Everything? Is that a valid answer? I mean let's take away the obvious ones for the time being - my Mum dying, losing the rest of my family, snakes, being sick, small spaces, the word moist - and instead let's delve a little deeper. What am I truly scared of? I feel like I'm going to come at this with a two pronged approach so bare with me. Prong one: failure. I'm not going to go fully into my daddy issues at this stage (although maybe that is something for a future post) but essentially I grew up knowing that my biological father didn't love me at all. He loved his alcohol and he truthfully wished I wasn't alive. I think coming to terms with that as a child and a young adult manifested in me a real fear of failure. I mean if my own parent couldn't love me then fundamentally there must be something really wrong with me, right? No amount of counsellors, friends, family or loved ones trying to tell me the exact opposite can really change my mind on this, and w...

Would I even be me if I didn't name blog posts after each new The 1975 release? No, no I would not. *patiently waits for October & the release of Music for Cars* Continuing with The 1975 theme for a sec (humour me) - I find it weirdly coincidental that the band that's potentially changed my life the most (it's a toss up between them and Enter Shikari at this stage) release new music every single time I'm going through some pivotal life change. Their first album coincided with a break up, new job and whole life overhaul. Their second album coincided with my move to London, and apparently their lead single off the third album is coinciding with my decision to move home and all of the crazy, weird transformational stuff I'm going through right now. I mean, at least it gives me some sort of warning I guess. Now I'm wondering what October has to bring... Anyway I've hugely digressed from what I wanted to write about. Essentially the new song is called Give Yo...

Fashion trends come and go and we all tend to get hung up on the latest ones and feel the urge to buy everything we see in shops’ windows. That’s how you end up with a bunch of clothes after each season, fill up your wardrobe but still regularly complain about not having anything to wear. There are a few tricks that could help you reuse clothes you already have and save you some money at the same time. It’s no big secret – some tweaks here and there can add a whole new dimension to a single piece of garment and bring any outfit to life – as well as your entire wardrobe. Take Inventory Of Your Closet Regardless of how much clothes you own, somehow you always end up with a few pieces in the often rotation and forget about the rest. It’s no wonder you get tired of your wardrobe so make sure you take inventory every once in awhile, not just for seasonal rotation. Take everything out, fold it again, and sort it by colour, style, or purpose. That way you’ll know where you’re things are – wel...

Everything you do represents your business in some way. Even before you open your mouth and start explaining what do you do and why are you the best at it – people make assumptions about you, based on what you’re wearing. This may seem petty, but it’s the way human mind works and therefore it’s something you should pay attention to if there is an image you want to project. Boost Your Confidence Looking good is about more than just vanity. It’s about getting ahead in the world. Think about it as investment in your self-esteem. When you like the way you look, there is a pretty good chance you will act with more confidence.  And the truth is, if you project confidence, people will treat you differently. This obviously doesn’t mean that dressing well can replace being good at your job or being polite with your coworkers. But there is a kind of feedback loop there – there is a way for you to boost your confidence by projecting a look of a confident person.  Be Meticulous If you pay...

Almost everyone owns at least some sort of accessories. Whether it is a designer bad, or a cool pair of shades, a nice watch, everybody has something. You might even spot two items that look the same, but there is one big difference. One of those is a fake. Maybe that person knew that it was a fake, or maybe they didn’t. However, this doesn’t have to happen to you. Here are some steps you can take to spot counterfeit products and avoid buying them. Price The price of the item should be the first indicator of the authenticity of the item you want to purchase. If something is too good to be true, it probably isn’t true. If the item you are looking at is way below the regular retail price, then you can be almost certain that it is a fake one. If those cheap items were authentic, how did companies like Hugo Boss, Armani or Versace get so rich? Of course, everybody loves to bargain and get a good price. But there is a big difference between getting a good price for an item and getting rippe...

For better or worse, movies have always had an impact on pop culture and that impact naturally extends to fashion. Some of the most cult films, regardless of what one might think of their cinematic value, are not only still being watched, but their fashion influence seems to only get stronger with time. Although it is safe to say that Mean Girls and Clueless have left a substantial fashion imprint over the years, it appears that The Craft is the one movie that has managed to fully encapsulate all the ‘90s fashion trends.  In honor of their major comeback to the today’s fashion scene, here are the five most prominent style lessons from The Craft. School Uniforms are Hella Sexy Who said school uniforms have to be dull? These girls clearly prove otherwise. Aside from the mandatory plaid skirt, the uniform style is highly alterable. Lose the tie and unbutton the white shirt a bit, or better yet, ditch the shirt altogether and replace it with a white t-shirt featuring a bold print. Some...
