Everyone owns one, & everyone wears them in their own way...

The ultimate garment, that you can never have too many of, and that you can always have memories attached to them. From prints, logos, quotes, pictures and even embellished, the style of t-shirts are always being recreated. 

Many people collected t-shirts from certain events or occasions, whether their music, arts, fashion or personal events, a t-shirts is something you can always keep and wear again anytime, and anyhow. 

Many celebrities and designers use them to send out strong messages to the public. The perfect blank canvas easily modified into something that suits you. 

Heres some of my favourite T-shirts available now in stores: 


  • LANVIN, £640, Embellished t-shirt (available at net-a-porter.com)





  • MEADHAM KIRCHHOFF, £130, Printed t-shirt (available from net-a-porter.com)


  • ZARA, £22.99, Open back printed T-shirt, (available from zara.com & in stores) 






SKarman's T-shirt Look:

One casual day, after attending an epic concert the night before of the famous Roc Nation musical brothers, Jay Z & Kanye West, I decided to incorporate my unforgettable experience into my next day look. 

After purchasing a t-shirt from the concert, as a statement of momentous from the extravagant evening, i decided styling it with my leather armed parka, blue jeans and wedged sneakers which I am a total fan of lately, simple adding to the casual and laid back mood that any t-shirt brings. Still in the electric hip-hop vibe that I experienced the night before at Watch The Throne concert, I believed that sneakers were the only choice. And Sunglasses always, of course! xX


So experiment with how your work your t-shirts, and remember you can never have too many.-

Chanel - Cruise Collection 2012-2013 

Karl Lagerfeld Strikes again!

Mr Karl Lagerfeld present the phenomenal Cruise collection, in the beautiful Parisian backdrop of Chateau de Versailles. The models strutted around the beautiful Palace gardens in Chanel's newest creations, many fashion celebrities joined the front rows of the catwalk show. 

Karl Lagerfeld brought a brand new themes to the ever iconic Chanel chic, keeping some signature Chanel looks and adding a new, fun and edgy contemporary spin on the collection. 


Karl said that "It’s serious revolt. It’s not at all 18th century. It’s very rock. You can hardly recognize the girls." He has transformed the looks of the models, replacing their locks, with sharp and short bangs wigs, with an added rebellious touch of colour from purple to strong black. 

From dark shades, to lights pastels, denim and embellished details, Karl Lagerfeld was truly inspired by the rock 'n' roll edge, but still was able to keep the looks flowing with femininity and class. Loving the balance of structure on the top of the outfits, and more of a care-free feel to the bottom half, from loose pants and full long shirts. 
The accessories included double 'C' beauty spots, that were featured below each right eye coherent to every model, which marked the brand very gracefully. 


Lagerfeld closed the show with his signature look frock coat and dark shades. Once again Chanel delivered absolute iconic sophistication in every look.-

Pura Vida Bracelets


PURA VIDA BRACELETS
Made in Costa Rica

The ultimate celebrations of culture and a country, with its vibrant colours and unique designs, there thread bracelets are perfect for summer gateways and beach parties. 


The great business adventure that started with the strong bond of two friends, who planned to celebrate their graduation by hitting the exotic beaches of Panama and Costa Rica for 5 weeks, where their beautiful surroundings and simplistic culture and lifestyle inspired their stylish earthy bracelets. 

They witness a local man weaving a colourful bracelet by hand, in such a simple yet affective way. This ordinary bracelet transformed into an American beach style, now selling in many surf shops, university stores and boutiques, it purely reflects the bright and regular culture of the easy going beach bound Costa Rica. 

I am a big fan of thread bracelets and the major characteristics they individual hold, seeing these Pura Vida Bracelets, whisks me away to cool wave winds of the ocean and the gold sands of paradise. 
Pura Vida bracelets are crafted by the local people in Costa Rica, to present the essences of the rural area and its people, from careful selected beads to colours. The bracelets offer a new attitude to life, when you realize the amount of effort and dedication that is put into every weave of colourful thread. 

'PURA VIDA' means 'PURE LIFE' in spanish!-
