LOOKBOOK | Relaxed with a touch of whimsy

halfwhiteboy - pullover and plaid pants 01

I think it's obvious that I love pullovers. They're just so comfy, easy to wear, and versatile. And as if I don't have enough, my wife recently got me a bunch of new ones (same shirt, different colors) from Madewell. Well, they sure look like they're made well. For one, the fabric's pretty heavy, so it falls nicely on your body, giving you a very relaxed look.

Paired it with some plaid pants for a bit of whimsy (thankfully they still fit me) and a pair of wine-colored oxfords. It's very casual but if the need be, I can dress it up in a flash by just throwing over a blazer or jacket.

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'

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.
