Ever since I started working last year and, like the majority of the world, started living "for the weekend", Sundays have become a sacred day in my calendar. It seems to be the only day of the week when one can find time for thyself, find peace and reflect on the week that was, and the week ahead. Of course it is also a great day for catching up on reading.
This week's Sunday Reading post (now renamed as "the fashion monocle" series) is the first on Kaleidoscope of Fashion. It is designed to be a gathering of a collection of interesting posts from around the web and almost always, the articles will revolve around fashion.
Kicking off today's post is The Evolution of Women's Workwear, which, quite literally, looks at how women's office looks have evolved from 1899 - 1999. Interestingly some similarity can be found to today's work wear - blouse and knee-length skirt anyone?
Speaking of evolution, check out Style.com for a look at the evolution of the Army Jacket, tracking some key moments for "camo" or the utility trend through fashion and pop culture.
Finally, there is Chanel, which has been generating a lot of buzz lately with the release of the new No. 5 commercial featuring supermodel Gisele. But something that is not as widely known is the video series Inside Chanel. It's basically a crash course through Chanel history, with snippets of videos detailing various aspects of the brand. From insights into Coco and Karl to answering ultimate questions such as "why is the Chanel symbol black and white?", this makes for some serious fashion appreciation. Check out my favourite chapter below - the Colours.

As we look forward to the week ahead, a pause and a moment in prayer for the master dressmaker, Oscar de la Renta.
Among countless others who paid their respects, a beautiful and candid obituary was written in the New York Times to honour this great man.
Thank you for the beautiful dresses and the eternal elegance.
