PAPER LOVE

I always find myself tucked in one corner, pouring though images, doodling and making notes over a cup of warm coffee before hitting the sack.

My Moleskine has become the ultimate place for all my ideas and it excites me no matter how the pages turn out.

TAN, WHITE, SOME STRIPES AND ALL THAT MATTER

I pretty much stick to my fail-safe basics like a number of crisp white button-down shirts (4 which I got during my trip to Kuala Lumpur last November for only MYR 10.00- around $2.00 I believe) paired with blue jeans, khakis and grey trousers.

I always like my clothes subtle, yet refined.

My parents used to tell me, there's much to be said for understated elegance & discretion - no gimmicks necessary.

I have to say this again, “I like seeing people make the unthinkable work in such an elegant way. It is about how you carry yourself, so if someone seems really at home with what they're wearing, then it's great.”

Effortless chic, does not get any better than that.

BASIC MATTER 17 : THE CLASSIC BROWN LACE-UPS

I totally love classic brown lace-ups. A nice pair are essential
to go with well cut trousers, tailored suits, or just about anything.

(never commit the cardinal sin of buying a pair of rubber soled shoes, as opposed to a pair of shoes with a leather sole.)

I love how a simple brown lace-up gain its own personality with time and multiple polishes - everyone should own a pair or two.

I am going shoe hunting tomorrow, wanna come?

THEO'S BACK

The long wait is finally over. It has been almost three months since Theodore’s temporarily closed shop at the Fort to move in to their new home in Legaspi Village.

Like Homme et Femme and Dotdotdot, Theodore’s has a pretty good selection of hard to find non-mainstream brands like Evisu, Swear, Opening Ceremony, Superga, Kid Robot and Common Projects.
