Bag Matching with Gucci

One of my favorite accessories is the BAG.Whether it is made of leather, suede, feather or even hair, the Bag is one of the basic necessities that any person should acquire. I would say that generally, men do not like to bring with them a bag wherever they go. A knapsack maybe. But for me, it houses  my beauty products, my maintenance kit, hat, umbrella, Ipod, Iphone, wallet and a purse. I change my bag almost everyday. But, I also have some faves. The bag is like my second home, I could not live without it. 

When browsing for Gucci, I found these leather-made bags that look like the pieces I have. I did not say I also have those, (though I wish I have) but these pieces are really attractive, formidable and would-kill-for.The iconic stripe of red and green defines Gucci label and of course, the leather material and design, which undoubtedly being imitated elsewhere, always set apart from its main competition like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.They may not have the same style but may have the same color or texture.Check them out now!

Tips in Fashion Styling

STYLING YOURSELF AND FINDING THE INNER FASHIONISTA IN YOU NEED NOT BE A FUSS. HERE ARE  TEN USEFUL STYLE TIPS FOR EVERYONE: 

1) EARRINGS - USE THEM SPARINGLY.. unless you don't want it to overshadow your outfit..Use studs and dangling alternately.

2. NECKLACE - If your outfit already has a statement stud, design, embroidery, accent, sequin, do not anymore put on a necklace because it will overrule the outfit. THE LESSER, THE BETTER.

3) SHOES  -  Match the color of your shoes with either your bag, pants or the entire outfit. Do not wear socks that are the same color of your shoes unless it is white or black. Be careful with colors, it can work or not work for you.

4) TIE - ties should only be worn with a long sleeve polo, not with a barong, a short sleeve, a polo or t-shirt. If your long sleeve has stripes or accent, avoid ties with prints or pattern. On the other hand, ties with pattern or print should be used with plain colored, monochromatic polo. A bow tie will work but do not wear them all the time.

5)  TOPS/BOTTOMS - the polo, shirt, blouse, whatever the design is should matched in color, style and design with the bottoms you are wearing. Colors should be limited to three. Four colors, and you will look like somebody selling ice cream. Combining tops and bottoms should be limited to three, IF it is a four -piece, make sure they are color coordinated. 

6)  COLOGNE- use perfume, cologne only when you have taken a bath. You do not want your odor mixed with that expensive eau de toilette, otherwise, people will run away from you, even the BEES....

7)  BRACELET - the less sounding it is, the better. Stick to two to three colors only. It should matched with the outfit. You can wear them as may as you like if you are wearing a plain tank top and some denim shorts...

8)  BAGS-  A small bag is for the party, a large one for travel, a medium for office. If you do not plan to carry any bag, and you end up shopping, avoid carrying plastic (BUT WE CANNOT AVOID THEM). Recyclable bags should be always at hand, whenever you go out. You might never know what you can buy when you drop by an urban bazaar. 

9)  SOCKS -- should not be multicolored. Avoid wearing them when you are with sandals, but please do wear one with leather and sneaker. Color should match either the pants and shoes. Avoid those striped, patterned socks. For guys, please have them long enough so that when you cross your legs, your skin will not show. For girls, shoe socks, or sandal protectors should not be seen.

10) UNDERWEAR -  When you are wearing a skimpy, see through slacks, a T-back may be useful (if you can carry them without hurting yourself) , so that your bikini line will not show. For boys, avoid wearing  underwear that catches the audience of your back, as it seems that everybody now a days wears similar branded stuff. Use fabric conditioner all the time to preserve the garter and texture of the underwear.

See-Through Bag

There is something about every bag that catches my attention. One bag in particular, because of aesthetically designed details and intricate colors, made me buy it at P 5,000.00. Another bag, because of its function that allows me to enclose every essential item I bring along when doing photoshoots and runway shows, cost nothing more than P 5,000.00 but only P 500.00, and you know what I am talking about, the bag that is specially distributed by no other than PX BOX, the one bag magnate that speaks of both function and style...

Today, I thought of matching this transparent doctor's messenger bag with an all-military trench coat over trousers with a green coated newspaper boy cap. To emphasize the bag, I usually wear something neutral so that the color of the outfit and the bag will not clash. The onlookers of this bag will take a peak at your belongings so make sure you only show what you intend to show. Don't worry, there are three specially crafted bags (like a kikay kit) where you can place your wallets, make-up, accessories, cellphones and other pertinent items.
