LOOKBOOK | Patterns and plaid

halfwhiteboy - patterned oversize knit sweater and plaid pants 01

I've said it many times already but mixing patterns on clothing is not always easy, that probably the most viable fail-safe way is to pair a patterned piece with a plain one. But it can get boring too, right? I mean, let's have fun!

Here is a rather loud sweater. Although in earth colors, the patterns are still quite bold. It's also oversized, so it demands adequate contrast as far as fit goes for the ensemble to work. I paired it with plaid pants - with a slim fit to meet the contrast requirement - and in a color scheme that complements the sweater instead of competing with it. I think the trick here is that the plaid is not as loud, its hues darker.

And then brown leather shoes, of course, to complete this brown-themed look.

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.
