WATCH: Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2014 Menswear Collection

A collection of smartly designed and fashion-forward pieces that infallibly impress by Louis Vuitton's Creative Director Marc Jacobs along with Kim Jones, lead menswear designer.

Conveyed by the initial air of leisure but with a look of innocence on checkered shorts, plaid pantsuits, handkerchief neckties, and varsity jackets that later transformed into sophisticated red, alligator leather jacket, blue and black tie-dyed jumper, a charming faint-pink three-piece suit, complete with a dandy purple bow, and a handsome set of tuxedos, not to mention the bags that are to-die-for —each one more dashing than the last.

WATCH and spot these eye-catching pieces of the collection.

Shoe Some Love with Project Shoebox at Eastwood Mall

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And I can't help but wonder exactly how many words can you think of these photos...

The month of June has started where millions of kids in the Philippines go back for a new school year. But for others kids, going to school can be another year of long walks on their bare feet. If you want to be part of a change we've always wish to see in own country, let's start by helping these kids. 

Project Shoebox is a program created by Eastwood Mall where shoppers can sponsor or donate school shoes so more kids can walk to school in comfort.

It offers guests two ways to help kids with no school shoes:

• You can either sponsor new shoes for only P250 
• or donate your previously loved (but still in good condition) shoes by dropping it off at the Giant Shoebox located at the 2nd Floor, Eastwood Mall Veranda until June 30. 

“This June, so many kids are excited to go back to school, with their new books and school supplies. But there are also children who don’t even have the basics, like school shoes. So they walk to school on their bare feet because their education is so important to them. Project Shoebox was launched for these kids – we want to make going to school easier for them even with just the simple gift of a pair of shoes,” said Kevin Tan, First Vice President and Commercial Division Head of Megaworld Corporation. 

All contributions made to Project Shoebox will be given to the kids of Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines Inc. (OB) through Megaworld Foundation.

Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, Inc. (OB) works to fight hunger, disease, unemployment, illiteracy, and abuse —one family, one community at a time. Through medical intervention and disaster relief, provision of education, coaching for the development of life skills and micro-enterprise activities, and addressing basic health and nutrition needs, OB exemplifies Christian compassion and benevolence.

OB’s children’s programs include Bless-A-Child, where they address the health needs of malnourished children by providing nutritionally balanced meals, health-care visits and free education, Happy Kids Camps, conducted with the help of local churches and Back-to-School, where they offer educational sponsorships to impoverished children in the form of school fees, supplies and uniforms, and more.

“We’d like to invite everyone to shoe some love! We encourage you to sponsor a pair of shoes or donate your previously loved but still good ones to Project Shoebox. Let’s all work together to send kids to school in shoes,” Tan said.

WATCH: PRADA SPRING/SUMMER 2014 MENSWEAR

If you didn't get to watch the PRADA Spring/Summer 2014 Menswear show last night, well worry not! :) And because the live-streaming codes no longer work, I've had to look for alternatives. We all know nobody loves a blogger who's not good in researching, yes? HAHA So here we go. 

Below is a SHOWstudio—an award-winning fashion website—panel discussion + the runway show on Prada Menswear S/S 2014 live show happened June 23, 2013 at 17:00 BST with Mandi Lennard (a fashion PR and the founder of eponymous PR company Mandi Lennard Publicity), fashion consultant Jack Tobin, Hilary Alexander (a British journalist and the Fashion Director of The Daily Telegraph), Jack Borkett (fashion editor and stylist), and Vogue.com's fashion features editor Jess Bumpus. 

But of course, if you'd like to make use of your time and just want to proceed to the runway show, it starts at exactly after 27 minutes of the video. :)

White Party Manila 2013 on June 29

A famed literary Stephanie Perkins once said, “The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.” To be fully accepted by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow, acceptance has to start within. But the question is, will it be worth it? Read: Out and Proud.

There is a number of white parties held annually, catering to the LGBT community—from New York City, Chicago, (Illinois), Miami and Fort Lauderdale (Florida), Palm Springs and Los Feliz (California) and Montreal, although these events are independent of each other—with it's name comes from the requirement that party-goers dress in all or almost all white, whether you're a saint or a sinner.

Coke Mismo 300mL: Happiness On The Go!

Question: What comes to mind whenever you see, hear or think about Coke? 
Well, I can think of four. :)

Lechon. And must be the best one, of course! (Read: not makunat)

Shamrock's Otap (puff pastry).

We would get a box full of it twice a year every time my uncle comes to visit us from Cebu. And it goes well with Coke for merienda.

Christmas.

Only because this is the season when (almost) everyone, my mum included, are insanely hoarding boxes and bottles of Coke until New Year's Eve.

And lastly, Cecile.

Cecile Zamora van Straten is the blogger behind Chuvaness.com ―who blogs about almost everything juicy, interesting and beautiful, always wear her hearts on her sleeve, really nice to people who are also nice, loves wearing black, and (like me) also a sucker for Coke! :)

Coke on shabu-shabu in Ginza.

Japanese Coke.

.Her version of Coke in a bowl of ice! :)

And to quote her as a Coke expert, "Coke is the first thing to go because it makes everything taste so good."

Last week, everything on both Twitter and Instagram was all about the #ItoNa #GleeForCoke hashtags. And netizens, even on Facebook was buzzin' about what the red mystery crates in Glorietta, Ayala Market! Market! and Trinoma malls were all about. 

To bring more happiness to Pinoys, the red mysterious crates were simultaneously revealed last Saturday, June 8, 2013 on three Ayala Malls as Coco-Cola launched the Ito Na! Coke Mismo 300mL bottle for only P10 with four of today's global youth icons from the musical TV series Glee: Jacob Artist, Melissa Benoist, Dean Geyer and Becca Tobin.   

And to double the fun, the Coca-Cola Happiness Ambassadors' Enchong Dee, Julia Montes, Joseph Marco, and Kathryn Bernardo were there too!

 Iya Villania was hosting.

A few minutes before the red crates will be revealed, while Glee stars and brand ambassadors with Iya Villania walked to the red crates, the crowd went crazy and ran towards it.

That being said, this was my view.

Definitely not a good idea to mix media/press with the fans. 0_0
But I thought, I can't leave without better photos.
So I did the ninja moves, stood on a chair and took these. Ha! :)

Still, please excuse that huge camera right there... and a few hands.

Spotted! Brent Javier. 

Jujiin Samonte and Paulo Castro both wearing COMME des GARÇONS. Paulo is very chummy. He had me at "Gusto nyo ng cotton candy?" Haha! :)

Arran "Caloy" Sese, Coca-Cola PH's President for Happiness.

The Coca-Cola Mismo 300 mL available for only P10 allows more Filipinos to enjoy delicious taste and unique refreshment in a 300ml PET bottle that is easy to carry anywhere. For young troopers who are always on the go, say bulky bottles or even plastic bags from sari-sari stores no more, Coca-Cola Mismo provides instant access and portability to that ice-cold bottle of happiness.

The new Coca-Cola Mismo 300mL bottle is now available in sari-sari stores. Sarap to carry!
