Male Style Icon: Paul Newman

Awhile ago; I had promised posts about male style icons from the past with current fashion for women.  Well, here it is.  Better later than never; I say.  I'm starting out with Paul Newman.  He embodies classic American minimalism.  What's not to like.  Picture on the left is a courtesy of David Sutton.  Pictures on the right are a courtesy of the websites listed below.

Brock Davis

I've been a fan of Brock Davis for awhile now.  It started with his cute boys tees at Target a few years ago.  I learned recently he has a tumbler.  He is an amazing designer.  He inspires me.  His designs are so cute and simple.  It makes me jealous; I haven't thought of them.  Please check him out here:  Brock Davis

Trend Prediction

I feel bandana paisley is going to be the next best thing.  Now, I could be wrong.  You never know these things.  But I have been seeing it pop-up; from Stella McCarthy to Jil Sander to even Jack Spade.  We will see if this trend pops up.  For the picture; left to right: Jack Spade bandana wallet, Jil Sander blazer & short, and Stella McCarthy.  Pictures are courtesy of the designers. 

Fall Essentials 2012

I know; I'm jumping the gun here; but I can't help myself.  I love fall and winter clothing best.  It's just something about all that layering.  Sigh.  Is it Fall yet?  I hope summer flies by.  I truly detest the weather and fashion of summer.  So for all those who are in favor of the cooler months enjoy the fashion eye candy above and dream of cooler days.  Pictures are a courtesy of the websites listed below.  

Menswear for Women Part 5

Here's the next installment of my experiment.  I felt this outfit was if Steve McQueen met grunge.  It works.  Who doesn't love Steve McQueen's style.  To this day; his style is still relevant.  Perhaps in the near future; I will try a new thing with male style icons of the past with current fashion for women.  We will see....Picture on the left is a courtesy of 8i8i8i on tumbler.  The pictures on the right are a courtesy of the websites listed below.

Menswear for Women Part 4

Classic schoolboy prep; what's not to love.  Muted colors once again.  Pieces could be easily mixed and matched with your wardrobe.  Pieces are also classic staples that are good to have around.  It was a bit hard to find all the items this time.  But that's what I am here for.  I do all the hard work so you don't have to.  The photo on the left is a courtesy of 8i8i8i from tumbler.  The photos on the right are a courtesy of the websites listed below.  

Spring Essentials 2012 Part 2

As promised; here is the second edition.  Aren't you glad you didn't have to wait long?  I was inspired by a subdued palette with classic tones.  Okay, I'll admit it.  I usually go for muted and subdued; if you haven't noticed already.  So sue me.  It's what I'm currently coveting.  So enjoy.  Photos are courtesy of the websites listed below.

I will probably do another list to add to this existing list.  There's never enough room to fit all you need (pun intended).  

Menswear for Women Part 3

Menswear for Women

I'm going to try something new.  Since I'm such a fan of menswear and I'm constantly on the hunt for menswear for myself.  I thought; I would share.  I don't mean menswear inspired for women.  I mean menswear that's for women.  So in keeping with the look of menswear but fits a women's body.  The picture on the left is a picture of a man in an outfit I am currently liking and on the right are the clothes for women in the same style but made for women.  Photo on the left is a courtesy of 8i8i8i on tumbler.  Below are the links to purchase the items; as well as the source of the product photos.

Polariod Z340 Instant Digital Camera

Polariod's newest instant generation.  This is the follow-up to Polariod's first instant digital camera, Pogo.  Although, the Pogo was nice.  It had some downfalls; including small pictures.  The newest edition has that remedied; instead of 2x3, it's 3x4.  No ink is required; just like the Pogo; the Z340 uses Zink paper which has the colors already embedded into the paper.  It's a 14 megapixel digital camera with choice of borders or borderless.  This would be great to have when you need prints right away; especially when you're in the fashion industry.  So all you fashionista's, fashion insider's, or just people who love fashion; get a hold of this.  I know; I will.

Tokidoki x Marvel Frenzies

Super cute zipper/cellphone charms!   So for all you comic book and fashion lovers out there; get them while they last!   They're perfect on just about anything you could think of.  So clip them on your bags, backpacks, hoodies, keys, or cellphones.  A great gift for guys & gals.  They just came out in October at an anime convention.  They're blind assorted so might have to buy multiples if you have a certain character in mind.  No big deal because they're cute and inexpensive.
