While it’s ok to wear men’s shoes, I find that loafers for women fit better. In building a collection, I look at different fabrics, colors, toe-points and styles. As I build my collection, I am personally drooling over this list – especially the floral’s as we move into spring. But I say wear floral’s anytime […]

Have you ever seen Joe Bastianich from the TV show Master Chef? Or know of him from some of his famous NYC Italian eateries? I take away one thing from this critically acclaimed chef. I don’t remember him for his talents, his harsh judging skills, no no. I remember him for his S.T.Y.Y.E. His signature outfit is a button down shirt, dinner jacket, dark jeans, killer sneakers, and a scarf that matches his sneakers EVERY SINGLE TIME. Pops of color with every outfit. So how to wear a pocket square GQ? This Joe Bastianich. He knows who he is, and what he wants. With an intricate stained glass window effect, Alexander McQueens silk pocket scarf is not only GQ, it’s for a man who knows who he is, and what he want. Signature skull emblem at outer corner. 14″ square. 100% silk. Made in Italy.

Even under Sarah Burton’s reign, the “McQueen” mastery still continues. As THE designer that designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, Burton still stays true to form with a classic edginess as seen here with this clutch. I have always lamented that clutch handbags are the most versatile. They come in so many varieties, all under the umbrella of a “Clutch”. Inspired by the geometric shape of bats, this black leather clutch is a stunner. Uber sleek in its construction, its minimally finished with silver tone hardware, with signature fold over corners with magnetic fasteners. Approx 15″ length x 8″ height x 2″ width. Leather. Made in Italy. It girl Sarah Burton designer for Alexander McQueen, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Phewwww!!!

Fashion is often inspired by religion, so it only makes sense that Alexander McQueen draws inspiration from stained glass windows. I’m loving McQueen’s bat shaped clutch, as its unique, bright and is a PERFECT day to evening clutch. The geometric patterns pair perfectly with the geometric shape of the bag. Unique clutch bags are so versatile and they offer you day time chic, and nighttime pops of color. The fold over corners with magnetic closure give the bag a structured look, bringing geometry into play. I love it! Made from Leather, with a navy satin interior finish. Approx 15″ length x 9″ height x 2″width. Made in Italy.
