Shop Til You Drop April 2011

I'm getting fashionably cosy, a la winter ready, reading the April '11 edition of STYD. Tempting textures of leather and shearling coupled with a heavy dose of denim set the tone for what's to come in the cooler months ahead.

Now, don't let the sometimes daunting and generally overwhelming experience of denim shopping get you down. This issue's self appointed 'denim doctor' (p. 83-101) is all over your cut/wash concerns and will give you the right amount of direction to get you to the perfect fit. Tip of the day- "the aim is to find out how they feel in real life… test for snugness (p.84)." In a nutshell, this issue cries 'there's no excuse to avoid denim' this winter.

But how to look smoking hot in winter minus the chill factor? Again STYD will have you covered in a luxe array of long sleeve velvety options (p.130). As the season generally calls for a copious amount of layering and if you want to avoid the expense, head to 'cheap and chic' where your budget will be catered for. To get 'the look' try the 50 tricks to tweak your wardrobe (p.108).

Here's to forward thinking. This month STYD has got not only you covered but also your home and man. For some home economics, refer to 'the renter's guide to decorating 'which I found to be a bit bible-esque right now as I just moved into my first rental apartment last week. Moreover the convenient 32 page 'Shop Man' guide will leave you with expert tips to be actioned immediately.
