This weekend on the street, with Jiawa from Beige Renegade, we are twinning in burgundy. Burgundy, dark wine, or maroon has been so big and popular this year, it is like the “IT colour” after dusty pink, there are so many designers and labels are doing burgundy. Even the crazy popular Gucci Princetown slippers has burgundy and pink colour.

There’s no doubt that when you don’t wanna get out of bed and go to work, imagining that faded white office cubical that separates identical sets of tasteless stationary and furniture that your boss got a good price on, probably doesn’t help. There’s nothing like the excitement of a home office that’s so “Pinterest-interior-porn-material” that you’ll find hard to resist spending unhealthy amount of time in it.
Here at Bloggers Boyfriend x Beige Renegade HQ, we’ve redesigned our space more oftan than our outfits, literally. Watch out, it may be completely different tomorrow, again.
However, no matter how many changes we make around our creative studio, Jiawa and I are always sticking to our minimalism roots, with a combination of Scandinavian style feminine modernism and Melbourne’s industrial warehouse inspired masculinity. Housed under this light filled concrete and glass creation by Perth local architect David Weir, listing, moving and drilling is going on day and night.
All the men in the world won’t all pick the same coat just like you won’t pick the same ( kinda) boyfriend. Some people like long heavy wool coats and others, light-weight and easy-to-carry coats, just as some would prefer Tom Hardy rather than Leonardo DiCaprio.
You think you might as well get a cheap one, what’s the difference right? Do you want a cheap boyfriend too? Picking out a coat is just like choosing your boyfriend, if it won’t affect you for your whole life at least will affect you for 3 month, more or less.
After living in Sydney for three years and travelling to Sydney on a regular basis ever since, I can’t believe I only recently discovered this breakfast hotspot and business lounge. Now you will see me every time when I am down town!
Colour pink or nude hue is definitely the colour of the year. There are way too many choices, you can’t find two menswear designers are using the same hue or material. It leaves us with so space for creating something extremely new and with a twist of our very own personality!
If you worried what to wear to traditionally feminine Oaks Day, here is advice from Calibre: Take a masculine twist with appreciation for the finer details.
Embrace lighter hues and adopt a tasteful pastel palette. Bring out your adventurous side with splashes of bold patterns and prints and you’ll be in for the win.
Pair a gorgeous natural linen suit with a slim fit European cotton shirt and finish the look with pastel accessories and polished tan leather shoes for a fool-proof ensemble.
Words such as “work”, “hurry” or haste” don’t seem to belong in the dictionary at Assembly Label. Assembly Label is your very own sanctuary, even on a weekday. Everything here is relaxed and can be minimal if you want it to be.
The simple and straight cut on that denim jacket collar, the softly crinkled linen shirt and the smell of their craft paper.
Recently I had a friend in his 30s came to me for wardrobe advise. He’s one of these gents who dress expensive but does not lose bit fun in their outfits, always buy smart casual and classic pieces when shopping for their clothes. Like he’d dare to try some fresh trends and colours such as floral, pastel, pink, bright maroon and mustard; but he’s still very much into polo and cable knit kinda person. I recommended him a pair of Uniqlo camel trousers, he looks at me confused: “Really? looks plain and boring”.
We need to understand, for brands like Uniqlo Australia, it is not a designer brand would bring you runway statement pieces, but it is the brand helps you to pull off runway statement pieces and build up a lifestyle, it is a brand about low-profile, back-to-basics entertaining. Every garment mirrors the way a minimalist feels a great life should be: comfortable, slow, sensitive and engaging.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It helps to set the mood of your day. Imagine you are finally in Sydney for a night or two and get to meet your date or whatever, where to bring her/him to that very first impressive breakfast spot though? You gonna have to write me a Thank-you-letter or a big cheque if you really think below is a great idea. (Email me for my bank details for easy direct deposit, wink wink)
