The Modern Woman.

You can never go wrong with wearing a black and white Chanel day dress. This Chanel dress featured on the Chanel Spring Summer 2009 Ready to Wear collection was my only favorite. I love the white detailing of the  shoulders, front V shape, cuffs, and hemlines. The black bow tie with the ribbons hanging just adds that signature Coco Chanel look.

I am just mesmerized by this black and white stripe top with the huge flower up front that Carrie wore on Sex and The City (An American girl in Paris). Very simple and ultra chic. Sexy without trying to be sexy is what makes this style effortless.

sophisticatedly woven!

The elements of these Bottega Veneta woven leather loafers are almost couture. Who would of ever thought of woven leather loafers? I think every man needs to invest in a pair of high quality loafers. These would look effortless with a pair of short fitted trouser or folded trousers.

I am in love with these Sergio Rossi mens strap flat sandals. The detailing of these sandals gives them an urbane feel. Why not wear them even during the fall winter season with a pair of loose trousers.

Classical Times

Not like the other Fedora hats, this fedora hat has more of a 1950's feel to it. Classic and never out of style. It's one thing to spice up a look without looking overly done.

flashy shoes!

It's a great investment to have a few pairs of bright colored dress shoes. These electrifying red oxford men's shoes by Sergio Rossi are one bold statement. Best to be worn with neutral tones such as: white or black.

La Perla clutches!

Even though La Perla is an ultra chic Lingerie brand, they launched these timeless clutch bags. In 5 different colors: black, royal blue, purple with black lace, lavender, & teal. All with an extraordinary sapphire gem and metal design detailing flap.

Leather Envelopes!

Vibrant colored leather envelope clutch by Kate Spade are a must accessory for a women or man. Just big enough to hold your everyday essentials. Great to wear with any casual day and weekend looks.

"A woman should always celebrate her femininity at all times." Oscar De La Renta Spring Summer 2005 was a celebration of how a women wants to feel when she's out on the town whether she's with her girlfriends or being single and fabulous. Oscar had a  whole wide range of every women he would dress. A women going to work, on a yacht, playing sports, cocktail hour, or going to the opera. I absolutely love his entire collection. It brought such diveristy for every women. My personal favorites were: the red tie dyes/zig zag print, nautical clean lines, indian chiffon prints, bubble dress with a casual basic fitted tee, and the ultra chic dresses with so many choices to wear to any formal event.

Clean Edge!

Driving Gloves? Maybe not for driving but just to add a different touch to a classic look can work. I think it brings a certain sophistication. Especially if worn with the right look. I think white driving gloves would look great with a navy blue rolled up sleeves or a  gray sleeveless shirt.

Valentino Spring Summer 2005 Menswear was about being sharp, masculine, & refine. The collection has a bit of a military feel with a touch of a romantic side. Taking the basic elements of a trouser or shirt and adding a refreshing flair to it. What I love the most about this collection is the color palette of the khaki, sand, white, military green, and olive. I personally love the floral print the best since it goes with anything without looking too overly done.

Key items: short trousers, fitted trousers, trench coat, v-neck sweaters, & floral prints.
