My first impression of glitter-footwear was probably embedded into my mind when I was about 7. After watching the Wizard Of Oz and Dorothy’s ruby-red slippers, I always imagined them as being pretty feminine. Which brings us to today’s pair from Jimmy Choo…

You know how they say first impressions count? Well, they do but I am also a firm believer in second impressions. Like how I was ready to buy this sweater from Unconditional on first glance and then completely changed my mind after I had a closer look…

Okay, so here’s the thing. I like flowers. In the house. I think they add a fresh punch that I always appreciate the morning. However, I don’t believe in wearing them on my feet like this pair of lace-ups from Dr Martens wants you to do…

Now my love for studs is not something that is news but that said, I am not a fan of all things studded. Take this pair of black lace-ups from Ksubi for example. They had me a little confused and on the fence…

I think sartorial rules are meant to be broken and everyone should dress the way they want and inline with whatever makes them happy. That said, I’ve always tried to steer away from pieces that look too feminine…

I like expression and I think the expression through fashion is one of the best things in life. However, sometimes expressions get a little muddled and I find myself on the fence about a certain piece. Today’s Lanvin piece is giving me doubts…

I’ve professed my love for spikes and studs many times; well, obsession would be a better term. So I was quite excited when I found out about this leather biker jacket from Dsquared2 but when I took a closer look, it was disappointment central…

I know by now what works for me sartorially and what doesn’t. Tanks/singlets fall under the category of pieces that don’t but I wish they would. I just don’t have the arms and the body for it and I look on sometimes in envy of those who can. Which is partly why I am on the fence with regards to this silk top from Lanvin…

I’ve realized that sartorially, I am not a big print person. Christopher Kane tees are the sort of only prints that I can do and carry off – like fierce kick-ass gorillas and mushroom clouds from atomic bombs. Edgier stuff like that. So I am not sure how I feel about multiple birds on my shirt…

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…
