What is the deal with these new sandals? He apologizes for not warning people earlier that they are by far the ugliest things since UGGS. You cannot possibly think they look good! Sorry, sandals are for summer, don't go combining them with booties. Hell, He doesn't even like saying the word booties. He had a hard enough time dealing with gladiator sandals and has come to accept them, but there is no room in this world for bootie sandals. Not Today, Not Ever!

Bootie Sandals...Please Stop Wearing Them!
The Shopping Race & The 2-Way Monologue
Sooooooo...I'm back from Singapore and the shopping race I participated in with Hanzky from Fashionese Daily...overall, it was a great and memorable experience as I got to deal and team up with an inspiring, persistent & passionate woman (yes Hanzky, you truly are, so thank you), hop from one mall to another which forced me to explore shopping centers other than ones on Orchard Road that I usually only visit, revisit my mathematical skills, and know how it feels like to compete with teams from various countries and run like hell. Alhamdulillah...:)
Here's a recap of everything! :)
Below was our guide, Mr. Agustar, a very friendly, supportive & heartwarming guy...
Before the race started, we were all gathered in the Singapore Tourism Board office for a technical briefing...in total, there was 25 teams participating, some from Malaysia, India, Dubai, UK, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and of course Singapore and us Indonesia.
I actually misunderstood the mechanism of the race earlier (tee-hee), therefore my explanation here was incorrect. We were not given a list of items to buy, but instead given $1,000 to spend on any items that will allow us to achieve the greatest savings possible (savings = real price - after discount price). Having this, our goal was to locate stores that were having major discounts. And by major, we mean more than 90% discounts! Besides shopping, there were also some tasks we had to complete, such as the memory challenge and cake decorating.
The race was won by the UK team (a woman named Amanda who was in this UK team, was also the winner of last year's race), followed by the Vietnamese, then us.
Now here comes the interesting part. We were very surprised during the announcement, as 1) they declared our amount of savings less than what we have expected and calculated earlier, and the fact that 2) the winning team achieved total savings that was practically and mathematically impossible given that we knew exactly where and how much they shopped. We directly raised this issue to the committee, and ended up arguing from 8:30 pm till 12 midnight. Since our debate went up till late, we had to continue the next day.
It was actually a very simple issue to resolve. A very, very simple issue but made complicated. I do not wish to lay out the exact problem here, so all I can tell is that whatever we or the UK team had to say, can simply be verified by the shopkeeper on who was telling the truth.
On the next day, we all reconvened in hopes of wrapping up all unsettled issues & hard feelings we still had from last night...but it turned out pointless. The meeting was opened by a representative of the committee, then continued by Amanda from the UK team who literally delivered a speech she had already prepared and written on a notebook prior the meet up. As her hands were trembling the whole time she read out her speech, she verified that she and her partner had no intention of cheating whatsoever, and denied all of our accusations stating that they did not hear anything we thought they should have heard from the shopkeeper. Therefore, if there was anyone to blame, it would be the shop itself who had made mistakes in the calculation, and the UK team had won out of luck having the advantage of the shop's mistake.
Our point was clear, that all we wanted was for the shopkeeper to clarify this issue as she was the sole key witness that knew everything that has happened inside the shop during the whole time of race. That simple, that easy. Funnily both the UK team and the committee refused to invite the shopkeeper into our meeting, with the reason that "the shopkeeper is not trustable".
Wow.
I guess Hanzky and I did not see any point in having the meeting after all, so we decided to end it and thanked, apologized to and congratulated everyone there. As soon as we turned around and walked away, we both cried. Sigh. I love you, Hanzky. Sorry for not being able to fight more.
And let's just forget about the other issue we raised but was not followed up seriously by the committee: our savings calculation that was not accurate.
But again, it was a great and memorable experience, and I thank Singapore Tourism Board for inviting us to take part in the race. We won 3rd place! :)
Thank you for all the support, guys! XOXO
PS1: It's a sad thing that I totally lost interest in shopping there though heavy discounts were all around, and these were all I got during my 3 days there...;p
PS2: There's no such word as "trustable".

FashionVote by He...Who Wore it Better?
Two girls who were going out for the night together. Both in He approved outfits, but now let's see who pulled off their looked better:
What are we looking at?
Girl 1: White sunglasses, not sure what is going on with those. Blue sheer button down shirt, over a white v-neck tshirt, simple look, but still sexy nonetheless. Mini skirt, and wedge heels. Skirt and heels look is usually a winner, a great way to make the legs look super long. Pink carry bag finishes it off, not sure that was the right color to go with.
Girl 2: Sunglasses on top of head. Stacked braclets, He is always a fan. Printed romper, and some type of spiderlike heels. She looks great in this romper/heel combo. Like girl 1, the heels enlongate her legs and make the whole body look better.
-He
Time for the ArmHE to Vote:
Vote I Agree: Girl 1
Vote I Disagree: Girl 2
Cowgirl You Need Help...
No Cowboy is walking by to pick this up anytime soon. Cowboy boots are one thing but green ones with a purple top. Not sure those boots are gonna work with any outfit. Maybe her tan colored ones got moldy.

The Summer of Cheeky Bottoms...GO CHEEKY!
As you can see there is no other type of bathing suit bottom that compliments a good ass the way a Cheeky Bottom does. Cheeky bottoms allow a woman to show off her beautiful Back Dimples as well as a little more ass then usual. Some companies offer the brazilian cut or the american cut, but why would anyone ever go with the american cut unless your ass is huge. Buyer beware, if you do not have a good ass, do not wear these bottoms. It will look gross and disguisting and you will end up on Fashion by He being laughed at by millions. As previously stated these are not for all kinds, however if you are fit enough to wear them then He suggest you stop hiding that beautiful ass behind a paif of granny p*nty bathing suit bottoms and GO CHEEKY!
-He
Vote 1: If you Go Cheeky!
Vote 2: If you don't.

Got Small Nipples? Enhance them...
"The natural look is back. Nipples are in. From your favourite magazines, to stars gracing the red carpet, women are showing off their breasts with pride. Body Perks nipple enhancers are the latest fashion accessory for your breasts, so take the lead from Sex and the City's Samantha and draw attention to your natural assets. For full effect, wear under a soft cup bra for enhanced, perky appeal."He couldn't have said it better himself. Well actually here is the deal. If He sees a girl not wearing a bra showing a little nip, He thinks the girl has a sh*t ton of confidence to walk outside in that look. Many girls are going to say that its trashy and all that crap, but He ain't buying that at all. In fact He would bet most of the girls not wearing bras are not slutty at all, just confident. Nips are nips, everyone's got'em. So if you have small nips and are looking to pull of this look, you can buy some Nipple Enhancers Here.

Fake Leather Pants w/ Boy Shorts...
He can see your undies! You must be able to see this coming. If you are going to wear tight pants, make sure you're wearing a gstring or something that will not be seen. To He there is very little attractive about showing off your underwear lines. He has done many a posts about this before and He still doesn't understand it. On top of that wearing these fake liquid or leather leggings was enough of its own for this post. With Sneakers, come on?!?!?

Shoe of the Week...Bona Drag
There is something about these Dolce Vita April Heels that is eye catching to He. Black suede 5.5" heels which includes the 1.25" platform. He is pretty sure He saw someone wearing these yesterday and they looked good. Obviously this is a good pick as the black is currently sold out, leaving only the gray available right now. It might not be anything spectacular but it's something a little different.

The Man-Heel...Meel! NO! NO! NO!
"Diminutive shoe aficionados including Karl Lagerfeld, Prince, Richard Hammond and Nicolas Sarkozy have long championed the discreet(ish) Cuban heel. Now, though, height-enhancing footwear has begun to permeate across a broader demographic. For the first time since Glam Rock peaked three decades ago, men of average height are discovering the delights of a few extra inches. Well-heeled shoes of all types, from craftily sized “status” shoes to 21st century platforms, are enjoying a new vogue." sourceContinuing with the Shoe theme today, a new article came out that He felt necessary to comment on. Usually He leaves male fashion to the professionals, but this has gone to far. There will never be a day EVER that He would ever consider putting on a pair of heels. He happens to be tall, so wearing a shoe for extra height is unnessary. But any guy that is looking for some extra height, should just suck it up and deal with it. Hell He doesn't even mind if you get those lifts in your shoes, but Heels, no wayyyy Jose. Strapping on a pair of pumps isn't going to solve your problems, but infact He thinks it's gonna great more.

We Must Expand the War on UGGS!
We have been making slow but steady progress with the War on UGGs. He has gone so far to issue a statement that UGGs will Kill You. Yes this damn brand will not give up. They continue to fight. However this time, it has appeared the enemy is wounded. The ArmHe has finally hit UGGs where it hurts. Although it appears it might have been an inside hit from the UGGS side.
Introducing the newest member of the UGGS line, Slouch thigh-high boots. HAHAHA, well He is pretty sure that the ArmHe won this battle before it even began. Look at those things, is UGGs serious?!?! Find He one person who wants to wear these boots and He will just as quickly show you an enemy of the ArmHe. There is no possible way anyone on the same planet as He can like these boots, it's just not possible. (thanks to Jenny for the tip)

Thank You...Mikoh Swimwear
As the start of summer is just a few days away He wanted to focus this week on some summer products He feels are a must have. While He typically isn't a fan of crazy backd swimwear, Mikoh Swimwear manages to keep this bathing suit sexy! As He has mentioned previously He is a big support of the Cheeky Bottom aka Brazilian style bathing suits. A style that just has not caught on across America yet. Perhaps that is a good thing as we have a ton of fatties that would try and wear a cheeky. But there are still plenty of hot bodies in this country that should be wearing these cheecky style bottoms.

UPDATE ON STEVE MADDEN:
Things You Don't Need, But He Approves
Maybe He did a post on this before, Maybe He didn't, whose to really know. Victoria Secret obviously thinks there is enough of a market out there for topless bikinis it went ahead and designed its very own. Obviously for most people it'll be worn with a bandeau, but even still it doesn't look right. Does a topless bikini really need a neck strap? He is gonna go with NO.
However, He by the "Code of All Men" must support this look for the mere fact that it is a topless bikini. If a woman is gonna go topless, He is not going to criticize the bathing suit in which she chooses to do it in. (Well in all reality, He probably will criticize)

Not All Colors Were Created Equal
He is not feeling the colored tights look at all. Having said that He is sure there are looks or people out there who can make it work, but for the majority of people, it makes you look like a member of Candyland. He would advise people stay away for the sole purpose of making yourself look ridiculous.
