sentimental outlook
For some reason, I'm falling again for fashion male model Terron Wood. I think it's his positive aura that he brings to and off the camera. This Oregon native has been in the fashion industry for quite awhile since 2006. I just can't get enough of his natural radiant beauty. From his sun kissed complexion to his evenly toned body and to his charmingly sweet smile, Terron is one of those rare top male models that will never go out of style. What makes him the "it" boy for me is that he has a dynamic charisma with a heart of gold that makes him unique and grounded as a person. In the upcoming future, I would love to see him grace the cover of Italian Vogue with another top female model like Caroline Winberg and Derek Huckins did in issue Feb '04.
a little more higher
Are the 1990's fashion styles really making a comeback? As of right now, it's progressively making it's way back which I do hope it does. These frisky dark beige suede high waisted pleated shorts are just a perfect look on a nice sunny day out shopping. It's a new reinvented look with a more softter appeal. I personally think that brown tones always makes the suitable color for these type of shorts. These would go so well with a cream ankle boots with an oversize navy blue fringe leather bag.

Boarding School DNA
When I think boarding school, I think of young men that are well dressed in dark blue blazers with the school patch on the breasted side of the blazer. Miuccia took the whole idea and made her own visionary. Dark beige button down shirt, mocha brown fitted short trousers, & tobacco brown oxford shoes with knee high black socks. If only more men had the confidence to wear this type of look. I find it very school boy prep with a more Miuccia interpretation style. I am in need of the dark tobacco brown oxford lace shoes that can be worn how it is or with a fitted dark blue jean trousers for a more sleeker look.
city slickers
A little sheer, a hint of biker chick, & a splash of masculinity tailoring, together you get the Michael Kors look. I love the whole idea of mixing different fashion eras looks. My personal favorite pieces is the oversize men's blazer that gives contrast with the whole look and the leather semi high waisted mini skirt with studded detailing. Just a classic look with more of a harder edge that can be worn on a girl night out. Top this look with a shining black clutch with black sling backs for more of a sophisticated urban look.

a favorable Daria
It's so nice to see one of your favorite top model grace Vogue covers, especially Daria Werbowy. This year not only does she does Vogue Nippon for January 2010, she also graces Vogue Paris for February 2010. That is a true supermodel sought after. I personally love how she looks on this cover for Nippon. Head to toe Chloé Fall Winter 2009 collection pieces. The new proportions, mix of color, and the freedom of comfort. I am in need of that blanket cape coat. It reminds me of the Ten Commandments movie of Moses that he wore towards.
like second skin
It seems hard to figure out which delicate pieces goes well with other pieces? You always want to find something that is not so extravagant than your delicate piece to balance the two. For instance, the cotton silk light beige loose fit button down shirt goes so well against the black and dark beige chiffon long pleated full skirt. You can a feeling of a relaxed and airy feel without being too aggressive. It's about mixing the masculinity and femininity, together you get a whole new perspective look.

The Authenticity Pair
The most important pair of shoes a women must have in her shoe closet is a classic pair of black pointed pumps with a thin high stiletto. Not any of those chunky square heels or rounded front heels and when I mean pointed, I mean pointed like an arrow. These are the most versatile pair of heels a women can ask for. You can do a high waisted trouser, full length skirt, knicker pants, micro mini dress, or even a black jersey velvet overalls. You just can't go wrong, the looks are endless.
painting with paillettes
In this day of age, men shouldn't fear to wear things that have a feminine side. But it all depends on how you wear it. This gold sequins blazer number is just an example that you can wear it with a casual beige cashmere turtleneck with fitted black trousers on any given occasion. It brings a whole new level of statement with such a simple look. Remember, mix one bold statement with a simple essentials to bring the best of both of them.

top it off
With this Pre-Fall Winter 2010 look, you can never go wrong with a decedent mocha caramel cape coat over a neutral tone chiffon short dress with a pair of mule shoes. Hannah MacGibbon truly understands the Chloé women desire in her wardrobe. It's about the freedom of masculinity comfort with a grace of femininity. Hence, keep a minimal hint of makeup with a highlighted cheek bones and a very nude lip for a nostalgic beauty.

reinventing archives
Are the early 90's fashion styles are slowly making a comeback? Yes, but more in a modest and subtle attempt without all the who-ha. This new century of 2010 is bringing back the looseness and comfort dressing. Big comeback of the drapey wide-hip and narrow ankle trousers. Same with an oversize military long trench coat in navy blue would work with any easy day look. Remember, it's about taking a classic 90's key piece and changing it to more of an updated look.

Spaniard Blood
Mr. Antonio Navas is one of the top leading Spanish male models in the fashion industry aside of Jon Kortajarena and Andrés Velencoso. This Spanish chico hails from the beautiful city life Barcelona, Spain. With his sultry eyes and exotic dark features, Antonio has that reminiscence version of the 90's male supermodels. What I love about him is that he has that certain look that keeps you wondering, "Who is he?" He's definitely in my top 10 male supermodel list.
tasteful delight
A woman shouldn't just like her shoes, she must be in love with every pair she owns. These dazzling light olive pumps with a thick T-strap of chunky rhinestone double bow detailing featured at the Chloé Fall Winter 2009 collection. These pumps can work with almost any look whether it's folded loose trousers or a velvet pencil on any special day look. Hannah MacGibbon, creative director for Chloé knows exactly what the Chloé women wants in her wardrobe.

an unveiling masculinity
Loris Diran first menswear collection for Spring Summer 2010 was a delightful presentation. It was classic American sportswear with his own personal flair. Neutral tones mix with bright colors and patterns of classic pieces is what his Spring Summer collection was all about. I just knew I was a fan already. This light overcoat pattern print with matching belt tie, slightly loose white trousers, & crisp white collar that just made this look sophisticated with ease.
the new generation
Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Karlie Kloss is one of the top models in the fashion industry. Just recently graced the cover of Vogue Italia by Steven Meisel and Vogue Paris declared her one of the top 30 models of the 2000's. This 17 year old ballet dancer has the innocent doll like face with a modest personality. With her signature sway motion walk and stoned death stare, no wonder she is the muse for many fashion designers and photographers with her natural calm beauty and piercing stare.

classic games
Nicolas Hoult plays Kenny in the greatest hit film: A Single Man directed by Tom Ford shown here wearing this gorgeous thick cashmere wool sweater in ivory. What I find so special about this sweater is that the crew neck has a slightly wider open length and width that wearing a collar shirt underneath, it gives contrast and more of a vintage classic feel. As soon as I saw the movie, I was just obsessed with this sweater that I knew I had to have one for myself, though it maybe hard to find one since it's an original style.
