My Levi’s 501

Today, I am feeling fiercely independent and empowered as a woman. Don’t worry, I’m not about to spew all my emotions (I have many) on what it is to be female, but instead let me share with you some reasons why today is special. One – the music scene has recently been LIT up with incredible and jaw-dropping displays by Solange, Angel Olsen, and Banks. Each of these women are unique in their own genres, with potential as high as the heavens. If you can, take a moment to indulge and watch/listen to their latest sound and visual art: 1….

3 Fall Essentials You Need

And just like that, we’ve hit the fall season like a young pup hits a screened-door. Caught off guard and slightly confused. You can deny it all you want, but temperatures are dropping and necklines are rising – it’s almost time to even put your aircon away, gasp. Trust me, I’m just as annoyed as you are. I only got a tan twice this summer: the first was during a 150 mile fundraising bike ride under the blaring sun, who gifted me the most direct and unmistakable farmer’s tan via our team jersey. I then spent the second opportunity trying…

Topshop is bae.

To this day, I can still remember the first time that I walked into a Topshop. It was 2004 in sunny Singapore, and they had just opened their flagship store on Orchard Road. Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ came blasting through the ceiling speakers, as I ran my fingers through their spring / summer selection. At the time, I barely had a grip on the concepts of style and fashion, but I picked a cut-out sleeveless black blouse that I still own to this day. Seriously my roommate calls me a hoarder, but I like to think of it more…

The High-waist Trousers

Comfortable High-waisted pants, a seemingly clever oxymoron as true as a Civil War. That is… until you meet these pale blue trousers. With its loose fitting form and soft mix of material, the high waisted trouser slips on like a dream, providing cloud-like comfort throughout your day and night. These pants are easily my #1 go-to when I’m looking for something that will clean the lines and bring a look together. The cropped leg also shows just the right amount of ankle to keep the proportions of your body on fleek. THE UTILITY: Since a high-waist is designed to cover…

The Turtleneck Tank

On Tuesdays, we wear Turtlenecks. Just kidding, but seriously nothing defines a utility item better than a well designed basic. And I’m not talking about that particular pumpkin-spice-latté kind of basic (yes, the season is already approaching).  I’m talking about a high quality, comfortable and truly ageless piece. THE UTILITY: I cannot express with words the immediate sophistication this top will bring. The fabric creates a form-fitted silhouette with clean tailored lines and automatically elongates the torso. Just watch, once you slip this piece on, you’ll be wearing endless combinations throughout the seasons and years. Featured: T by Alexander Wang / Ribbed wool turtleneck…
