A well dressed man needs at least one pair of white dress shoes in his wardrobe. White dress shoes represents clean lines with a soft edge. A great looking pair would be a slimmer fit with a pointed toe. Not any of the chunky square toe, it just doesn't flatter the feet. Best worn with a fitted black trouser or fitted rolled up jeans for more of a relaxed look.

expanding the tweed jacket
A classic tweed jacket in olive green featured at the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 Shanghai show. The tweed jacket with the 4 front pocket & black lining accent gave a new refinement in menswear. It's interesting to see a men's version of a Chanel tweed jacket since it originated from a woman's piece. But still very sophisticated and versatile to wear with any look. I hope Karl Lagerfeld will create more Chanel menswear in his Ready to Wear shows.
It's a Samantha thing....
Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) from Sex & The City, always wears a sexy tailor made suit. Usually in white or cream. I just adore her style from hanging out with the girls to walking down 5th Ave. Bright, bold, & brave are the three Samantha represents.. This amazing Versace white suit reminded me of her. Fitted enough just to accentuate the curves of a women's body.
The Movement Of a Real Women
When a women wears a blouse, full skirt, & pumps or sling backs on any day, that's what I call a real women. Theirs no need to wear ultra mini skirts or tight booty shorts unless your in Miami. But lets be real, a truly chic women needs to celebrate her femininity & her inner self without showing it all off. Remember, keep it classy and sexy comes from within.

If I was a women...
Isabeli Fontana is one one of my top favorite supermodels of all times. She is just a rare hidden gem but once shown on photographs and on the runway, she is a show stopping Brazilian bombshell. Her beauty is effortless and pure simplicity. She's extremely versatile in the fashion world whether she's struting her stuff on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show or gracing the cover twice of French Vogue, Isabeli is one undeniable women.
sea shells from the sea shore
Just one gold accent can bring life to a look. This stunning gold sea shell chain belt is a charming accent whether on a tight jersey dress or a fitted trousers. From the Versace Spring Summer 2005 collection, it was about under the sea motifs. Fake or real, gold accessories can bring an old elegance. Don't over do the gold. Remember, one gold accessory is a bold statement.
cutting to the new century
At the house of Trussardi Spring Summer 2010 Mens, their were a few blazers that had a short cut sleeve. Folded button down long sleeve to accent the short cut blazer. I think this is a new revolution of the upcoming new century. Still dressy with ease and not constricted.

...a breath of fresh air
The moment I saw this poncho dress in the Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2006 collection, I just fell in love with it. It's very different and has a modernity to it. Color palette of the cream, ivory, & beige just makes it look flawless. Thanks to Marc Jacobs for reinventing a poncho to a sexy yet chic dress. Love the details of the white ropes over the shoulder with the long fringes. Who would of thought of taking a traditional piece and making it womanly chic.

Tweed is back!
The classic Chanel jacket with pastel fabric fringes framing the jacket gave it a refreshing moment. Classic with an edge. Isabeli Fontana my personal favorite model graced the cover of French Vogue November 2009. Their was an African theme to the editorial looks from head wraps, body painting, & african accessories all combined with classic looks for this season.
the new decade of a "dress shirt"
Cerruti Spring Summer 2010 collection was all about taking a basic look and interpreting it to a new look. My personal favorite was the newly "dress shirt". It was loosely fit but still lightly snugged. Instead of a full long sleeve, it was a quarter length sleeve cut for a modern finish. A smaller and structured collar that was button up. I would add accessories such as fitted dark tobacco brown leather driving gloves or a mink fur scarf worn around the neck to give it more of that richer chic look.

Sophie is made for beauty...
Sophie Ellis Bextor is one extraordinary women that is made for beauty. Her hit song in 2001, "Murder on the dance-floor" was the it factor. I just love her music and how sophisticated she is. I am spellbound by her flawlessness in this photograph. The makeup is just spellbinding. Beautiful bone structure, sensual lips, & her luscious short black hair. Though blondes may have more fun but brunettes are mysterious, classy & chic.

The power of "Royal Blue"
Royal blue is such a bold festive color. It's a color that compliments any look as long as it's worn right. I think it goes really well with white & black or any color that balances the two. Here are some outfits that I am just dying to have for this Fall.
"The gloves are off!"
I am such a big fan of leather driving gloves. Especially the fitted ones that are very snug to the hands. It just gives an illusion of country with an ultra chic manner. You can't go wrong with them with any outfit. It's also about having sexy hands as well!

The little "cut out" black dress
Donatella Versace is so clever when it comes to womanly sexy. Keeping it classy without showing too much. I like the fact it's a fitted long sleeve pencil length skirt dress. I think the cut outs gives a sex appeal in a humble way without being vulgar. Absolutely for the woman that isn't scared of her body and dares to be known.
hold me tight
Prada always amazes me with something new each time. This time, the Prada logo buckle belt with the wood lines details is such a genuine statement. Giving it a modern yet vintage feel. Can't deny the exquisite hand crafted medium brown woven leather.
