To get this look:

1.House Of The Gods Classic Ramones Vest

2.Dark Blue Cotton Twill Shorts

3."SYRIAN" Desert Shoes

4.Grey Mid Size Beanie Hat

5.OBEY Nor'easter Map Backpack

6.Timex Brown Leather Easy Reader Watch

I went for a very causal and masculine look here. I think that adding the Map Backpack gave the outfit a safari-like look.. A great outfit for the outdoors, or just for a good night/day out. I don't usually wear watches but I fell that Urban Outfitters have some very simple yet stylish watches and the Timex brown Leather watch caught my eye! I had to pair ir with this outfit.

2.Trine Cardigan

3.Green Chino Shorts

5.Blue Denim And Brown Plimsolls

I was going for a rock and roll kind of look therefore I decided to pair these dark colours together. My advice would be that if you are looking to buy any printed t-shirts make sure you check out All Saints. Their printed t-shirts for men are very masculine and the graphics are very stunning.

Hi guys, for today I decided to pair the hooded bomber leather jacket from VIPARO with the chambray short sleeve and the ultra skinny jeans both from Topman. I added the Holdall and Beanie from River Island. I was going for a casual look and added the leather jacket to make the outfit a bit more daring. The cheap readers give the outfit a retro feel along with the chambray shirt. I love chambray colours! and you guys can also check out the outfit I previously created with the Green Chambray Short Sleeve.

Hi readers, it is 4:03 pm in NZ and I had just gotten out of bed. My semester has began and I am busy ... sleeping in. So I was looking through H&M online and decided to try on some outfits on their virtual models. You guys should give it a go if you are not already aware of this.

Look 1: I went for a casual but yet a formal look. I loved the blazer with the 2 toned t-shirt and the boots fit perfectly with the rusty colors. I added the grey slim jeans to balance out the casual side in this outfit.

Look 2: I wanted to go fully formal but yet stylish and versatile. I am in love with the shirt! It is going on my wish list :) The pants go great with the darker shaded belt and shoes.

Look 3: I was thinking "beach". So I decided to experiment. I paired these yellow swim shorts with the sweater and boots. I don't like carrying a lot of things on me when I am headed to the beach. So this seemed perfect. I would be free off the boots and sweater and just dive into the water. I have been told that it is a little weird to pair the swim shorts with these boots and sweater, but I like to experiment! :)

Look 4: Here, I was also looking to go for a formal yet simple look, again. It's not much. I paired the white shirt with blue pants so the outfit won't seem too dull. I prefer bow ties over ties and I recycled the leather shoes in Look 2.

Nostalgia’

2012-09-10T00:15:00.001-07:00

To get this look:

1.Rosa Parks

2.Green Boat Embroidery Shorts

3.Brown Military Boots

4.Navy Swallow Printed Snap Back

5.Camel Rucksack

The theme of today's outfit is Nostalgia, I thought that it would be a good idea to combine some really old school pieces. For example, in this collage the 2 pieces that go together are the military boots and the rucksack. It gives a war-ish kind of feel. If that makes sense.

The amazing Rosa Parks t-shirt is from THE ORIGINAL SKIN. I felt that it goes really well with the rusty colour. I have added the blue so the outfit wont be too dull.

Make sure to check out the t-shirt competition on the original skin website, for details check out the previous post.

So.. as you all know it's a busy week for a lot of fashion bloggers. ITS FASHION WEEKK!! I am quite sad that I was not able to attend , I could not go to NZ's either :(

Hopefully next time I can spare some time to check out the fashion week, since I have never been to one. I put together this outfit because a lot of bloggers are probably going to be travelling towards NYC. And I feel that this is an amazing outfit to wander the airport in.

I feel that comfort is the key thing when you are travelling and why not do it in style. The Holdall Bag is great to lug around the airport, big enough to fit all the clothes for the week. Add on the wayfarer to top the look and there you have it. A Very comfortable , yet stylish out for travel.

5.Mustard Plain Braces

Hey guys! sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I'm currently on my last week of recess before university starts, so I am catching up with friends and doing as much as I can before my freedom ends.

I decided that I have been doing too many casual outfits and put together this totally different outfit. I miss the old school days, sometimes I feel that the men's fashions back then was so much better than now.

This outfit can be worn anywhere, somewhere formal or just for a causal lunch/dinner. I am really in love with the shirt! This outfit is perfect if you are attending a wedding/engagement party. I feel that these colors combine perfectly, even though they are all along the same shade. I have added brown shoes and yellow braces to add a different touch of colour to the dull outfit.

Pastel

2012-09-03T22:26:00.000-07:00

Pastel colors are of soft and delicate shade. Pastels offer the perfect Spring color palette but more often than not they are worn in a tired and uninteresting way.
Are you guys a fan of pastel colors?

Vintage

2012-09-01T22:09:00.000-07:00

Vintage clothing items have always captured my interest. I think it is just something about the old / dull colors which draw me to these vintage collections.

It is always a good idea to ditch the bright colours and go back in time.

What are your thoughts on vintage menswear?

For some casual outfits please check out Topman, Burton, Pacsun and Urban O. A sensible college outfit. A casual and comfortable look. Once again, if you guys have been following me from day 1 you will know that I am currently in college. So I am always looking to create comfortable outfits for each day.

This outfit is one of them and is perfect for me. I have a place for my books, and the tank will give me enough comfort to run around the whole day at university.

My favourite item is the Suede Boot. :)

To get this look:

1.Natural British Boxing Gloves Print T-Shirt

2.Bike Embroided Pattern Shorts

3.Navy Lace Up Chukka Boots

4.Tobacco Washed Canvas Rucksack

5.Cord Cross Adjuster

A very casual look on a day out. Maybe hiking or just to head out for the day. I feel that the shorts compliment the Rucksack very well and the outfit goes very well together. The Navy blue color dominates this outfit in a very good way. Just so it does not look too plain adding a bracelet seemed a good idea.

I really think you guys should check out Burton. They have great clothing items and shoes and love their bags! Hope you guys have a good day.

1.Green Chambray Short Sleeve

4.Ben Sherman "Joev" Desert Boot

Went to an evening movie session with some friends and this was the outfit that I had worn. We had a lot of fun at the arcade and watched The Dark Knight Rises. An excellent movie , so go check it out!

This outfit is very casual and simple. To accessorize just add on some bracelets/watch. If necessary some sunglasses and you are good to go. Keep it casual. It might sound cliché but causal can transform into stylish, and this is an example. My favourite item is the shirt.

2.Green Bound Neck Vee T-shirt

3.Vintage Wash Light Blue Skinny Chinos

4.Palladium "Slim Snaps" Boots

5.Green Fabric Mix Snapback

6.Multi Coloured Laptop Case

I love the pop of green under the grey cardigan. So I have put together this outfit , of dull colors. Once again it is a casual style but as you can see works perfectly together. It is not out there or in your face, but calming and smooth. I think the laptop case also adds a pop of color to the outfit but not too much that it takes away from the whole show.

Would be a perfect wear for a casual occasion. School, Universities etc. .

Bags Bags Bags!!!

2012-08-27T19:48:00.002-07:00

It can sometimes be a challenge when you are out shopping for bags. Yes, some of us are certain on what we want, but when it comes to me I feel that different bags are for different needs. Therefore, it is dire that you are able to choose the right bag for the right occasion or need.

MATERIAL: Firstly it is a good idea to select what type of material you are looking for. Leather is usually a common one, but once again it really depends on what you are using it for. Other than leather you also have the choice of canvas, waxed cotton and a few others . It all depends on your personal style. Keep in mind that lesser quality bags will use synthetic material , which won't age well, and thinner fabrics can often fray and wear out. Look for quality stitching and solid hardware. Saving up for a costlier bag is better than buying a cheap one and getting rid of it in a few months.

NEED: What do you need a bag for? Do you need a bag to stow away your gym clothes along with your laptop, or something sleeker to house your iPad and a few files. If you commute on a bike or do a lot of walking, you might be interested in a rucksack. Gadget lovers should opt for plenty of pockets.

UPKEEP: A bag can practically last forever, IF you keep it in a clean and tidy condition. That means checking the stitching and the corner making sure that there is no wear and tear and cleaning it every few months would help. Condition leather bags and clean canvas in soap and water. (But please don't throw them in the washer, that is one way of ruining a great bag)

Keep in mind that it is the quality rather than the quantity of money that matters. I have put together some bags, some are on the cheap side, but some on the costly side. I would recommend sites like Topman and urban outfitters if you are university or school student. They have great bags in spectacular styles. However, if you looking for quality bags I suggest J.Crew, Nordstrom and Fossil. That is if you are willing to spend a lot of money.

To get this look:

1.Paradise cove polo

2.Heritage leather bracelet

3.Bay shore shorts

4.Heritage cali flip flops

I cannot wait for summer, head out to the beach in the sun and this outfit would be just perfect. Casual and comfortable is what I would describe this as. Add on some sunglasses , my preference would be the Ray ban wayfarer and you are good to go.

I cannot wait to hit the waves this coming summer. My preferred activities are usually a long walk along the beach and may be kick a soccer ball around for the sake of it. Of course who could forget the ice cold popsicles. What do you guys do in the summer?

Beckham

2012-08-25T01:42:00.003-07:00

I am not really a fan of soccer/football. But I definitely admire David Beckham's fashion. I mean who wouldn't?

David Beckham's style combines classic pieces with a trendier European look. Beckham is often seen in worn-in jeans paired with a slightly dressier Oxford shirt, sometimes layered under a sweater or a jacket. He's known to dress up a pair of jeans with a tie, and dress down an otherwise trendy outfit with a beanie.

Beckham is also a huge fan of jackets, coats and checked shirts. David Beckham's look is all about the subtle details. He always wears a belt and usually dons sunglasses.

He is a trend setter and definitely an inspiration to me.

If you are into casual outfits I would definitely recommend a closer look into his style.
