What’s the Best Way to Combine Plaids With Florals?

October 2, 2010

I’ve always found the mix of plaids/stripes and florals somehow intriguing for the eye. I think the sharpness of plaids and the softness of florals create a very flowing and complimenting silhouette that defies time and even trends. If you’ve ever wondered how to combine your plaids with florals, here’s a great example for you. [...]

Bring Back Loose Pants: Dries Van Noten Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear

October 1, 2010

I’m a person who feels most comfortable in pants. Particularly pants that have a looser cut to them. I can’t imagine many things more unattractive than tight pants. They are so uncomfortable and actually pretty unflattering (on almost everyone). And to my disappointment I hadn’t seen much of pants on the catwalk in the past [...]

Why Silver and Gold Look So Good Together?

September 13, 2010

Something I often think: Do silver and gold go together? I remember a time when it used to really preoccupy my thoughts that I would try to ensure that I never had silver and gold on at the same time. I don’t know what it was, really. It just felt wrong in some peculiar way. [...]

Silk and Chiffon: Eternal And Never Out of Fashion

September 9, 2010

Don’t you just love the feel of silk and chiffon on your skin? The lushness of silk, and the delicacy and femininity of chiffon. I happen to think that these are two fabrics, that will never go out of fashion. Put a silk or chiffon blouse on with either a skirt or a pair of [...]

What’s The Best Way To Wear White?

August 30, 2010

We’ve reached the end of August once again, and the end of the summer as we know it. Summer is definitely one of my favourite seasons, but always at the end of it, I can’t help but feel a longing for Fall to start. But given that I love summer so much, I try to [...]

Style Tip of the Day: Sheer Lace with Stripes

August 20, 2010

I found a great new look by matching my black, sheer lace blouse with a stripe-top underneith. This cool combination creates a perfect balance using two pretty striking contrasts. The softness of the sheer and the sharpness of the stripes create a interesting mix that not only makes you look twice at the whole outfit, [...]

Fashion Revival: Barbour Jacket, Anyone?

August 15, 2010

Do you still remember those Barbour and oilskin jackets? I used to have one when I was young, and oh how I remember feeling embarrassed to wear it. And since those days oilskin has been but a distant memory. Until recently, when I’ve actually come to understand the real practicality of this brilliant garment. I [...]

COMBAT BOOTS: So ugly that you’ve got to love them

August 14, 2010

I can help it, but I’ve always found it difficult to like combat boots. I’ don’t know why, really. Maybe because they reminded me too much of this military style which I’ve never really warmed into. I’ve never been a fan of studs, military jackets or laced-up anything. But something has changed in the last [...]
