Vivienne Tam’s Laptop: Form Meets Function

My laptop is, well, a Fashion Hobo.  When I bought it, its sleek black-and-silver form coupled with a brand-new sound system was the pride of my desk!  4 years, 23,491 essays and one unfortunate encounter with a Russian textbook later, it definitely falls under the euphemism “grunge chic”.  To be blunt, it has all the [...]

Custom Jeans For $135?! Well, Sort of…

A few years back, custom jeans were a pipe dream. Accessible only to the rich, the uber-fashionable or the sewingly-inclined, custom denim was an uneccesary luxury.

I Love the H&M Early Autumn Collection

Ever the conoisseur of cheap wardrobe staples, I dropped by Swedish giant H&M today to check out their stuff. I was quite impressed. The North American stores just aren’t (I’m told by many) as great as the European ones, but it seems like there is some great stuff there – you just have to be [...]

How To Tie A Necktie

I have to do a post on how to tie a necktie before someone strangles himself. Every day, countless guys wake up and start their day by wrangling themselves what one of my friends refers to as “the upside-down noose” – in other words, the common necktie. Depending on your occupation or the occasion, you [...]

My New Clothing Racks and Things I Want To Fill Them With

After moving house with a broken foot, I have a great new room and I’ve set out to decorate it loft-style. The thing is, it didn’t come with a closet (huh!? must have been a den previously). Luckily, the room was saved by my parents’ idea of putting in exposed clothing racks on the wall. [...]
