Black magic

I think I may need help from the occult arts to get over this one: my article deadlines come crashing (come to think of it, I haven't posted an article for quite some time now) and here I am still pondering whether I may still have time to finish my long overdue Thom Browne post. (Am already half done.)

Very soon, and shortly! Will need to hem and put a cuff to my habits of procrastination. In the the meantime, here's what I wore today.

No sweating sporty preppy

The weather today was just terrible. The heat is back in full force. In Manila, this means summer has just arrived.

Shirt, Izzue; sweatpants, Adidas; trainers, Helmut Lang; silk tie, thrifted; stainless steel watch, Tissot; tote, thrifted

A closer look at the HL trainers.



I love the animal skin or fish scale feel of the paper-thin pieces of leather.



If I wanted to wear a t-shirt with the sweatpants, these thrifted Camper shoes might be easier to match with.

No martial arts skills though to come with them.

So after buying boots for Halloween, I stumble upon this crazy pair. Elf shoes for Christmas?



The shoes are narrow, the leather soft, and the fit snug like slippers.



Another happy camper served.
