Emmanuel's my eldest brother, and a major influence of mine in the style department. His ever expanding wardrobe is adorned with pieces ranging from high-quality tailored jackets to an array of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers; not to mention, his precious collection of time pieces - an obsession he had assumed from a young age. His style has matured (and improved) tremendously over the past few of years, crediting the uprising of The Sartorialist and fashion inspired-overseas trips to Japan and Europe.

I admire the fact that he's never a slave to fleeting trends and sticks to classics, only adapting pieces, like his jacket buttons, to revive them. Thanks to him, I've finally learnt the importance of a good tailor and along with Michael, always get his opinion before purchasing a new item in my wardrobe... Everyone needs an Emmanuel in their life! 

Easter Time

 should be doing uni work right now, but I can't really bring myself to open up a book.. How I love procrastinating!

Anywho, much fun was had over the Easter weekend, the particular highlight being my eldest brother, Emmanuel's birthday party! The beverages were flowing and the food was in abundance, with access to Harry's Cafe de Wheels for a cheeky pie or hot dog, just around the corner.

Everyone was in high spirits and top form. It was also exciting to see everyone step up to the style plate - I took plenty of outfit pictorials, so stay tuned for that post.
