Well Suited

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 by mfn

There is nothing quite like a well dressed man to take your breath away. In fact, Jacqueline Kennedy once wrote that ‘If men only knew how great they looked in their white tie and tails, they would wear them every night of their lives.’ I must say, I have to agree.

Is it terrible however, that in this day and age, I’m just happy with a man in an elegant suit?

The following photographs are from the The Sartoralist. This blog always has the best dressed men - and Scott always writes interesting tidbits about why the outfit works so well - and he is always exceptionally gracious about his studies.

Three happy men!

Hello Summer!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 by mfn

I was getting my daily fill of my favourite blogs the other day, when I came across the most gorgeous photograph of the most elegant looking Parisian lady, looking summery, yet sophisticated in shorts and a shirt.

Habitually Chic had reblogged this from The Sartorialist – however the copy that The Sartorialist wrote about this was so spot on – that I wanted to share it with you:


What a great way to look this summer: so simple and yet so refined.

I love that her shorts aren’t too short and that her top isn’t too tight. Nothing screams in this look and yet the presentation is very strong.

This is a great example of elegance successfully achieved through understatement and flawless execution.

I think that describes the essence of how I would always like to dress!!

Of course, I in turn emailed this link to one of my best friends (who could give the best fashion stylists a run for their money) so that she could help me organise this as one of ‘my looks’ for summer. I had to laugh when she advised me that she had already seen this shot and had put it away in her ‘summer inspiration’ folder!!! I think it’s going to be a good summer ……………!
