LOOKBOOK | Summer birds

halfwhiteboy - summer print shirt and pink pants 01

It's January and already I'm dressed up for summer. Temperatures may be a wee bit cooler now in this part of the world but it's no winter for sure. It's forever summer in the Philippines, y'all!

I got this summer print short-sleeved shirt from The SM Store. And my, do they have a variety of such shirts at an affordable cost! Talk about cheap thrills. Now you know where to go for your beach OOTDs.

I paired the shirt with some pink pants. The contrast with the black shirt may appear too stark but upon closer inspection there's a faint pink color in those bird prints, so there's a link there. Red is also close to pink, hence, my choice for shoes.

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.

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.
