My blog is a representation of my thoughts and ideas, a daily documentation of style, an outlet for my editorial creativity and simply, my love for all things sartorial. Style, for me, has always been a representation of my personality. How an artist expresses his emotions through his paintings, I express my ideas, my opinions, and my individuality through my content and naturally, this blog.
