Skulls became the hip motif to the masses thanks in part to Alexander Mcqueen who used skeleton heads as part of his collections season after season.

This silk scarf with its indian influenced skulls will ensure you points for edginess while doing it subtly. The skulls here on this scarf blend in well with the indian prints, so they are not too in your face which would make them suitable for those more causal and creative work environments.

The lightweight silk fabric gives you the option to wear this all year round. Pair this with a crisp shirt or a tee and wear with lots of attitude.

Get this cool scarf for US$305 at Barneys.

Sometimes I wonder if designers get off when they see people wearing pieces such as this. It might be a good idea conceptually but in reality, it should have stayed on the drawing block.

Look at this. You have patches of embroidered algae on each arm. It looks just like those underwater algae I see when I go scuba-diving. They are beautiful and are a splendor of nature in their natural environment but this cardigan is far from being anything splendid.

This looks like you've got a brightly colored tattoo of a huge kelp on both your biceps. And you don't need to pay US$1207.55 to achieve that.

Just get some multi-colored Sharpie pens, flex and have your 6 year old nephew draw you one. A popsicle for him after won't even break your bank.

I bought an amazing tie neck Balenciaga shirt when I was in Florence and it is hands down one of my favorite shirts - even though, I have not worn it yet.

I think having the tie neck detail on a shirt is nifty and cool. It saves you the extra hassle of dealing with another accessory if you're already running late. And the great thing is, you don't necessary have to tie it like you would a tie, you could make a bow tie, you could tuck one end in and fold the other over it for a nonchalant look.

This white shirt from Alexander McQueen's younger line is simple and stylish. And with white, you can wear it all year round. Its cotton fabric ensures you the flexibility to layer it during the warmer months.

And you can never have enough great white shirts. Get this for US$295 at Barney's.  

I saw this shirt at the store last weekend and I was surprised at how much cooler it looks up close compared to a screenshot online.

This cotton poplin button shirt has a neat grosgrain ribbon trim running through the shoulders, cuff, collar and button placket. This ribbon trim adds a stylish contrast to the white and charcoal tiny stripes.

The buttons are hidden by a placket, giving this shirt a streamlined tailored look. Get this for US$365 at Barney's.  

This neat tie from Alexander McQueen with its cream stripe will add a muted line of color to the everyday shirt. Wear it with a light colored shirt as seen on the McQueen runway or with the usual black/white selection. Either way, this will be a chic addition to your collection of skinny ties. Get this at Alexander McQueen boutiques or at various departmental stores globally (search under Contact Details).

Alexander Mcqueen is most famously known for his skull motifs. This key chain is part goth, part rock 'n' roll and all style. With an easy to slide in key holder, you can switch keys around with ease. Don't you hate it when you have to spend 10 minutes sliding a key into a narrow key ring? Or maybe that's just me. Get it at Barneys for US$150.
