LOOKBOOK | 03Oct2015: Come to the dark side

a20151003_151815

Went malling with Kwittiegirl yesterday. I wore something comfy in anticipation of the hours to be spent standing and walking. Yes, malling can also be good cardio (Haha!). So joggers and sneakers were in order.

The t-shirt was a friend's gift to me for my birthday last month. She knows all too well that if she had to pick a Uniqlo x Star Wars tee for me, it better be one of Darth Vader (though I'd actually be fine with either R2D2 or BB-8 if they had them). Vader is one of my dream costumes for Halloween, which comes as no surprise because it's more fun in the dark side. After all, I've already done The Joker and Lord Voldemort before.

Now back to the outfit. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with a black and white ensemble, I thought of throwing in a bit of color to liven things up a bit. That's the blue and brown waxed canvas satchel. It's also consistent with the relaxed and comfy look I was aiming for here.

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 .
