This is fashion

Fashion has such a weight and it is so antique that Seneca, a roman philosopher of the 1st century AD, once said “We live not according to reason but according to fashion”. What he means is that fashion shapes society not reason, and this is very much true. There isn’t any reason when fashion is involved because if there were then fashion would be dictated by reason and then it would become fashion less. Fashion predates reason. It comes from within and it rises and it shapes the world like some uncontrollable force. Fashion comes from the unconscious. It has to do with beauty and not with reason. If fashion was dictated by reason then it would all look the same. If fashion was dictated by reason then no one would pay the high sums asked for a dress, for a pair of trousers, for a handbag. If fashion was dictated by reason then Miu Miu bags would bore and unoriginal, no one would buy them, no one would replicate them. A replica MIU would not exist because original Miu Miu bags wouldn’t inspire someone to replicate them and anyone to buy them. Fashion comes from the sheer force of creation, from the deepest realms of imagination. Fashion inspires, fashion makes people spend thousands of dollars on a handbag, something that for a reasonable mind sounds like insanity. Fashion inspires others who try to copy it. Like a Miu Miu handbag is created and then comes a replica MIU which is sold at lower prices in markets, in stores, in the internet. This is the cycle of fashion, it will never die and we live happy in it. This is fashion.

Shopping for Camping

I love to go on outdoor activities, I love to camp, to hike, to go to the mountains, valleys, caves, rivers, mountaintops, underground rivers and the likes. I simply can’t stop myself from these kind of activities. This has already been a part of my personality. Loving the adventure.

For my safety, I make it a point that I have all the gears necessary for my protection. I always bring the necessary stuffs complete. Like harness, first aid kits, trail shoes, medicine, emergency equipments, emergency tools, outdoor equipments and everything needed. I make it a point that my backpacks well-equipped and totally complete in terms of safety gears.

I don’t hike without my hiking boots, it is a very important gear in hiking and mountain climbing that I only realize when I almost died in an accident. Sometimes people really need to commit mistakes before learning. I also did and I learned well. So now, I don’t go outdoors incomplete. I go outdoors well prepared and well-equipped.

I do the shopping on-line, I get the goods delivered right to my address, practical and convenient for me. What more can I ask. Like my new hiking boots, I bought it online and got it delivered to me in just a couple of days.

TIE Tips

A tightly-knotted, shabby tie will never enhance any man’s image. A well-designed, warn-coloured tie with a large knot sends out a more positive message. To test whether a tie is well made, hold it up by its smaller end and see whether it twists or hangs straight.

Ties should touch the top of your belt buckle when you stand straight, never above or below. A silk tie should always be properly untied and not simply slipped of without undoing the knot. Hung up overnight, the creases will straighten ut. For work, always use a silk tie and not a polyester one.

Combining colours with shirts or suits

Your shirt should be lighter-coloured than your suit.
The tie must repeat the color of the suit , shirt or both.
Wear only two-colour families. If you wear a navy blue suit and pink shirt with a red tie for instance, you have three colours on you.
Wearing a plain shirt with plain trousers and a patterned tie is the most common combination, but you can also combine two patterns with one solid colour (e.g. a striped shirt and a patterned tie with a plain jacket).
