LOOKBOOK | Keeping warm with an ethnic woven poncho

This monsoon season had me reaching out for jackets, hoodies, and what-have-you because it gets really cold in the office. Now let's throw in a poncho into the mix.

I got this ethnic woven poncho from House of Nippon (just find them on Instagram), where I also snagged my printed kimono cardigan a few months ago. It's nice and comfy, not to mention that it affords the wearer a certain kind of swag, probably because of its long and draping effect. And of course, it does the job of keeping you warm.

So I started my look with something basic: a plain gray top, joggers, and black lace-ups. Add poncho and that's it!

A colleague who has worked in Colombia before commented that I look like someone from Argentina, or that I look like an Incan. Really?

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

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.
