GET THE HALLOWEEN LOOK // MANOLO, THE BOOK OF LIFE

Right after last year's (2013) Halloween, Ive been keeping an eye on what my Halloween costume's gonna be this 2014. So when I saw the Animated movie trailer of THE BOOK of LIFE, I knew right away that it's gonna be my next Halloween costume. Ever since i saw that movie trailer, Ive been thinking at the back of my mind how am I gonna do it, coz the Manolo character there looks too boxy. To give you a better idea,... and in case you have seen the movie until now, here's Manolo, the inspiration of this Halloween costume.

So, up to the last minute I didnt know how to do it...whether I should use boxes and construct the upper body from that, which is gonna be time consuming, given the fact that 2 days after is Halloween already. So i opted to using real clothes, only problem is Manolo's outfit is too intricate, and sewing all those details will take me forever. hahaha. So being the boy scout that I am, I thought of using Gold Tape, hoping there are such available tapes out there. Luckily, DUCT TAPE, has been making a lot of different colors and designs lately, so I manage to find 2 rolls of Gold duct tape.

Check out the DYI costume I did using duct tape for the details, taped unto my normal Blazer, Vest, and pants.

I thrifted the Mariachi Hat at a local vintage shop here, so I decided to wear it with this costume too, since they go together well.

GET THE LOOK // BOAT CRUISE

Went on for about an hour boat cruise via Traditional 165 foot three masted Schooner Boat Cruise, The tall ship KAJAMA . Sailing along the Ontario lake, it is the best way to view the beautiful Toronto Skyline and the sunset view.

Since it's a boat cruise, I decided to wear something related to boats and water... I went for a nautical inspired look, casual yet smart and comfortable.

Here are some snaps of my outfit that day and some photos I took of the awesome view... Enjoy!

GET THE LOOK: AUTUMN EQUINOX

Fall has already started and  its getting chilly at times, but right now it's still manageable. So I decided to shoot this look already before the cold weather becomes unbearable, Otherwise I'll have to wait until next spring/summer to wear this outfit. :))

These 2 almost similar pieces were sold by Forever21 men and H&M. I got the shorts first when H&M sold it but haven't got i chance to wear it yet... until now. :)) They sold it with a matching top as well but I wasn't able to get hold of it. After a few months (this summer to be exact), I saw Forever21men, released almost the same Identical print and color that perfectly matches my shorts so I knew right away that I had to have it.

A matchy-matchy outfit is on trend right now so I thought was a good buy. Here's the look.
