Warm Colors for the Warm Weather

Who says you can't wear uber warm colors for summer? 

Colors like red and black, plus a bit of silver, who loves to wear them on summer?

Wearing warm colors under the burning heat of the sun is such a challenge.  Have you tried it?

It was fun at the first few minutes, but as I began to sweat, I then felt the heat coming both from the sky and from the grounds.  As I absorbed the heat, I later felt that the extreme heat was transformed into something cold.  Science do tell us that our own body is capable of activating its own cooling system once exposed to extreme elevated temperatures.  And I did experienced that.

A Fragrance House

The company that I work with is actually working with  several of the top fragrance houses.  One is Takasago.  

Takasago International Corporation was founded in Japan in 1920. For more than 80 years, Takasago has developed flavors and fragrances for some of the world’s most successful food, beverage, fine fragrance, household and personal care products. Takasago is a leading global company especially in the Asian region.

This fragrance house is very generous during Christmas Season.  As part of their holiday giveaways, they gifted us a Longchamp Le Pliage-inspired tote in maize color.

The handle is made of pure leather and this bag is actually custom-made here in the Philippines. 

Me and the girls at the office, who received this gift, agreed to use this as our office bag.

Here's a Wednesday work outfit shot, and I'm using the bag!
