Off with his fine fashion head! Okay, we retract that ruling only because of what these male models were adorned with for the Dolce & Gabbana Menswear Fall/Winter 2014 show. The fashions and accessories were medieval inspired channeling the Norman Kingdom of Sicily. We were especially blown away by the intricately designed accessories from gloves to shoes. We would love to get our paws on a pair of those jewel encrusted hand gloves that we believe is fit for any king OR queen.
If you want to make a bold statement with your jewelry this season look no further than the Goldbarr Autumn/Winter collection for 2014. Pieces range in price from about $80 dollars to $200. The designer behind the collection was inspired by her travels and her inspiration is clearly evident in her cultural designs. The collection has a vintage feel yet maintains a fresh free-spirited vibe. The fringe detailing and heavy metals scream drama in a very good way. Enjoy skimming through the collection and be sure to share your fashion thoughts with us.
I have never met a sneaker that I didn’t like and with that being said I have been a proud Nike wearer for as long as I can remember. My addiction was so strong, alright everyone altogether, “How strong was it?” My addiction was so strong that my mother had to ban me from buying them because that was the only type of shoe and brand that I wanted to wear out in public…with everything.
Even with my lovely mother’s decree my love for Nike never dimmed and I still wear them, I actually have a pair on right now as I type this (LOL). Therefore, I am constantly checking to see what’s new with the best sneakers on this planet. For winter, Nike has designed another pair for their Roshe Run collection and I think the shoe is sleek and ingenious. For anyone who has ever partook in a winter run maybe even in the rain knows that having the right shoe is everything. The right sneaker will help you endure longer during your workout session and of course perserve your feet. One very cool aspect of this shoe is the weather resistent build that runs along the top of the sneaker. So then, you will be able to fight the elements and look good doing it with this sleek silhouette from Nike.
Can’t wait to get mine!

Jason Ryan stole the show at last night’s Metropolitan Fashion Week and one thing is clear, Los Angeles is in love.
At the garden oasis of Greystone Mansion, guests sat in awe of Ryan’s monotone avant-garde collection. Opera singer Nicolette Holman opened the show with a haunting voice that perfectly represented the theme of Jason Ryan’s collection. The designer debuted 10 menswear and 7 womenswear pieces from his collection Resentment. Run. Evil.
In the dramatic presentation, all the models wore pale body suits covering them from head to toe and ornate headpieces that sat as crowns on their heads. All eyes were locked on the designs, and as the finale gown made its way down the runway the entire audience was under Jason Ryan’s spell.
As the favorite of Los Angeles fashion week, it is clear the designer has made his mark on the fashion community, and all doors are now open.
JASON RYAN features masterfully created ready-to-wear and avant-garde high end menswear. Each collection is highly stylized and driven by a strong central theme. The designs are known for their impeccable artistry and thoughtful embellishment.
Often full of high-drama, the meticulous detailing and innovative structures of the designs create an encompassing sensory experience. The current 2014 Holiday Collection, Resentment.Run.Evil, features several womens-wear pieces showcasing a feminine edge.
The Designer

Hair Notes: Rapunzel let down your hair! The jaw-dropping fashions of Jason Ryan’s collection were definitely the belle of the ball, but we couldn’t help but fall in love with the overall styling of the models. The lovely and dramatic hair was adorned with floral and rope detailing. The couture and the styling were simply divine!

Every woman should have a few sophisticated handbags to tote around town tucked away safely in her wardrobe. A chic black bag will go with many of your cute ensembles adding a luxe and classy factor. Fabi’s collection for this autumn/winter includes well-crafted as well as designed handbags for the modern woman. Remember a great accessory makes an outfit even grander.
I will be the first to admit that I am a recovering addict when it comes to wearing couture designed with bows. I love them, rock them and always still want more. However, that is not the only reason this collection made me want to thank the shoe gods. I am also a fan of period piece films, not just for the romantic language usually exchanged between characters, but also for the exquisite and intricate fashions.
Manolo Blahnik’s shoe collection for this season seemed to have been created with ladies of the court in mind. My immediate thought was Marie Antionette would have owned every last pair and quite frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. Each shoe is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. The shoes are embellished with ruffles, baroque prints, satin, pendants, buttons as well as jewelry. The bold use of color also gives these ingenious stilettos a stronger eccentric and uniqueness.
Little Red Riding Hood, girl you might as well eat your heart out. Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter accessories for 2014 invoke an almost fantasy, fairy-tale in a deep forest vibe. The collection includes handbags, shoes and chic shades (sunglassess) that are embellished with lace, jewels and floral baroque patterns. If you ever wanted to feel like a princess or queen for the day, indulging in these accessories will definitely make the dream come true.
Last week, we showed Tommy Hilfiger’s ad campaign for his fall/winter 2014-2015 collection yet we still can’t get enough.

The looks are very relaxed but with tons of sophistication, the ultimate preppy cool vibe. Love it, hate it, let us know by dropping a line in the comments or meeting us on twitter.
