H&M for Brick Lane Bikes recently launched a capsule men's collection that captures the full spirit of modern urban cycling - a collaboration that was designed by H&M and tested by Brick Lane Bikes. I like how each piece is very technical yet practical not only for those who cycles, but also looking for clothing that is functional apart from covering your skin. This collection features water repellant rider jackets and articulated blazers to vintage-inspired bike jerseys and caps, an 11-piece collection that embodies functional fashion for everyday wear. As part of H&M's Conscious work, this collection made from sustainable materials will be available in 180 stores globally on 7th March 2012.

Guess what, this collection will be available in H&M Store Lot 10 Malaysia on 7th March 2012.

adidas BOOST is said to change your running experience forever as they introduce a revolutionary cushioning innovation with this pair of shoes called Energy Running - it provides the highest energy return in the industry.

The foundation of BOOST lies on its cushioning material - a groundbreaking development of a material that makes up the shoes' midsole (the foam-like area). Due to their unique cell structure, these capsules store and unleash energy more effectively with every stride. It is much more consistent and gives a better boost of energy than the EVA foam that is commonly used in most running shoes as it is more temperature resistance.

Apart from the midsole, the upper part of this Energy Boost features adidas' very own Techfit technology of highly durable and elastic polyurethane, providing optimal comfort and support while you run. Even the material and stretch of the shoe fits like a sock, and no irritation is expected as the inner upper part is free from any distinctive stitches (which I hate in most shoes).

 The Energy Boost retails at RM550 for both men and women and will be available (in very limited quantities) at the adidas Sports Performance Concept Stores in Suria KLCC (Level 3) and Sunway Pyramid (Level 2). 

If you'd like to get your hands on a pair before it runs out, you can now pre-order your own pair of Energy Boost at

I've been going through my blog draft lately after stumbling upon a few posts that was halfway done but never published for God knows what reason. Probably work was more important at the time thus I always ended up adding more posts without realizing the amount of drafts I've accumulated over the months. I know some have been yonks ago but as memory's sake, I might just post them up. It might be useful, someday.

Sometime last year, I received a lovely email from Jeffrey, a reader and acquaintance, to appear on Harper's Bazaar cause he works there and I would be silly to not say yes. After exchanging a few emails, a date was set and the location was confirmed. I didn't know what to expect but I was told to just dress as my usual self, and my usual self came in a top, jeans and brogues (which I kinda overused at that time). The feature came out a couple of months after which you can view if you scroll to the bottom of this post. 

I'm gonna leave you with (crappy) photos that I took with my iPhone, cause I kinda left my camera on that day of the Never Follow Suit store in Bangsar Telawi. Pretty interesting, if you like quirky kind of things. Joe Chia is a lovely lad and together with his model girlfriend, they're like a couple made in fashion heaven. I had my eyes set on a few things, unfortunately they were not for sale =P

Will be updating from New York soon!
