He wore WHAT!!?

On a Girl’s Night Out, I discovered that there were a lot of men who do not know how to dress. It’s time to get a little personal Fellas!

When dressing for a Friday night out, plan a little sex-appeal into your wardrobe.  That’s right!!

She’ll take in the whole package instantly, shirt to shoes. If you have great style, you’ll bag more than brownie points!

Most men I’ve seen go with the long sleeve button up. Don’t do that!  Try a different approach.

The V-Neck.

 

This is probably the sexiest style made for MAN. In every shade, the V-Neck takes casual to class!

The great thing I love about the V-Neck is, versatility.

Dress it up with a dark blazer on cooler nights or wear it alone. You can’t go wrong!

V-Neck sweaters are a nice alternative this Fall, but choose Cashmere to show off your muscle.

Date Tip~ Don’t shave it off! Keep a little scruff. We like it and want to touch it!

Why not draw her attention to you?!

Give yourself an upgrade the next time you go out. Put on the V-Neck.

 


Date Fashion

 

 

 

What to wear?!!!

When planning an outfit for a date, I give it some extra thought. I love to feel fabulous and sexy, so I choose my pieces carefully.

I chose a white ribbed tank and layered it with a fabulous Armani Exchange moto shirt.

Keeping my look simple, I wore black 4″ heel booties to add height and style.

Silver and burgundy stone earrings gave me the splash of color I needed.

The look I achieved was simple and sexy for my hot date!

He wore a slim-fit Tommy Hilfiger oxford and gray Geoffrey Beene slacks.

To dress up his look, he chose fashionable black Frattelli boots.

For a touch of class and sex-appeal, he rolled his sleeves the Italian way.

The Italian Way –

1. Unbutton the cuff.

2. Take the edge of the cuff and flip the whole cuff back.

3. Drag the cuff slowly up past your elbow until the bottom seam of the cuff is in your elbow pit.

4. Fold the extra 3-5 inches of  sleeve up, to secure the cuff above your elbow.

The cuff won’t come undone and the look is timeless Class.

On this date, both of us chose to keep our looks simple. By this, we emphasized our figures and drew attention to only one piece.


Wedge Wear day AND night!

Sandals are the first choice in shoe fashion where I live in California. Wedges are EVERYWHERE!

I love mine and have several pairs to choose from. But… I always need more!

At a recent Wine and Chocolate Stroll in fashionable downtown Danville, women were out in their cute wedges for some guaranteed night fun.  I had on my preferred heels, but what I saw, I loved!

I normally choose my colorful wedges for day-wear, however I think I’ll pull out a pair the next time I’m out at night as well!

 

Here’s to finding the versatile wedge!

My Picks:

Chinese Laundry

Lucky Brand

Naughty Monkey at Zappos

Seychelles

and my absolute favorite

Cesare Paciotti

Of course I’d wear those Cesare Paciotti’s anywhere! But for the casual fun in my downtown, I’d have to choose Naughty Monkey for their flare.


The Cool Dude

The last few summers, white shades have caught my eye. I love it! I don’t see white too often but when I do… “Guy, you look HOT!”

With the new crazy shade styles out now, white is a great move!

I saw a cool dude today sporting what looked like a pair of  Spy Optic’s. Very Nice!

 

My Picks:

Spy Optic Quanta

If White is your style, then check out Clear!

Oakley Polarized Crankcase

 

Not every guy should wear white sunglasses. Fall in the age range of teens to 40’s and you can pull them off with hot style!

Tip: If your body looks like it has less muscle than fat, then stay away from wearing white. Choose shades of grey or black to look your cool.

 


Choose Your Hide


 The Leather Jacket is a classy look for both men and women. How you wear yours, is your ticket to sophistication and … cool.

There are many styles that look great and with a little help, you can find the one that is right for you.

While searching, know your styles well.   Not everyone can pull off a leather utility jacket.

Keep in mind fit, as well as comfort. A Leather Jacket may allow for a little more room in the body and arms, but the fit should be right on the shoulders.

When I was a young girl, my Dad sported a grey Leather Bomber. While it fit his mid-section well, the shoulders were not quite right.

Tip: Get your Jacket tailored to help with any problem areas.

A quality Leather Jacket is an investment and with care, yours can last for years.

My Picks:

Diesel Laurence

Delusion Straight Leather

Strands For Scarves

 

Scarves, Ladies!

Now that they are in every store, when will you get yours?

Scarves, handbags, shoes, belts, we love  our colorful accents! A scarf will add pizazz to your ensemble and undoubtedly get some notice!

Keeping it simple with one or two splashes will add to your attractive look.

Wearing stripes? Pick a floral pattern to mix it up! Dressed in brights? Choose a softer hue to complete the look.

Just be careful not to overdue it! Too many colorful accessories will detract from YOU.

I traded my necklaces for some lovely scarves, just in time for the warmer weather my way. And I’m looking for a few more…


Toss Your Blues

Pastels are IN! From pinks to shades of yellows, Jeans have been given a tried and true bold wash. For the Trend-setter, these colors are a gold mine! The options are endless!

This time last year, I noticed few ladies braving the colorful denim. These colors are not new so I expect a greater population of bold legs will be showing off their fun fashion this year.

As most of us know, lighter colors add width, darker colors slim down. You know your body better than anyone, so choose your shade to your shape.
