Mind you that the cartoon prints are from Larry Alcala, a renowned Filipino Cartoonist. At first, it might seem bizarre to see comic sketches on shirts, shorts, vests and even long-sleeves but if you come to think of it – isn’t it cool to wear one of these? After all, fashion is just a freedom of expression. The prints actually make you feel and look younger too.

Now, here are more fresh photos of Solo’s men’s cartoonist collection. Click on the images to zoom.

I somehow believe that these cartoon prints might be the next “in” thing to hit Philippine men’s clothing. In line with this hot collection, Solo even informed me that they are currently conducting an online model search. So if you have that model in you, you can easily join the contest by logging on to their online model search website here to find out the details.

Elegance, indeed. You see, I recently learned that the folks from Sebago are launching limited editions of shoes quarterly. And when they say “limited”, they really mean it. As a matter of fact, only 24 pairs of these shoes exist per store across the 3 dashing styles. Click on each photo below to zoom.

So what’s the big deal with limited edition, you ask. It is the fact that you will rarely see another person wearing exactly the same pair of shoes. And if you are a trendsetter and a style-hunter, grabbing limited edition products should be your mission.

The big question is how much is a pair? Well, they are not cheap. This elite shoe costs Php 7,990 and are available only while stocks last at Sebago SM Mall of Asia and Hideout at Greenbelt 5.

Just an added FYI. This new limited collection from Sebago are actually modern boat shoes – shoes that are typically worn by sailors which can repel water. But through the years, it has become a fashionable footwear for men. It became a trend years back and we are seeing its return once again. I’d be excited to wear a shoe like this at the office, casual occasions and even on dates.

The clog with holes from Crocs is what made them famous. It has been there for quite sometime and it has become something like a “trademark” to them. I must admit that they look good and unique but as time passes by, I noticed that some people have outgrown that clog design which nowadays looks better on kids than on most adults.

But the good news is that for stylish people like most of us, Crocs has released a new collection of comfortable footwear called the ABF (Almost Barefoot) collection. I was fortunate enough to be invited by Crocs to be one of the guests at the ABF launching event which was held last week at Enchanted Kingdom Biki Water World. I will talk more about the event later, but for now, take a peek at the photo gallery below for the latest from Crocs. You might want to get yourself a pair!

SS10 Men’s Collection

My personal favorites would be the black one from Almost Barefoot (Men’s) and the black/yellow flip-flop just right above this text from the SS10 collection. They are the BESTEST!

And about the launching event? Well it was a blast! I went there with a very good friend of mine and we had a great time. There was a Crocs fashion show, an exhibit of the latest ABF footwear collection, a raffle, buffet, photo booth, games and free access to EK Biki Water World facilities. Oh did I mention that the Velasco Brothers, a finalist from Pilipinas Got Talent, was also at the Crocs event? Yeah, you read that right! They performed their acrobatic dance moves right in front of us and it was superb. Everyone’s jaw dropped during their performance and we found ourselves clapping to a standing ovation in pure awe! If you are still clueless of what I’m talking about, watch their video here.

And about the photo booth, this is what you call vain moments. But I just had to crop my friend off for her own privacy.

Lacoste Essential Sport is a variant of Lacoste Essential which I also mentioned in PGG’s Four Picks on Men’s Scents back in 2009. I now have both fragrances and they both smell great. I initially thought that the two variants would smell almost the same but I was wrong. They smell differently. I realized that Lacoste Essential Sport has a stronger masculine scent than the original Lacoste Essential which has a “citrusy” smell. If you ask me which I like better, I won’t be able to decide because I love them both. But for now, I think I’m liking the “Sport” variant more due to the more manly scent that women like.

Lacoste Essential Sport was officially released last March 2010. According to the salesman of SM Department Store, this fragrance came out locally less than a month ago and SM was one of the first to carry the brand.

The perfume is available in 75 mL and 125 mL. I bought the bigger 125 mL because Lacoste is currently giving away a free messenger bag with every purchase of the big bottle.

Aside from the bag, I also received a free pocket-size perfume applicator which I can refill and take to a party so that it wouldn’t be such a hassle carrying the big bottle around. I guess I got myself a pretty good deal if you ask me.

One last thing. In case you are still wondering – yes, the smell of Lacoste Essential Sport is worth it!

By doing a bit of research, here are some of the most notable features I found regarding the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10:

• Powered by Google’s Android Platform and a 1GHz processor
• 4-inch touchscreen display
• 8.1 Megapixel Camera
• HSDPA/HSUPA (3.5G)
• GPS
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack
• Timescape & Mediascape UI – perfect for Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites addicts
• 1GB Internal Memory, upgradable by microSD memory card

However, as perfect as it may seem, there are just two potential drawbacks: no FM Radio and no video call camera in front! It may be a big deal for some (including me), but I think I can live with it if my phone is as powerful and as stylish as this one!

I hope to get this baby soon. I have already seen Sony Ericsson shops selling these for 32,700 Pesos and the lowest price I’ve canvassed around is 30,000 Pesos flat.

Their product launching was held in Trinoma and it featured bands, graffiti artists and so much more. I was there and I had a glimpse of the event as well as their product line.

Bands at the Cushe launch

Cushe’s product line includes outstanding shoes and sandals. Check out a few of them below:

Perhaps Cushe’s top of the line product which is currently available is their Manuka Fearless Sandals. They come in different colors. The one I have below is the Neon Carbon color variant which is a sure stand out. It feels comfortable to wear and it makes you feel like you’re feet is on a cradle. Just check out the design plus the molded outsoles on the edge.

And just in case you were wondering, the pair comes with a free hanger (the orange thing on the right). That hanger is actually a boomerang too. You can play with it when you are on the beach or resort with your family and friends this summer.

Check out more photos of their shoes and sandals below.Click the images to zoom.

This explains the reason why you have seen multiple maintenance mode splash screens over the weekend and less posts over the past few days.

PGG turned 3 years old last February 24 so I thought of changing the look of the entire blog. There are several improvements of this theme over the old one and you should be able to see it as you explore the new layout. It’s easy to get used to.

I hope that you like the new look as much as I did. It’s not yet 100% complete and I’m still fixing things up and tweaking some parts of the layout so if you notice anything unusual, broken or if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

By the way, I’m currently looking for write-up contributors so if you like to be one, contact me here.

I received word from their marketing arm that Skechers, Zoo York and Ecko Unltd is on sale. So if you happen to be somewhere near Ortigas (Tektite Bldg, PSE Tower), head on to their sale. They are slashing prices up to 70% off. See details below:

And once you’ve been there, comment below and let me know what you think of their sale. I hope to drop by there too if I find time.
