WHAT SUITS SHOULD I BUY DURING SUMMER?

September 21, 2016

It is essential that a stylish gentleman looks sharp when he’s in his double breasted wool coat as his summer suit (without sweating). It is undeniable that linen suits are the best material when selecting your summer suits. Linen fibre is 30% stronger than cotton and is extremely breathable compared other materials. So when it’s time to replace your 10-year-old cotton garments, now you know that you have your double lasting linen in the long run!  As 2016’s summer is approaching, Calibre Australia has released their new Spring/Summer collection pieces including this Ecru Linen Blazer in a warm stone colour. Compared to Calibre’s previous seasons, the blazers in this season have a more fitted cut for me as the sleeves and waistline are slimmer in size. Normally, I would wear a size 38 but due to the nature of linen, I have selected the Ecru blazer in size 36 for a tighter fit.

CHECKING IN AT ELEMENTS OF BYRON RESORT AND SPA

August 20, 2016

Jiawa and I had a great time at Elements of Byron Resort, starting from their restaurant at our checking-in. A seasonal, organic, local styled and healthy oriented breakfast menu plus you can choose to enjoy your meal from either sitting at their newly designed restaurant, looking out their stunning infinity pool, warming up next to their fire pit or checking out closely to the fire oven.  When you are enjoying your meals here, dont forget to really check out  and feel this place: Every aspect of the resort has been informed by the location and landscape. The main pavilion follows an organic and feminine form – low impact, single story, blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. In this way, it mimics the forces of nature; there are no harsh lines, every built form feels responsive to the elements – hugging a central space, or leading to new discoveries.
