Are You Men Fashion Victim?

I still remember what Karin Eldor, fellow fashion correspondent at AskMen.com defined fashion victim "someone who takes all the trends of a given time and ends up looking like a store mannequie; or to put it in simple word, absurd".

So here are some quick tips on how to avoid being the victim.

You to Define Yourself
Wear what you think looks nice on you, not what others dictate is trendy. You should always feel comfortable with what you're wearing, so stick to items that suit your personality and regular style, all while keeping the occasion and setting in mind.


More Do Not Mean Good
Don't overdo it. Even if your body type does lend itself to wearing trendy garments from head to toe, it's not a look you want to adopt. Buy several fashionable items every season, and mix and match them with the basics in your wardrobe. It's a smart and cost effective way to look your best every day.

Don't Buy Because of Brand
Try to avoid referring to your clothes by their designer label. By dissociating the item from its manufacturer, you will condition yourself to look at the item itself rather than by swayed by a brand name.



So remember next time, before you decide to purchase a new item, ask yourself if you are buying it because it's "in style" or because it genuinely suits you.

Watch Out for Zoolander Effect
Don't suck in your cheeks to look chiseled and never wear your sunglasses on raining day or no sun, or going for clubbing at night.

A crazy mix of fashion for the December screensaver


December feels vibrant, courageous and whimsical. It's about borrowed jeans worn with fantasy shoes and brightly dyed hair -an Indian inspired fresco backdrop - expressing the eastern worlds enriching a western individuality. The Parisian dragonfly pins, and favorite men's hats and caps, seem to play into the right looks for the festivities as we enter with great hope the end of 2008 and into 2009.

Tips for Shopping Online

Tips for Shopping Online. Have Fun Shopping For Fashion Online. If you're wanting to experiment with a different fashion style than you're used to, you can have a lot of fun shopping for fashion online. Shopping for fashion online is fun because you can peruse various stores, styles, colors and fabrics all with a click of the mouse. That means you can buy several different wardrobes all with a few clicks of your mouse and there's no walking around the store, there's no driving to the mall and it can all be done while sitting comfortably in your office chair. So if you love to shop, but you don't like the act of shopping, you'll have a lot of fun shopping for fashion online.



Finding Stores

You can have fun shopping for fashion online by just visiting the websites for the stores you're used to visiting in your local mall. Major department stores and even little stores all have websites nowadays. You can use your credit or debit card to have fun shopping for fashion online and you never have to leave your house or go to the mall to fight all those crowds and lines. With gas prices so high today, it's a wonder why more people don't stay home to have fun shopping for fashion online.

Convenience

The best part about having fun shopping for fashion online is that you can find what you're looking for by shopping various stores, all with a few clicks of the mouse, order with your credit or debit card and then you can have those items shipped right to your door. If you pay a little more for shipping, you can often have those items shipped to your door in one day. How easy and convenient is that? Instead of going to the mall and wandering from store to store, you simply sit in your office chair and have fun shopping for fashion online and you never have to leave your house.
Return Policies

You should make sure that before you have fun shopping for fashion online that you check to see if the store you're ordering from has a return policy. When you have fun shopping for fashion online, you don't have the luxury of trying things on like you do at an actual department store. You may find the item of clothing doesn't fit as you thought it would. So make sure you're able to return any items that don't fit or that don't work for your body or skin tone so that you're not stuck with the item and you're not out that money.

BECAUSE OF THE RIOTS...

in Bangkok, the international airport is closed! So instead of Thailand, I decided I'll visit Indonesia. I'll arrive on Saturday in Jakarta where I'll spend a few days and maybe swing by Bandung later on. I'm getting used to tropical heat, though. To be continued...

Man Fashion: Designer Bags for Fall/Winter 2008

Winter season means restrained elegance. Long gone will be those bright, flamboyant colours and wild prints. In place will be smart checks, rich textures of leather, tweed and wool. I think our taste somehow changed as new season kicks in. Do you agree? McQueen Check Wool Travel Holdall So here is one lovely bag to lust over for this coming season. A beautiful check wool and leather holdall that embodies what winter weather is all about. Elegant, somber, nice mix of heavy check wool fabric and rich tan leather. Accented with decadent gold buckles against greys, browns and in a classic shape, all contributing to make this bag a wonderful winter travel companion. Comes with a shoulder strap for ease of carrying as well. This bag will go well with those thick winter coats and wool pants that keeps you snugly warm. Paul Smith Brown Soft Briefcase With Green Leather Trim and Detachable Shoulder Strap I have always been fascinated with laptop bags. I am constantly on the lookout for a stylish, chic soft briefcase type bag that doubles as a laptop carrier and yet can function as a day bag for holiday sightseeing. Something that works through night and day and be complimentary to a lot of looks is important in my criteria. Now Paul Smith Brown Soft Briefcase With Green Leather Trim just fit in the bill. The green color leather trim adds a dash of color but the deep shade of the green somehow does not make the bag too casual. It is elegant, classic and yet modern and playful. The external flap pocket with inverted studded strap opening look stylish, and is easily for retrieval of commonly used items and perfect for passports and flight tickets.

SYDNEY - bye-bye australia, paddington, 11/25/08




Australia has been a brillant adventure. I found on this continent more uniqueness and personnal creativity that I would have expected and more that I usually find on most of my trips. In the match Sydney vs. Melbourne, I'm afraid not to be able to decide who's the winner. Both cities have got a high standard of refinement, just in two different ways. Conclusion, I'll be back here soon.

Sarah Harding Pixie Cropped Haircut

Sarah Harding Pixie Cropped Haircut. Sarah Harding haircut is one of the sexiest haircuts around. This sweet little cropped style is a show stopper and one of the best celebrity haircuts of the year. Well at least in my opinion.

Her haircut has long fringe bangs in the front that sweep across her eyes. The cropped style frames her face beautifully giving her the best style for her face shape.
