Fashionable Friends

You know you're in good company when you're sitting across from someone toting a pink Marc Jacobs bag and wearing a CC Skye bullet necklace...I was in very good company this weekend when I got the chance to connect with a long time friend visiting from Chicago.  I don't subscribe to the 'let's take pictures of our outfits' style of blogging but I couldn't resist a photo-op with her killer accessories.

Men's Style

While on my way to work the other day I ran into none other than Brad Goreski...you know the talented celebrity stylist and ex-co-star of the Rachel Zoe Project. He was looking chic in his signature tie/vest combo with distressed jeans and it got me thinking about men's style.

Although my background is in women's design and styling, I think it is way past due for me to give a little acknowledgement to the men who understand the art of fashion and give you and the men in your life a few inspirational/inspirational ideas to build your look. My top five guys with style (in no particular order) include:

-Marc Jacobs; he has kept the masses stylish for decades and in the past few years he has shifted focus to himself and stepped up his own look. Whether its a kilt or jeans Jacobs makes it work

-Brad Goreski; always looks put together no matter where he goes, and who doesn't like a bow tie?

David Beckham; enough said

Kanye West; no matter what you think of him Kanye not only understands fashion but supports the industry, lets face he's got style
