Ladies and gentlemen, now he looks like one very bad man! Hands down we absolutely love to see men in long coats during winter. Long coats give off an effortless cool factor like a guy is coming from the Matrix or saving the world with Nick Fury. This coat from the Ami Fall-Winter 2014-2015 Menswear collection is a well-tailored piece conveying strength and sophistication. Therefore, be a honorary personal stylist and buy the men in your life a long coat this season.
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.
Well okay then Miss Palmer! Three snaps in a Z formation from the hair down to those boots! Keke attended The Imitation Game premiere last night held in NYC at Ziegfeld Theatre. Palmer wore ICB (International Concept Brand) and took everyone’s breath away. Not many could pull off such a daring look, but Keke did it seamlessly.
When it’s cold layering is essential to keeping warm and being able to easily remove clothing if things get a little too hot for your liking. There is often the common thought if you layer too much of the same item things can tend to look a little funny and not in a good way. However, if done right layering a full outfit with denim or leather on leather (shown) can be cool, chic and very modern.
Happy Thursday ladies we are almost to the weekend! To get over this last mid-week hump let’s talk some fall/winter fashion. So then, what do we like to wear when the temperature is on chill status?
Alicia: Can I get a sweater please? (laughter)
Arianne: Wave them in the air! (laughs)
Alicia: Exactly… I always enjoy wearing a sweater with a cute print or design. I find it takes the guesswork out of putting together an outfit in the mornings. I simply grab one of my sweaters and pair it with jeans, a neutral top as well as ankle boot heels and I’m out the door.
Arianne: I’m addicted to fur, faux of course, I love all animals. Nevertheless, I love fur vests, especially the ones with belts or ties so that my shape doesn’t get lost because I can emphasize a waistline.

Fashion doesn’t always have to be all pain and no gain. This season you do not need to freeze your couture tail off in the name of fall/winter style. Case in point, some may feel that a hat may detract or lessen the drama of their ensemble. However, when done correctly hats are a great accessory to not only keep you warm, but fully complete your outfit.
Being a Cheap Can Be Chic girl beanies are one of my favorite hats to wear once the temperature takes a dip. They are very reasonably priced and look great with sweaters, trench coats, fur and matches well with scarves. Moreover, since they are normally solid color accessories you don’t have to worry about a blending issue. A beanie will easily enhance yet not dominate an already great look.
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
Avant-garde menswear designer, Jason Ryan has rapidly gained attention as one of the most watched breakout designers of the season.

Metropolitan Fashion Week events are held in dramatic, non-traditional venues that showcase not just best fashion designers or costume designers, but the most beautiful venues each city has to offer.
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!

It does not matter what season it is, it is never wrong to wear color. Vibrant tints do not need to be reserved for spring and summer only. Now of course we do not want anyone looking like they belong in a pack of Skittles, but color when done correctly is very fresh and hip.
Case in point, check out Kelly Rowland when she attended New York Fashion Week. Her skirt pops yet it does not overpower her overall look. We love the two-tone skirt being paired with a tee shirt. The outfit is very laid back, but still comes off super stylish. Therefore, add some color this season to add some dimension to your fall and winter looks.
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.
We are loving the old world feel and classiness of the Dolce & Gabbana 2014 autumn/winter collection. The accessories designed for men are practical yet stylish and go from being dapper to bold and boisterous. The collection includes bags, shoes and fashion forward eye-wear. Your favorite guy is sure to look and feel like a million bucks with any of these wardrobe must-haves.
