LOOKBOOK | Pants-a-slouching

Image
I'm a firm believer in wearing pants with the right fit . The long and short of it is that it looks nice when your trousers have that tapered look, hugging you in the right places and yet leaving room where it should. But sometimes, just sometimes, it's also nice to break away and just let loose .

LOOKBOOK | Rusty orange

Image
No one probably wants rust on their metal. But rust on your clothes (I mean the color, of course), well that's a different story. Quite a lot of orange hues in my outfit here. A spritely pastel orange tee with rust-colored pants -- because why not? They're both anchored on the same color palette but the difference in hue allow them to complement each other. On their own, I know it can be a bit loud, which is why I wore this dark blue cardigan with brown stripes to neutralize the noise.

TRAVEL | Inside the Grand Hyatt Macau's Grand Club

Handsome dark wood panels adorn the elevator lobby of the club floor. It's not often that I get to stay in a fancy hotel, let alone in a fancy room, so when such chances come by, it better be an excellent experience.

Checkered, plaid, or whatever it is that you call it, has been observed as a favorite of new Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, so much so that it's been dubbed by some as the " Duterte shirt ."

Of course having the right fit already addresses much of the problem while styling takes care of the rest. I went through some of my look book posts from the last 5 years and hopefully offer some inspiration on how to wear your "Duterte shirt" with pride. Wear it with jogger-style pants .

TRAVEL | The Grand Hyatt Macau

The impressive and elegant lobby of Grand Hyatt Macau. Haven't found the time to write about this until now. Late last December I had the pleasure of staying at the Grand Hyatt Macau --if only for two nights. I had a really great time there and clichè as I may sound, I wish I could have spent more time at this hotel. Anyhow, here's a rundown of my experience. Architecture and ambiance Located at the City of Dreams entertainment complex along the Cotai Strip , Grand Hyatt has two interconnected rectangular, narrow towers. There may be nothing extraordinary about its architecture but the hotel gives off a hip and modern vibe. The exteriors have an understated look and even the changing colored lights at night are never loud enough.
