LOOKBOOK | 'Tabi tabi po'

halfwhiteboy - purple pullover and Margiela Tabi boots 01

Lazy days call for a trusty pullover. I've probably said it countless times before but it's one of the easiest options when you got no time to iron a shirt. I mean, I still do iron/steam most of my pullovers but it's much easier than doing a long-sleeved office shirt. While it looks good on its own, like this purple number here, you can just throw a jacket or a blazer over it whenever you need to look a little more "corporate." 

As an added touch of whimsy, I wore my tabi boots. Tabi, I learned, is a Japanese sock or foot covering with a separate slot for your big toe. Apparently this designed has since been applied to footwear by Margiela and other houses. Many moons ago, I wasn't too keen about them because it reminded me of camel toe (sorry). Deep inside, though, I know I wanted them. Maybe I just wasn't ready then. Anyway, I'm wearing a pair now and I'm loving them. And oh, of course you need the right socks (tabi socks) to go with them.

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.

Man of style: Steven Tyler

Image
What? Yes, Steven Tyler. He obviously does not fit the bill of the suited type or the GQ man but hey, the man's got style. And he's got swag, baby! Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.
