Looking back 2013

The other day I blurted out ‘Thank God 2013 is over!’ as if this year was my worst. As you know I had a rough couple of months and was eagerly waiting for 2014 to start fresh and correct the mistakes made. It was obvious I dwelled only on the shitty things that happened to [...]

GEOMETRY LESSONS

December 29 2013

I know nothing about geometry except the fact that I like it on clothes. It’s certainly my preferred pattern over floral prints because of its minimal look with maximum impact.

I promised myself last year never to DIY my wrapping paper and Christmas [...]

ISABEL MARANT FOR H&M BOMBER JACKET

December 15 2013

Isabel Marant for H&M is probably the most successful H&M collaboration yet. I first mentioned about it here paying particular attention to this bomber jacket. I managed to get pretty much everything on my wish list and have been waiting for the right moment to showcase this showstopper. Channeling a cool Marant attitude, I went for [...]
