What's Next for the Fedora?

I've been trying to forecast what the update could be for the Fedora. I feel like we are saturated with them this summer. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them. For Fall and Winter: menswear fedoras in wool and heavier fabrications. Now, for Spring and Summer, fedoras in straw and more breathable fabrics. I love them with striped ribbon accents or a little feather. I think they are super sexy on guys, too, don't you?

BUT, there has to be something, a new hat, coming up next... what could it be?! Too many people, in the mainstream, are wearing fedoras now, that this trend will soon be over. So, I am thinking hard about what will go on our pretty little heads by this time next year. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Monday Man-day

Its Monday! Boo. But yay that I have good pics of stylish men for you! You're welcome. Man-day is a perfect reason for you to Follow my blog, now, don't you think? Yes I do.

Don't know where he's headed but I like his red shoes and his hat! Love a bold look like this, don't you?


I am pretty sure he woke up this morning and thought he was in Miami. Like? No like? PS his shorts are sheer.


What is this guy looking at? I don't know but its the perfect chance for me to get a close up, right? Thanks Puma guy. He also has on an uber cool Man-bag. Clearly, I am a fan. What do you all think of this look?


Happy Monday everybody, from me and the Men!

Print Mix Up

I am not the best at mixing prints... I wish I were better. Some of my blog friends are so good at it, I am jelly of them, and I look at their pics with such admiration, hoping to be inspired. But, since most of my clothes are solid black, there really isn't a lot to mix. So wtf. And when I say wtf, you all must know that I am saying wt freak, ok, I do knot use the eff word. =) ANYway, This weekend I have been taking pics of people who also have trouble mixing their prints. There is a very fine line between Print Mix Pretty and Print Mix Poopy. K? Beware.

See below Hat Lady. While I love her hat, the rest of the ensemble is not working out. Skirt= cute, and I understand what she was shooting for, but the stripe + the texture in the ruffle is too much for the busy print of the skirt. Also the sky blue in her top is not a match. She needs a solid or a flat-non texture to tone down the look. When mixing prints we need to mix colors of the same shade or complimentary shades. Am I right? I can imagine this look working if her top had been a solid white, off white or even soft pink. Can you see it? What do you think?

Next: Yellow Geo. I'm curious what you all think. Maybe if the print of the skirt was a larger scale it would work, and if the skirt were A LOT shorter. There is just too much skirt coverage. She almost had it!



And finally, a look that really works! Sorry you can't see it well, but the colors work well together and the proportions are all right. Pale yellow stripes combined with soft blue-grey, with vintage shades together in a floral print... Love the shoes too. The dark belt really completes the look, don't you think?


So glad we end on a positive note right? AND get ready for Man-day Monday tomorrow! I have pics of some very nicely dressed MEN for you!! Look forward to it.
