The Face of Mugler

Rick Genest for Mugler

You may recognize Rick Genest (aka Zombie boy) from Lady Gaga’s “Born this way” video. He is completely tattooed and gaining recognition in the fashion world. Nicola Formichetti selected him to be the face of Mugler and even paid his fines after it was revealed that he was homeless and sleeping on the street. I think he has a very interesting look and obviously brings out the tailoring in the proper suits. What do you think?

Bridal Inspiration {Mother of the Bride}

My mother and my future mother-in-law are very attractive ladies and at this early juncture, seem to love each other. They’ve been discussing together what to wear to our nuptials. They don’t want to dress alike but want to compliment each other. So many of the “mother of the bride” dress categories I see on sites like Dillards, Nordstorms and Macy’s are sooo not something that would make a MOB feel beautiful. I know that my mothers started dieting long before I did, so they will and they should look their best. And as an Southern girl knows, it’s their time to shine too. While I know they will unlikely be purchasing from Net-A-Porter, that site does such a lovely job of recommending styles that an actual beautiful mother of the bride would want to where. Therefore they are a good place to start for inspiration. A question I have for you, dear readers, can a MOB wear black?

Emily of Cupcakes & Cashmere – House Tour

Emilyschuman_image_002_rect640

If you haven’t heard of Cupcakes and Cashmere, you’re behind. Emily Schuman has developed a lovely blog with a religious following where she showcases outfits, recipes and shopping lists. She and her fiance moved into a new house and Apartment Therapy photographed it for our enjoyment. I like her style and decor choices, although they may not be exactly my taste, she has great ideas. See the full post (including where she purchased most everything) here.

Are we going to the same place?

Whenever my beau and I go out, I always suggest that we look like “we’re going to the same place”. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we dress alike. It just means that we are in the same neighborhood. We both look like we’re going to the same party, instead of him looking like he’s going to a frat event and me looking like I’m going to a Mad Men-themed bash. I think Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson do an exceptional job of this. They never match, rarely coordinate but always look very much together (not to mention adorable). Case in point…

This outfit objective can be applied to any situation with anyone and it always makes you and your group (your beau, your friends) look very chic.
