We love Style Steals!

For all the exam stress that might affect us all and for the majority who had to deal with deadlines in the office, there is a little "demon" in us that is tempted to bring us some retail therapy and relieve our wallets of the cash (and max out credit cards too!). But then somehow, we will want some sales to bring out the willingness to spend even more strongly! Which is what Matchesfashion.com have in stall for us every week. With alternating weeks selling styles at affordable prices for both women and men, what's not to love?


We love the few items below:


This knit jumper by this stylish fashion house sure has lots to offer. With the reflective sheen in the jumper at every angle, this style piece is an investment worth checking out!

Fine knit jumper by Yves Saint Laurent


Not having enough basics to cover your summer warbrobe? Fret not for this shirt that is ready to dazzle us with its clean form and casual silhouette! Taking you from day to night (just wear a blazer to go), it is a versatile piece indeed.

Stripe shirt by Marchand Drapier



A coat which has shiny buttons and a belt to add some chic deserves a a place in any fashionistos' warbrobe!

Black Mac by Dunhill



This shoe by Jil Sanders is tres chic with the wooden soles and the minimalistic shape with its round tip. Pair it up casual for a garden party! We recommend it for office use too, if you love to mix and match with colours!

Calf leather penny Loafers by Jil Sanders



While dark colours is the theme for this season, which this jacket fits perfectly into with its texture and drapes, the fact that you can pair this off with eye popping neon coloured clothes and accessories should be a good enough reason for faith in this piece!

Suede Jacket by Maison Martin Margiela





By the way ladies, do not miss on the last chance to grab some affordable style steals!

This sleeveless leather jacket from Acne should get you excited! Rock chic never looks this easy!

This jeans and top by Alexander Mcqueen and Burberry Prorsum are two really stylish pieces to add to your wardrobe collection. Tuck the top in or out to bring on a different interpretation of casual chic and rock with it!

Oki Doki ni

If there is one online retailer that I would go to for the latest in Menswear and timeless pieces, it has to be Oki-ni.com. Their love for quirky style and never-ending pursuit of originality impressed us a lot with an awesome selection of mainstream designers and contemporary ones alike. From the extreme creativity of the Japanese (e.g. Kolor) to the minimalistic and grunge tendencies of Northern Europe (e.g. Raf Simons, Jil Sanders, Acne), to emerging designers such as Satyenkumar and Mr. Hare, all that oki-ni.com seem to offer are exclusive and innovative in their own right. They also stock a pretty good collection of street styles such as Superga and collaborations which are hard to find and are one of a kind! That is why it never fails to amaze us everytime we return.

Raf Simons is the name for contemporary design with mainstream flair. This blazer from his S/S 10 collection dazzles with adequate amount of grunge and impeccable tailoring. A stylish alternative to all the designers with their usual offering of boring cuts and conservative tendencies.

This t-shirt with strong bold lines in the design has ignited the minimalist in us. Just imagine pairing it off with a pair of skinny jeans or black trousers with hi-top sneakers and shoes.

Long - Chronology Black Tee

Love this ring set already! What more to diversify your wardrobe with this flexible accessory! Wear it together or separate in any amount you fancy!

Martin Margiela Rings set

If this does not already win you over to the delectable Kolor collection, then we do not know what else can. This shoes made with the most luxurious materials will travel far with you and complement any extreme outfit or toned down chic!

Kolor Cowhide details loafers

Quirky frames add a touch of fun in any outfit. This collaboration between Linda Farrow and Damir Doma will blow your mind. The attention to detail is an added bonus to anyone who value craftsmanship and timelessness.

When we say Oki-ni.com has surprise in stored for us everytime we check it out, it is the ability of coming up with the most interesting items to cheer us up in times of that tickles our fetish for innovation. Just like how the eye-popping colours from this camera convey the aesthetics of the store.

It is not just the update of new items and innovation that impress us, the fact that their sales are worth checking out always keeps us anticipated. The select pieces from the sale are definitely gems which cannot be found anywhere else except on Oki-ni.com! We love so many of the sale items that we were hardpressed to present the best of the best!

We made no mistake when we say that Raf Simons always have something immaculate to offer. It is not just the mixture of youth subcultural undertones with European aesthetics, it is the way that the collections convey which fascinates us. This blazer is a winner indeed!

Update your Summer wardrobe with more colours with this long sleeve t-shirt by Gaspard Yurkievich. Such intensity of the colours when contrasted, a staple in all experimentalistic fashionisto's wardrobe!

Who says drop-crotch pants are only for the tall and long-legged? Even average fashionistos can rock this trousers! With the

Multi-pleat pants by Satyenkumar (£78)

Minimalistic or not, this pair of Linda Farrow X Raf Simons Oki-ni.com exclusive is to die (for)! Great for this season's grey and dark colour themes and an investment piece for years to come!

Add a dash of pizzazz with this subtle brooch by Damir Doma. A great accessory to any dressy event!

Strategic Boot-ing

After a few days of boots-searching, we've come to the conclusion that we would never find a pair that we would cherish with our life or wear it out til its heels wear off. So while doing some online store browsing, we chanced upon this beautiful boots by Strategia. They say mens fashion should be subtle and sensible. But what happened to being flashy and outrageous? Being creative with your outfit should be a given right and designers should understand that not everyone wants to conform to the traditional sense of sartorial pulchritude. That is why it is so hard for us to choose a particular designer to follow because in one way or another, we know that some seasons would not fulfill this undying need for innovation. But of course, up-and-coming designers should be given a chance to expand beyond traditional tailoring and be creative, from coats down to the basic T.

Therefore, when we came across this highly covetable piece of fashion jewel, we knew that it would impress us. The materials used in these shoes: trends such as studs mixed with weave belt and buckle, scrumptious leather and suede to enrich the Lux factor. The last season's use of added heel height is here to stay, absolutely helpful for those without confidence in their height. Fierce yet easy to wear from casual day to debaucherious night out. Our vote for style and wear for years to come!
