well i have to admit, i'm quiet picky with men especially on their style.
maybe its not picky - some call it unrealistic views.
whatever it is, i thought it would be a great idea to give pointers.
maybe then---- dudes will start to flock my way. HAHA
my dad gives me lots of advices - i hear some & others i seem to not hear well.
1 advice I always remember though: "You can always tell what kind of a man you are staring at with his SHOES"
ok well he doesn't exactly say it like that but translating tagalog [filipino language] directly wouldn't make sense.
my dad also has more shoes than i do.
he also has this vintage cleaning box with brushes and shiner.
serious stuff.
Few of his boxes.
My dad loves Ferragamo.
Who wouldn't? The man makes classics.
Vintage cleaning box.
Have to ask him where he got it.
I'm not sure why but I always come across men's style and I get so fascinated [almost jealous] of some of the stuff!
I mean women have SO MUCH stuff on style but after awhile I get bored.
I think its fascinating to have an image of what you want in person. Honestly, how would you know what you want otherwise?
theshoebuff was kind enough to lay down the essentials.
i'm not an expert on men's wear but i know what i like.

*i love the saddle shoes. not feelin the other pics pictured.
I absolutely love GQ. more times than acknowledged - more than Vogue or Cosmo.
when i could afford it, i'm subscribing to it and i don't subscribe to magazines.
but since its the recession, i just stalk the website and go to barnes&noble to inhale all the info.
december issue had a great piece on boots.
undeniably love every single boot featured.
if i find a woman's version of each- i'm saving up!

*the Bed Stu and Artful Dodger are my favorites.
Seriously guys: LOOK DOWN before you step out of your door.
[your zipper might be open! HAHA]
In seriousness, shoes do matter.
How else would you go from point A to point B?
my 5 BANGin' tips:
1. Stop it with the running shoes and jeans!
[gym wear = gym shorts and running shoes]
2. Invest on really classy dress shoes.
[a suit does not go well with timberlands
or running shoes or your 8th grade dress shoes!]
3. Select a style that go with your style.
[don't be something your not]
4. Be comfy.
[don't walk around like you're in stilettos LOL]
5. Research. Check out stores before picking.
[hellooo SALES! and CLASSICS never get old- hence the title!]
