I know I have mentioned my love for studs a bunch of times here. That doesn’t mean I jump on any studded item. Prada’s upcoming Fall collection is a centerfold for studs and I applaud the vision and the direction the design house is going in but there are bound to be a few hit and misses. Take this wallet for example.
I love studs but this is just an overkill. It’s too much of a good thing and it doesn’t look stylish or forward at all. In fact, it reminds me of what a cowboy in the mid-west would carry. It looks tacky and so out of sync with the aesthetic that it is trying to portray.…

I have been looking for another everyday bag one and off these past couple of weeks. My favorite Marni one needs to be taken in and cleaned and have its handles fixed. I was a little disappointed in the quality of it; I am a fan of Marni and I expected more. I am very hard on my things but I think the true test of a item is how it withstands daily pressure and bumps.
I digress. So I was just browsing for a new piece to call mine when I found this handsome messenger. I think this would make a good addition to any wardrobe – the brown shade is universal and with its handy…

I’ve always loved the look of messenger bags; especially leather ones. They are the classic version of a man-bag, not as trendy as a tote but still stylish and fully function. I always get a rude shock when I see men in suits and formal office wear with backpacks that have seen better days. There is no point wearing a crisp shirt, sharp shoes, fancy cuff links and then slinging a backpack like it was high school all over again. It instantly kills your whole look so dump the backpack and invest in a handsome, sturdy messenger bag for hands-free mobility.

This briefcase has my name written all over it. Handsome, stylish, sturdy and classic. All the positive trappings of something to covet. This would be one piece that will last you years and years.
The soft leather will only get better with age increasing the appeal of this gorgeous briefcase. Take it to work, on vacations, even on short weekend sleepovers, why should a briefcase only contain documents? The leather lined interior with two zipper pocket and two open compartments will ensure ample space for your laptop, daily necessities or change of clothes.
I am loving the…

There are certain colors you should generally avoid when it comes to clothing and shoes. Gold, is one such color. It might look good on watches and jewelery but when you cross the line, this is the result.
What would you wear this with? And I’m a bit confused because it’s supposed to gold; opulent gold, instead this just reminds me of a sick canary. One that has been doused in oil, hence the sheen. It looks more Big Bird yellow than gold.
Plus not only does it look out of place and out of the realms of style, it also looks very cheap. There are probably knockoffs that look like this at the usual…

I’ve stared and played with Prada’s Fall croc and flame inspired shoes and bags in the showrooms when I was in Italy 2 months ago. Until now, I still don’t understand how anyone could consider these stylish.
They look cheap and ironed on – the kind of iron-on badges that you get when you enroll in a summer camp. This season, they seem to inspired by reptiles. But the way I see it, if you’re going to be inspired, then go the whole way. I love exotic skin but this croc-inspired appliqué is turning me off.
This looks like some suburban SUV ran over your leather shoes and you couldn’t be bother to…
