Tightly Tied

Our men like variety in their ties.
They want different textures, fabrics and patterns, one tie for every occasion.

Today, not only are ties a part of the dress code in many offices, they also became the very favorite accessory for men to explore their personality and question their ability to create the best outfit.

Armani Collezioni

Weather you decide to tie a four-in-hand knot or a Pratt knot, a half-Windsor knot or a Windsor knot, you will look amazing.
And by the way how about a Kelvin tie knot?
The whole purpose being to choose the right knot for each tie.
Men are fancy too and they also have different ways to show their personality.

For a classic look opt for a neat pattern in fine silk.
For a night out a fine Italian silk tie will bring  a new level of versatility and style.
For an afternoon barbecue at your bosse's a nice striped and slightly sophisticated tie will do.
For standard sophistication a checked silk tie will be an excellent ally.
Finally for a superior retro style choose a pattern of tonal squares in fine Italian silk.
Anyway if you like what you see in the mirror, you are probably on the right track.

Fall is near, treat yourself!
I have only one thing to say: Never without my boho!

Sleeveless Vest

Do you feel it already?
The air at night is not as warm as it used to be. Unfortunately the end of summer is near.
Sleeveless vests are here to help you go through the transition.
These gently shaped jackets are whatever you want them to be.
Serious or fun, classy or cozy, shinny or sober.



Choose a tailored blazer with high neckline and stand-up collar when you want to be taken seriously, a macramé vest with fringes and asymmetrical trim for a bohemian style, a classic black vest on a white shirt paired with some electric blue pants for a very on trend look, or a cool and retro denim vest just because it's a delight to wear and a joy to behold.



Add your vest to a charming little dress for an outstanding style, a bootcut pants on a casual day, a legging with heels to get the perfect sexy look, or simply layer it over your favorite tank for a delightful relaxed outfit.
You can also update your figure with a vintage-inspired vest, no doubt you will be noticed.
They are for you the occasion to show off your unique style.
And remember to choose an elongated vest fort a slightly longer silhouette.



Let those lightweight wonders rest upon your shoulders on the chilly nights of September.
Spice up your outfit with a stylish piece and you will stand out of the crowd at any occasion.
What are you waiting for?
Ladies, let's go shopping!

Absolute

Hello ladies!
Our outfit for the week is almost done, the only thing for us to do now is to run through details.
You can find many items that are the key to an absolute style.
Here are a few handy tips.

I totally fell in love with these gorgeous sunglasses by Bvlgari. Their Super glam frames with extravagant stones subtly amplify their chic look. They have a relaxed and classy vibe.
Your outfit will definitely be enhanced to another level.
You can still opt for the classic Alexander McQueen and his edgy design embellished as often by skull details at the temple. They will match the skull bracelet we picked yesterday and will give you a Rebel without a cause kind of look.



Is there still anything to say about Rouge Dior by Dior that hasn't been said already a hundred times?
All you need to know is that this lipstick is a masterpiece in your vanity-case.
Add LaLaque Nail Polish by Yves Saint Laurent for a total flashy red look.
Perfection is not far.



Let's not forget that one of our last summer week-end is threatened by a hurricane named Irene, so we might  just have to leave our sunglasses at home and take the umbrella with us instead.
In that case I would choose a Miss Marx Mini Umbrella by Marc Jacobs. Its graphic and whimsical print inspires me.
Cute, cute, cute!

Be safe, Stay dry, and avoid going outside on Sunday!
Work on your next week look instead!
I will see you on Monday for hot fashion news!

Cuffs & Bangles

To finish your already perfect outfit of the week, here's a sweet and sensual touch to tickle your wrists.





This fabulous set of three beautiful stone-filled bangle by Ippolita from the Wonderland Collection and the Scultura Collection is elegant and stylish and will enhance your whole outfit.
Their exquisite design will embrace your wrists and while the two first ones bring a fun yet classy touch, the last one adds a hint of sparkle.




This gorgeous swirl bracelet by Isaac Mizrahi with Swarovski Crystal is a pure wonder.
I let you admire the details and imagine it dancing along your wrist.



Alexander McQueen is one of my favorite designers ever when  it comes to craziness, creativity and talent. He is to fashion what Tim Burton is to the movie industry, indispensable and brilliant.
This wrap cuff boasts twin skulls with crystal eyes hypnotized me and I'm now speechless.

All these pieces are simply a statement of love.

See you tomorrow to finish beautifully our outfit of the week!

Great Looking Wedges

Wedges are the top fashion shoes of summer 2011.
They give us high heels as well as great support for the feet, and bring us comfort in the same time.
What more can we ask for?



Wedges look great with flare pants, maxi dresses or short skirts, the platform heels complete a variety of looks.
They also give you feminine appeal and stamp quirky sophistication.
It is clear that super high heels won't be going out of fashion any time soon.
Actually, many of the most famous designers are taking their shoes to even great heights.



From a basic wedge that is stylish but still office appropriate to a powerful color wedge for a great way to make your outfit pop, from the classic pure and white pair to the wild animal print for a sexy vibe, wedges have it all, they can either be soft and romantic, or cute and versatile with adorable details.
For a bohemian chic style, opt for the lofty raffia-covered platform espadrille and if you are in a playful mood the  wedge with a front bow for a vibrant touch will be your best companion.
Or just go crazy with a metallic touch for a night out, no one will blame you!



Build your look upon the trendy 70's style and enjoy it as long as the summer lasts.
Two thumbs up for the ultimate summer shoe!

Embrace the Lace

I really have a thing for this purely chic trend that is one of the most flattering for the summer.
Especially when those little dresses have a vintage feeling.



Cap sleeve lace dress with natural waist seam, or white stretch jersey all over lace sheath dress, or maybe a sleek hemline dress with a chic vintage lace, also the white sweet and sassy mini dress with feminine floral lace and sexy short hem, or a sheer papillon lace with a v-neckline and mid length fluted sleeves.
And how about a simple light lace dress with a folk and boho influences?
Which one is the best for you?
It's really not complicated to find the perfect fit for each body.



Head out to the beach with a Venice lace.
Keep in mind that a peekaboo lace overlay reveals an interesting peek of skin in a gorgeous sheath.
You don't need to add a lot of accessories to that outfit, some tiny earrings maybe and a pair of heels will do the trick.
Sometimes the simple look is the best.



Grab your over-sized sunglasses and party like it's 1960 all over again!

Rock & Roll Attitude

We love rock & roll!
This trend is universal and all designers use it from ultra-sophisticated and famous labels to younger and grungy designers.



Rock a hot ombre party dress to attract attention.
Blend edgy leather and feminine lace in a streamlined fashion outfit. The pretty lace foundation gets a rock & roll update with leather stripes, striking a balance between lady chic and rocker style.
Rock a skinny black jean over your tallest heels for a long and sexy silhouette, then add a super-soft and ultra-comfortable all-over sequins tank or an open-stitch top for a chic draping style, perfect for layering over a basic tank, and you'll be good to go.



You can rock your style out and stay true to your real nature whatever it is.
That's the beauty of it!
Gold and silver metallic prints, studded leather jacket, shirts featuring the most famous rock bands, dead skulls and snakes jewelry, black leather wristband, the possibilities are endless.



Show off your wild side!
Rock it out girls!

A Blazer for the Summer

Looking for a blazer that you can wear for both business and pleasure?
My advice would be to opt for a light fabric to combine classy and cute for a marvelous summer look and feel.

Uncover a distinct look with a sleek and jazzy jacket; you will be graceful and feminine at all times.
A stylish jacket with a notched collar completes a clean and classy look while a traditional tweed jacket with vibrant mix of technicolor yarns will show a playful mood.
Whatever fabric you'll end up choosing ( faux leather, corded cotton, linen, soft wool flannel...) your jacket has to feature a traditional styling and a generous fit.

I personally love a  bolero with a cropped design and a laser-cut detailing for an unexpected ladylike twist, so cute and original.
One of my all-time favorites remains the schoolboy blazer.
It should be on everyone's list of must-have-now!
And if you're out of ideas, simply play with proportions and try an elongated tank or blazer with a cropped pant and kitten heels.
You will look amazing...
As always!

Have a great week-end and see you on Monday for another week of fashion news!

Let Us Shine

Sequins add a festive look to any dress and make you dazzle on every special occasion.
They are fun and flirty and bring sophisticated glamour to your outfit.
Whatever your style is you can find a huge variety of sequin dresses from the most simple shape to more elaborated designs.



Glittering two-tone sequins over silk will add a touch of glam to a tank silhouette, while dainty metallic sequins form an organic petal-like pattern on a sultry dress and will give freedom to your body, also patches of sequins that stitch together in a sleek silk shift for an intriguing mix of texture will create a surprising look.
Shine with a beautiful sheath with all-over sequins, get an incredibly stunning shift of glittering sequins to reveal a plunging backless for extra drama, choose a degraded sequin pattern to add a modern touch to a body-skimming sheath silhouette, opt for a glimmering array of metallic sequins with tiered ruffle trim for a festive look, or a brilliant one-shoulder silhouette with a tie waist for a perfect fit.
Make a statement with iridescent sequin pattern.



When sparkle meets shine it's always to make us more feminine than ever.
Ladies, get ready for your next cocktail party!

Clutch It

Good things come in slim packages.
If you didn't get rid of your oversized bag already it's high time to do it now!
Stop carrying all our life with you for a moment, you can still get your stuffed-to-the-max shopper tote back in the fall.



Summer bags are going decidedly smaller and smaller and smaller.
The clutch bag is now leading the pack for a total ladylike style.
If you think you're going to be unnoticed because of the size of your bag, forget it right now.
The size may be smaller but the fashionable punch they give you is totally worth it.



Think bright colors for the day, red & pink, purple & blue, orange & yellow.
After the sunset, opt for gleaming fabrics and bright metal tones that will catch the glimmer of the moonlight.
Don't hesitate to add a lot of other accessories to balance your look like jewelry, scarves and hats.




The essential and absolute must is the clutch!
Another trendy way to carry your phone!
You will always look fabulous!
