Club Filipina May Issue 2013

Posted on May 21, 2013 by gervinmacey

Two in a row??? I never thought I would be working for Club Filipina for two consecutive issues but here I am, begging you guys to get a copy of the magazine’s Gold issue if ever you are in Japan (even if it’s a bit late already). After my sudden styling gig for last month’s cover and centerfold, I made a review article about the Julia Phone Pochette by Tuneswear for the May issue. Club Filipina is available for FREE in selected Filipino stores and restaurants all over Japan. If you are somewhere else in the world, you can click HERE to go to their virtual copy via Isuu. Thanks again to Lenard for entrusting me this!

Though I’ve been blogging for some time, there is a different kind of joy when you see your words in print. It feels like they’ve been immortalized.

Every Girl Wants To Be Camille Co

Posted on May 20, 2013 by gervinmacey

Yesterday was quite a surprise. The only plan was to go around shopping with my friend Mark around Shibuya and Harajuku when I bumped into Camille Co, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated fashion bloggers. I came up to her while she was with her mom and sis and it was so nice of her to spend some time to take this photo with me. I’ve been following Camille for some time now, tweeting and putting comments in her blog, and I was so touched when I introduced myself to her and recognized my name. Whether they admit it or not, a lot of Filipino girls, specifically the bloggers, want to be like Camille. She’s pretty, tall and has achieved massive success through her blog. But what they should really learn from her is humility and friendliness that exuded from her when we met. Plus, remembering people’s names will surely take you a looooooooong way.

It was nice meeting you, Camille.

Bad Ass Cotton Candy

Posted on May 11, 2013 by gervinmacey

I promise I don’t have a thing for graffitis right now. It was just coincidence that my mom thought my last outfit post would be perfectly shot with a graffiti background and Yusuke thought of the same thing when I had dinner with him the next day. I’m not complaining though as long as someone is willing to take my photos for my blog posts. LOL! I love the contrast of the background to my colors. Thus the contrasting title of this entry. Moreover I love my new platform shoes which I bought from a store in Harajuku during the Golden Week holidays. They remind of my 10-year old self, a time when I was a head-to-toe Spice Girl fanatic. They made me dream of wearing platform shoes someday and look!!! Here I am wearing my very own pair. They’re not only high but they also have spikes which makes me love them more. But the main reason why I bought them is to add more inches to my height which is one of my biggest insecurities in life. I wish I was taller because if I was, I’m pretty sure I’m working now with Gisele Bundchen, Lindsey Wixson, Joan Smalls, Daphne Groeneveld and Liu Wen.

The Power of Fashion

Posted on May 9, 2013 by gervinmacey

I really respect the fact that some people have their signature style. Minimalist, avant garde, preppy, whatever they call their thing. But as for me, if there is something that I love about fashion, it’s the fact that I can be whoever and whatever I wanna be through the clothes I wear. If you’ve been a constant reader of this blog, you will notice how my style changes from time to time. I dress according to what I wanna be or whatever I feel inside my gut. If I wanna look smart, I dress smart. If I wanna be a punk, I put edge in every piece of apparel on my body. Fashion is so powerful that it can change a person’s image, manifest the feelings of someone and be a source of empowerment to anybody. As for now, I’m feeling inspired by punk and Harajuku street style. Creativity and diversity overflow in the area and it is such a beautiful site to see whenever I go there.

Bloom

Wearing micro shorts reminds me a lot of good memories. I grew up wearing them because they’re the comfiest thing ever especially for the people of the tropical South East Asia. I played on the streets wearing them and didn’t care if people would tease me for looking so gay in them. Even when I was in college, I would only wear micro shorts whenever I had to go to school for theater rehearsals. So when I decided to put this cute dotted shorts on me, all of those special memories of childhood just came back in a flash. The heck with all the judgmental stares I got!!! Why would I resist something that will remind me of the best days of your life???

Tokyo Bumblebee

Posted on May 5, 2013 by gervinmacey

Give them black and one striking color and your job is done. I love how this look reminds me of bumblebees who don’t even fly at night in temperate zones. But since I’m feeling punk and rebellious these past few days, I’m gonna represent the law-breaking bees of the world. These photos which my sister took for me in the middle of the night are for you my buddiezzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! I don’t really know what I am saying right now but I know they have to be spoken (or written, in this case). But let me say this for my parting words. I know that Tokyo cap maybe a bit tourist-y for someone who has lived in this city for quite a long time but I know I had to have it in life. It’s not because it’s leather and yellow but because it’s a symbol of my appreciation to this city that provided me the best of everything for the past six years. Thank you! 東京最高！！！！！
