Surplus Cargo Pants

Calvin Klein Jeans Surplus Cargo Pants.
I love the fact the it’s elasticised at the hem of the pant leg. It creates a balloon effect. Wearing those wedges you see in the photo is a good idea but, of course, it’s stilletos for me. Hehe. I like the idea that you can wear the flat sandals […]

Corset Jacket

Betsey Johnson Corset Jacket
Say whaa–?!
A corset and a jacket in one? Crazy idea, huh? Better believe it because as you can see in the image, it’s real. Hahaha.
Betsey Johnson is behind this crazy but fantastic creation that merges the concept of corsets into jackets. Will it make you look slimmer I wonder? I’ve always wanted […]

T2B A-List: Lace Trim Silk Top

Elie Tahari Lace Trim Silk Top
A quiet elegance. I love the colours. I love how it creates the essence of simplicity and softness.

It would look best if worn with:
White Wide-legged Pants,
Short Denim Skirt,
Bootleg or Flared Jeans, or
White Wide-hemmed, Knee-length Skirt.

As for the footwear? Any strappy sandal, may it be stilletos or flats, will work […]

Cropped Cargo

Guess? Poplin Cropped Cargo.
What’s a Poplin, anyway? Pffft.
I love cropped bottoms. It’s modest enough to cover a portion of your legs but shows off that sexy bit of ankle that you may happen to have. That’s why I love wearing them with stilletos, makes my calves slimmer and ankles, sexier.
This piece, with all it’s […]

Patchwork Scarf

Joolay Ivory Patchwork Scarf
Notice the intricate details of the scarf. You can’t help but admire it. It’s highly feminine.
This piece of accessory is great to create a soft elegance to your top or the entire out fit. It doubles as a warming tool, too, during those chilly days.
I never used to wear scarves but I […]

Charmeuse V-Neck by Betsey Johnson

It’s hot pink.
It’s funky.
It’s got to be a Betsey Johnson.
Making a statement, that’s definitely what you’re gonna do when you dare to wear this fantastic looking item. Wear it as a top or wear it as a dress, that’s up to you. Don’t you love flexible clothes? I do. That way I’m not […]

Caslon Tonal Stretch Twill Jacket

I’ve been seeing a lot of Jackets floating around sporting this design. I reckon it’s the buttons down the front. It’s like the jackets that the military wore during the period of Civil War, don’t you think? Well, I’m poor at American History, much less be certain of what the uniforms look like so please […]

Betsey Johnson: Funky and Artsy

Betsey Johnson is known to be the funky and artsy fashion designer in the US. She has been doing shows Fashion Week after Fashion Week for more than a decade now.
Her designs caught my eye a good 5 years ago but I could never give her styling ideas a go. She’s way too artsy for […]

Colours, A Styling Suggestion.

What’s your favorite color?

No, it’s not one of those first date question thingies nor is it a psyche test. I just want you to tell me what your favorite colour is so we can come up with an idea for an outfit. Sounds weird? Well, it’s one of the things I find inspiration from, my […]
