Crystal Embellished, Armored, Leopard and Neon #Sneakers for #Men @Saks

 

 

Crazy fab men's #sneakers at #Saks. Hot colors, metal details and crystal embellishment finally brings the level of spectacular we ladies take for granted in our footwear to our masculine counterparts. This was LITERALLY the first time I have ever been stopped dead in my shopping tracks  while passing a men's shoe section.  It was a surprisingly elating experience :-) 

Indluge

I. Love. This. Image. from the MAC Indulge ad.  The way the model is styled, the gold turban, blue sequins, and the sweets on the table, all speak to exactly what I am looking for in my 2013 fashion profile.  The issue?  Ironically, the make-up -- which is totally unwearable.  There are so many cool, retro, Edie Sedgwick-y ways MAC could have used to better showcase their color palette.... I get that it's editorial.... maybe they are only marketing to far out make-up artists with that unflattering yellow eye shadow.....  The rest, however, totally speaks to me.

Cara and the Mulberry Owls

Cara Delvingine's large eyes and bird-like features make her a perfect member of the Mulberry parliament. Cara is featured extensively in September's 902 page Fall Fashion Vogue but these ads are my favorites

Have a ball

New fall flats from Dior. The round bauble is at once quirky and expected enough to be wearable.

In a gilded cage

This season's shoes by Dolce & Gabbana might actually prove that I have, in fact, died and gone to heaven.  Just when I think I can not possibly love fashion any more and nothing can possibly be new under the sun, some creative genius says: Poof! Birdcage shoes.  I can just imagine a tiny carnelian colored canary singing inside.... Très jolie, D&G.

Postmodern Pippa

My fav IT girl right now is Pippa Middleton.  I absolutely covet every single piece in her wardrobe.  Upon closer investigation I discovered a possible reason for this:  We share the same birthday!  I believe this explain why she and I both prefer bold monochrome outfits and opt for dresses over slacks.... Maybe it's in our fashion horoscope?  Find here a spectrum sampling of some of her best looks.

Moody Blues

I'm so happy I got my coat from MUUSE in time for this evening's forecast. A silk, one-shoulder dress from Pinkyotto and cobalt colored Brahmin bag complete my misty, monochrome ensemble. It is going to be a rainy night for a dinner party in the Back Bay..... but at least I can bring some sunshine with me in these moody blues.... also Moscato de Asti  

Nowness

I heart my new Sam Edelman shoes. They have everything I am looking for in party footwear for Spring/Summer 2013: Mod, two-tone, white & beige leather, rocker-style crystal embellishment, and a clear, acrylic stacked heel. I styled them with my matching bone clutch, by Coach, and a nude dress with purple lace overlay, for the Boston Fashion Awards VIP party.

Beautiful like diamonds in the sky

These Gucci pumps look so pretty in their display case.... But would be even prettier on my feet. They actually look like my size.....

Rock statement shorts.

I like the metallics because they go with everything.  Summer days with a graphic t,  Spring nights with tights and a silk tank. Just rock them.  All. The. Time. I picked the most flattering cuts for you and the prettiest fabrics. Legs are sexier when separated..... Like rather than wearing a skirt ;-)  Idk WHAT you thought I meant.... Top to bottom: IRO, Versus, DVF, Helmut Lang-- all on my new fav website: http://www.ssense.com.  Thank me later for that little link :-) :-) :-)
