May 14, 2009
Yes, it has been awhile (like 2 months) since my last posting. However, Qlixlist has not been abandoned, but is in the process of becoming a full fledge website component to the Fall 09 debut of Qlix magazine. Stay tuned…

ShirtsMyWay.com
March 18, 2009
On the newly launched website, founded by Michael Yang and Peter Crawfurd, ShirtsMyWay.com offers 7 trillion different custom dress shirts with a made to measure option to ensure a great fit. Though the target market is obviously toward the fashionable gentleman, ladies do not think that you can not benefit from this innovative concept. The “boyfriend shirt” has never been so accessible and electic through your own custom design preferences. Definitely worth becoming an addition to any stylish lady’s wardrobe.
Off to Colophon…off to Luxembourg

Fashion’s trickle up theory…
March 10, 2009
Because it is much more fun browsing the Internet looking at inspiration (fashionable) from all “walks of everything”, as opposed to “living on a prayer” in the T&A sector of men’s magazines – yes I work for a men’s magazine. I came across an article in Men.Style.com on Arlo Weiner, the 8 year-old stylistic muse and son of Matt Weiner, creator of television phenomenom – Mad Men. I see him as the industry’s (fashion) trickle up theory in hopes that a many adults will take heed on establishing your own style.
Definitely check out the slideshow of Arlo’s impeccable sense of style. While clicking through the various images, I am amazed at the fact that this young dandy can articulate his fashion sense and style into words better than top-notch fashion journalists during the various fashion weeks.
Arlo's blend of prints is absolute.

Don’t QUOTE me on it…
March 9, 2009
Qlixlist on occassion will be highlighting quotes that they come across that makes us laugh, cry, or just say wth? Jean-Paul Gaultier takes the “Don’t QUOTE me on it” debut with this following quote from the Yahoo News article Pink won’t be friends with designers who use fur:
“They piss me off because they’re violent,” Gaultier said. “Frankly I don’t give a damn. I will continue to do fur, I love doing fur.”
Jean-Paul Gaultier
Gotta love the French’s honesty.

Need to know…about FashionConfidential.co.uk
March 9, 2009
My adoration for all fashion international doesn’t just stop at Australia Vogue or London Fashion Week, but the continues to grow as my constant search and find of online boutiques builds. To explain in laymen’s terms and not like prose from an Emily Bronte poem – I’ve came across Fashion Confidential. I love it and like it all at the same time. Very hard for me to do.
Keeping it simple in these economic times, I’ve browsed the “sale” (my favorite word) section and have found several gems that would upgrade any wardrobe. To give a hint of what I’m talking about, I’ve provided a little visual stimulation. Enjoy!

Styleserver.de
March 3, 2009
With the American dollar fairing a little better against the Euro, one can’t help but trek overseas for her or his fashion fix. A good stylist and friend of mine – Gemma Cummins, has gotten me hooked to Styleserver.de. A Berlin based online boutique with an eclectic array of independent designers you normally wouldn’t even find in the most discerning of social circles…and that’s a good thing. 
The price range is a bit on the expensive side, but there is nothing wrong with a bit of a splurge here and there…right? Plus in times of a recession it is best to buy clothes of quality aside from quantity. I’ve posted some pics of my favorite looks below. Check out this site soon, before it becomes tooo mainstream. Enjoy!
“The ruffles gives that “Lady GaGa” edge without being too over-the-top.”
Ulrika Sandstrom donegal dress - 180 Euro
“I’m a sucker for unusual prints and scraves. So versatile.”
Comtesse De La Haye silk shawl/scarf - 79 Euro
“I would so buy this dress in both the black and white colors. So Alice in Wonderlandish.”
Majaco lace corsage dress - 248 Euro
