I’ve spent the last week fighting a bad cough and a cold. I don’t fall sick often (twice a year at most) and I get a cough once every few years so when it comes, it’s bad. My cough kept me up for days and when I don’t sleep, I get stressed and when I get stressed, it shows on my skin (I’ll tell you more about that in the next couple of days). So naturally, I wasn’t feeling very good and when I don’t feel good, I either go shopping or think about upcoming events to cheer myself up.
I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I am looking forward to Summer. I’ll be spending a few months in the South of France later this Summer and it should be awesome. I am digressing a little but my point is, Summer’s just one of those times in the year when everyone’s generally happier and who doesn’t like that?

Backpacks don’t have a very good rep sartorially. I’ve spoken out about their tasteless pairings with suits a couple of times here on this site. Sometimes, it isn’t so much about the idea of a backpack but how the backpack looks itself. There are certain pieces that should be left in high school and never revisited.
If you’ve always been a big fan of backpacks, then go the sleek route and select an adult version – one that is made from leather.

Philip Lim is one of my favorite designers and I buy his pieces almost every season. He’s got a fantastic sense of balance – between wearability and attention-grabbing. Plus, his clothes are cut slim which is perfect for me.
Next season’s RTW says it all. Simple, elegant and yet stylish. I picked my favorite looks and I will look out for them at the stores. The black day bag with its shoulder and top handle is just calling to me. I could use another day bag and this could be it. Functional and stylish – I will take this everywhere.
The grey tee with its cube design is simple and great for Summer wear with shorts or jeans and I am

I am a huge fan of totes with shoulder straps – they come in extremely handy when running errands; leaving your hands free to do whatever needs to be done. I love my Marni everyday bag and I take it everywhere. My only complain is that the leather handles have come undone or rather, unglued. I expected the quality to be better and I have to say that I am a tad disappointed. The problem could have been easy avoided if they had just stitched the handles instead of applying adhesive.
Which is what this great bag from 3.1 Philip Lim has. Philip Lim is one of my favorite new designers and I buy his pieces every season. They are stylish, …

There are certain days when I don’t feel like lugging around my everyday bag; days when I don’t really need to. When accessories such as this simple, stylish document attache is just what I need.
The clean lines and detail of this document attache will certainly take you far. I am digging the rounded stud embellishments and the external topstitching; both adding a subtle detail point that shows how you can still be simple and look great.
The twist-lock closure and the envelope-style flap top are unique in their own rights. I like how this was designed to replicate a large, handy envelope. The soft suede lining will help protect your delicate items; like your Macbook Air, for example, which will fit into this sleek piece.

How cute is this cardigan? I am digging the whole illusion of a 2 piece layer. This means you can wear this all year round. In the Summer months on its own and in Fall, layered over a shirt.
The slouchy and lack-back vibe from the adorable 4 pockets ensures you get functionality and style without even needing to try. The black and white contrast is a fail-proof concept and will look great with most every color in your wardrobe.
I love detail and this cardigan is seriously calling out my name. Look at the 2 tiny buttons on the faux white tee! Philip Lim didn’t just stop at creating an illusion, he went all the way and that is …

I am loving this beautiful shirt from 3.1 Philip Lim who is fast becoming one of my favorite designers. This 100% cotton shirt has detail, color and contrast that blend together perfectly.
This shade of blue is just the thing to welcome Fall; and if you look closely, you can see a subtle gradual lightening of the blue from shirt down. It’s like those black-blue fabric that look dark navy under certain light and black under other lights. This Prussian Blue shade will take you from day to night; both work and play. Gotta love versatility!
The exquisite contrast between grey and blue is highlighted in the collar; from far, this might look like a stylish clerical collar but it is a thin grey contrast band along the top edge of the traditional collar. …
