SKATING LANE

There is just this overwhelming freedom whenever I see a skater glide through the road and bumps with the air.

No Regrets Just Love

Plaid Long Sleevs | H&M

Pants | Penshoppe

Sunglasses | Topman

Shoes | Wade

Bag | Nike

Before anything else, just want to tell that there's been so much hatred in this world so we need to stop those things. Don't regret the things that you have done because you've learned from it. Spread love instead. Good vibes.... Just Love.

Okay, enough with the drama. I just love that thought. Just like what I'm wearing, you won't regret in buying an H&M clothing because you will love it for sure. I wore this H&M long sleeves of mine because of many things:

1.) SM Aura is now open and there are rumors that the first H&M store in the Philippines will be placed there
2.) I'm showing to you readers how stylish H&M shirts are. I still have a few on my rack better keep posted on my blog.
3.) Because it's one of my favorite international brands.

Those are the reasons. I wore this outfit for my review class because after my class I have to go to a mall and I think it's really an appropriate attire to wear for such agendas. And oh, I paired it with my plaid shoes as well from WADE. It's a local brand that sports affordable stylish shoes.

I am PAULO and have NO REGRETS, JUST LOVE!

take pictures if not with a camera, with your mind...

Shirt | H&M

Pants | Oxygen

Eyeglasses | Forever21

Socks | Topman

Shoes | People Are People (K-bond)

Basically, most of you will think that I got the idea for my title from my shirt because it has a camera on it. Well, you are right! There's nothing that special about my attire. For me, it's like a casual Saturday review since I've been preparing a lot now for boards. In review classes, it's really important to wear something you are very comfortable with and you can move freely with it. So that you won't get distracted while listening to the one teaching you. And I'm think, that this one will do it. A simple printed shirt from H&M, pants from Oxygen. Wait! I just have to tell something about the pants that I'm wearing. It's a slim cut reversible pants. As you can see at the end of my pants, the folded part is of different color. That's the reversed side of the pants I'm wearing. And it's very affordable, mind you. Moving on, I paired my attire with a white socks from Topman with colorful things on it... can't really describe it... and lastly my shoes.

I am PAULO and ... those are MEMORIES.

Fashion Nerd

 

A few told me that I'm becoming a fashion nerd. Just like any nerd, an overly obsessive but in terms of fashion, but I think I'm just passionate about wearing who I think represents myself and wearing to inspire people and hopefully could make a difference out of this. So through my thinking and because of my new favorite color, I came up to an outfit which I can proudly call the... Fashion Nerd.

It's obvious that my new favorite color is burgundy. But I'll talk more about burgundy on my next blog post. Promise! 'cause, this is something else. It's me and my experimenting mind. And oh, I think I want to change my blog name into THE PAULO LABORATORY or THE PAULO LAB. (Readers, tweet it to me @thepaulodiaries if you agree or not. Thanks for the cooperation).

So the base color is burgundy. That's why the pants (H&M) is in that color. Then, I want it simple but turning it into something worth it. So that's the reason for a simple roll up white shirt with pocket (TOPMAN). Now, for the worth it part...for the foot wear, distressed combat boots (JEFFREY CAMBELL). I think they make good combat shoes. Then, for accessorizing: as you can see the burgundy bandana is folded in that way because that will be placed on your head particularly on your forehead (that's for the rugged look part). Next, you have to put eyeglasses to achieve the "Nerd" thingy. I chose a two of vintage clubmaster eyeglasses from RAY BAN. Just so you know guys, it's their 75th Birthday so let's greet them a "HAPPY AND BLESSED BRITHDAY RAY BAN!" Indeed, 75 years of good service. And 75 years of bringing out the best in you. So NEVER HIDE your real you. :D
Okay back to the topic, multi strand leather bracelet. You can get them from any accessory store but I suggest SM ACCESSORIES, they have a lot and good looking stuffs. But this next accessory is not from SM, instead from CRAVEMORE, it's remarkably right to include it to this outfit because it's really worth to put on. It's unique, hip and stylish. And lastly, because I love THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (A hit epic series) so much. I wanted the whole outfit to have any of those Salvatore Ring (I don't know where to buy one, been wanting this since I saw those rings). It's vintage. Everyone loves vintage!

So that's it. I think this is by far the most promotional-oriented blog post. Still, no worries, because combining them together looks really worth it. I hope you like it guys. Feel free to send me photos of yourself wearing this. Don't forget, you can improve this if you want.

I am PAULO and I am a FASHION NERD.

Caught in the Balance

It's been weeks of wearing smart casual for me since that's a must for conducting interviews for our thesis. And I'm getting the hang of it. By the way, that's not only the use of smart-casual looks, you can use them in other events as well.

So here's an idea for your smart casual get-up. Enjoy!

Button down Polo (H&M), Black Pants (Maldita Man), Feather necklace (CraveMore), Shoes (Converse)

MORE PHOTOS:

If you would be asking, yes that's my favorite necklace from CraveMore. And they have new collections that are must buy.

For Maldita Man, it's good local brand as well where you can find lots of smart casual clothes. Better check them out guys.

For Converse and H&M, it's already in the nature that they are one of the best brands. So there's no reason for you guys not to check them. 

I am Paulo and I'm caught in my own balance.
