I love everything about this editorial, especially the leather gloves, the tailored blazers and the hair.

Karl’s Trimmings: Suit – Banana Republic (tailored), Chocolate Tie-Up Wing Tips – BOSS,

Pay,  First you know I am one of your favs. Your family oreinted, in touch with life and have impeccable style.  I saw the pic of Becca - WOW! Now, I am no longer in NWA but I still consider it home.  Some of my most recent favorite looks! I want in!

AMAZING. As previously stated, I love a well-dressed man.

(Style Stalker) Becca Henry

I am starting a new thing. Today I saw a girl at work who is always (especially today) impossibly chic and put together. Immediately I decided to “style stalk” the beautiful people of NWA. I politely asked her if she would be first. She accepted. This is Becca.

Becca’s Trimmings: Dress – Anthropologie, Cardigan – Anthropologie, Boots – Private Gallery, Bracelets – Anthropologie & Masons, Ring – Banana Republic

Doesn’t this girl/outfit beg to be photographed?

I never thought I’d want it, but I do.

I surprise myself sometimes…my most coveted items for fall are things I would have never thought I would want.

The Glory of a Well Dressed Man

Mine eyes have seen the glory of a well-dressed man. This spin on the battle hymn of the republic keeps playing in my head. It’s so true. I think a lot of women might protest that they “don’t want a prissy guy”, or they are turned off by the idea of a beau that spends more than them on pants or accessories, they may even be fearful that a man’s pride in the way he looks could signify something effeminate.

Ladies, I dare to disagree. Think Justin Timberlake or Jude Law, think Robert Pattinson and Joshua Jackson, even call Dwayne Wade to mind. My bf calls Mr. Wade the best dressed man in sports. While there is a fine line between Chuck Bass’ ascots and a well-tailored three-piece suit…a guy who knows what fits, knows where to shop and (heaven-forbid) knows when he looks good is truly valuable. See these best dressed men galleries from Vogue, Esquire, GQ UK , GQ Men of Style and GQ’s most stylish.

I’m not just talking about formal-wear. I’m addressing the whole wardrobe. I always tell my boyfriend we need to “look like we’re going to the same place” and that doesn’t mean we need to match. This whole tirade actually started because I found some AMAZING online shops for men. I’ll go ahead and share those now…

Fine & Dandy has accessories and shoes of all kinds at phenomenal prices. (under $50 for all bowties and ties)

Bonobos has clothing and shoes,  all available to be tailored and very affordable.
