I like whimsical pieces to a certain extent. It could be a tee with a cow sticking its tongue out or a striped sailor top. But I draw the line at pieces that make me look questionable. Like this spotted silk tie from Richard James…

What exactly is a crowd pleaser? I would say something that makes 80% of the population smile or have a pleasant taste in their mouths. Whatever it is, I like the sound of the word crowd pleaser. So I was drawn to this jacket partly because of the name…

I am one for stand-out details and I have a rule that everything I buy now has to grab my attention and stand out. However, that said, the details have to work themselves and look strong. I am on the fence for this harness shirt by McQ Alexander McQueen…

As a kid, I had a bunch of pets when I was growing up and koi were one of them. They didn’t do much for me; I mean you can’t really do anything with a fish. All you do is feed it and clean its tank. I didn’t fancy them then and I still don’t really fancy them now and I would not want to wear anything that resembles them…

I am a detailed person and details are one of my favorite things in life. I like details that stand out and details that pop. That said, there needs to be a line drawn for when popping becomes too much…

Rick Owens is known for his subversive looks and collection and they might make a great runway show but I often wondered about how practical they are in everyday life. Take this coat for example – with its metal application and all, won’t it be a bitch to travel with? Imagine going through airport security with this…

I might not wear a lot of colors but I am someone who knows what looks good on me and what doesn’t. Yellow is not a color that works for me and I don’t think it’s a color that works for everyone so when I saw Jil Sander’s use of yellow and other bright colors this season, I went Hmmm….

Last week at dinner, my sister and I started talking about personal price thresholds for things in general. I mentioned how I read about women who spend $1200 on a jar of face moisturizers in a magazine earlier that day and I said that as obsessed I am about skincare, I will never pay more than $200 for a facial product. The rationale being that it’s only 1 jar and when it’s finished, it’s finished…

I am a dog person and when I was growing up, my favorite books were books on the different breeds of dogs. I would read them over and over again and mark the pages with the dogs that had the characteristics and temperament traits that I liked. I used to live close to a pet store and when I was feeling down, I would go look at puppies…

When I was in high school, I thought baggy jeans were so cool. You know, the Fubu jeans that was so prevalent on the streets from the late 90s to the early 00s. I had a bunch of those and I rocked them to the amusement of my family who thought I looked absolutely ridiculous. On hindsight, I did look ridiculous and really stupid. Lesson learnt…
