As winter approaches, our clothes become thicker and thicker and the colours become darker and darker. It is perfectly natural for us to be drawn to wearing dark clothes as they absorb more heat and keep us warmer during a cold winter day. There are a lot of ways on how you can keep warm yet still look very stylish in the next months and…

It’s an age-old cliche: women gets back at man by publicly shunning him while looking insanely hot. Unoriginal it may be, but this fragrance campaign for Roberto Cavalli is like a guilty indulgence.
