What are Heel-Less Shoes? Yes, you got it right! They are shoes without heels. Haha. I will not even try to discuss the history of this kind of shoes, all I know is that they're existing

You've probably seen one of them, these past few months. The first person that really made me say "that pair of shoes is rocking!" was Lady Gaga, I saw her wearing this kind of shoes once and damn she's really rockin' them. It really looks good on her and she made it look like it was really to walk in them. Although, there were a few photos of her stumbling down while walking in them but I don't care. Haha. Ganda pa rin niya sa killer shoes na to.

                                        

Just by looking at it, you may think that it will be hard to use and you are sure that it will give your legs and feet some pain.I thought they would be cool for music videos, awards night, fashion shows and all that, but for me this kind of shoes aren't made for walking.

If someone will give me one and ask me to try it, I will definitely go for it. I'd probably wear it to an event but I'm definitely not wearing them to work and I'm 101% sure that I'm going to have a hard time walking in them.

Doing a little research about them, I found out that a lot of girls who tried one, says that it was actually very easy to walk in them. But still, I don't think they are not for people like me who take public transportation. (I imagined myself naka-back ride sa tricyle wearing heel less shoes. HAHAHA)

If some of you didn't know how these Heel Less Shoes look like, below are some examples.

Imagine kung ganito ang rubber shoes mo?

Matutusok ang katabi mo nito.

I like this one, perfect if you''ll wear this to an event.

This one is very sophisticated :)

I'd like to know if you'd give this kind of shoes a try?

Sometimes, I wish that I am waterproof. Most especially during that time of the year when Typhoons and floods are coming in.

Let's face the reality that we still have to go to work despite of the strong wind and heavy rain waiting for us outside our home. And if you take public transportation like me, you know that most of the time, you, will be soaking wet by the time you reached the office. Don't you just hate it?

What I hate the most is the fact that braving the hard rain can shorten the life of our favorite shoes. That's why I'm glad that Jelly Shoes came to my life. 

I know some of us will not like the idea of wearing Jelly Shoes. You might think that your feet will smell bad or that it might be slippery. But for me, I think that they are one of the many solutions that will help me get through the rainy days.

The first batch of Jelly Shoes that went out a few years ago were a bit hard to wear because of their designs, but thank goodness they changed! The ones that I can see right now in the Metro's famous tiangges can be worn easily to match most of our outfits. 

  

Here are some examples of the Jelly Shoes :

They now come in Animal Prints too! Rawr!

With Ribbons :)

This particular style is a cheaper. I believe they costs from P50 to P100 depending on where you'll buy it.

I don't think I'm going to wear one of these Jelly Boots. Coz I don't think I can pull it off.

This one is a bit hard to match with any outfit. Eto yung tipo ng may binabagayan talaga.

Just like the first boot.

This one I like :)

Again, this one is just like the first boot but on a different color. But still, this will not work for me.

I saw one of this, and hindi siya bagay sa paa ko unfortunately. Good thing I didn't buy one online.

Another example of may binabagayan. Remember : Not everything that looks good on your friend, will also be the same for you. Iba iba tayo, so make sure that you choose the ones na babagay sa inyo.

Bet ko rin to, but I will choose a different color.

I

I've seen girls wearing this kind of boots, and I think it looks good on them. Pero sakin malamang hindi, haha!

This one, I want!

Cute, but I think there's a lot going on.

This one is perfect if you're wearing a pair of shorts. 

Sometimes when it's raining we usually just bring slippers then change and wear our shoes when we  arrive at our destination right? Pero minsan, nakakainis kasi makikita mo yung suot mo or yung legs mo ay may talsik ng putik dahil sa paglalakad mo using your slippers. (Raise your hand if nangyayari sayo to most of the time!)

So the jelly sandals above can prevent that. Di ka na magkakaroon ng badtrip na talsik sa likod ng legs mo!

I am planning to buy one like this in the coming days, pero plain lang. Without the design and the tassel. 

Try to wear this one, baka ilipad ka pa kung traffic. Tipid pamasahe.

This lst one, di ko siya bet. Again, this will not look good on me.

So what do you think? Some of the designs will work for me and I love the idea that I can wear it during the rainy days without worrying that my shoes will be ruined. They actually don't smell bad, for me, that is. Been wearing them for almost a week now. So far they're ok :)

Just a tip, don't wear nail polishes when you are wearing closed Jelly Shoes, kasi since made of rubber sila, yung nail polish natin ay didikit dun sa rubber pag naglalakad tayo. Masisira lang. So if you are wearing a  nail polish, go for the jelly shoes' that are open toe. 

Don't forget to leave me some comments below :) Let me know what you think about Jelly Shoes!

Going to school is one of those things in life that we can’t forget even as we age. We learned a lot from school, met a lot of friends and grew and matured as people.

Aside from the lessons that teachers preach in school, the friends we’ve earned or the experiences we’ve remembered, there are quite a few things that still put a smile on our faces whenever we reminisce about our childhood days. One of them is the things we or our classmates brought to school.

The stuff of envy of children of our days, in one point or another, you or your classmates have dreamt of having these stuffs every morning when they go to school.

The stroller bag is on top of the list. When every kid in your school has a backpack, having a bag with wheels you can pull around is like having an iphone when everyone else has a Nokia 3310.

Lunch boxes are also popular among school boys and girls. But during the 90s (or 80s if you’re older), lunch boxes come in interesting packages. Lunchboxes are not just a container where your mom can put your “baon” but are toys in themselves. Some of them have cartoon character stickers, some are shaped like our favorite cartoon or comic book characters while some of them require a special placement combination before you can open them.

Sharpener Free pencil and special erasers are also a novelty back in the days. One way or another you’ve owned (or at least have seen) this kind of pencil that doesn’t need a sharpener. Instead, it has lead bullets that you load into the pencil.

There’s also a special eraser that goes hand in hand with this kind of pencil. This special eraser not only features the eraser itself, but comes with a roller that helps remove rubber remnants after using the eraser.

There is also a super pencil case you can use with the sharpener free pencil and the special eraser. If you’re using a pencil case made out of tin can or fabric, this super pencil case must surely been a wonder to behold for your eyes.

This pencil case is full of contraptions and hidden compartments for your eraser, pencils, pens, sharpeners, etc.

Lastly, owning a pair of blinker shoes is the best way to know the decade when you were born. I don’t know about other people, but it was only in the 90s that children wore these outlandish foot wear with lights. 

And for sure, at one point in your life, you had or you wished you had one of these. J

Summer is over and June is finally here. That means BACK TO SCHOOL people.

Honestly, are you guys excited to go back to school? While some of you are excited, there will be some who will definitely answer, “NOT”.  I used to hate school back then and I miss it now more than ever. So cherish the moment, kids.

Anyhoo, this post is for all you Estudyantes out there. Most of us, if not all, have uniforms. Grade School, High School, College Students and even some professionals have uniforms to wear all week long. Uniforms come in different shapes, colors, design, etc. And we must admit that some of them are dull and plain boring.

Worry not, coz I have a few tips on how you can spice up your uniforms.

1.       Change Hair Styles and Hair Accessories. Sporting different hairstyles and hair accessories during school days can instantly spice up your school uniform. Berets, headbands, ribbons and hair clips can do wonders not only for your uniforms but for some other outfits as well.

2.       Add a Time Keeper.  Being fashionably late for school is not cool, not only because you’ll be in a bad spotlight on the class but also because you’ll never know what important information you’ll miss.  Worse, by the time that you arrived, your classmates are done with their pop quiz. So adding a Watch to your school uniform is like hitting two birds with one stone, style and time keeper.

When I was in High School, our School Directress does not allow us to wear watches. We totally understand her because she just wanted to protect us from snatchers.

3.       Bad Ass School Bag. When it comes to choosing your school bag, my advice is that, you choose something that will not give up on you when you need to carry all your bulky books plus rubber shoes, all in one day. As for the design, look for something that you can easily match with your School and P.E. Uniform.

Don't you just love a Jansport Bag when you are a High School student? I know I did, unfortunately, we aren't allowed to use backpacks.

4.       The School Shoes. When I was still in High School, we had a very strict policy when it comes to wearing our school uniforms and school shoes. We are only allowed to wear school shoes that are plain black, not two inches high and white plain socks that are higher than our ankles. When you are in college, it will be a lot different, because you can wear high heeled shoes (but black still, for most school), flats, etc. with or without socks on. If your school is not so strict and you think you can pull it off, you can go for colorful socks too!

I love wearing flats when I was in college, they are the best when you have to run from one class to the other.

But for the sexy kolehiyala look, go for stilettos. Good luck!

5.        Wear something over your uniform.  In the Philippines, June is the start of rainy season and wearing something over your uniform to protect you from the cold rain is important. Pick the ones that can complement the color of your uniform.

Just a few reminders to all our students, since most of us are on a tight budget, if you still have your pair of shoes from last year ‘s and are still wearable, don’t be shy to use them again, . Same goes to your bags and other accessories. Or if you really need to buy there are a lot of inexpensive bags, shoes and accessories all around the metro that you can buy, so you don’t have to spend that much. You don’t need to buy new  and expensive stuff just to become fashionable or stylish. 

So are you ready for your first day high? 

Good luck and have a great school year head!
