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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
