LOOKBOOK | Patches

Currently enjoying the holidays and this lovely "cold" weather. This university style sweatshirt with all its insignia patches seems appropriate then. Paired it with some faded, baggy jeans and a pair of chunky, square-toed shoes. 

FRAGRANCE | White Oud EDP by Domus Emeterius: Looks and smells more expensive than it actually is

Image
I've already been seeing posts about Domus Emeterius from frag groups on Facebook but it wasn't until they became part of The Rockwellist popup at the Powerplant Mall sometime in November that I got to sample their offerings.

It's been a while since I wore my MSCHF Big Red Boots . Honestly, they aren't the easiest or most comfortable to use given their size and weight (yes, they're heavy). Still, despite the inconvenience, they're fun to wear. Besides, I see how they bring joy to people around me.

The novel, written by Sheila Eggenberger, contains evocative descriptions of the scents of both characters. We've had samples of all five scents for quite some time now but were somehow "forgotten" over the years until a few months ago when my wife and I decided to test them. Full 30ml bottles followed and oh, how frighteningly dark the juices are! Dev One: Foreplay According to Olympic Orchids' website, Dev One  is purported to be the lightest and happiest of the collection, representing the early phase of the story when Lilith, the female lead, is being tempted and seduced into a neo-Faustian deal with the devil (or "Dev").

LOOKBOOK | Halloween 2024: The Dancing Zombie from Plants vs Zombies

Image
Can you call this a dance? Our theme for Halloween this year at the office is Plants vs Zombies , so of course I have to be one of the zombies. Although I am aware of the game, I'm not familiar with the characters since I don't play it. Anyway, I was assigned the Dancing Zombie .
