It is official! I am obsessed with Alter, the boutique right across from me. How do I know? well, here’s how: Despite the fact that I already bought this particular tee from there last month, once I found out from their blog that they have a new color of the same tee, I went straight into the store and buy it, and that is only a few days after I bought a pair of jeans and a funky shirt from them!…

I don’t know why but this Valentine’s Day seems to affect me more than usual.  So to counter that, I use the oldest solution in the book – buying myself a gift! I already have quite a few of items I want, but none of them I can get my hands on instantly.  So I went downstairs to my trusted boutique Alter and picked something out that can wear it immediately!  I got this really awesome Cheap Monday Hector Check shirt that not only is hooded but has this really cool front piece in place …

January is the best month to shop for clothes. This January is specially true. You got the regular factors: 1) seasonal change – retailer need to get rid of all the winter clothes for the Spring season; 2) New collection – They also need to clear out all last year’s style for the brand new year’s new collection; Those two are already good enough reason for them to have the biggest sale of the entire year. This month though, has two additional factors that further push …

Many people suffers from impulse buy, me included, but i believe it doesn’t affect me as much as I thought. Maybe it’s because of my obsessive research everything nature, most of the things I bought I usually have my eyes on it for weeks if not months. Most of them are on my shopping list way before it ends up in my hands. Take yesterday for example, I went out to do some shopping after I carefully studied my fashion bible. I figured in order to …

One thing that I did not expect about myself is how obsessive I want to be stylish. I am not even good looking. I don’t have a face or a body that is good for fashion – unless everyone want to be ridiculously skinny without any muscle. Continue on with my fashion craving after the spring scarves, my focus now is on finding a better summer look – the season that I hated the most and the season that I never know how to dressed.
Obviously I need …

I think becoming liaison to the fashion department at work is not doing me any good at all. Cos given how serious I take my job, you know I am going to spend a lot more time getting to know the subject matters so that I can communicate with faculty and students better. Now I know I have fashion sense, but I don’t have any formal training nor knowing any terminology or methodology of the industry, the workflow and such. I know I have a lot to …

Now that I am officially the liaison for the Fashion department at work, and with the compliment I received last week.  I expected I will get a question eventually.  So I have prepared a statement just in case someone somehow ask me THE question.

Q: What’s the secret to my style?
A: It’s no secret really, my style is easy and affordable.  I have a formula for my style: It’s a little bit of hipster, a little bit of Asian, add some European, and a dash of gay.  
Q: Can you go …

I have always been obsessed with bags! Of all the accessories a guy can have, I am not obsessed with hat, tie, gloves, scarfs, ring, or necklace, but only bags! Be it messenger bags, laptop bags, backpacks, they just drawn me in like no others. Maybe because I used to have hours of commute and the need of bags as necessity transform into obsession? I dunno what was the cause, all I know is that which ever brand name store I went into I can’t help …

I am so over Express now. For a while I gave them the benefit of a doubt, but seasons after seasons they still continue the same design trend that I don’t like at all. After this weekend’s shopping trip. I finally declare it this shop is over! It just seems like the current designer for Express is obsessive with skulls and lions and put nothing else interesting in their clothes. No matter if it’s a tee or a polo, it’s always skulls or lions with …
