The idea of wearing maxi dresses at work may be a bit of a stretch so let’s trim it down a bit and go for ones that fall below the knee or ones that reach up to the mid-calf. It has the same dramatic effect, well, sort of. But I’m sure you get the […]

Quite funny to start a series on work attires when ,in fact, I would, sometimes, work in my jammies. LOL. But I guess this is one of the ways that I cater to my fashion indulgences, note that I didn’t use the term frustration because I still can wear them if I want to. […]

Dress and Skirt in Drapes

An accent that is sometimes overlooked or over-used by some designers and fashionistas alike. It is after all something that’s not easy to make or to pull off, respectively. But remains one of the better styles made on apparel.

The NAVY-Black Style Guide

They’re saying that NAVY is making a comeback. They say that it’s the new black. Now, all I can think about is the 90s fashion era when Navy used to be a popular colour alright. Talk about de ja vu. Heh. Question is, are we ready to tackle this trend?
Net-a-porter.com offers a few ideas […]

Basque Skirts

Seeing this definitely took me back in time. I still remember the days wherein it was such a rage. I guess with all these talks of 80s inspirations on fashion and accessories, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity on featuring this Leather Basque Skirt I spotted over at Topshop.
