Someone suggested that I should start a personal style blog. And I thought to myself, "Why not?" It could be really fun. Or not. Anyhoo, this is my little hole-in-the-wall of vintage finds, style obsessions and the sort. Let's not take things too seriously around here, shall we?

Go Bolo Not Yolo
POSTED ON : Wednesday, 15 May 2013
So if you guys haven't already noticed, I love turning to accessories to jazz up an otherwise plain boring outfit (I'd like to think so). I believe more and more guys are doing just that nowadays but there are very limited options. On my quest to explore new accessories that we boys can play around with, I finally found one that's not too loud yet emanates its own flavor of uniqueness. Enter the bolo tie.









The bolo tie has origins in the American West - yea these folks are too darn rugged for neckties, bowties or cravats. I love how it has a certain rustic charm that's not too overpowering at the same time. It really is a simple accessory that brings the whole look together when worn right, don't you think?

One of the reasons why I am so intrigued by the bolo tie is the room for creativity they offer as an embellishment. Just look at the different variations of pulling it off.. Pair it with a suit for a classy look with an old Western twist or pull the clasp lower down the chest for a casual laid-back vibe. Just hanging it around your neck regardless of what you wear already makes it more town-appropriate. I kid. 

That said, these aren't very commonly seen around in Singapore yet. The only one I managed to find is this Texan bull's design that I'm wearing below. Reckon it will go well with denim. I know there isn't much to see from this picture but I promise you this ain't the last you see of me with a bolo tie. BOLO~

MatteHatter's Wants: Nike "Digi Floral Camo" Sneakers
POSTED ON : Wednesday, 3 April 2013
I am hardly a fan of sneakers, let alone skateboarding sneakers. But there are always exceptions, aren't there? Enter Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski. This one blew my mind straight off and I've been eyeing them for a while now.




What you see here is a witty combination of seasonal floral prints and pixelated camouflage accents. I am totally digging this rad hybrid that Stefan Janoski (he is a pro skater by the way) has created. This is where my money is going to end up this month. In other words, I must get my hands on this awesome pair of kicks. Watch me.
