Just came back from a short stay in Boracay. I defied all bad luck by traveling on Friday the 13th. And you know what, everything was all good! Anyway, this is the first of two supplementary Look Book posts to make up for my absence at the office last Friday. I got these light blue swim shorts from Speedo a week before our trip. Was supposed to get it in yellow but they didn't have it in my size. Wore a dark blue sleeveless crew from Bench to highlight the brightness of the shorts, and a straw hat I got last year from Zara. But of course, cheap shades from i2i! I wrote in a previous post that I don't wear or intend to wear expensive sunglasses to the beach. True enough, this one got scratched when I wiped the lens with my sarong that had sand in it.

After two nights in Coron town, My Bibe and I spent another two nights at Club Paradise in Dimakya Island, which is still part of Northern Palawan. We checked in on Easter Sunday, and this was what I wore that day: It was stifling (as expected in the summer) so I wore this chest-baring shirt with a really low neckline from Topman. The sleeves are also cut shorter than usual. Got the shorts from Surplus Shop at SM and the straw hat from Bench. I don't own any expensive sunglasses and even if I do, I don't intend to wear them to the beach. Seawater can be very corrosive. So I found an alternative in these wayfarers from i2i for about 300 pesos. Not bad. And after an afternoon of soaking up the sun, I somehow got what I wanted: a darker, sun-licked complexion (if only temporarily). Oh, notice the really short shorts? Also from Folded & Hung. Tank top from Bench. And another oh, I almost forgot about dinner. Paired this collared pullover from Hermes with cheap short...
