I realized that I need more brown shoes in my life. Particularly, beautiful brown shoes like this stunner here. 

This handsome pair has the right shade of brown with slight black gradients that only serve to increase its desirability factor. The design is simple and classic - one that you'll wear for years and years to come. 

The detail that drew me in was the tiny jagged edges on the top vamp of the shoe - perfect and subtle. It adds that little touch of cool and uniqueness while going unnoticed unless someone inches in for a closer look. It's this little bit of luxurious detail that makes a pair of shoes something to covert.

My attraction to checks started last Winter when I was in Milan and I picked up this simple checked shirt at H&M. It was a black and white variety - simple, rugged and quite apt. I wear it all the time, with jeans and shorts. It's a great causal piece that I haven't gotten tired of.

Which brings me to this shirt - definitely more fancy and dressed up than the above mentioned shirt and hitting all the right spots for me. The classic black and white checks is timeless and would instantly provide a pop of detail to a work or play outfit.

I would wear this slim fit shirt with a solid colored knit tie - playing with both texture and pattern and letting them compliment each other. A tie with a slight patent sheen will also bring this up another notch.

Dress this up or down - either way, being checked out this way always works in my book. Get this for US$363 at Matches.

I used to avoid lighter colors like the plague. See, I am as clumsy as clumsy gets and I always seem to spill sauce, ink, oil, wine on myself and my clothes. I don't exactly why but it seems no matter how hard and often I try, I still have accidents. So dark colors were my ammo for a while until life was too short to not wear colors.

So I went out and bought a bunch of white shirts - yes, I know, I can be quite extreme sometimes. And if I spilled something on it, fine, I would either try to remove the stain myself or make it my dry-cleaner's business to remove it for me. After whites, I slowly moved up the color ladder to light blue. Just like this shade on this beautiful shirt.

I am loving this shade of blue. I am just drawn to the freshness, lightness and calmness of this color. And the contrast piping makes for a quiet statement while providing just the right amount of detail. Wear this to the office or for play - either way, this smart dress shirt will take you places and then some.

Simple and handsome - just my kind of shirt. Now all I need is a spare bottle of stain remover...

I love laced-up leather shoes and as much as I love my laced-up shoes, they get cumbersome sometimes when the laces come undone. And they always seem to come undone at the most inappropriate of times. They are also a bit trickier to take off after the party and the after-party - untying thin and short laces after consuming copious amounts of alcohol is not exactly very fun at 5am.

That said, it is at these times, where moccasins and loafers are so handy. This pair from Gucci is hitting all the right notes with me. I love the clean, simple lines and the sleek exterior. Neat, functional and yet stylish. The simplicity of this pair is something I really enjoy especially the Gucci script logo on the side vamp. Nothing loud or ostentatious. Just simple and succinct. Like a modern day name-tag for your shoes.

And this comes off easily - so no laces to deal with in the wee hours of the morning and no cause for frustration. That is something I will always appreciate.

We're in the midst of a recession and there is no better time to look for bargains. If you're out shopping for something; you might as well get it at the lowest possible price. Sale seasons are a great time for good bargains. Search well and you might be rewarded with a loot worth shouting about.

Loafers are evergreen and they go with pants, shorts, jeans. Which is why this pair from Gucci really caught my eye. Its simple, clean aesthetic is something I appreciate. No loud, ostentatious Gucci stamps or logos. Just visible stitching and a wonderful knotted detail across the middle vamp. Simple, classic and quiet.

I really like the knotted detail - it adds a dash of silver charm to this piece. The wooden heel adds a contrast that will look great dressed up or down. A handsome piece that will give you mileage for years to come.
