I Like Men in Fine & Dandy

Earlier this week, our friends at Fine and Dandy celebrated their one year anniversary and released their 2009 lookbook. Congratulations, boys! We're so proud of you!
In a previous post, I've mentioned how I like it when boys suit up because it gives them an aura of confidence. The same applies to bow ties and other men's accessories. It's fun, cute and often hot.

Here are a few of my favorite fall looks from Fine and Dandy. The use of colors, patterns, and textures - perfection! I especially love the last shot. Wardrobe lust! I want that in my closet now.


The lookbook was shot by photographer Patrick Roxas. You can (and should) view the rest here. It's sharp and absolutely fantastic.

Trends: School Ties

Lanvin Spring 2010, Gianfranco Ferre Spring 2010

It's not just because of my recent Gossip Girl birthday although school girl/boy is on the brain, but I've noticed that the in terms of ties the striped schoolboy skinny is pretty hot right now! Weather it be subtle prep school-esque stripes at Lanvin to wide and bold at Moschino the look has been all over the Men's Spring 2010 runways. My personal fave is the clean very graphic and sporty look of the stripes at Jean Paul Gaultier. I think ties are def the easiest way to wake up a dull suit, so pattern is good! Which look do you like best?
