Bagging Christmas: Gift Ideas for the Women in Your Life
Does Your Style Quotient Match Your Intelligence Quotient?
Who says female office attire should still be defined by blistered feet, sleep-inducing power suits, and hosiery no different from the type your grandma wore? If, in the old days, the focus was on blending in with the boys, the emphasis now is on standing out and looking competent as well as hot. If you’re [...]
Macho, Even with a Man Bag

Removing Stains And Smells From Vintage Designer Handbags
Most designer handbags are made of strong material that could last decades with the right care.

It is thus a must to take extra care of these kinds of handbags but that doesn’t mean that [...]
How to Wear Pantyhose Like a Pro (Not a Ho)
There is constant deliberation among women regarding the little strip of cloth called “pantyhose”. Ah, yes. I’m sure you’re all familiar with that. Your mom wears it, your grandma swears by it. Some fashion gurus think it’s a major faux pas to wear pantyhose. But then again, some believe it’s [...]

Despite being trendy, despite constantly feeling the pressure to change your hairstyle in keeping with the trends, there will come a point in your life when you’ll need to let go of that blasted gel, the damaging hair straightener, or that curling iron and settle for a simple, formal hairstyle.
Achieving a no-frills, no-nonsense look is [...]

Go, Gizmo!
For most urban professionals, gadgets have recently evolved from being mere leisurely objects to things of absolute necessity. Look around you.

Men’s Guide to Choosing a Suitable Suitcase
In a sea of suitcases of every design and shade imaginable, it would take women about 3 hours and 45 minutes to find the perfect one. As for men, it would probably take 10 minutes, give or take a few.
As much as men would like to simplify and deconstruct the task of suitcase-buying, however, it [...]
Man, Meet Your Suit’s Fabric
How do you choose your suit?

Style Up and Stun with These Furniture Designs
In days of yore, offices were strictly utilitarian. People went to their cubicles to work, not to socialize or lean back and luxuriate in the opulence of a designer-decorated space. Accordingly, the choice of furniture reflected this austere, no-nonsense outlook - plain, dark, and sturdy.
Today, offices the whole world over undergo a massive overhaul. Some [...]
