LOOKBOOK | 17Dec2015: Darth Vader forever! (from the Uniqlo x Star Wars collection)

The things boredom can make you do! Stuck in a prolonged wait last Thursday night, I started playing with my phone for a couple of self-timed shots. I was frustrated, though, that it didn't focus properly. After a bit more tinkering, I "discovered" its voice command capabilities and soon enough, I was saying "Shoot," "Smile," "Capture," and "Cheese" out loud.

I was wearing my new Darth Vader/Stormtrooper tee after all.

The t-shirt is part of the Uniqlo x Star Wars collection that's been around for some time now. But just in time for the film release of The Force Awakens, Uniqlo has thrown in a bunch of new designs, which, predictably are selling like hotcakes.

Even if I already have a Darth Vader t-shirt--also from the Uniqlo x Star Wars collection--I couldn't resist getting another one. I'm no Star Wars geek but I've always loved Darth Vader. Maybe it's his costume, or the way he saunters around every time. The guy's definitely got swag!

It was just blue jeans and black sneaks to go with the t-shirt. And a watch. It's all about the tee.

Anyway, may The Force be with you all!

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 .
