Oh la la... Louis Vuitton Mens Fall-Winter 2011

Damier Infini

Straight from Fall/Winter 2011 Mens Louis Vuitton runway collection just shown at Paris, France. First for our drooling board is the much anticipated new Damier Infini collection, soft calf skin and emboss check pattern print. It comes in different iconic bag design of Louis Vuitton like the super cool Neo Greenwich, Porte Document Voyage and various new design. The bag looks heavy on its own, so if you want to own one just like this better exercise your biceps, so your arms wont get tired on carrying them. *LOL*

Leather Small Clutches and Waist Pouches

Next! Me like this! I think the beauty of this small clutches and waist pouches is in its size. Judging on it I think I can fit my two cellphones, small wallet, ID, small hand sanitizer and small perfume, best for the day you don't like to be bother on carrying so much thing on your shoulder or back.

Large Clutches or Portfolios

And if you are kind of Juan that can't leave his PSP or other small gadgets why not try this larger clutches or portfolios. I like the size of the portfolio but I rather have this as a sling bag. Unlike the small clutch that has a wrislet that you can hook your wrist in.

Both small clutches and large clutches adorned with oversized clasp most commonly seen on Louis Vuitton's iconic trunks latches and S-locks. This kind of accessories will definitely bring some boost on your over all look. Beside you can never be wrong when accessorized by Louis Vuitton. But seeing all of the new collection is in pure leather and its a runway collection expect each item cost about a car or a two years house rent. *hahaha*

Oops! Calvin Klein did it again...

Hello guy, I'm back! Don't you love the weather, cause I am! So pull out your winter clothes and lets get rock our very own version of tropical winter look! *LOL* Sorry guys I haven't done any blogging lately, I have been to OS Alexa rehab. I have been obsessing with Alexa for 3 days straight. I even went to Rustan's Mall at Makati to ask about that particular bag and I have learned that Mulberry Oversized Alexa cost around Php 79,000.00.

And moving on, I'm blogging about my first Calvin Klein Jeans purchased last December 2010. Are you ready?

Calvin Klein Jeans Medium Messenger bag

I love the size of the bag its roomy enough for all my stuff and the bag itself is very light weight. I pack almost everything in this bag (laptop, small umbrella, wallets, two cellphones, book, clothes etc), still it doesn't look droopy or saggy at the bottom. It has a hidden magnet lock to make the bag look sleeker. Calvin Klein Jeans never fail to impress with its design and functionality of the bag. A two thumbs up for my taste.

I'm in love with Alexa

I'm utterly undeniable overly in love with Alexa <3. I don't care of the rule or what other people say about me for choosing her. Love is undefinable, right? So here my pledge of love for Alexa. *LOL*


It all starts at @thebaghag's blog site The Bag Hag Diaries after she posted a blog this gorgeous "Mulberry Oversize Alexa" and I fell in love that instantly. By the way you should totally follow her on twitter and on her blog. She's like super nice blogger and she often have this cool giveaways for her followers.

Mulberry Black Oversized Alexa

I know... I know its a woman's bag, but I think I can rock this look. Beside we're living in a world where gender stigma is no longer applied. Men and Women are equally balance this day. I absolutely adore the chicness and look of the bag. This bag is named after and inspired from lovely Alexa Chung a British model and modern style icon. In case you don't know Mulberry is one of the most luxurious bag in the entire world. So this bag is bound to spell chicness and classy all over it.

Mulberry Electric Blue Baywater

Mulberry Black Elkinton

Mulberry Watermelon Alexa

Its a cross between Mulberry iconic "Baywater" and men's briefcase "Elkington". Mulberry Alexa have 3 sizes Mini Alexa, Alexa (regular or medium) and Oversized Alexa *which I love*. And how about the color you might ask... they come in variety of colors bold color, print and so on. Oversized Alexa is a roomy bag that can be carried over your shoulder, by hand to its braided top handle or crossbody. Perfect for everyday use or  formal event.


So in conclusion, I JuanStyle solemnly swear to all of you reading this blog I will have this bag. Just wait for me my beautiful Alexa... *hahaha*

One of Nature’s finest, Laguna’s Pride

I just got home from work and I was thinking what entry could I give to Jade, since my introduction doesn’t really suit his blog.. in other words, pambawi sa mga pagkukulang ko sa kanya at dahil na din siguro hindi ako makatulog at naover dose ako sa kape.. I will not promise that it’s gonna be entertaining but this is DEFINITELY ONE OF NATURE’S FINEST.. Last August 2010 I went to Alaminos, Laguna, of course only in the Philippines, (parang may reader na taga ibang bansa diba), with my family, it was actually my second time in that resort, it is popularly known as HIDDEN VALLEY..

Topview:

This is one of my masterpiece using my nokia e51 cell phone, top view and can only be seen when you’re at the bridge.. I did my best to capture the beauty but im really sorry for the shot coz it’s nothing compared to the lenses of dslr, 2 megapixel guys so don’t complain.. :DDD

I don’t remember how many pools there are.. I think it’s around 7 running water pools, im not sure.. they have this SODA pool, I don’t know why it is called soda, maybe coz the water is very clean that drinking it will be fine.. in this picture the largest body of water (dagat genun??) is of normal temperature but on the smallest on top is lukewarm, which I actually have my most favorite picture taken coz I look like the goddess of nature on that photo..

Ang babae sa break water

pasintabi lamang sa mga kumakain at paalala sa mga magulang ito ay hindi kathang isip marapat lamang gabayan ang inyong mga anak sa susunod na larawang masasaksihan..baw!!

                                                                                                                    

They also have this LOVE pool.. it’s super cold and really nice for hot weather.

And this is the pathway if you wanna go to the highest waterfall of the resort.. but going near to that waterfall is prohibited since I think it’s more than 90ft, of course that’s for security purposes and once you pass through the soda pool there’s a personal local tourist guide waiting to show you around, since it’s kinda scary.. it’s pure nature so they try to keep the virginity of the place.. sabi nga nung manong sa kin the first time that I visited there, na merong mga ahas at bayawak, and in fact I saw one.. 

I really wanna show you guys more pictures but then it will not be a blog anymore but a photo album.. but this place is really awesome.. if you’re looking for nature, pleasure and relaxation this is the best place.. makakapagswimming ka pero hindi ka masusunog sa araw dahil sa dame ng punong nakapalibot ni hindi ka masisikatan..

So far it’s complete for me, there’s a store in case you forgot to buy your swim wear and floats.. they have locker rooms for day tour and for overnight there are cottages around.. For day tour it’s 1,800PHP/person and I think its half for kids at a certain age, im not sure of the overnight charges since we don’t do overnights..The food is good and it’s buffet, it’s for lunch and merienda.. There’s a band on the dining area performing while you’re eating and take note they are MULTILINGUAL band.. yes!!! You read it right, multilingual.. Someone from the Korean guests and Japanese guests as well requested a song on their own national languages and they sang it in pronto.. as in woooooow, taob ang talent ko!!! The tagalog songs of manong singer is so relaxing.. Ang ganda ng boses ni lolo ang hawak ay baduria at meron ding cello.. soxal lang!!!

Anyway, time for me to go pipz, I hope I gave you an idea on one of the places that you can go to with your families and friends.. I really intended not to gave out everything, it’s for you to find out..

It’s me renzie22 signing out..ima sleep!! (-.-)Zzzzz

Our first "Stylish Juan"

Everyday Wednesday I go to Baclaran to pray the Novena and since today is my free day, I decided to scout the Metro Manila to look for our "Stylish Juan".

All day I am thinking what kind of Juan should I feature for my "Stylish Juan". Should I pick the corporate, hiphop, casual or chic look. There's like millions concept coming in my mind, cause I want this to be a very special one since it is the first.


After a very tiring walking and going to one mall to another.... I give you our first "Stylish Juan"!

Mr. Derek Ramsay and Ms. Angelica Panganiban

I went to Greenbelt to go to ZARA and look for the "Leopard Wallet". Then surprisingly look who I saw at my favorite clothing store it's Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban *yipeeee*, one of the power  couple of Philippines Showbiz. I don't usually approach celebrity when I see them at public I normally don't bother them, because I am worried that I might disturb them. But this time its a exception I am desperate to have our "Stylish Juan". And it's so kind of them to allow me to have a picture with them and disturb their shopping. *winner*

I just like to add this. Have you seen the new Greta Eau de Toilette by Gretchen Barretto? The Greta perfume of Bench has a tag line "Goddess in the Bottle. Which officially launch last year December 10, 2010 at Trinoma Mall, Quezon City.

Window Display at Bench SM MOA

Ms. Gretchen Barretto is truly a Goddess. She look absolutely divine...^^ I love it.

Prints are definitely "IN" this year.

This blog is dedicated to my mom Daisy Manalac and to my long good friend Apple Coscolluela. Happy Birthday!!! I love you and God Bless.

Watching interviews and reading blogs and articles about the fashion prediction for 2011, many of the designer says that "Prints are so IN". So on this blog I give you a prints. :)

Patterned Leather Wallet

For this day we have a another ZARA wallet. "Patterned Leather Wallet" is from ZARA newest collection for Summer/Spring *if I'm not mistaken*. I like to think that this wallet is the counterpart of my previous blog the "Leopard Wallet".

Patterned Leather Wallet

It compose of 55% cow leather, 40%Polyurethane and 5% polyester. I'm not entirely sure but eye sizing the wallet, I think it has the same dimension of the "Leopard Wallet" 18 x25 x2 cm, 8 card slot, 2 large compartment for bills, receipts or tickets and a inside zipper compartment for changes. The hardware of the wallet is in silver zipper.

For all Juan out there instead giving your girlfriend flowers for this coming Valentine's day why not change it up and try this stylish wallet that retail for Php 2990.00. Remember guys "Diamonds are girls' bestfriend, but accessories are girls' life long companion". Hahaha!

Waiting for the ZARA "Leopard Wallet"

If you follow me at twitter (@jademanalac) you would probably know that I am on a hunt for my perfect Long Zippy Wallet. And I think I have found it! *cross fingered*

ZARA "Leopard Wallet"

I often visit ZARA website to check for their new collection. Then upon browsing the site this 100% cow leather wallet with 100% cotton lining really caught my eyes. It has dimension of 18 x25 x2 cm and only come in black *w/c is fine with me coz black is my favorite color*.

ZARA "Leopard Wallet Inside"

It also has 8 slot for credit cards, 2 large compartment for bills, tickets or receipt and an outside zipper compartment for changes. And its retail for Php 2990.00 a bit pricey for my opinion but well money spent for  leather long wallet.

But sadly when I got to the ZARA at SM MOA the SA told me that they don't have it yet. So now I am anxiously waiting for my perfect Long Zippy Wallet. I really want to have a new wallet for new year and for the new Philippines bank note *hehehe*

P.S.
Happy Birthday for my Mama,  for my Good Friend Apple and for my Tiny Baby Girl
I love you all! I wish you all Good Health and God Bless!

My first ZARA Bag

*yikes* My 2nd day of blogging and I'm reviewing a last year bag *hahaha*. Likewise what I have told you guys that I'm not your typical rich kid blogger. I am simple average Juan like you ^_^

Today we have ZARA Bag that I bought last June 2010 like always on SALE day *cheapskate remember, hahaha* .

Me and my sister are walking in the ZARA store that day without any plans on buying anything just the usual window shopping. And then the SA walk on front of me holding this exact bag. Then like any bagaholic I whispered "Oh my... I have to have it" *LOL*. Then the SA just stick a red sticker on its tag. *BAAM* They slash more than 50% off ! I immediately take the bag and went to the cashier and pay for it. *hahaha*

Its a very roomy bag perfect for overnight or for those busy day on the city. This ZARA Bag remind me of Mulberry Piccadilly. 

But cheaper, don't you think? ^^

If I'm not mistaken ZARA is having their SALE today. I love ZARA its so affordable and stylish. So try your your luck at ZARA

Hello and Welcome to the premier of JuanStyle blog.

Your man guide in fashion, travel, health and etc :)  

I have been wanting to start this blog for the longest time, but I'm just too scared to jump start it for few reasons 1) I'm not that talented writer 2) I'm not that great with my English *wrong spelling or grammar* 3) and lastly I'm not a writer at all. 

I always have this concept or idea on my mind how I want this blog to be, the only missing piece is the execution. What made me start this now? I just woke up this morning and I say to myself "I have to on something. Right?" *LOL*. So please bare with me as I enhance my writing skills.

I'm not you're typical rich kid blogger, I am just a regular dude with a regular lifestyle. All I have is passion for life. And I think that is the most important thing to have "passion" , without it our lives will  be boring and we will die of boredom *hahaha*. 

What to expect for JuanStyle? Beside the fashion blog or fashion reviews I will also include a segment called "Juan Street Style". Where I will scout the streets for that "Stylish Juan" every week and we will dissect his choice of stylish wardrobe <3. Lots of gadgets and product reviews. And I also love to invite all my readers to be my guest writer.

I guessed that's it, I am done with my Introduction for JuanStyle. So please enjoy and thank you for supporting my blog. 

God Bless all!

Thank you to: Ms Roch Mendoza for encouragement ^^ it helps a lot
