Notable Styles and More

Hello, to my men readers and females that admire a great man in great fashion as much as I do. This post will display an outfit that is fit for any guy, on a casual day. If you are in a climate where, wearing a jacket is still feasible, during the winter to spring transition, this outfit is for you. The jacket shown is lighter than a winter jacket but also made well enough to break the wind. The jacket is NIKE SB Tour and has colorful detailing on an all black majority. This jacket is found on Caliroots.com and is $165.12 . I believe that the NIKE SB Dunk Low Pro will match with this jacket. It matches in a way that is not too matchy and I am sure that the shoes can be worn with other outfits. The NIKE SB Tour jacket can be easily worn with other fits, as well. Price $148.60 . Why not match the other two garments with, 7 for All Mankind jeans ? Seven has produced a Double Dylan black black jean for the denim connoisseur. Try them on and then decide if you like them or not.

Missoni has some great pieces for the upcoming season. I have uploaded pics of key pieces that could be mixed and matched throughout. Missoni is a very reputable brand that deserves to be in every woman's closet. Especially women who have a desire for authentic, classy, sophisticated apparel. Some of the apparel below is available as pre-order pieces on Saks Fifth Ave . If you don't feel like getting Missoni garments, how about just getting a Missoni accessory? It will add flavor, to your wardrobe too!

I visited a Solstice store recently and really spent almost an hour trying on sunglasses. Of course, I adored the likes of the Marc Jacobs, Oliver Peoples, Tom Fords, Guccis, Chanels and other brands. But when I tried on a pair of purple tinted Giorgio Armani's, I fell into instant lust. They complimented my face, greatly and were also sophisticated. The other pair of glasses that really, made their way to my MUST HAVE list were a pair of Juicy Couture's. The frame was smooth, hard plastic, just like I like. The crystal encrusted, gold logo is very FAB ! Pick your favorite pair of sunglasses for the upcoming vacation season. I hope that my selections will inspire you to!

Indianapolis hosted a grandiose fashion event last night at the Indianapolis Hilton Hotel. This event is entitled Midwest Fashion Week . Midwest Fashion Week is a non-profit organization, that always donates portions of their proceeds to those in need within the community. The event is put on by an inspired designer extraordinaire with a desire to make Indianapolis a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. This designer's name is Berny Martin and his line is called Catou . If you view Catou's most recent collection you can see his level of creativity and his fashion perspective. Midwest Fashion Week brought together designers from New York, Indianapolis, Chicago, Cleveland and some designers from the Art Institute. This show was very well put together and executed precisely and for that my hat's off to the Midwest Fashion Week organization. Last night, I was wearing my style hat and the designers had some very cutting edge pieces. Joan Vaccianna blew me away

Saks Fifth Avenue has offered up a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, chic and sophisticated dress by Jayson Brunsdon.

Check out Jayson Brunsdon's site for more peeks at his collection. And try it with these Manolo Blahnik's from Neiman Marcus.com.

I think that the Goldenbleu London handbag from the Spring/Resort 2008 collection is 80's inspired and cute. I have never been a fan of fringes on purses but there is something very interesting about the construction of this particualar fringed one that attracts me. I believe that the colors the company chose to present have really helped the style of the handbag. I personally would love to see someone carrying this. The choices offered are metallic and perforated in the following colors: cosmpolitan (shown below), chrome and gold.

The Heart of the City Tour opened on Saturday, March 22nd in Miami, Florida. Jay - Z and Mary J. Blige collectively head-lined this tour and performed together several times during the night. The showing of artist support at this concert, was decent and seemed to be well appreciated by the headliners. The performers arrived at the concert boated with the finest accessories, shoes and apparel. I definitely was inspired by their choice of wardrobe and have hopes that you will be too.

Gossip Girl is one of my FAV shows. I guess, I have not totally grown out of the high-school, private school, type dramas where the story lines revolve around best friends swapping boyfriends, friends calling rank, preppy, rich bad-boys and very opportunistic parents. On the fashion tip, the show takes me back to the Jill Stuart fashion wardrobe days when Clueless was out and she branded all of us, with their preppy, modern, school-girl looks and lingo. In homage to the prep-school, uniform and plaid fashion lovers below is a look that I put together. Take any of the seperates and wear them as I have setup or as you'd wish. Option 1: O ption 2 :
