Boy in the blue scarf.

1 comments

So today, the ever sacred last weekend before school starts, I went to an event in San Francisco called Pistahan with my sister and mom, and originally I was wearing a Zara sweater, burgundy scarf and jean jacket, and my sister was wearing this striped sweater and blue scarf. In the middle of the event, my sister tells me she wants to wear the Zara sweater instead. Being the older brother, the "kuya" that I am, I look at her outfit and shrug, and we both run into a stairwell to switch outfits, which was both spontaneous and fun but at the same time kind of embarrassing because two guys came down the stairs and looked at us like we were crazy. We also chose the stairwell conveniently located next to a restaurant where people were eating outside. This was the result of my outfit change! So for all of you with siblings, you never know what your sibling has in their closet that could look good on you too! It never hurts to look! Although, get permission first. It irks me when my sister takes things without asking.

After the event, my family and I prayed at St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was across the street. It was a beautiful cathedral, I was going to take pictures...but well, it's a cathedral. After my Chaplet of Divine Mercy, we headed over to a sushi place on Mission that had amazing calamari tempura, then IKEA for new bedsheets (!), and then our local B&N for another Agatha Christie novel for my reading pleasure. 

Now, a few random pictures for your viewing pleasure:

I love worn-down boots. They tell the story of what you've done and where you've been, don't you think?

FASHION TO-DO: Beatle's Boots!

1 comments
Hello there readers!

Now, judge me if you will, but I am addicted to boots and will wear them during any season. And since it's summer, I have been on the lookout for super chic ankle boots, and I think I have finally found what I've been looking for!


For lack of a better term, these Beatle's boots were made iconic by (take a wild guess) the Beatles! (the photo above, however, are The Apple Pies, a Beatles tribute band. Just to avoid any confusion) My personal style is a fair mixture of my own personality, in which I embrace both my femininity and masculinity. These boots, in my opinion, help me to express exactly that. They make a very sleek men's dress shoe, a design that I think is totally Sunday church appropriate, but at the same time the pointed-toe somewhat resembles a woman's classic heel. Plus, they're boots!

Also, Beatle's boots look great in either black or brown. Once in my hands, one could find me pairing them with a pair of dark colored skinny jeans tucked right into the boot. As for me, I'm scrounging around my local thrift stores to find a vintage pair. Hopefully ones like these!


Did I mention that I'm a sucker for buckles? 

As a Beatle's fan, and a boot addict, I think it's safe to say that these boots are on my fashion to-do list, and they are definitely listed as a priority. 

So, what do you all think of these boots?
