LOOKBOOK | Powdering up the blues

halfwhiteboy - Powder blue blazer and jeans 01

Whenever I feel like wearing jeans to work, I always think of how to dress it up so I can practically get away with it. The usual culprits are an office shirt, with tie preferably, or a suit jacket. Having a more "formal" top helps divert attention away from the jeans. I guess that's the trick.

Because of the rather attention-seeking but easy-on-the-eye powder blue color of my blazer, the jeans basically disappear in the picture, especially since they're dark. That I'm not wearing a collared shirt is also forgivable as a result, more so when you finish your look with office-appropriate leather shoes.

So do I get a pass or what?

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

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.
