Back to Shoot Basics: The Toms Bleached Denim Cordones

It's been a while since I handled my last photo shoot. I mean, advertising campaigns don't necessarily require shoots every now and then.

So guess how excited I was when I managed to book three...in a week's time. :) God is good.;)

My excitement even doubled because of the fact that I finally got my company shirt. :) On its 5th year, my advertising agency leveled up. Finally. Haha. Now I'm looking forward to getting a matching jacket as well. Haha!

Ok, haven't had it ironed yet. Haha!

With barely enough time to spare, I proceeded to plot my shoot outfit.

Shoot Style Basics:

1.) The company shirt
2.) The default jeans
3.) And a pair of comfortable shoes

Items number one and two almost instantaneously got checked. I got stumped on the third one.

Since it's the first time my team and I will be wearing our company shirts, then I might as well try something new with it, I told myself silently.

But of course, that something new must be edgy enough to compliment my shirt's simplicity (despite the presence of my colorful logo) and my jeans' plain cut.

I was drawn towards my drawer where I placed all the pairs which I haven't worn yet and carefully took out one box.

Last time I mentioned in my post some of the pairs I wanted to get from TOMS.

Well...I did. I think you should have known better. Haha!

Presenting the Toms Bleached Denim Cordones.

Dyaran!

I can't simply get over its artsy-fartsy look with the cute paint-like splatters all over it! Quirky and Fierce!

Made of durable lightweight denim for that rugged look. Can make any plain ensemble look scorching hot.

And if it's a pair of Toms shoes, it's definitely comfortable.:)

Perfect for a long day...of shooting.:)


Check out my dalmatian-inspired denim pair with my chosen look back stage.:)

Don't you just love it? :)

And the bonus? 

I managed to give another pair of shoes to a kid in need. :) Not bad for a pair that costs P3,795.:)

Indeed, wearing the Toms Bleached Denim Cordones can be so rewarding!

SHOEpper's Guide 5: Nothing But H20

I think almost everyone has gotten crazy over Toms Shoes.

Perhaps because of the utmost comfort each pair offers. It's like walking barefoot...only made more stylish. Hehe.

Or maybe because of the cause it promotes. I mean, who would want to miss the opportunity to get a fab pair of walkers while helping others in need?

Whatever the reason may be, nowadays, everywhere I go, there's a person wearing a pair of Toms that's for sure.

Yup, nothing but Toms Shoes.

From Nothing But H20.

Nothing But H20 was initially known as a "Summer Shop", with its vast swimwear line.

But thanks to Toms Shoes, it has slowly gained prominence as a "go-to" haven for SHOEpaholics as well.


It has 6 branches to date, 4 in the Metro (Alabang, Trinoma, Glorietta and Robinsons Galleria) and two of which in the provinces,  in Boracay and Abreeza,  Davao respectively.

The one in Glorietta 3 offers the widest array of designs to date and it's a must-visit for all those Toms lovers out there.

Trust me, I found my most coveted pair there after 3 months of searching. :) Ok, so that's a teaser.

Each branch carries a unique line of Toms Shoes so canvassing is a must when in a look-out for a specific pair.

Nonetheless, each branch offers customer service at its finest, with the sales ladies transforming into instant fashion consultants in a jiffy.

Here are some of the pairs I fancied during my visit:

I loved all three cordones. The gray looks elegant. The splattered blue one is edginess redefined. And the charcoal one is the epitome of sleekness.

This Sunset model was definitely as breathtaking as its namesake. Promise.

Of course I wouldn't miss this chance to get myself a pair...

or two. :)

Hey, I'm helping kids here. :)

...And it's payday for God's sake. Hehe. :)
