Started in year 2005, Francis Magalona Clothing Company was one of the first patriotic brands established here in the Philippines.

I got a chance to meet the owners of the brand, friends Carlo Maniquiz, Itoy Villajin, Willy Velasquez with the late Francis Magalona form as the founders of 3 Stars and a Sun.

According to Carlo, the idea of putting-up the brand came up with the suggestion of Francis Magalona, who in that time was wearing a foreign brand, to why not create a local brand instead of supporting foreign company. It was just timely that on the same year, Francis Magalona was already pushing for the “makabayan” campaign thru his music.

Something’s afoot with Converse.

The brand that lets you live out loud recently opened a stand-alone store at Ayala Terraces in Fairview, the newest commercial development of Ayala Group of Companies north of Metro Manila. Just like in its other stores located in the key parts of the country, the Ayala Terraces branch offers the complete collection, along with Converse apparel and accessories within a visually-arresting retail environment.

The formula sometimes I follow in capturing photos for my outfit post. I know the wall isn’t that special but doing so would make an outfit stand out.

Currently collecting more Button-Down shirts recently, been looking forward of doing more layering soon. And being a thrifty kiddo, I discovered the perfect places to visit if ever I decided to buy a new one, which are Greenhills & Tutuban Town Center. There’s a lot of choices you can find here and up to date fashionable items too, you can also haggle down prices and would be an advantage if you were good at it. Thou sometimes layering could be a pain especially in the kind of weather we are having here in the Philippines. That is why picking the right shirt should always be kept in mind. Will do a separate post on how to pick one properly soon.

I think camo style would be staying for a long time. With the divergent collections in the fashion industry and as well as in different shops coming up with different designs, the wide range of choices are perfect for fashionistas and stylish individuals. One more thing is the versatility of the camo colors that it could be a basic or could I say universally can be worn by a lot of individual.

Time fly so fast and summer is already here! Thou I know, with our very erratic weather condition one should always prepare something to wear if ever there would be sudden changes in the weather.

I had a chance to visit Morong, Bataan once again and enjoyed an early summer swim at Morong Star Beach Resort. I actually wore this outfit going back home
