ZARA Man Lookbook -Soft Wear-

Sports-luxe is everywhere these days, but more recently, gym-luxe is also hitting the streets. The new soft wear line from ZARA MAN pushes out some utilitarian and minimalist pieces that follow the big trends in sportswear. Island sneakers, perforated leather, sweat shirts and light jackets up the game in everyday apparel.

ZARA Man Lookbook -Tailoring-

One of the best places for workwear, ZARA MAN's tailoring lookbook shows off a mix of crispy cut lines and soft tailoring. The more formal and slim silhouette of the bright blue suits epitomises the spring style while the softer and more relaxed fit of modern shirts styled with tailored trousers and shorts capture the look of this summer. The most interesting piece is definitely the crew neck x henley x polo striped blue top. The simple and refreshing palette is a big shift from the very dark and sleek styles of ZARA that we are used to.

ZARA Man Lookbook -Spring-

The Zara Man lookbook is full of style ideas and what's in for fast fashion. Spring for the Zara Man is all about soft lines and simple layering. The minimalist theme runs extremely well for fast fashion and everyday wear. The Spring lookbook is reminding us of crispy bright colours and a relaxed approach to fit. The season shows off some great jackets and I love the sunglasses.

Mini-Bucketlist: Flying

I guess everyone likes travelling these days so I'm jumping on the bandwagon a bit. It's also because I'm approaching the end of my degree which is super bitter sweet because on the one hand we're all pensive about graduate positions but on the other we want to really be released from the shackles of university. Adding to that is the fear that once we do have jobs, we won't have time to be as free as we are at university. I know, how oxy and moronic of me.

In any event I have travelled quite a bit since 2014 and will do more for the rest of this year. It's going to be my final semester at the bottom half of this year and I'll never get the opportunity to go on exchange again.

LCM | Fashion Week Lessons: How To Wear Colour in Winter - FW15

London Collections: Men FW15

For FW15, London Collections: Men taught us just how to colour for the fall/winter season. We often save our bright wardrobes for the spring summer season and wear our muted browns, dusty greys and gloomy blacks for the colder seasons - but if LCM has done anything this year, it's ticking the box for coloured winter pieces.
So, how should we steer away from darkness?

Why I like shoeboxes

So I just got back from Hong Kong, New York and Boston last week and I have so much to put away. To do so, I had to find space for them in my wardrobe and room. After folding all the pants, sweaters, sweatshirts and tshirts, and hanging up my button shirts and jackets, there wasn't much room left for stuff like socks, ties, scarves and fragrances. It's really tough work making space from no space. Especially when I'm such a hoarder - keeping everything I get overseas as memorabilia like subway passes and sometimes even flyers.

But the thing I hoard the most would have to be boxes. Especially shoe boxes. I just can't throw them away! Especially with the big sneaker trend in recent years, we're buying more and more stylish footwear season after season. And the packaging? Oh they look great too.

The Cologne Diaries - Bang Bang (Marc Jacobs) Review

A modern classic for guys, Marc Jacobs' Bang is updated with a striking blue bottle. With fresh top notes and a woody mid note, the fragrance along with its bottle boasts a confident character. Bang Bang by Marc Jacobs makes a great transition from day to night, opening with a striking and fresh scent and finishing with something more musky.

The most iconic thing about Bang and Bang Bang is of course its bottle design, which almost just tips overs if you're not careful. Bang Bang is a great must-have fragrance, something younger and more playful. The look is confident, cool and a little boastful. Iconic pieces matched up with basics to any summer wardrobe.

The Cologne Diaries - JUST GOLD for Him (Just Cavalli) Review

13 November 2014

Got this in about two weeks ago when it just came out but hello exam period... until now. Just Cavalli's JUST GOLD for Him is a stronger, more sensual scent than JUST for Him. It's a much more mature and sophisticated scent that's not too musky even for summer. According to the designer himself, "Excess is my success," and what better way to highlight this than to have Cavalli's faithful python motif dipped in luxurious gold.

This long-lasting fragrance is much more bold and masculine than JUST for Him and very welcoming because of this. It is a great strong spicy scent and I love the leather base note. It goes extremely well with the ristretto coffee in the mid.

NYFW | Trends and Highlights - SS15 Menswear Review (Ovadia & Sons, Billy Reid, Perry Ellis, Carlos Campos, Robert Geller and Bespoken)

New York Fashion Week is home to extremely interesting labels from named designers.These collections are some of my favourites every season because NYFW always pushes out very wearable and marketable pieces, especially for Summer. Love the strong focus of cleaner lines and staple colours this season and the catwalk looks are often sidewalk ready. SS15 menswear is definitely no different.
