know me, Fendi Peekaboo is my dream bag (next to the Birkin haha), there's just something on it that makes me wanna splurge P190,000 for a bag! Yes that's the exact price for that bag that I showed you. Too bad my credit card doesn't have enough funds for this bag so I didn't bought it. The SA is really nice at the Fendi boutique. She has a great knowledge with anything about Fendi. I wish that bag can wait for me to save up enough to buy it. Hahaha! Well if someone bought that bag already, you're a very lucky guy/girl. To be honest if I can only own 1 bag in my whole life it would be that exact Fendi Peekaboo bag. Someday Peekaboo Someday.....

EXTRA!!!!!

For the Extra I would like to share to you when I browsed around the Homme et Femme store. Homme et Femme is a store that carries brands like Celine, Balenciaga, Marni, Alexander Wang, Commes Des Garçons, Acne Studios, Lanvin, and many more! And when I entered the store I saw that Acne Studios jeans are on sale, but they don't have any available for my size. How sad. Then I saw a Celine Luggage Tote.



Celine Luggage Tote


That exact same Celine Luggage Tote took my breath away! hahaha! Too bad I didn't took a picture of it. I also saw the Alexander Wang Rockie bag ON SALE! But they don't have the color that I want so I crossed it out. So I just ended up just browsing at the store and I saw some pretty good  items such as Marni coats, Acne Studios sneakers, Balenciaga Arena, CDG Play shirts, and many more! So If you're visiting Manila I recommend you to check out Homme et Femme or check out their largest store which is called Univers and they also have an outlet store called Archives d' Homme et Femme.





Avidevirici!!!

My Stroll Around at Rustan's Edsa Shangrila (Part 1)




So back on December 30 I went to Edsa Shangri La to go out with someone and while waiting for that person I decided just to roam around at Rustan's. I swear to god I haven't been to Rustan's Edsa Shangri La for a LONG time so I felt kinda lost because they are some new boutiques inside and the first boutique that I visited is the men's boutique of Hugo Boss. While I'm just browsing on some items inside I saw some pretty good items but most of them are in the Hugo Boss Green line so it means it's on the sporty side. So I asked the SA if the boutique only carries the Hugo Boss Green line and he said yes. He added that the mainline Hugo Boss is on the actual store at East Wing (I didn't went there). But there's this sneaker that actually caught my eye.


Hugo Boss Spacit lace up sneakers


It looks like a fusion of the Prada sneakers that looks like Jordan 11 and a typical sporty shoes. But I don't think I can pull it off coz it's not just my style.

My next stop is at the Montblanc boutique and I didn't saw something interesting. I just browsed on the leather goods section nothing caught my eye. So I went to the boutique next Montblanc which is Cartier. I entered the Cartier store and I immediately asked the SA for the LOVE jewelry line but she told me that they only sell watches, sunglasses, perfumes, and leather goods. So I'm kinda disappointed so I just browsed around the store. And I saw a watch that caught my eye.


Tank MC watch Large model, steel, leather
Cartier Tank MC


That exact watch really caught my eye also the rosegold version of it. I wanna try it on my wrist but the person that I'm gonna meet is already near the mall so I need to rush to our meeting place, HAHAHA!!!

So it's been a long fun day, the person that I went out is already home coz that person is kinda near the mall. HAHAHA!!!! I still don't feel going home so I went back and just stroll one last time. My first stop is at L'Occitane boutique and just stroll around check some deodorants and lotions for myself but nothing ticks my nose to buy it so I went to the Chanel boutique and since I've been to Chanel beauty boutiques literally every Rustan's they have the same stuffs so I just asked the SA to give me a paper with the Chanel Allure Homme Sport Extreme since Rustan's ATC doesn't have it so I gave it a try and it's very citrusy maybe a sport version of the Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche (I swear this is the most citrus fragrance I've ever had) so I didn't bought it. And I asked the SA if they have the Chanel Double Facettes Mirror, but she told me it's sold out so I'm kinda sad. HAHAHA!!!



Chanel Double Facettes Mirror


So after Chanel I went to the Burberry boutique and when I entered the boutique the first section that caught my eye is the "Scarf Bar". For those of you who doesn't know about the Scarf Bar at any Burberry stores. The Burberry Scarf Bar was launched last Fall in celebration of the heritage house’s cashmere scarves, there’ll be a Scarf Bar in every standalone Burberry store worldwide, offering customers the chance to create their own unique design.



Burberry Scarf Bar


I immediately asked the SA if they can monogram scarves if I bought one but he said that it's not available here in the Philippines. He added that that service is only available in Singapore here at the South East Asia region. So that made me off with the scarves since I want to hit the streets with a monogrammed Burberry scarf just like Cara Delevigne. LOL. My visit at a Burberry store is NOT complete without checking some classic trench coats. Burberry trench coats are very classy no matter the color is, it's just a classic piece. I would even consider it as an "investment piece" just like a Chanel Tweed Jacket. I check the fit of a classic trench and it looks stunning!!!! Too bad I didn't took a pic of myself wearing it :(

Watch out for the second part and you'll found out my first encounter with onee of my dream bags!!!
That's it for today!!!

Arrivederci!!!

Top 5 High Fashion X High Street Collaborations





High Fashion and High Street Fashion has always some common qualities to each other. And that is to make people look sharp. They might have different markets, but there's always a way to make them one and that is collaboration. I love High Fashion X High Street Collaborations!!!! You can have a High Fashion look in a way cheaper price! High Street Brands like H&M, Uniqlo, Topshop and many more has been collaborating with High Fashion Brands like Viktor & Rolf, Versace, Maison Martin Margiela. This collaborations met a huge commercial success. It even have some really long queue before it releases at stores. I love this idea I will make my personal favourite 5 High Fashion X High street Collaborations. This is my Personal opinion and not others.

So Let's Start






5) Jil Sander X Uniqlo (2009 - 2011)

Jil Sander may be known as very trendy yet wearable pieces And Uniqlo has been known as a lifestyle brand. So It means they have a mutual connection to each other that make this collaboration happen from 2009 - 2011. Very sheek designs by Jil Sander and a perfect execution by Uniqlo that didn't suffer the quality of the pieces. I really wish this collaboration will return. Should I start a petition online now?




4) Lanvin x H&M (2010)

This collaboration hit big! You can just see those coats & dresses and you will know this is gonna be a hit! The designs that the house of Lanvin is not trashy and it's very haute couture which worth every penny. H&M has a lot of collaborations before but this collaborations that really stand out. Just look at the pipeces at the picture below. It may not be priced as your typical H&M item but having one is definetly a steal! I hope they will collaborate again buy this time there's a menswear added.



 
3) Various Commes Des Garçons Collaborations

The house of Commes Des Garçons has donee a lot of collaborations with various brands from Converse to H&M to Nike. Rei Kuwakubo's Commes Des Garçons has been the favorite of these brands to collaborate with. With massive market sales it only shows how people love Commes Des Garçons and it always collaborates with common brands which is a good thing for both parties. Bringing premium designs to the masses. I'm looking forward to have some more Commes Des Garçons collaborations in the future which is most likely to happen anytime.




2) Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals

This list will not be completed without this hugely succesful collaboration of Moschino's creative director Jeremy Scott which is known for outrageous designs for the house of Moschino. Adidas reinventing their sub brand Adidas Originals is getting some serious attention from the mass since they launch this collabboration. Giving the people the famous high cut wings sneakers and it sells on a low price for a trendy couture like designs. The collaboration maybe focuses on footwear but this collaboration is too good not to mention. I'm waiting for more of their collaboration.




1) Maison Martin Margiela X H&M (2012)


Credits: knotoryus.com

When I learned about this collaboration is going to happen I went nuts! Maison Martin Margiela pieces in low price? I can't pass this out. My favourite house for casual wear Maison Martin Margiela collaborated with High Street brand H&M last 2012. The niche haute couture house is very popular with extravagant fashion shows and collections did this good deed for the masses to finally wear his designs by the common people by this collab. Again this might not be your typical H&M price line but it's very worth the penny.
