New: Hermès Granville Bracelets, Malachite and Sapphire Blue Colours

Below: New colours from Hermès... Check out Malachite and Sapphire Blue... 2 gorgeous hues on both Kelly Double Tour and Hapi bracelets. Love the rich teal green and blue tones!

New: Hermès Granville Bracelets, Malachite And Sapphire Blue Colours

New impending purchases at Hermès.... ‘Orange’ power is irresistible. I can never get enough of Hermès bracelets.

Check out 2 new gorgeous colours  to add to your bracelet collection. Ger ready for an amazing teal green tone, Malachite or handsome Sapphire Blue on both Kelly Double Tour (£340) and Hapi (£225) bracelets. Gold hardware works exceptionally well for both hues. But silver is just as appealing. My heart is set for Malachite which is timely for Fall Winter 2013’s green trend.

And if you are looking for fresh designs to adorn your wrists, why not go for the new Granville bracelets (USD600) which come in single or double tour, gold or silver hardware. I definitely want one. Was a love at first sight after trying it over last weekend. The gold and barenia leather combination just screams must have. Since the hardware is detachable, imagine wearing it as a pendant or use it with your twillys for even more creative expressions of how to double or triple up the looks of Hermès bracelets.

Below: The new Granville bracelet is a new favourite, especially after trying them on last weekend. I love that the hardware can be removed and with some creative thinking, use it with a twilly as a new bracelet or wear as a pendant. The barenia leather and gold combination is a must have:-P

Watch out wallet... I may need an urgent outflow of funds again:-P

Armie Hammer Wears Gucci At 'The Lone Ranger' London Premiere

Below: A standout colour befitting a rising young movie star... Armie Hammer looking extra dashing in Gucci's Spring Summer 2013 suit... Hot!

Standout Colour For A Rising Star: Armie Hammer In A Striking Red Gucci Suit

Not many guys dare to brave full on red when it comes to wardrobe choices. More often than not, overwhelming amounts of crimson tones make you standout for the wrong reasons. However, for rising star and leading man of movie 'The Lone Ranger', Armie Hammer, it's totally different scenario. Thank goodness for Gucci's ultra modern and slim fitted Spring Summer 2013 red suit, not even veteran megastar Johnny Depp stand a chance when the two photographed together. Armie looked dashing and a standout at 'The Lone Ranger' Premiere in London recently.

I love Armie Hammer's look. Gucci has definitely picked up the right group of young handsome movie celebrities to show off their collections. From Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds and now Armie Hammer... all the swoon worthy young male stars are pushing the brand to be even more aspirational and desirable.

Excuse me... I shall end my blog post now and go admire Armie's flawless facial skin. WOW!

(Armie Hammer is married. So gals and gays, he is taken and plays on the other team:-P)

Below: Braving a full on red suit pays off for Armie... Not even veteran star Johnny Depp stands a chance against Armie's good looks and that striking red suit! Agree?:-P

Trussardi Holiday Print Nylon Pouch

Below: How effective are streetstyle pics in making you want an item? To me, they are darn convincing... hence after I saw this dude match up his Khaki blazer, camouflage shorts with that gorgeous and happy Trussardi Holiday Print Nylon Pouch, I'd knew I have to own it...

'Streetstyle Pic' Inspired Purchase: Trussardi Holiday Print Pouch

Streestyle pictures do sell goods... at least to me. Sourcing all over the web for pics of stylish guys during the recent Mens Fashion Week SS2014 pose much risk for my wallet. Unknowingly, I get attracted to items spotted on these guys... how he use or style it... and after being inspired, my wandering eyes convinced my brain I had to have it.

Like past fashion seasons, my wallet did not escape my 'saving the economy' this time either. After finding this brilliant picture of this guy carrying Trussardi’s Holiday Print Nylon Pouch at Pitti Uomo SS2014... I need the pouch! I have already blogged about the matching tote bag before, so this pic affirms my attraction. The cute Italian-inspired holiday scenarios (from Vespa to Sailboats) makes me smile. And prints always add interest to an outfit especially when happy ones reminded me of past European vacations. Who can resist that:P

Then I saw Matches Fashion having 50% markdowns on the pouch at an incredible £57 ... I'd knew that Visa card is ready for action:-P

I ended up with not only the pouch but the matching tote as well... Success to Streetstyle pics for  making me contribute to the ailing UK economy. Thank you, dude in the pic!

Below: Size fits an ipad! Cool... now I have more excuses to get one:-P

Mens Streetstyle At Milan Mens Fashion Week: Spring Summer 2014

Below: What the boys wore at Milan Mens Fashion Week SS2014... Which looks inspire you? I know Milan Vukmirovic is my style idol. Love him in his denim shirt with interesting ethnic embroidered shoulder details... Dolce & Gabbana's SS2013 full-on printed shirt is also outstanding!

 Below: Trainers are an indispensable style statement for men now... so get a pair the likes of Valentino's highly coveted Rockrunner trainers or sporty Nikes and New Balances...

What The Men Wore: Milan Mens Fashion Week Spring Summer 2014

Milan Fashion Week Spring Summer 2014 has come to a close... and what have the boys wore during the shows? I have collected many pictures from different streetstyle photographers to give us an insight into what’s favoured by fashion savvy guys this season.

There seems to many varied styles in Milan, unlike Pitti Uomo which is more sartorial. But one thing’s constant over both events, every fashion savvy guy needs a pair of trainers! Match with suits or chinos or shorts, it’s the go-to footwear to stay on trend. I especially love those Valentino Rockrunner Trainers for their luxurious designs in brilliant colours and camouflage pattern.

Prints are also rampant... be it subtle, like micro dots and shapes or all out brash with full on imagery. Portfolio bags are indispensable too. Boys just love their 'man clutches'. Which looks are inspiring you? All in all, dress right to show your personality and fit your body type. There's a thin line between fashionable and fashion victim. More importantly, feel confident and have fun, dressing up should be enjoyed and not frowned upon. (Also watch Mr Porter's clip (above) on what's spotted at Milan Fashion Week this season. Insightful)

Below: A well cut blazer is the perfect fashion week outfit! Navy colour is classic and can never go wrong:-) Or if you are getting more adventurous, try one with subtle prints...

 Below: Statement shoes are an easy way to update your wardrobe... Loving Andrea Pompilio's SS2013 Neon coloured trim tasselled loafers and Burberry Prorsum's metallic sandals...

Mens Streetstyle At Pitti Uomo 84: Spring Summer 2014

Below: Streetstyle spotting at Pitti Uomo 84: Spring Summer 2014... What the boys are wearing now...

What The Men Wore At Pitti Uomo 84 Spring Summer 2014

Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy is one of the most important event in men’s fashion calendar. Known for the more classic line-up of brands presenting at the tradeshow, elegant gentlemen often flood the streets during this time. I love collecting streetstyle pics from Pitti Uomo, which showed us classics and good sense of style are not always flashy and fleeting.

So what are the boys wearing while attending Pitti Uomo 84: Spring Summer 2014?

Prints are the rage this time around, or more specifically, florals. Mini ones, huge hawaiian versions or graphic interpretations... boys can’t get enough of colours and flowers as much as ladies.

Balanced well, are the ever classic masculine blue/navy blues where blazer, jackets and shirts are spotted on many well clad gentlemen. Mr Porter has a video showcasing how a navy blazer is such a versatile piece in any men’s wardrobe, that can fit in many different occasions, from formal to casual. Watch it and get inspired (See video clip below).

 Below: You never go out of style with blue... it's a colour that transcend trends, which works for men of all types. Blazer, trousers, shirts and even bags are spotted on plenty of guys at the recently over Pitti Uomo...

So what do you like about the current wardrobe choices of the men at Pitti Uomo this season?

Ryan Reynolds And John Legend: Gucci Blue Nappa Leather Jacket

Below: Inspiration of the day... Bright blue for a pop of colour. Ryan Reynolds shows us how to wear tone on tone blue... l am adoring his Gucci Nappa Leather Jacket:-P

Yes To Blue: Ryan Reynolds & John Legend Wears Gucci Blue Nappa Leather Jacket

Heart throb Ryan Reynolds was spotted last week in London with Blake Lively for Gucci's "Chime For Change" charity concert. Ryan himself is already a sight to behold, but his all blue outfit makes him even more attractive. Most noteworthy, his bright blue Gucci Nappa Leather Jacket, slim fitted to perfection, complimenting the matching blue trousers, shirt and tie and of course his hot bod. He looks good both clean shaven or with stubble. Drool time officially starts...

Piling tone on tone of the same hue is an easy way to wear colour. I give Ryan credit for working some fashion inspiration. I am inspired to wear the colour now!

Singer John Legend was photographed wearing the same Gucci blue nappa leather jacket earlier this year, while attending “The Sound Of Change Live” premiere at the Corinthia Hotel in London, United Kingdom. Who do you think wore the jacket better? My vote goes to Ryan of course, except he should have worn his tight jeans slightly lower on the waist. Let your 'family jewels' have some breathing space!

Self reminder, I need to dig out some bright blues for this coming weekend:-)

Balenciaga Mini Folder Strap Briefcase

Below: Balenciaga mens bags have not been the most work appropriate... that is until now. The Balenciaga Mini Folder Strap brings some street cool to your office style. No more excuses for boring work bags:-P

Work Appropriate Street Cool: Balenciaga Mini Folder Strap

There are many Balenciaga Bag fans out there. The street cool and edgy designs makes them a fashionista and fashionisto’s must-have arm companion in any style worthy closet. However, most of the men’s style have not been exactly office appropriate. Duffels, totes and more casual designs usually dominate the mens range.

But thanks to the Balenciaga Mini Folder, guys can continue some of that street cool to their work style. Instead of carrying conventional boring briefcases to the office, be hip and young. Go with the Balenciaga Mini Folder which retains the signature styling but remodelled to a briefcase design. It was a solely hand carry design previously... but the latest version offered a very welcomed shoulder strap which makes commuting about the office much more convenient.

The front zip pocket gives easy access to any frequently used items and the creased lambskin construct is lightweight and modern. Office bag has just moved a notch towards the fashionable with the Balenciaga Mini Folder Strap. Love the one in light taupe (Avione)! Retails for USD1185.

Below: Lovely Avione colour from Spring Summer 2013... Shoulder strap eases the commuting about the workplace. Love it:-)

Brooks Brothers: The Great Gatsby Collection

Below: I love the spectacular 2013 retelling of 'The Great Gatsby'. So impressed by the art direction and especially the outfits in the movie. Want to dress like Leonard Dicaprio? Now you can:-)  Brooks Brothers has created a collection 'The Great Gatsby Collection' for sale with menswear pieces based on the designs we see in the movie... 

 Below: Tobey Maguire looked great with the green shawl collared cardigan in the movie... now you can too with just a mouse click  and US$148 away...

 Dress Like Leonardo And Tobey: Brooks Brothers 'The Great Gatsby Collection'

Movies and fashion have always been inseparable. Both are build on aspirations and visions of the directors and designers to give the audience a dream to aspire to. After watching the spectacular on screen retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ by Baz Luhrmann, I was wowed. Not only by the decadent recreation of the 1920’s American Dream but also by the immaculately dressed gentlemen of that era.

The women in the movie may have Miuccia Prada to thank for those intricate and richly detailed flapper dresses and more...  or Tiffany & Co. for the lavish diamond jewellery... the boys however can count on Brooks Brothers to smarten them up, like the gentlemen of yesteryear.

It used to be a distant dream to want to dress the part during previous movie incarnations of the classic novel... but for this 2013 remake, you can dress like Leonardo or Tobey Maguire with just an instant mouse click. Yes, Brooks Brothers has created a special collection of menswear ‘The Great Gatsby Collection’ based on the designs we see in the movie. All the pieces are available for sale online on their website.

I was won over instantly by Leonard Dicaprio’s ivory linen suit (Jacket at US$698) when he reconnected with Carey Mulligan’s ‘Daisy Buchanan’ character. I already imagined being wed in that outfit:-P
And when Tobey Maguire appeared in a handsome knitted green shawl collared cardigan (US$148), my heart was set aflutter yet again. Gorgeous classics remade with modern day relevance. A well heeled guy could wear these any day (of course, wearing it to Long Island, New York will be most appropriate).

Other noteworthy pieces from the collection includes the ‘The Great Gatsby Collection Burgundy Stripe Regatta Blazer (US$798)’ and my favourite... ‘The Great Gatsby Collection Tipped Blazer (US$798)’. There are also plenty of accessories from shoes to ties which looked equally amazing.

Living the opulent, excessive lifestyle of the super rich (as in the movie) may be unrealistic, but the collection allows everyone to at least indulge and rekindle the love of classic menswear from those past glorious days.

Below: Beautiful classic pieces reinterpreted with modern elegance... Love the stripe Regatta Blazer in Burgundy... as does the Navy Tipped Blazer...

Kenzo Striped Print Canvas Diego Sneakers

Below: Loving Kenzo's Diego Sneakers in colourful stripe print... a good or even better alternative to those collaboration Vans:-P (Modelling pic from Instagram: @valentin_well_done)

Summer Ready Shoes: Kenzo's Colourful Striped Print Canvas Diego Sneakers

If you have missed out on Kenzo’s highly sought-after collaboration Vans Sneakers in ‘Clouded Leopard’ print... fret not. There is a good alternative to those colourful summer shoes. Check out Kenzo’s Striped Print Diego Sneakers which in my opinion, spot better quality and in an equally interesting and colourful pattern. I especially love the red and blue striped version, which in a way reminds me of animal stripes such as those on a tiger. They will match well with neutrals to add a pop of colour or for a more nautical look, choose the white and navy pair which is preppy casual. The rim of the rubber soles have grated textures and spots a coloured Kenzo (not Vans!) logo plaque in the rear. Love these details.

I want both pairs, since each costs only Euro 116.22! Summer time footwear sorted for me, what about you?:-)

Below: Kenzo logo plaque on the back of the sneakers...

Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues

Below: The best of 2 key Spring Summer 2013 trends... Paul Smith's Camouflage Sole City Brogues have both camouflage and metallics all in one design:-P

When Camouflage Meets Metallics: Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues

Metallics and camouflage are 2 key trends for Spring Summer 2013. The sleek polished metallic tones are not exactly the best companion to go with grungy camouflage prints. But Paul Smith took a chance and came up with a shoe that merges the two with quite desirable results. Clever as Paul Smith is, he incorporated the brand’s irreverent British charm, side by side with these 2 key themes onto a pair of classic brogues. But funk it up just enough with a thick rubber sole to make them both formal and street cool. The camouflage pattern sits nicely as a subtle but interesting detail on the soles while the metallic tones appeared naturally as a bronze brown tone on the leather. Brilliant execution. Get your pair at www.matchesfashion.com for £255 (or approx. SGDD480) which is quite well priced for a pair of full leather shoes from a renowned designer.

Wear with suit or jeans... hybrid style footwear transcends all occassions, making them highly versatile and worth every buck:-P

Below: Looks great with denim but will be equally good with suiting:-) Hybrid shoes such as these Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues are versatile for any occassion...
