PARIS // In One Day
If it's your first time going to Paris and you will be there for only just one day, then this article isn't for you. For one, I would discourage you from doing it. Like most cultural cities, Paris is like a fine wine that needs to breathe, be sniffed,...

OBSESSED / Karl.com

OBSESSED / Céline Fur Muff
These faux fur muffs shown on the Céline fall-winter 2014 catwalk earlier this week are divine. They were presented in an array of colors - mustard, sable, and taupe - but we like it best in pure white.
#PFW / Rihanna
With a new black bob and killer outfits, it has been hard to miss Rihanna who seems to be anywhere and everywhere all over Paris during fashion week. Having attended all of the major shows - Balmain, Chanel, Givenchy, Stella McCarttney, Lanvin, to name but a few...
IN CLEAR SIGHT: Warby Parker
Hey, sometimes being hip can be really expensive. Those thick tortoise hipster frames at Persol start at around $350 and up. Heck, I recently bought a pair of Dolce Gabbanas for over $400. It's such a commitment. I mean, what if you want to...

SNEAK PEAK / #MFW14
So far one of the buzziest things to happen at Milan Fashion Week was yesterday at Fendi's show where Karl Lagerfeld presented dolls made of fur that were suited up just like him -- mini-Karls, if you will. Another reason why we love Karl.Here is the pic that...
WANG / Objects No. 4
Alexander Wang's fourth collection of 'Objects' has just gone live and we are kind of obsessed. Dubbed as 'a curation of personal items that fit into our daily lives', I guess somehow I will have to work some of these quirky items into my daily life because,...
VENICE / Aman Canal Grande
You arrive by boat (as one should while in Venice) and enter the historic palazzo by the formal porta d'acqua as guests have over the centuries. Then as you sweep into the vast reception, you will need to take a minute to pick up your jaw off the marble...
BRIGHT ideas

BERLIN / Bikini Hotel
Named after the Bikini-Berlin building in which it is situated (sorry, bikini-clad staff is not a requirement of this hotel -- although I am sure that guests are more than welcome to roam about in their own bikinis), this new kid on the block in one of the most...
MOMENT OF / remembering Lee
Four years ago today I was shocked to my very core when I learned about Lee Alexander McQueen's early passing. So much talent, still so much still ahead of him. And as the fashion world is gearing up for yet another season of shows, new faces and...
X STRADA / #NYFW14
We love this clip of a fashion-goer wearing ear bling at New York Fashion Week. Of course her curl-hawk allows us to take full notice of the art on her ear, which is why it is not something that is easy to pull off. Plus there is the oversized round...
