Another cause for another day. I hope y’all have a glorious Sunday.

Freelance stylist-slash-photographer Eunice Alera recently told me of this wonderful project as part of an ongoing cause, supporting her friend who just underwent a heart surgery.

TO THE SAME BEAT was her and another friend’s brainchild — a small clothing collection composed of minimalist printed tops, each carrying a statement “The Beat Goes On”.

Surely, it may be easily mistaken as something to do with music. Yet, if we are on the same page, it rather depicts another meaning that has more depth.

It comes in tank top and unisex tees, and is available in black and white. Proceeds will all go to her friend to help.

Price:  each shirt is priced at  Php 550.00, whilst the tank top costs Php 350.00.

The Go Forth campaign, represented by four pioneering ambassadors, aims to create an impact on today’s generation — allowing them to show to the world what they can do in moulding the future with Levi’s as their trusted ally.

“Levi’s and the people who wear them now embody the energy and events of our times. And now, for the first time in the brand’s history, Levi’s is launching a truly global brand campaign that highlights youthful optimism and energy.” said Ronnie Celestial, Levi’s ASEAN Marketing Head.

Levi’s Fall-Holiday 2011 Collection

A fashion show featuring Levi’s Fall-Holiday 2011 Collection was also held. The collection focuses on craftsmanship and innovation in jeans with its new styles and trends. It utilises the breakthrough Levi’s Curve ID system that is based on the woman’s shape instead of size, as well as Levi’s Waterless jeans that use 28% less water on the average and up to 96% less water in creating the wash or finish of the jeans.

Here are some of the pics from the show: (Warning: picture heavy) (more…)

Here’s one of the main reasons why I was missing in action a week ago. My beki (gay) girlfriends and I went out of town for a 2-day nature trip.

It was my first time in Bohol, and I was very excited to finally wear my halter keyhole dress for the first time as well. I bought it almost a year ago, and haven’t worn or sought ever since. It could have collected cobwebs for all I know. Ha-ha!

Goofing around with my friend I at Dauis Church

Wearing this frock was kinda hard for me, since it’s a keyhole dress. I’m not pretty comfortable donning it with just pasties on! Hahaha! Hence, I resolved to wearing a skin tone brassiere underneath. I know it’s a tad tacky, but way better than wearing a multicoloured or dark tinged one.
