Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton

I was happy to learn that my (and My Bibe's) favorite Angelina Jolie is doing a campaign for Louis Vuitton. It's the latest installment in the luxury brand's Core Values Campaign where the likes of Sean Connery, Mikhael Gorbachev, Keith Richards, and a slew of other personalities have already been featured. The campaign was introduced in 2007 as a balance to LV's high fashion-driven marketing, focusing more on its travel roots.

The visuals were shot by another favorite, Annie Leibovitz, in Cambodia, a country very close to Jolie's heart. She first came in 2000 to do Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and returned many times over after that for various humanitarian and charity work (primarily for the United Nations as a Goodwill Ambassador). Needless to say, she later adopted son Maddox from a Cambodian orphanage.

As expected, Jolie's fees will go to charity. And this is just one of the reasons why My Bibe and I love her beyond her stunning looks and talent. Geez, she's been to Iraq and Afghanistan for chrissakes! Unannounced! But of course the media gets wind of it when she's already there. Now she's in Turkey visiting Sudanese refugees. If naysayers say she's probably faking it, well I say she's been faking it too long now. So it must be genuine. Go, Angie!

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.
