VOLUME III ISSUE IV: Let’s STALK a VARSITY..

“gone are the days when STALKING is TABOO..”

STALKING has been a usual part of anyone’s daily routine nowadays..

Like what I’ve said in the past—gone are the days when STALKING is TABOO..

Because of social media - checking out anyone through FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM and other social media sites makes it easier for us to get to know anyone..

Without them finding out.. haha!

People stalking their EX’s..

Checking out a new employee at work.. ehem!

Or finding the where abouts of your favorite celebrity..

Checking out the status of your CAMPUS crushes..

Or those VARSITY JOCKS..

today STALKING is already EASY..

Well we have great news because we won’t give you folks a hard time STALKING..
TODAY you folks will get to know our 21y.o coverboy ALGIN JUSTINIANI from TRINITY COLLEGE..

He plays as a POINT GUARD..

And shares that he started playing ball when he was 4y.o..

He grew up in a household where men play ball..

His father and uncle are his main coaches and taught him how to enjoy the said sport..

They used to wake up early in the morning to practice..

Then he started playing in a league when he was a junior..

And moved to the varsity team during his senior year in high school..

He continued playing ball in college and recalls that the first one was in STI The Fort..

He stayed playing in that school for 2 years until their team got disbanded..

then he figured that life must go on and he must not give up on his dreams of playing professionally..

so he transferred to ARELLANO UNIVERSITY where he became the part of their team B..

then after some time their coach left and so he had to move now into RIZAL TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY..

he is currently taking up MARKETING while balancing playing his favorite sport as a part of the varsity in TRINITY COLLEGE..

and so just like our previous coverboys we asked him a few some fun questions that might be on your mind as well..

What I WORE: The VARSITY.

Hey STALKERS! (I mean readers..haha)

I have received some questions over my instagram account and via email about last week’s post about BROGUES..

question was  “Could Brogues pair any outfit?”

 Yes! It could definitely pair a lot of your outfits..

When purchasing SHOES my mind set would always be “WOULD I NEED THIS?”

Or is this just CRAP..

Ensuring that it MATCHES my ITEMS is always a MUST..

because that’s how you BUILD your CLOSET.. (which is a quality of a smart shopper.. so I think I’m a little smart LOL!)

well I went to work last weekend in this look..

something that is inspired by HARVARD students during the 60’s..

So for this look you would need the following..

WHITE SHIRT (Hanes.. It is so comfy)

VARSITY JACKET w/ a pop of color GREEN (Bangkok)

FADED GREY PANTS (Human) they have affordable yet good fitting jeans..

Accessorize with these items..

BRAIDED BLACK BELT (SM Department Store) they have great accessories that is crazy affordable..

WATCH (Swiss Expedition)

CLUTCH (Terranova)

GREY SOCKS (Oxygen)

POLARIZED AVIATORS (Fly Eyewear)

and BROGUES shoe (Bench)

NOTE:

I did a little research and found out that “BROGUE” is any shoe with perforations in it (those holes that you see in this shoe.. that’s it) and on the other hand WINGTIPS are shoes with that “W” like design on the toe cap. So this shoe that I bought is what you call a “FULL BROGUE” which is a combination of both. (thanks to perfectgentleman.com for the answers!)  

Please dont mind my tummy.. It's in progress lol!

Alright so going back.. (It was stormy..so excuse my hair for being soo messy haha..)

BROGUES would work on any outfit as long as it’s in NEUTRAL COLOR..

Like WHITE..

BLACK..

GREY..

Or BROWN..

this look works (for me...) because of the COLORS and RIGHT FIT..

If you want the color to pop then get NEUTRAL COLORED piesces like grey, white and black..

Just remember that what’s important is to “BE YOURSELF” all the time when you dress up..

BE YOUR OWN BRAND!

So that’s it for “What I WORE”..

Hope you learned something this  week guys..

Have a GREAT WEEK ahead STALKERS!

What I WORE: “JERSEYS & BROGUES"

Gone are the days when JERSEYS are only worn inside the court when you play BALL..

I remember the days when I’m all sweaty wearing those JERSEY shirts back in high school..

Now JERSEYS are re-imaged into something that’s with a little more SWAG..

It’s COMFY but at the same time it’s LOW MAINTENANCE..   

WASH and WEAR..

No need to IRON..

Perfect for the WEEKEND GETAWAY..

WARNING:

Jersey’s wont absorb your SWEAT and since It’s quite HUMID here in the country then you might want to consider wearing an INSIDE SHIRT..

So for today’s look we need a  JERSEY shirt.. (TOPMAN)

I bought this from their CRAZY mid-year SALE about a month ago..

Then DENIM pants (HUMAN)..

Black LEATHER BROGUES (BENCH)..

I saw these from their instagram account and I knew from that point that I wanted them..

my brown brogues are getting a little old and worn so I knew that this purchase will do wonders for my closet..

you could use this pair for your FORMAL GET-UP in the OFFICE..

CASUAL LOOK in the CAMPUS..

and your STREET STYLE outfit on WEEKENDS..

Then ACCESSORIES (to add a touch of DETAILS..)

such as BAG (METRO)..

a BLACK CAP..

bold WRIST WATCH.. (JAPAN)

and PRINTED SOCKS.. (MEMO)

and as I always say I try to make everything MINIMAL by not putting TOO MUCH COLORS..

I just went around the palette of BLUE.. BLACK.. and WHITE.. 

So that’s it guys for this week’s “WHAT I WORE”..

If you have questions / suggestions you may email me at lrfaundo06@gmail.com

What I WORE: “Forever Summer”

When I was a kid I hated the beach..

Maybe it’s because of how I can’t enjoy the water since there are no slides..

Or its not that colorful..

And that I feel sticky right after.. haha!

but things have changed when we GROW UP. 

the SAND.. WAVES and the SUN creates that stress busting ambiance into each of our SUMMER vacation.

Anyway last week my cousin and I finally went to a beach and enjoy the amazing weather in the country. We we’re rooting for BORACAY however I felt like it was not feasible due to the lack of preparation. So the nearest most accessible place to go to is CANYON COVE.  

We’ve been there plenty of times..

The good thing with this place is that.. 

The beach is just a few steps away from the hotel..

The pool is big enough to accommodate everyone (so it isn't crowded)

though it's not that fancy like the infinity pool of AQUATICO and Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro (which is sadly exclusive for members only..)

CANYON COVE is just perfect for our little getaway.

So since the location is just really cool I made sure that I got my outfits ready for shooting. For this first look I’ve decided to be really casual and comfy at the same time. I chose this old SHORT SLEEVED PLAID paired with this fitted navy blue SHORTS both from (Folded&Hung). Then to add a little DAPPER feel I chose to wear this cool HAT (Bench) and this LEATHER SANDALS (Bangkok).

The key to this whole look is having the RIGHT FIT of clothes and choosing the right COLORS & PRINTS and lastly ACCESSORIES.

Have fun dressing up STALKERS!

STALKER’s SHOPPING GUIDE: “Flower Power” This SUMMER.

I’ve gone around some shops over the past weekend to check out some must have’s this coming SUMMER – I’m sure most of you guys are already planning for a summer getaway and I’m sure you guys would want to take photos of what you’re wearing that day. It’s OOTD time again!

So for my first stop. It's Forever 21 men.

I just love the fact that this shop is just affordable. I mean it’s not cheap but definitely the quality of the clothes is just great. 

They have cool printed tanks.. boat shoes and floral printed bags that are just DOPE!

Espadrilles are still very much SUMMER worthy!

Then I checked out ZARA. The good thing with this brand is that you can never go wrong with the quality and the textiles that they produce.The only thing is that the price can sometimes be too much. Anyways I found this adorable floral printed varsity jacket and i died.

Next stop is the U.K brand TOPMAN. There's no doubt that this brand is just trendy and dapper at the same time. The fit of clothes are just right for Asian guys like us. So I went around and checked out this floral printed baseball shirt and some really cool hats fit for summer.

Then I also checked out COTTON ON. This brand is just affordable and budget friendly. Perfect for STUDENTS who would want to dress their way up to SUCCESS. Anyways the sad news is that I only found these shorts cool and nothing else.(for men at least..)

There's this shop called H.E for MANGO that I checked out. They have more matured Items in their shops. The price is a little too much as well (if you are on a budget) but I could definitely tell that their goods are done with quality. So I checked them out and found this nice colored blazer which is perfect for school or for work.. or a picnic on a sunny day perhaps? and not to mention these adorable espadrilles. 

Then let's go local with a few of my favorites. First stop is OXYGEN. This brand just keeps pushing them selves to the edge with their high fashion ensembles and pieces. My favorite was this Aztec printed bag. It is just so cool. Definitely perfect for that beach outing plan of yours this SUMMER.

Next one is BENCH. I have to be honest (I love bench..) but their clothes do need a little tweaking here and there.. however the underwear designs of Bench in undeniably good and affordable. So I found some cool floral printed bags instead perfect for SUMMER classes!

 and I found some cool shoes too that you guys could use for school as well..It may not be beach friendly but i think it would look good on (bright colored) shorts too.

     

Then I visited PENSHOPPE as well. They normally would have good quality of long sleeved polos and jackets (that I would normally look for..) however sadly I only found some cute beach shorts that are affordable.

  
So this SUMMER just make sure that you guys find the right fit and a piece that fits your budget. Just buy something that is needed and necessary. Lastly just find the right amount of prints will you please? haha.. so that's it for now!

Enjoy SHOPPING Stalkers!
