You're gonna LOV'EM BLOOMS at Ayala Malls!

Flowers make me happy. The variety of colors, the way they look or even smell makes me produce endorphins more than the usual. Last week, we were surprised by Ayala Malls at the center of Greenbelt 5 with a diverse display of Philippine Orchids, ornamental plants to signify the start of summer. They've been the best looking mall chain bar none, but they made an effort this whole month of April to surround us with lush flora, green landscapes and beautiful gardens. Now how's that for fun?!

All these flowers and more will be now seen in Glorietta, Greenbelt, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Fairview Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu, Centrio Mall, Ayala Malls Solenad and UP Town Center. This is part of their Lov'Em Blooms campaign to support sustainable green living and they're doing different events to further celebrate this!

You can now sign up for Green Walks so volunteers from Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society Inc. could tell you about native trees, flora, that can be easily found inside Ayala Malls. They'll also be displaying some of the most beautiful orchids this April 16 at the Fairview Terraces, April 23 at Ayala Malls Solenad and May 7th on the Alabang Town Center. They're also promoting arts and crafts workshops on May 7-8 in Alabang Town Center, a photo contest with Ayala Alabang Camera Club plus art activities on May 20-22 in Greenbelt. 

Here's a little taste of what's in store!

Oh and for those who are not blessed with a green thumb (like me I think LOL) you can get tips from Joey Quintana and the whole Alabang Garden Club so they can teach you how to get them survive your hands lol. This will be on May 7th then they'll have a Mother's Day activity on May 8th. If you are fond of tea, Greenbelt has an edible garden on those dates so stay with a bunch of amigas and enjoy it like in England. For those who fancy to get the blooms to their own special occasions, the suppliers, local producers, growers florists, designers, stylists, name it, they'll be in Greenbelt from April 15-17, May 6-15 at Ayala Center Cebu, May 7-8 at Alabang Town Center, May 6-8 at Abreeza Ball, May 21-22 in TriNoma, June 3-5 in Glorietta, June 22-26 at Fairview Terraces and June 24-26 at Centrio Mall. You basically have the whole half year to enjoy these flowers, plants and activities because this is Ayala Malls.

Converse Releases Chuck Taylor All Star DC Comics Series

I love Converse and they probably are in more or less 20% of my shoe population right now. They just game me more reason to increase that number when they announced the launch of the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star DC Comics line this weekend. I'm a HUGE Batman fan and seeing what they have released on this day, I was already saying expletives in my head because I loved every bit of it. Check out our video!

DC COMICS x Converse Philippines by kumagcow

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Wonder Woman sneaker dons the artwork from the Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment Jim Lee. It's got the character's image on the tongue and sides of the shoe, the logo is also on the actual laces. The laces are also available in black and white so you can change the look depending on your mood. It's available in US 5-8 size, and is very limited.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Superman sneaker on the other hand has artwork by Kenneth Rockfort. You've got Superman on the sides and at the tongue of the shoe. Also, the red and yellow shield with an S on front is prominent. If you're a major superman fan though, I suggest you get the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Justice League too. The design is created by Andy Kubert. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Justice League sneaker has got your favorite DC Comics Super Heroes on both sides of the sneaker including Flash et al. It also has black and white laces so you can jazz it up when you see the need to. 

My personal favorite though (which I don't have yet) is the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Batman sneaker which shows the caped crusader flying towards the screen on both sides of the shoe. I also like the semi opaque Converse logo that doesn't bother the whole look of the show so if there's something I'd like to buy, it would be just that! The Superman, Justice League and Batman is in sizes US 7-11,

Check them out at all Converse branches nationwide! It costs Php 3,510 a pair. Get it before it runs out!

Perfect for the weather: Converse All Star Rubber

Most of my readers and friends know that I'm a shoeholic. Let's just say it's a little problem already because I have about 172 shoes from my last count and I don't think I'm stopping. When I was invited to the Converse store in Glorietta a few days ago, I immediately tried to calm myself on what was about to happen. You see, I don't really mix well with shoe stores and Converse is pretty much a staple. I have about 20+ of that already and this time, I'm already shaking because they just launched Converse All Star Rubber. Yes, your favorite everyday shoe just got revamped into a more weather friendly form and they're out on stores right now.

The shoes are quite amazing as it is rubberized on the upper side so it repels water, it's got waxed laces so you'll be dry when it's get splashed on top. It's also got a different lining inside called French Terry so even in this cold weather, your feet is going to stay warm. This is part of the Converse Fall Holiday 2015 Weatherized Collection. You may check out this video I made at the store during the preview.

As you can see, they've got it in different colors. You can collect the Converse Black, Gloom Green, Thunder Grey and Casino Red. I specifically chose the Casino Red because I'm a UE Red Warrior, go figure!

It's wonderful, it's comfortable, it's not too hot actually. I had a hunch it was going to be a little sweaty because of the material, but surprisingly it was totally okay. I love it and I'll wear my Rubber Chucks aka Chucks All Star Rubber whether it's sunny or a rainy day!
