HEY JUDE...

Finally, something for the boys... I know I've made you wait boys but trust me, it was worth the wait. As my very first feature on my blog for men, I decided to focus on this prettiest of all Brit pretty boys - Jude Law. Jude Law is no strange face to fashion magazines, and while going through pages of magazines, I would often land on pictures of Jude always looking impeccable but yet effortlessly put together. For me his style is just simple, neat and he just show any man should look like whether he is walking his dog or going grocery shopping. I think he really makes skinnies and straight leg jeans look great and his love for scarves was a definite plus when choosing him as a feature:). So boys, I hope you learn something from him.

MONIQUE LHUILLIER

Amy, a friend of mine, introduced me to Monique Lhuillier, a designer who started out by making bridal wear but quickly moved to ready-to-wear. Initially intended for this feature to be about my favourite pieces out of her Fall 2009 collection, but quickly fell in love with her Pre-Fall and Spring 2009 collections. This might seem like more of a tribute than a feature but I hope you like it as much as I liked it when I feasted me eyes on her collections.

WE'RE ALL CRAZY ABOUT HERVE LEGER

And there I was thinking that the bandage would be one of those easy-easy-go trends, I was wrong. The bandage dress is just as popular in 09 (if not more) as it was in 08. This dress captures your every curve whilst making you look toned and Gisele-like. I guess it's hard for women with all little extra meat, to let of of this figured hugging number... but do you think its time they do???

THE DENIM JACKET

Rihanna

Nicole Richie

Jessica Alba

Diane Kruger

Cecile Cassel

Kanye West

Miquita Oliver

Along with everything else that screams : 'the 80's', the denim jacket is also making a comeback. This trend was extremely popular in 2000, and is now making a huge comeback. Everyone from Alice Dellal to (pregnant) Nicole Richie have been soprting this look. To my opinion, the denim jacket never really left... denim jackets are great way to dress down an outfit... Am I the only one who's noticed that Rihanna's hair is starting to look like Michael Jackson's?

MASCULIN/FEMININ

Diane Kruger

Stella McCartney

Keira Knightly

Kate Hudson

Chloe Sevigny

Ashley Olsen

Designers from Oasis to Stella Mc Cartney have all included the peg leg trousers in their collections. This typically 80's trend is now being adapted to 2009 with a modern touch. The peg leg trouser is the perfect trend to make a woman look sexy and feminine with a touch of masculin.

NERDY, SEXY, COOL: CHLOE SEVIGNY

The Queen of avant-garde trends has finally arrived to my blog. (yay!) When it comes to fashion, nothing scares this gal, she's demonstrated that a couple of times, once by wearing sandals with socks... although this might seem like a real fashion faux pas, I see a couple of celebrities imitating her in that respect. I just love her nerdy style.We have to hand it to her though, it's pretty hard to be daring when it comes to fashion and much easier to copy trends off the runway, that's why this Californian gal deserves the title of queen of the avant-garde.

POLYVORE...

Keith, a friend of mine, introduced me to the most amazing site that enables you to put together looks from a series of pieces that you liked while surfing the internet. I've come across such beautiful pieces (I discovered how much i love mc queen and vivienne westwood) that i know i wont be able to afford (at least not for now) but that i can still appreciate through the different looks i put together. I've only been able to do 2 looks so far and would appreciate your opinion on them... Polyvore.com is a great way to have fun with fashion and to express your personal style... there are no limits here my friends...
