Dare to Wear

The newest trend amongst men seems to be the man bracelet! From the rosary style beads, to the ultra lush leather braids, the silver clasps, the cuff, the precious stones, and the metal work, the man bracelet has become the newest accessory next to the watch. Right now its seems as though everyone is jumping on this trend, from the master of silver David Yurman to less expensive brands like Forever 21, we have seen this new bracelet trend emerge and transform on wrist right before our eyes! 

With so many different styles available, there is no way you cant get a little man power going with this daring move. It was just yesterday that rap mogul and self proclaimed fashion icon Kanye West was photographed wearing a Cartier Love Bracelet and a few Egyptian style gold bangles, the highlight of his outfit. I'm sure we can expect more men to make this daring move and show a little more fashion sense in the wrist department. Perhaps trying a tailor made suit with something modern and chic on the wrist besides a watch... But just case you cant hit it off with Cartier or Yurman here are a few of my shop around favorites!

Time to Bundle Up!

Seems like fur is a never dying trend of the winter time and each year it just gets better and better! So why don't you join in?! Fur coats are no longer limited to grandma's long mink that she once paid $3000 dollars for many moons ago but they have evolved! Coming in all shapes, sizes and colors and have they become the chicest thing to wear with a cheaper price tag. No longer remaining in the $1,000 dollar or better range, you can now find faux fur that is just as warm and perhaps even nicer for under $400. So get out there and get some fur. Its time to bundle up and dont forget to spruce things up with your own personal style!! And if you cant think of anything try a small belt, a colorful scarf, or broach and maybe even some sky high heals if your feeling daring!

Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 RTW

McQueen's Gothic modern day twist the Victorian styled gown, was a hit for me on the runway. The use of leather bondage straps and high enclosed neck added the story to what was seen as virtuous and beautiful in earlier history. There is something very sensual about all of these gowns without been overly sexual and it is well executed and appreciated.

Remembering Spring Trends Luca Luca

-Luca Luca Spring 2011

I was browsing some of my favorite fashion trends of Spring 2011 and I remember really falling in love with the Spring 2011 line of Luca Luca. The muted color palette and flowing fabrics are in such strong contrast with the newer trends of bold color blocking and modern angles. I think the beauty of feminine colors and fabrics is what draws me to Luca Luca and to clothing in general. I love to see a woman walk down the run way and look as if she is floating. Beautiful.
