LOOKBOOK | Cuban feels

Where's my coffee?

The Cuban collar shirt--or sometimes referred to simply as Cuban shirt--definitely exudes tropicana cool. That said, it's a sure bet when putting together that perfect summer outfit.

Whether plain or printed, this shirt is characterized by its open, lapel-like collar and short sleeves. It usually has a boxy fit although some modern iterations are trimming the silhouette just a notch. This relaxed vibe clearly speaks of summer and the tropics.

Tropical joy.

Following my printed Cuban collar shirt's lead, I kept everything in a brownish and very tropical color scheme by pairing it with khaki cuffed pants and some casual lace-ups. Plus a couple of beads around my wrist for color. Notice how the fit is a little roomier than most shirts. Would be excellent with high-waisted pants.

Now all I need is a hat, some aviators, and a cigar.

Or you can choose to be sad.

Happy hump day, everyone!

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.
