SOME KIND OF WONDERFOOL

When in the eternal city, skip the finest saltimbocca, salumi and pizza, instead, hit Via Dei Banchi Nuovi, Rome’s yellow brick road to emerald city – Wonderfool!

Think bespoke Italian suits, artisanal personal care products, classic men’s accessories and yes, a full range of spa treatments at your disposal.

Much of the Italian wardrobe color palette is relatively subdued – a mix of high and low, the basics like cotton and linen trousers in khaki, pink with a hint of strong color pop like red and green, leaving an impressive statement. They’ve got it all! 

Hold on, there also is a traditional barbershop inside in case you’re itching for a cut for that last minute dinner with la bella.

And who said we can’t have a little bit of me time? Think again!

BIRTHDAY AND CUPCAKES

Good friends, bunnies and unicorns were part  of the beautiful set in lilac, pink, lime and lavender who came out to celebrate the Bag Hag’s 25^th (she claims) birthday at the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.

Imagine Lilly Pulitzer, Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren in wonderland. Alice definitely was in Mary Katranzou. 

ROLLIN LIKE A BOSS

Thanks to the country’s record economic growth, iconic British luxury vehicle brand Rolls-Royce has finally come to the Philippines. Fast forwards and a couple of glasses of cranberry cognac and champagne after, I just found out the Rolls-Royce Ghost on display for P25.9 million has been bought on the spot by Willie Revillame. Ok, I think my jaw and my man boobs just dropped. haha

(At last night’s launch: myself in a bespoke black suit from Yuen’s, Striped green dress shirt from Ralph Lauren and Fratelli Rossetti black calf cap-toe lace-ups. Ingrid and her Papillon leather twisted and knotted bag by Bally – beautiful! )

And oh, I think I was the only non-Chinese in the crowd aside from Victor Aliwalas hahaha. Anyway, where on earth is my cheese fondue?

INVESTING DOWN UNDER

Some guys like to hang loose, and other guys need the free leg movement afforded by boxers, but not me. I have always liked mine tight.

Selecting the right underwear is not a walk in the park. Honestly, just like my Alden’s and dress shirts from Armani Collezioni, Brooks Brothers and Ascot Chang, selecting the right underwear is just as important.

Rounderwear offers a wide variety of underwear that could suit your personal preferences.

Rounderwear, the premiere innovator of world-class underwear and outerwear products that significantly enhances the physical appearance of men and women, introduces rounderbum, a gluteal shaper, perfect for those who want to enhance and define their hoo-ha’s.

Try it out and snatch up a pair from rounderwear that fits best for your geometry.  Remember, equipment do come in different sizes and with rounderwear, there’s one for everyone from mid leg boxers to package briefs.
