LOOKBOOK | 08Jan2015: From bed to work

01ADM_8685

Yep, I had a feeling someone was watching me. The cat was probably wondering again what in the world I was doing.

Anyway, yesterday's outfit was like Friday arrived a day earlier. Yes, it's very casual and I was really feeling the salmon pink color here.

But wait, it's not just about the color; it's the pants themselves. They're drawstring pants! And I wore them to work! Shameless me! How dare I!

So it's like I was lounging at home then suddenly I threw on a cardigan because I realized I had to go to work. Maybe I'm getting too comfy with those really comfy joggers that I think drawstring pants are the next best comfy thing I can wear to work.

I admit that such pants aren't really office-appropriate but the thing here is I'm packaging them into something I could wear to the office (well, at least in an office that's tolerant of casual wear). For one I think it helps that the pants themselves don't really look like your ordinary home loungewear, that they can even pass for some colorful hip chinos or something. Second, putting on something like a jacket, blazer, or in this case a cardigan, dresses up the whole look somehow.

I just think it's fun to experiment. Next time I'm gonna try this look with a blazer or a DB jacket perhaps.

Happy weekend, everyone!

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
