Depressed egg but happy me! I have long been pining for a Gudetama t-shirt , jealous that Kwittiegirl can simply pick at liberty any design from Uniqlo. Yes, that depressed egg of a Sanrio character has beguiled me with its kawaii, and it frustrates me that Uniqlo only has it in female tees. But as luck would have it, The SM Store now has Gudetama t-shirts. For guys! To be honest, the quality is not as great as Uniqlo's--the fabric, print, fit--buy hey, for only Php 350, I think I'm good. With much glee I can easily pair it with jeans or shorts. Ha!

Doing the " smungay " pose. Ah, I guess this could be what you would call a "rock and roll" jacket. Ripped denim, patches, spikes --yeah, very "rock." I acknowledge it's a jacket that I don't really need but wanted anyway. As if it were the perfect justification, it was on sale, so I got it.

Let me just start by saying how gorgeous of a bottle this is. It's simple and elegant, the perfect representation of what this fragrance is. Vera Wang for Men is the only men's offering in a line of some 20+ fragrances from the designer most famous for her wedding gowns.

Earlier in September I came across ScentSmith Perfumery at Greenbelt 5. After Hayden Kho's foray into fragrances --which I really liked, by the way--went kaput, I'm happy to see another brand contributing to the growth of the local fragrance industry. I left the store with a couple of bottles in tow, one of which is this EDP called Pink Pepper Leather .

Just one of the many pretty spaces at Charito by Bag of Beans. Bag of Beans restaurants are aplenty in Tagaytay, and opening another one may feel a tad too much already. But no, as their fifth one offers something different--at least in terms of design. Named after its owner, Charito by Bag of Beans attempts to "level up" its already templated formula by going a little upscale. Had the chance to try this two year-old resto, and here's a rundown of our experience.

One of the pieces I copped at last month's  Uniqlo Manila flagship store opening was this t-shirt with a Japanese scenery print with the famous Mt Fuji in view. I haven't given much thought about it other than it's a nice design. Apparently it's part of the Hokusai Blue Uniqlo UT collection , which is rooted in some interesting history so to speak.
