Men in Coral

I know next to nothing about menswear, except for what is pleasant to my eyes. And I’d decided a long time ago that I like men who wear pink - it is my personal litmus test for truly attractive men; if they can look good in pink, they get an official certification for hotness.
If pink [...]

The Phenomenology of Body

In social sciences, absolutely everything has a political and/or sociological significance. Everything is a construct and nothing can be taken as given. Depending on how you look at this, it can be either very exhuasting or very stimulating.
Stephie always says that fashion is invigorating because it is one of the few areas where we are [...]

Bow-spiration

Inspired by Stephie’s humongous bow, and in line with my current obsession with renewing the old, I unearthed two boxes of hair bows from my childhood! They’d been languishing in a drawer for the past 15 years or so.
My mum was determined that I shall have long hair because her own was unsuitable to be [...]

Making Your Own Threads

Bloggers customizing/altering their own clothes is old news. It seems the fashion blogosphere and the DIY movement is intricately interlinked. Successful DIY projects proliferates rapidly, which is fabulous because great ideas are meant to be shared anyway

Clearing Out the Wardrobe: Knitted Shrug

I don’t know what came over me, but I decided to clear out my over-stuffed, ultra messy (but there is order in my chaos) wardrobe. There is simply no more space in it - I have dresses hanging off the knobs of my doors! If for nothing, the situation is driving my mother mad…
And good [...]

Talk about Versatility

A couple of weeks back, I was brought to attention to a piece of clothing by Tweeds, our menswear writer. While I seriously lament the lack of menswear news here on Fashion Nation, I get pretty regular jolts of excitement when I read about some seriously cool items.
He showed me some photos of a Junya [...]

That ‘Last Piece’ Mentality

You know the scenario - walking in to a boutique you see this absolutely fabulous __________ (insert your own fashion poison: bag / pair of shoes/ dress / jacket / necklace / etc.) which you know you want. It is a fragment of your sweetest dream, and stirs an emotion in you which you never [...]

FIERCE II: Better Late than Never!

Although Stephie beat me to it, but I’d finally gotten my fierce shoes as well!

Walnutsrice analyzed the difference between the Gladiators and the Fierce Shoes. She came to the conclusion that fierce shoes are characterized by extremely high heels and buckles. I guess if we go by this criteria, this pair from Nine [...]

Dandyism and its eccentricities

Lately, I have taken a fancy in discovering the identity and history of the Dandy. After reading countless articles on dandies, I will have to confess that I am nowhere nearer to understanding the essence of the dandiacal man.

Backtracking a little, let’s briefly examine the dandy in general. He is a man who is wholly [...]

The Dress

If you have been reading us often enough, you will know that I wear a lot of dresses. Other than the fact that I’m pretty lazy (and thus throwing on a single piece of clothing is appealing), there are a lot of other stuff that I like about the dress
Mostly, I love that [...]
