Runway to Reality D&G Spring 2010

May 2nd, 2010 Hillary No comments
I know I haven’t created a Runway to Reality style set in awhile, lets just say I was waiting for the right time…

Well Spring is here!

So it seemed like a perfect time to finally revisit some of the runway looks and trends from the Spring 2010 Runway shows last September.  I enjoy taking inspiration from the runway designer looks and styles and finding ways to incorporate them into my style and budget! Many of these styles and trends utilize basic pieces that you may already have in your wardrobe!

Style Inspiration D&G Spring 2010

These 3 looks utilize 3 main key pieces, denim shirt, western style boots and chunky brown belt.  Throw in your boyfriend jeans and a tired ruffled skirt and you’ll look like you just stepped off the D&G runway!

How to get the “Mick Jagger” Look

January 25th, 2010 Hillary 2 comments

I know I haven’t done any features on menswear a while…

This topic was beyond perfect return for the 

Dapper Gentlemen!

Unless you’ve hibernating this winter, you’ve heard Ke$ha’s break out single “Tik Tok”. Just like most of these bubbly pop/dance songs great to dance too, listen too while in the car… But as for a meaningful life message, they are lacking…

But there was one line that stuck with me

“We kick them to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger!”

At first I was like ewww… But when I gave it more thought… Mick’s style, presence and swagger (if we must) is iconic and could be hot if properly replicated…

So boys take notes…

Mick is well known for his British-Rocker-Chic look:

  • Skinny jeans, skinny leather pants and skinny trousers.
  • Perfectly loose fitting rocker tees in solids (black, white, navy and burgundy).
  • Leather jackets, velvet smoking jackets, bright show stopping blazers.

Below I have put together some basic pieces to begin your Mick Jagger look…

Dapper Gentlemen… Footwear

March 20th, 2009 Hillary No comments

As we continue to do our part in the evolution of MEN…

We have selected a variety of footwear for various occasions!

From Left to Right

  • Causal Date: We recommend the Ferragamo Parigi $475 (Brown) or Tod’s Gommini $395. This shoe is sophisticated with a relaxed attitude, perfect for lunch or a stroll around town. (Think Brad Pitt)
  • Formal Date: Prada Buckle Loafer $680, Classic, chic and versatile can be worn to variety of occasion and can easily dress up any look.  (Think James Bond)
  • Sophisticated Party or Event: From everything from your boss’s son’s bar-mitzvah and your exclusive Red Carpet event, the Ferragamo Party Loafer $520 will make sure you get notice and be life of the party! (Think Chuck Bass)
  • The Office: Put your best foot forward in these D&G Lace ups $575, you will definitely stand out amongst your colleagues.  (Ari Gold)
  • The Bentley of Men’s footwear: If your one to through all your eggs in one basket or a future leader of the free world, we highly recommend the John Lobb Chapel Loafer $1560 as the appropriate shoe for all of the listed locations and worthy of Presidential attention. (Think Obama)

-Don’t fear the price tags!  These are investment pieces.. Like our handbags, Louboutins and those Mike & Chris Jackets!

Also if you are wondering when you can wear your favorite old sneakers

When your out with the boys!

That way we don’t have to worry about any ladies hitting on you!
