Ann Demeulemeester Cotton Shirt With Double Opening Collar

A black shirt is as much of a wardrobe staple as a white shirt. At least for me personally because black is the best color for a klutz like myself. I spill things and I can’t be bothered with constantly checking myself when I eat. So black is a fantastic option…

Maison Martin Margiela Wool Felt Dress Coat

Sleekness and refinement are two qualities that I try hard to emulate sartorially. You can’t ever go wrong with these two qualities. So when an article of clothing fits these two qualities perfectly, you can be sure that I’ll write about it when it catches my eye. This awesome piece from Martin Margiela is a perfect embodiment of the two desirable qualities…

Givenchy Skull Print Jersey T-Shirt

Ever since Alexander McQueen brought his skull motif to the forefront of fashion, it has been copied tirelessly and mostly to unsatisfying results. So I’ve always went with the thought that if I wanted skulls, I’d go to the original source and get something from McQueen…

T By Alexander Wang Contrast Jacket

I know we’re still in the midst of Summer but with this cold Summer, it’s hard to not want to bundle up. I’ve talked about my fondness for contrast fabric jackets many times before and today’s spotlighted piece by Alexander Wang’s diffusion line, T By Alexander Wang is a great one to check out…

Alexander McQueen Skull Cufflinks

When I was younger, I stayed away from skulls because I was fed that they were associated with evil. Now that I am older and know better, I think they are awesome. Kudos to Alexander McQueen for creating a platform where they can shine every season…

3.1 Phillip Lim Braided Sleeve Peacoat

Dual fabric pieces are a great way to play with color and contrast. I like the double whammy of it all – you get both a visual and textural contrast. Like on this great piece by 3.1 Phillip Lim…

Dior Homme Printed Nail Jersey T-Shirt

If you’ve been following this site, you’d know that spikes and studs are things I gravitate to. Well, nails are sort of in the same category too. There is something tough and cool about nails and I spent most of high school screaming to Nine Inch Nails…

Christian Louboutin Beige Spacer Flat

I am a huge fan of studs and spikes and you can’t think of spiked shoes without thinking of Christian Louboutin. I was a little slow in putting down my name for the Pik Pik and it’s all sold out so well, I am going to go see what else I can get my hands on when I am in Paris in a couple of months…

Dries Van Noten Leather Weekender Satchel

I finally settled on a travel bag – I got one from Givenchy after a few weeks of searching. I’ve only began to appreciate weekenders after I told myself that this is the year that I pack light and buy everything else I need. Because I always seem to end up packing heavy and shopping at the same time. I had 75kg for 3 weeks in Europe last year. It was ridiculous. I am ridiculous…

Hardy Amies Sausage Dog Print Handkerchief

A handkerchief is something very old school and when used in the right context, it can give off a very dapper, charming look. By right context I mean use it as a means to punch up an outfit and not literally use it. Using a piece of cloth to blow your nose and then putting back into your pocket for use later and then some doesn’t make for good hygiene. And really, it’s not sexy to carry around a snot rag…

Lanvin Cylindrical Cufflinks

I’ve only started to get into cufflinks and the past two seasons, I found myself constantly drawn to Lanvin’s sleek collection of cufflinks. I was shopping for my travel bag last week when I stopped by the Lanvin boutique and saw this gem of a piece.
