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!

High-Fashion Sportswear: Athletenique by Rajo Laurel S/S 2012

When we talk about sportswear, the brands that first come to mind are of course, NIKE and ADIDAS. Well, it's about time we put that kind of mindset all in the past. Because sportswear isn't just about a sweaty pair of jockeys and smelly gym shorts anymore. And Rajo Laurel proves just that!


Rajo Laurel's newest collection for his namesake label, House Of Laurel, offers athletic inspired pieces which promises buyers no movement restrictions and look their best while running errands. Named, "Athletenique S/S 2011", the collection fused the elegance of high fashion and the comfort of active-wear.


First up, Rajo Laurel's ATHELETENIQUE S/S 2012 for RAJO!

I love how one can move freely while looking great wearing this pair. This is by far, the most beautiful active-wear I have ever laid my eyes on.

Picture Blair Waldorf running errands and in a hurry! She'll probably be looking like this.

Look good in the middle of a rush hour with these pieces. Rush to your meetings looking fierce as ever.

These pieces can actually be good fit in an episode of Gossip Girl. 

It's a long way to the top. Look good climbing the professional ladder wearing these pieces. They are to-WORK-for!

The second dress reminded me of Ms. Anne Curtis and Ms. Divine Lee in a closely similar dress, still by Rajo.

Let me just say this before i proceed, I have never seen a collection that excited me as much as this one did!

Miadore accessories we're perfect addition to every outfit. It made the clothes even more attractive and vibrant.





ATHLETENIQUE S/S 2012 NINE by Rajo

What I loved about this collection is the brilliant way of showcasing femininity without veering away from the active-wear feel to it. The choice of patterns and fabrics were to be given props.

It's easy to say that this collection aims to provide working women the comfort they need without looking too casual.

ATHLETENIQUE S/S 2012 RAJOMAN

I love how tailored the shorts look, but at the same time, it looks comfortable and the fabric looks soft.

I love the male model's blazer. The subtlety and the warm of dark blue combined with the vivacious energy of yellow is a match made in heaven. The blazer is simply my favorite piece in this collection.

I love these jackets! Casual with a little dose of high fashion.

Chuck Bass would be proud. 

This collection, to me, focuses on comfortable pieces to wear in your workplace or practically just about anywhere. Kudos to Mr. Rajo Laurel for the brilliant choice of fabrics to work with and the fusion of fashion and comfort.
