Many men turn their nose up at the thought of ‘accessorising’ when they are already unknowingly doing it. It’s not difficult do but it is difficult to get the right balance. We take a look at how best accessorise what you are wearing, be it formal or informal.

Ties
Choosing the right tie is about finding the right contrast between shirt, tie and suit. If you are wearing a neutral suit and shirt don’t be afraid to wear a brightly coloured or patterned tie.

If you are wearing a patterned or coloured shirt then your tie should complement it. Don’t mix patterns, they clash. In order to complement your suit or shirt with your tie choose colours from the same spectrum or opposite ends, for example pink and blue works well together.

Scarves
With so many different styles of scarf and ways to wear them it is hard to decide when, where and how to wear them.

Casual Wear
Try something colourful or patterned which is directly in contrast to what you are wearing. If it is a silk or fine knit scarf try the ‘Boho’ style, in which you tie it around your neck at least twice and tie a knot at the neck.

Formal
Known as the ‘Traditional’ style this is simply draped around the back of the neck and down the body, tucking either side underneath the lapels of your jacket or coat; looks great with a formal suit jacket.

Belts
The selection of belts available to men is larger than ever with interchangeable buckles and belts now common practice.

It’s difficult exactly how a belt should be worn but as a rule of thumb reserve your leather belts for more formal occasions.  For a more casual situation, when wearing items such as chinos or jeans try a canvas belt, or a woven leather belt to find that balance between formal and casual.

Cufflinks
When it comes to cufflinks this is a completely personal choice and is something which allows all people to show a little bit of individuality. Just be conscious of the situations in which you choose to wear them; for example, wearing your favourite football team might not be the best idea when you are going for a job interview and your interviewer’s favourite team happens to be your archenemy.

Accessories allow you to play with different styles. Everybody has their own preference when it comes to accessorising but this is the beauty of it.

Stars Hubble Print Space Skirt - IT’S A WILD THING! (by Angela Ricardo)

Who doesn’t love cosmic prints? The weather surely had gone from sunny and bright to muggy and snowy. Despite the weather going wild, that didn’t stop me from enjoying some time outside. :)

I decided to match the wild weather outdoors with a LIon printed crop top (I feel like I’ve gone wild as well) and what better way to tone down an all white surrounding —-a cosmic print skirt that makes me shine like the stars in the sky. :)

Steal this look!

Most of you know that I have multiple blogs that I manage and try the hardest to keep up with. I know my blog isn’t the best, but I am not giving up to provide quality reads and content here. My blogs is not just about blogging, it’s about me as well. I invest my time, effort and heart to making sure my blog is up to date and have content that is worth reading or checking out.

This is not rocket science for anyone whom had been blogging already before tumblr had been born. It’s not like it is super easy to simply blog about something of different topics or ideas. Tumblr does have bloggers who shares personal thought, photography of certain themes, but mostly dominated or reblogs of different kinds of pictures and animation. Maybe its just me, maybe I am getting old already which is why I can’t for the life of me force myself to simply reblog just about anything. Is that a crime? Somehow I still want to keep my focus in the same niche combining personal thoughts, and photography reblogs related to my blogs focus.

The photo I have used is taken from my stay in Lakenheath and it feels like the time just froze there and made me realize I need to make better use of my time.

Many of you have sent me queries regarding fashion tips, style questions and how to monetize your blogs. Honestly, there’s really no right or wrongs on fashion, you just have to go with what makes you comfortable. Fashion is a statement, you can express yourself in any way.. If you’re looking into upgrading your closet or simply to add on to your current wardrobe collection you can check out Aeropostale and for deals I rely on CouponCodes4u to help me save on my regular shopping tab.

For those of you who want to earn from your blogs all I can say is it takes time. You have to invest time and effort before getting there. You can’t simply just earn from a new blog. You have to build your rank, traffic and backlinks. My best advice would be to focus on your content, just blog away and enjoy. The monetization just comes as an incentive later on.
