In our ongoing effort to ensure that the urban professional remains well-dressed and properly groomed and presented, just as nature intended him or her to be, we will now continue to discuss the rudiments of the wristwatch, an often overlooked but extremely important aspect in the overall look of the average yuppie. This time, our [...]

When To Wear Which Watch Part II – For Men
Name That Handbag!
If you think all handbags are created equal, think again. Each handbag is its own person; it cannot be helped that some handbags are more equal than most. As a matter of fact, handbags are so unique it’s a crime to lump them all together and call them by one name alone — handbag.
You see, [...]
The Battle of The Wrist Watches – Brand Names or None?
It is the battle of brand name wrist watches versus the department store brand-less wrist watches - which do you think will win?
Crazy Or Creative? You Be the Judge!
What’s in a design? Plenty — and we’re not just talking of clothes, handbags, and accessories here. Design, wherever it may be found, can range from the ridiculous to the sublime and elicit a wide range of responses from “Eew” to “Aaah” and even “Get out of here!”
Today, let’s take a break from suits, sunglasses, [...]
How To Pick The Right Perfume
In an average elevator ride, you can either find yourself tortured to death by suffocation, or blissfully dreaming of fresh ocean breeze and summer meadows. Scents make you experience all these things - and more.

The Urban Professional’s Guide to Mixin’ and Matchin’: Which Shoes Go with What?
Call Carrie Bradshaw at home while she’s out on a soiree and her answering machine would tell you, “I’m not home but my shoes are. Leave them a message.”
This might seem ridiculous - downright batty, even - but not when you understand what a huge part of the female psyche shoes are. The shoes have [...]
When To Wear Which Watch Part I – For Women
Different occasions call for different ensembles. This includes the clothes you wear, the handbags you tote, the shoes you walk in, and even the watches you tell time with. Watches, however, are very easy to overlook in favor of more noticeable apparel and accessories. As a result, most looks end up being incomplete and more [...]
Five Office Wear No-Nos for the Urban Professional
I’ve been writing mostly about what you SHOULD wear to the office. It’s high time we cover what you most definitely SHOULD NOT wear to the workplace. Here is my roundup of office wear no-nos.
1. Flip-flops
Someone might have casually dropped the word “casual environment” during the interview but don’t take this as an invitation to [...]
That Little Black Dress!
The little black dress is timeless classic. From casual lunches to black tie affairs, the simple but chic LBD transcends time and trends. It remains as stylish now as it had been in the 1920s when no less than Coco Chanel established it as the fashion frock must-have for heiresses, working girls, and the women [...]
Your Sunglasses and You
As an urban professional, you naturally have your own distinct personality. This shines through in your choice of clothing, shoes, handbags, and even sunglasses. If you want to know what your sunglasses say about you, read on to find out!
Sunglasses: Over The Years
No matter how many people will claim that sunglasses are for the explicit purpose of eye protection and care, it still doesn’t ring true. People – man, woman, and even child - buy sunglasses for fashion, to be admired by all and sundry. Here are some of the most popular styles of designer sunglasses over [...]
Kill Your Career with These Handbags
Quirky is cute but not when you take it to the office. To be taken seriously by your colleagues and bosses, it’s not enough to be efficient. You have to look it, too.
Of course, if you’re trying to get fired pronto (because if you resign, you’re required to give two month’s notice and there’s this [...]
