This past uncharacteristically warm September Sunday I was free to do nothing beyond serving my own existence. As an inner London habitat having days without any scheduled commitments can be rare as the British summer itself. Whether it’s enjoying a glass a pimm's with a cone of chips and breaded coley overlooking the Regent's canal or attending a private viewing in Mayfair there is always

Every story has a first chapter. Some stories as still being written for years and decades on, but others come to an inevitable end much sooner. The last chapter of Berkley Magazine is short. It began with a warranted design and layout overhaul that went live on the 2nd of January 2010 but come to a conclusion a little over three months thereafter.The candle of passion for art, production and

Although petrol-headed car enthusiast, Berkley Magazine decided to forgo attendance of the hybrid bonanza at the annual Geneva auto show that took place last week. The consolation is owed to GQ Magazine and Citroen who knocked their heads together and held a private auto show of their own in trendy and vibrant Covent Garden, where the Hospital Club played host to an unveiling party for an

Animal friends in ever house and jungle tent in the world must be in horror shock over the sight of raccoon tails dangling below the waist of straight faced models during New York fashion week. It’s like a Disney nightmare come true – Thom Browne, a living male Cruella de Ville skinning animals for shopping pleasure of the elite.Before we all fly to JFK with buckets of red paint in hand, it is

Coach building is a virtue, which dates back several centuries to a time when man and machine were in the early stages of becoming truly engaged. Names such as Rippon, Barker, Carrozzeria Ghia and Chapron decked the lime light in the era of peace and love. In essence each firm wildly exhibited a unique style, grace and a forthcoming character in the automobile industry.However, just like with

This is a weekend of tender love, flavoursome chocolate and rose petals floating on the surface of temperature controlled water in which a man and a woman will fondle in a fusion of love. Valentine’s Day is dedicated to man and woman, Adam and Eve, and anyone else who want to commemorate their emotional relationship with another human being.Love makes the world joyful and the world go around.

Male vanity has long been stigmatised and even 7 years after David Beckham, the epitomizer of male vanity, opened gates to narcissism and made it acceptable for men to wear V-neck t-shirts with deep cleavage – talking publically about your beauty morning regimen is still controversial in the lightest sense.Pastime boardroom discussions rarely extend beyond the borders of shaving hardware about

The new Historique Ultra-fine 1968 and Historique Ultra-fine 1955 wrist watches are sterling pieces of Swiss engineering by 255 years old watchmaker, Vacheron Constantin -- but because their discrete nature, they are likely to slip under the radar of watch buyers.

Every year there is an up stick of new labels wanting to squeeze their clothes into already saturated, but popular department stores.

At several times in our lives we reach a stage when we are fully content with our range of carefully chosen clothes in the wardrobe. In there are sneakers, brogues, loafers and shoes for every possible occasions – and suspended above them are shirts in our favourite colours, dark jeans, light jeans and even track suit bottoms for casual stay-at-home-Sundays. All of which fit us to perfection but

Welcome to the year 2010 and a refreshing new blog! 2009 was inarguably an eventful and rocky year. The entertainment industry lost the highly lucrative and amazingly talented Michael Jackson, and an aspiring terrorist lost body tissue in his private areas during a failed attempt to blow a passenger filled Airbus A330 to pieces.

Headaches come only 2-3 times a year, I have no recollection of the last time I had fever and neither do I have a medicine cabinet – in fact I haven’t even had chickenpox which frightening given the dangerous affects it has on adults.

The great depression of year 2009 is officially over as billions of dollars worth of bailouts and quantitative easing yields the ultimate dividend – carrying the world’s largest economy, the United States, out of recession with a 3.5% growth in GDP between July and September.

What can you do with £30,000,000? It’s enough money for an early retirement supporting a jet set gigolo life of glitz, parties, and ostentation for a good three of four decades. Wise savers would exchange the 30 million for roughly 25,500 shares in Apple, and see their investment yield a prosperous annual increase of 25%. Why not spend the money on an ocean front house in Monecito California,

Audi’s design team must have rulers and protractors as favourite drawing tools given the neutral Bauhaus appearance of their cars.

Black is the default option for the most frequently used clothing items such as wallets, shoes, belts, socks and anything that is required to impeccably look right with everything else in our closet. It’s a colour of safety that makes us feel strong and benevolent in situations where we feel most insecure. For certain items, black can be too uniform and lacking in identity for accessories such as

They do shopping, we buy clothes – they dress up, we get dressed. Who are they? Men and women. Clothes serve the same function for both sexes – to preserve heat and protect the body from injury or harm. But there are empirical differences between what t-shirts, jeans, skirts, jackets and shoes mean to the distinguished genders. It’s to the extent that supports the much heard saying “men are from

The summer has finally arrived but has temporarily retracted it’s presence from London. Substituting the sweltering heat that drew bikini wearing women to parks for binge tanning, grey skies hovering over the city and chilly winds now makes us leave home with an extra layer of clothing. But one bag item that is certainly not missed is a mandatory 500ml water bottle for topping up the body’s water

A letter from a loyal reader tumbled into the email inbox with a humble request for articles on fashion that’s more in touch with what normal wallets can afford. Given that the financial markets are still going through a gloomy period bleeding helplessly as the people are clinging tightly on to their jobs and their every penny they’ve got. Although this blog strictly cover high-fashion, nothing

Today, Sunday the 24th of March, marks the finale of one and a half weeks of glamorous festivities on the sunny French Riviera. Warm up began with the Cannes Film Festivals where A-list Hollywood stars, directors and producers converged on European soil and put their latest motion pictures up for critique and scrutiny of top film pundits. Drifting east of Cannes along the coast of France, the

The morning and night grooming rituals are overlooked and are positioned far down, right above removing dust behind the TV, on the priority list for chores. Given that man is the fastest gender on earth it is forgiveable to not give the body a vain and lengthy Patrick Bateman spa treatment every morning.

I have a weakness for watches, I adore them, I want to own them and admire them while falling asleep after a long day of typing. The psychological symptoms of this everlasting obsession is that I can’t help myself from gazing at people’s wrists, playing a solitary guessing game with myself trying to identify the any watch my curious eyes have locked on to.

Anxious about an event it can be depressing realising that what’s in the closet have already been worn a million times, and the thought of chopping through crowded jungles of shop in search for something to wear makes the head spin.

As always fame has a tendency of trickling into overexposure. Brilliant artist and amazing music producer Kanye West dipped his toe into the deep sea of fashion a few years ago.

United Kingdom’s golden boy, Burberry, became victim in a retail robbery where the brand was partially seized by Chavs. It’s logical that you haven’t seen the word in the English dictionary as it’s

Themed watches have the same appeal as a new flavour of Ben&Jerry’s, the first sight of it leads to an instant crush that can lead promiscuous consumers to spread their wallets wide open in the blink of an eye. Falling in love with this brilliant Top Gun branded IWC Pilot is a €9 200 non-recession friendly affair that will last longer than typical themed product that morph into an object of

Having prominent facial hair with an ability to grow colossal side burns have made Hugh Jackman a well suited actor to play Woolverine in the X-Men movies. Buff as a henchman Hugh looks strong enough to do 15 push ups with a fully grown kangaroo taking a power nap on his back.Not very noted in the world of style a pleasant surprise was in store for fans at the New York premier of the movie “

It’s time to revisit the mother land, not mine but the blog’s because it was in a large air-conditioned flat in Orange Country where I gave birth to this very blog.

The photograph above might tingle the memory bank in your brain, and yes indeed do the clothes look familiar. From Burberry Prorsum’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection it’s worth reviving photos of the unforgettable trench coats Christopher Bailey presented in Paris almost one year ago.Recently I have had an encounter with one of the jacket and saw the daunting beauty photographs are unable to

Women and bags share a bond stronger than handcuffs. Telling a woman to leave her home without a handbag is like asking a divorce and destructive police officer to work unarmed, it’s an improbable occurrence. Understandably women need a bag to carry one or two tampons and an emergency makeup kit in case they miraculously stumble into a member of Backstreets Boys who invites them over to the

50 years back wearing a wrist watch was a privileged that only the wealthiest in society enjoyed. Mechanical engineers thrived on taking part in the arms race that was going between watcher makers around the world who were all fighting to develop the most accurate mechanical watch. All the excitement came to an end when the battery powered quartz watch was born in the late 1960s and achieved

This year television hasn’t been anything other than splendid. Sex and the City the movie, Gossip Girl and “Mad Men” have sucked women into the worlds of fashion perfection, while men have looked up to Batman, James Bond and Iron man for a template of the perfect man.In spite the overwhelming selection of movies for inspiration, there are two movies that have stood out more than the others and

Christmas spirit in non-existent in London, celebration comes the day after Christmas when the sale frenzy kick starts.

There are certain things in life that were designed for women and should solely be used by them for eternity.

Such products include thongs, mascara, knitting kits and skirts.Wearing something

In the recent 15 years 4x4’s have gone along way. From crossing muddy terrain in Africa and South America, to becoming the number one enemy of tree huggers.

The difference between men and women is that men buy shoes because they have to, while women buy shoes because they like to. The average woman has more shoes than there are days in week. Given the amount a torture a pair of shoes have to withstand, worn out or uncared for shoes is the most common taboo amongst men. Filthy or damaged shoes automatically cancels out any dressing effort made on rest

Karl Lagerfeld loves coloured clothes but only as long as they are in monochrome. Inconsistent in his consistency of only dressing in black and white, catching him dressed in a colour you don’t see on a chess board is worthy of celebration.
