I’m in love with this picture ~ and just know that you’ll see it again because it’s the epitome of relaxed style that isn’t overly stuffy or too young. Just awesome! A few key takeaways from the photo: Note where the blazer shoulder ends… In all three examples, we’re talking two-button suits In all three examples, the top button is buttoned and the bottom is not Note where the blazer sleeve ends… The two gentlemen with no tie have created
#NYFW is here…but who cares? Anybody obsessed with fashion…. Anybody with cash to blow…. Anybody who wants to know what will be in the stores months from now (and act clarivoyant when you see it) If you’re a model….. If you’re a blogger who has avid fashion voyeurs as readers And likely a few others. We’ll be doing spotty coverage of a few choice events and happenings but just click the pic (and bookmark it), so you’ll be in-the-know the

Here are my top to-do’s to enjoy Fashion Week without ever going (or being invited) to a runway show: Fashion’s Night Out: I’m not a personal fan because of all the madness, but if you participate you’ll think you’re int he middle of everything!
