MensWear Fall/Winter 2011 Milan!

So I am OBSESSION with the collections for 2011 fall/winter! The usage of colour and fur on mens' clothing makes me swoon! Whether it be a fur trim collar by Dries Van Noten, or a metalic gold bomber jacket by JPG(Jean Paul Gaultier) I want it all! Sarah Burton for McQueen did, once again, a fabulous job on another collection! A personal favourite was the over-sized trench coats and the usage of colour in the outfitting.

I have to say that I am totally obsessed with JPG's collection though. I have never been a huge fan of his menswear line, but now after seeing the "James Bond" themed collection, especially the head to toe black ski bunny outfit(for me course!) I can say I am a HUGE FAN!

Check out all the collections that have walked and ROCKED the runway so far in Milan, Italy. Just log onto http://www.style.com/ , make it your home page on your computer like I have!

My styling

I finally got a small break! I was contacted by a photographer last week who asked me to style a photo shoot for him, the best thing was he wanted ME! We met and spoke about ideas, clothing, and a story board. 3 looks maybe 4, a desert set. I went to work as soon as I got the call, looks were just flying through my mind. We decided on 3 looks; Denim, texture, and boho. However, this photographer is know for his tasteful nude shots so he made sure that I kept in mind sexy, and some skin. Since most of the looks were quite covered I made sure instead of a pant we did a short or and off the shoulder sweater top that showed her shoulder and collar.

We got to the set(a desert, dooned area in brampton, ontario) at 9am and jumped right into work. Thankfully the weather held-up for us, even though it was supposed to rain. By 11am the area was swarmed with people. The set is a land mark for the area and when we looked around there were at least 100 people walking, playing, taking pictures. This made it very difficult to stay in one place to do the shots, we ended up getting sand all over ourselves.

At the end of the day the pictures that were taken ended up looking fantastic. The model was happy, but most important the photographer was so happy and extremely happy with my work. We started to talk about the next shoot he wants to do and thankfully he wants me to style that shoot for him again!

Angels on the Runway

Gisele Bundchen and Miranda Kerr walked for Nicolas Ghesquiere's Spring/Summer 2011 Balenciaga show. Loved all the patterns and textures for the season. Whats not to love about Nicolas' designs.

Hope skip and jump to Paris!

I DIE for Zac Posen! It makes me wanted to be a 6 foot, slender, long legged lady! His designs make every woman feel beautiful, and his shows always seem so romantic. He has his first this morning in Paris, France, for Spring/Summer 2011. Opening it with Karlie Kloss in coral feathers and 2 toned leggings, FANTASTIC! Coco Rocha, drapped in chiffon, and a horse-hair details black jacket.

Oh Canada!

Ah! I cannot even BEING to explain how excited I get when I start to see plaids! Honestly, it must be my inner hetero fighting through....or just my Canadian spirit(i was a cheerleader you know!)!!

Personally I am always one for the classic rich red and black pattern. Nothing says fall is here like men and women dressing a little "woodies". Anyone can pull off a plaid shirt, there is just an easy way to do it and see look cute. I tend to find ladies especially tend to get nervous around plaids as they might look a little masculine, but there is an easy way to "kiss" the outfit to make it sexy. Few pointers ladies.....get a pair of well fitted denim to show of those sexy legs and curves you got! Find a cute pair of "woodies" looking heels[here I found a pair of simple brown lace up, round toed booties], and don't be scared to accessorize!!! Throw in a beaded chain necklace, a wooden bangle, and an over-sized handbag.

Men, I cannot stress enough how SEXY it is to see a well dressed man in a combat boot. With all you casual looks this season throw on a pair of plain black or brown combat boots and hit the streets. A man in a plaid shirt, nice dark denim, and a sexy over the ankle boot says nothing more to me than HOT HOT HOT!!! You will make the girls swoon and the gays go "GAGA"!

With all this plaid it has the retailers sing 'Oh, Canada!'
