Denim Shoes

Posted on the February 28th, 2010 under Fashion, Shoes by AJ of Baklaako.com

I have not bought shoes in a while.  Buying shoes has become less of a priority for me recently since I realized that I still have enough shoes that I can wear to work and to the occasional weekend night-outs.  Last Valentine’s Day, I had brunch with my fab hag Ish and I saw some pretty nice shoes over at Trilogy. The shoes were so nice, but I couldn’t afford them so I just shrugged the idea off my poor shoulder. After the yummoh brunch at Canteen, we headed to Greenbelt to do some window shopping. We both ended up buying stuff we didn’t really need.

I didn’t plan on buying anything for myself that day, but when I saw these denim-y shoes from Zara Man, I knew I’ve found my match!

Havaianas Bags: The New Fashion Must-Havs

Posted on the November 15th, 2009 under Bags, Fashion, Flip-Flops by AJ of Baklaako.com

Gone are the days when you only mean the rubber flip-flops whenever you say “Havs” because Havaianas has just unveiled their newest line: bags!  Genetics has gone beyond science and has found its way into fashion. Havaianas, the world’s best rubber flip-flops, now shares its DNA to the newest addition to their family.

With the same sense of functional style, these new fashion statements from Havaianas showcase the basic features that define the chic brand. Aside from using the same rainbow of colors as the flip-flops’ palette, the different bag styles are subtly ingrained with distinct Havaianas elements: the rice pattern on the soles and the Greek pattern on the straps are integrated into different details of all the bag styles. Reinforcing the bag’s durability are familiar rubber elements that provide sturdy yet stylish bases, straps and locks. The round rubber buttons used to keep the flip-flops’ soles and straps together can also be found detailing the bags, locking-in the Havaianas DNA.

I got the chance to see these bags on the racks and on the ramp at the recently-concluded

CONTEST: “Thank You!” – Now Let’s Spread the Sweetness

Posted on the September 11th, 2009 under Contests and Promos by AJ of Baklaako.com

It was my birthday yesterday, September 10th, and boy was it amazing.  I was so overwhelmed with the outpouring of greetings and well-wishes for me yesterday that even if my fingers already ached so badly, I still had to send sms and Facebook and Twitter and Plurk and IM responses to say, “Thank You” to everyone who greeted me.

I have lots of things to be thankful for, just like this country and our people. After weathering a lot of problems, this country has much to thank for. Despite all the crises and issues the nation has faced, the Filipino has risen above it all – revealing an indomitable spirit fueled by a cheerful, optimistic nature that is truly praiseworthy. And a popular international Swiss chocolate brand believes that this inherently Pinoy character is an amazing reason to celebrate.

In the previous National Thank You Day spearheaded by Toblerone, Filipinos proved to the world that the country is united in gratefulness – debunking the Reader’s Digest survey which claimed that the Philippines is one of the least courteous nations in the world. It proved that there is an abundance in the spirit of thankfulness in this country. And Toblerone wants this spirit of thankfulness to extend further to the whole country – with different cities joining in to show support for this noble cause.

This year, Toblerone launches the SPREAD THE SWEETNESS OF GRATITUDE PHOTO COMPETITION.

Here are the mechanics:

DURATION: SEPTEMBER 7, 2009 – OCTOBER 16, 2009, 5:00 PM
