Missoni x Havaianas

The world-renowned Italian fashion house known for it's use of eccentric textile patterns, Missoni, teamed up with Brazil's famous flip flops maker, Havaianas, to create pieces that are eye-catching, fresh, and fun. 

In Missoni's handbook, SUBTLETY IS BORING. These collaborative flip flops are even bolder than anything Havaianas has ever come out in the market with. Made from recycled materials, these flip flops are printed with Missoni signature prints that are sure to turn heads wherever you go. EXPECT THESE BABIES TO DROP SOON. :) xoxo

AT "LACOSTE" FOR WORDS

I'd be laughing like a chimpanzee if someone wouldn't get what the title of this blog really means! haha.. but anyway, I am AT LOST FOR WORDS whenever we go to malls and I see displays of shoes everywhere. I am such a freak when in comes to shoes. If i really want something, I'd go an extra mile, like not eating just to save money and buy that freakin' shoe OR I just simply phone my grandma to send me money. haha..

When buying shoes, I always go for the designs that would fade out in oblivion in just a matter of season. I go for the classics, well, most of the time. But that doesn't mean I don't buy shoes that are "IN" whatever season were at. CLASSIC LOOK, COMFORT, and DURABILITY is what I really consider and LACOSTE brings those to the table.

I was browsing through there website and found these great pairs that I might just buy. y'know, the internet does good to those shoppers who doesn't find it appealing to see people wearing the same shoes or the same outfit the you put on. 


So, here are some of what LACOSTE has for us this season...

LACOSTE MEN'S BRADFORD


What I love about this pair is how it managed to break away from the stereo-type design of deck shoes with it's removable kilty detail.

LACOSTE MEN'S THURMAN Mb


For a sleek look, I always go for something like this pair. With it's waxed leather and contrasting color combinations, this pair promises to turn heads anywhere you go.

LACOSTE MEN'S BROADWICK Hi R

On days that I have to walk for hours, like if we're abroad, I opt for a pair that is made from ballastic nylon. It provides comfort as it's material is soft and it lets air in, thus, making your feet not feeling all suffocated and dying.

LACOSTE MEN'S BRADFORD Mid


There's something about suede that makes users exude a sense of class and sophistication. And what really turns me on with this pair is, AGAIN, it's removable kilty detail.

LACOSTE MEN'S CRICHTON CB


For a modern and fun take on a casual shoes, you'll love this pair. One can never go wrong with a simple black pair of shoes. But whenever I buy one, if the one I fancy is in all black, I see to it that it has something that would catch attention. I always look at it's sole, if it's colored, just like this one, it's a good buy.

I'd wear all these pairs in a heartbeat. I mean, what's there not to love and rave about all these? :)

Comfort + Style = Hey Dude

Just recently Hey Dude opened it's first concept store in Davao at the 2nd level of Gaisano Mall of Davao.

Reminiscent of other outdoor shoes, Hey Dude promises Lightness, Comfort, and Style in every pair they come up with. Hey Dude combines the comfort a pair of slippers give and the dapper of a dress shoe. In other words, you get to taste the best of what both worlds can offer.

Most of HEY DUDE's patrons are the ones who are very fond of the outdoors, especially those who loves to frolic in the beach. But of course, true to their claim that they never fail to combine COMFORT and STYLE, they do come out with designs that can be worn when you go out and seek for adventure or you simply just want to strut your stylish self wherever.

Hey Dude utilizes the revolutionary Flex & Fold Technology. It combines ultra light outsole with ultra comfortable insole. This technology allows them to create shoes that are stylishly current and undeniably comfortable. Their shoes weighs only about a mere 6oz. - 7oz. WOW!!!! If that doesn't sound comfortable to you, yet, then it's best if you get yourself checked. haha

These are just some of their awesome pairs...

These are my personal favorite, because it doesn't appear to be too bulky and I can wear it with just about any outfit.

THEIR LEGEND-ary Collection

Vinci Oxford

I am passionately in love with their PASIONE collection.

Be sure to drop by their concept store located at the 2nd level of Gaisano Mall Of Davao and try on their wide array of shoe choices.

TIPS ON FINDING THE PERFECT SHOES

If you're like me, buying a pair of "to-die-for" shoes might be the best treat for your longing soul. But despite the fairytale-like excitement we get from buying one, everything can really turn into a total disaster.

So, as a SOLE SEARCHER, here are my tips when splurging for a fab pair.

BE OPEN-MINDED

When shopping, only have a general idea on what to buy or go on shopping for. When shopping for shoes, just think about BUYING THE PERFECT PAIR. Don't think to much about the design, or the color, or whatever comes to mind, because that you make it all a task and not a fun experience. You wouldn't enjoy trying on different shoe designs, because you've set your mind.

BE READY TO SPEND YOUR MONEY. . . . WISELY!

Your perfect pair won't always be affordable, but it also doesn't mean that it will always be hard to attain. Just because it has a label or it's a designer shoes, doesn't mean that it will feed your shoe-aholic soul. Try going to a mall's department store for a cheaper alternative, they offer shoes that are affordable yet fashionable. But as a lover of shoes, and if it's in your blood, you'll know and come in terms with the reality that GREAT SHOES equates to a more expensive price tag.

WOMEN (SOMETIMES) KNOWS BEST

Bring a female companion with you when shoe shopping. Girls who have great taste in fashion can also be a great judge when it comes to a guy's fashion problems.

SALE AWAY

Don't shy away from buying shoes on clearance. The only thing that these pairs are guilty of is being a season or two "out of style". But trust me, IF YOU'RE A GUY: nobody could really tell the difference between a Lacoste S/S 2010 shoes from a Lacoste S/S 2012 shoes, so long as they're clean and worn with the right clothes. But IF YOU'RE A GIRL, chances are, every fashionista can tell if it's "sooooo last season". Because Women's Fashion change so rapidly and drastically at that.

ALLOW IT TO BREATHE

Choose a pair that is so comfortable your feet can breathe. When a pair caught you eye, try it on and walk with it try look for another pair that you might like. This would test just how comfortable the shoes are.

GO ONLINE

Know what's IN and what's OUT by browsing online shoe shopping sites and blogs about fashion and shoes.

ALWAYS BUY AND NEVER REGRET THE PURCHASE

Right after making the purchase, NEVER tell yourself, "I never should have bought that... I should have looked for other options..." - - - NEVER!
