Umm.. Hi. I’m Ethan. I’m not an expert in the field of men’s fashion but Valerie has asked me to guest write today for some mysterious reason. She could have found someone else. Apparently it’s Sneaker Sunday or something? I cant remember what the name is cause she interrupted me in the midst of playing my PS3, but it’s got something to do with sneakers I think.

The reason I’m writing here today is because Val’s busy at the moment with packing for her trip to New York this Friday. She’s also trying to catch her runny nose. She’s almost used up a whole roll of toilet roll and she still hasnt managed to catch it yet. I told her to get a lasso cause toilet roll just breaks, but she wouldnt listen. What is it with women and listening? I dont get it.

Anyway, despite catching the common cold, she still managed to force me in front of the camera to show you what we dudes wear.

When she asked me, “What do boys wear?” I stared at her and thought she was crazy. I mean, what else do us guys wear except for clothes? We dont wear leaves or trucks or tanks or gadgets. It wasnt till she explained that she liked boys who wore sneakers that she made sense.

Sneakers. Now that I can do. I personally like sneakers because well, they’re comfy. And good.

What? She just yelled in my ear asking me to explain what I mean by “comfy”. They’re comfortable that’s what I mean.

No? Umm.. Well, comfortable means, nice. And good to wear. What do I wear my sneakers with? Umm… My hands? Oh. You mean an outfit? I have to talk about my CLOTHES now? Uhhh.. Okay. I usually wear my sneakers with jeans, a shirt and/or tee inside. For this photo, the jeans are Levi’s Engineered Jeans, white shirt from FOS in Kuala Lumpur and cotton v-neck tee from Cotton On. Oh. I almost the forgot. The sneakers. They were a gift from a friend who bought them in Korea. They were white, but got my friends to step on them to “break” into them. They are now a shade of…… dirty white. Why are you looking at me like that? Didnt you ever do that to your white school shoes previously?

Well, I think that’s it from me for Sneaker Sunday. I’m exhausted. That was quite a whole load of words for me to say. I hope you got a little insight into what guys wear with sneakers. How’s my first ever Sneaker Sunday post? I have a feeling she wont be getting me to guest post for her again. Maybe my friend Vic might do better on his friend’s blog. Now, where’s my PS3 controller.

When you have a food blogger amidst your group of friends, you just tend to go on far too many food adventures. *looks sadly at the ever expanding waist line*

So to conceal whatever love handles, you dress in your most comfy outfits. That being said, you also want to remember to always get into a pair of comfy sneakers. Crossing the country in searching of your favourite grub is no mean feat, and subjecting your soles to stifling conditions will leave you with some unhappy feet. To please both your stomach AND keep your feet happy, sneakers are the best way to go!

Hooray for looking cute without crippling foot pain!

I recently re-discovered this pair of R20 sneakers *cough* under my bed. I bought them almost 2 years ago in Kuala Lumpur in a sneaker store in Sungei Wang and then they somehow mysteriously disappeared.

I had always wondered where they were. Could have sworn I bought them. Because I couldn’t find them, I honestly at times doubted whether I even HAD them. Lol. Maybe it was all part of my imagination. I could POSSIBLY have dreamed I bought them. I wanted them so bad that I thought I bought them. It wasn’t till Sneaker Sunday conceptualised that I asked my mum if she’d seen that pair of sneakers. Lo and behold, with some le3t investigative skills, she found them in their original box. I swear, my mum is the best at searching for my missing stuff.

I love how the sneakers are white with hints of gold trimming and lovely prints on the side. They’re cute yet spunky. On my food adventure, I wear these R20 sneakers with a cute denim flared skirt from B.U.M Equipment and white long sleeved cotton tank top from Victoria’s Secret. These are my favourite pair of sneakers currently because of the cushy interior that makes my feet feel like it’s walking on air. Teehee. I always always tuck my laces in when it comes to sneakers to save me the hassle of tying my laces everytime. Yes, I am lazy.

But you shouldn’t be because you need to go check out Violet’s cute retro inspired outfit NOW, or I will zap you with the back of my shiny Blackberry! Sneaker Sunday has made it through an entire month! Hooray! But we’re still taking entries for the Gallery. ;)

I’m no fashion blogger, but if my memory serves me well, a whole host of fashion shows are coming up. I am thus assuming fashion week is around the corner here in Singapore (correct me fashion bloggers if I am wrong). The shows by various companies have already started happening and I was lucky enough to be invited to attend some of these prestigious invite-only shows. The one by Bimba & Lola at ION Orchard was the most recent on my plate.

My companions for the night were the lovely Raine, Elise and a not-so-mysterious photographer responsible for these brilliant shots.

I didn’t have to lust over the lovely clothes showcased that much because I personally got to select and keep an outfit from the kind folks of Bimba & Lola. The off-white jacket with gold metal details was the first thing I picked out when I walked into the shop.

As I always say, it had my name all over it. Once I set my eyes on it, I knew I HAD to make it mine. Truly, this is what they call love at first sight. Sometimes, you don’t need to find an outfit, it just finds you. We were meant to be.

HELLO THERE! COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!

I’m writing this post from my girl Sandra’s laptop because I love you all so much and know you love reading about Sneaker Sunday as much as I love writing about it. I had to do this post here this week because I got my very awesome pair of Ed Hardy pink high cut ones right here in the Philippines. Thus, being back here this week, I just had to pay tribute to them in the “motherland” because those sneakers are teh winz! Unfortunately, I won’t be showcasing them this week. You’ll have to stayed tuned to see them in the new few posts. :D

This week, Violet and I have decided to give some coordination tips on how to wear your sneakers and your flats.

I decided to cover the sneaker side of things because I’m definitely more of a sneaker girl. As a testament to my love for sneakers, I actually have more sneakers than I do pretty pumps. Oh yes, I was such a tomboy (and actually still am). Haha. The current score stands 5 sneakers to 2 pumps. Kitten heels dont count as pumps right?

For this post, I will show you some of my favourite types of sneakers and suggest ideas on how to wear them other than only pairing it with your usual jeans.

This pair of ADIDAS HIGHRISE SNEAKERS for their new Spring 2010 collection practically has my name on it. I LOVE HIGH CUT SNEAKERS! Don’t you agree they look so comfy? If I had them, I’d wear them with short shorts, a baggy off-shoulder top and layer lotsa chains over it. Definitely aiming for more of a street style with this pair of shoes. I wanna look like I could kick someone’s butt in these shoes. Hahaha.

Now this pair of BAPE GINGHAM HIGHCUT would look totally cute with either a preppy dress or pleated skirt and sweater combination. The print itself is so adorable. Think Gossip Girl: white shirt, loosely undone necktie, pleated skirt and hairband if you wish, with the above. It’s preppy with an attitude. Tres tres chic.

How cute are these SKECHERS WOMEN’S ZEPHYR shoes. I’ve got a pair similar to these from some random shoe shop in KL a while ago and I love how cute they are. They remind me a little of skater shoes and because the front is round, it always makes your feet look cute. Hee hee. I wear them with a flared denim skirt and fitted top with long billowing sleeves. I like how this pair of shoes have a little bit of feminine elegance in them yet are still spunky.

There you go boys and girls, 3 different types of sneakers I would love to own and some ideas on how you can wear them. But I’ve only covered the sneaker side of it. Violet has some ideas in her post on how you can match cute flats for all sorts of occasions, so make sure you also check that out.

Sneaker Sunday last week was very well-received and I have to thank you guys for your awesome support! If you haven’t caught onto the hype, have a look see at last week’s post to see what all the fuss is about. But don’t just sit behind your screen and look. Send me your photos! We want to see more of them in the Gallery! :D

If you have been following me on Twitter, I have been going on and on about my sneakers Sunday after Sunday. After a brilliant stroke of creativity, I have unofficially dubbed Sundays Sneaker Sundays. What exactly is Sneaker Sunday? It means that sneakers are a MUST wear of my outfit that very day. We wear pretty and possibly crippling shoes most days of the week, so what better day to give your feet an off day than on Sunday!

Look cute without crippling foot pain!

Sneakers are to me what pancakes are to breakfast. I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT SNEAKERS (just like how I cannot live without pancakes too. Anyone know where you can get great pancakes?). Everyone has at least once tasted pancakes and I’m more than sure than everyone owns at least one pair of sneakers. They are comfy and a must have next to your killer pair of heels.

As for me, I’ve lived in sneakers most of my life especially back when I was dancing in University. We’d wear high cut sneakers, regular sneakers, skater shoes, Adidas sneakers or even sneaker boots. Flats were a must because dancing hip-hop in heels was best left to the celebrities. If I could nickname myself, I would most likely name myself Sneaker Girl because I’d pay for an awesome pair of sneakers in a heartbeat. If I could, I would also live in sneakers and jeans because I swear they are the ultimate comfort combination. Sneakers, skinny jeans and a fitted tank top, simple yet stylish. Just like how I’ve worn them here.

Sneaker US Master Shoes

These are my U.S Master sneakers in a dark blue/black. I can’t remember when I got them since they’ve been around for quite a while. I don’t think I’ve ever worn them to dance (or have I?). But I really like to wear them with denim jeans and skirts because they look totally preppy and are so lightweight. I cheat and never undo the laces, EVER. I always slip my foot into the shoe without untying the laces. What I also like about this pair is the thin soles. They are flexible and thus, make walking or running easy.

Because sneakers are the BEST THINGS ON EARTH, Violet LeBeaux and I have decided to pay tribute to our awesome sneaker collection. What we’ll do is post a Sneaker Sunday article on of course, Sunday! This is where we post a snapshot of our shoes (bottoms optional) or anything related to sneakers and/or flats. The best part is, we want you to join in too! I’m sure everyone owns at least ONE pair of sneakers.

What we’ll do is we’ll post a picture of our sneakers and tweet about it on our respective accounts with the hashtag #sneakersunday. This is to make searching for tweets related to Sneaker Sunday easy. You too can tweet and do the same if you have a Twitter account. To link all Sneaker Sunday posts together, we’ll post your shot on our Gallery because we want to make a collection of all the awesome sneakers that people own! Alternatively, you can send me your photos (daydweam@gmail.com) and we’ll post it on our Gallery with your blog link on it.

Get how Sneaker Sunday is run? If you’re still not sure, VioletLeBeaux shows you how it’s done on her blog, after which it’s your turn to SHOW ME YOUR SNEAKERS! ;)
