MUCH NEEDED WEEKEND BREAK AT THE BUTT CRACK OF DAWN

Ironically, being invisible for the past two months also meant that I've been insanely busy working on new business pitches, editing and writing multiple press releases, organizing press conferences and making progress on other stuff that's been languishing.

I haven’t even had the chance to squeeze in a little bit of shopping during workday lunch or happy hour and finding a better balance only means I have to do what I have to do, and what I have to do is get work done and find a way to take advantage of my weekends instead of bringing work home all the time.



Then, I woke up one weekend morning up at the butt crack of dawn realizing I haven’t done anything interesting for the past year and a half. I haven’t gone sailing, I haven’t visited the driving range nor kissed the putting green in ages, paint and hold an exhibit, shopped impulsively without mom and dad stopping me, traveled abroad nor find the time to visit mi mamá y papá down south. I really need to figure out how to not exhaust and burn myself from this curse.

I must shut up and work on the pitch fast - buddha needs to shop this weekend!

Here’s what’s on my list this weekend:

shawl collar sweater

new black oxford lace-ups

crisp white dress shirt

new black leather watch straps

probably sourcing for fabrics too and yes,


bonus item – deck shoes! Haha


And oh, drop by Plant and check out the Rockwell Urban Bazaar ( Dean & Trent’s there!)

PLAID, PATTERNS AND BLUE JEANS

Plaids and patterned buttoned shirts loaded with subtle details are back but it should be upgraded every other season. The version of the moment – with a narrow torso, close cut sleeves, and hidden button ( for much dressier occasions) – looks just as good with a pair of dark jeans as it does with khakis.

HIGH-LOW MIX FASHION HEROIN

Dressing in head-to-toe monochrome can be really stylish and sophisticated as long as looks good on you. These days, having your own distinct personal style is the new trend in fashion.

With a pinch of creativity, DIY and vintage shopping is the best alternative to saving yourself from unwanted cash flow.

Crisp, fresh and modern – it’s like fashion heroin, you’ll do anything to wear it daily.
