An intro to menswear

Hey everyone,

I thought it would be helpful to give you all a little introduction as to who I am, and what my contribution to our blog is. Firstly, my name's Emma and I'll be doing our menswear posts from here on out. To stick with our "If We Were Rich" theme, I'll be writing along the lines of if I were "Rich", a 20 year-old guy. Let me also make it very clear to you that while I love men's fashion, I love Christian Louboutin and really sappy "romantic" reality TV just as much. So I am in fact a very typical, well-adjusted girl who expresses her femininity daily.  For me, it’s the chase of a challenge because it’s clothing that I can never wear myself. Anyways, after a rather lengthy, and thorough introduction full of justifications, let me begin my post on what's been catching my eye lately as far as menswear - fashion in hip hop. I was watching RapCity on MuchMusic a couple days ago, and they showed this clip of Leaders Of The New School from ‘92. What caught my attention was all of their outfits, and how contemporary they still are almost 20 years later. (P.S. How cute is Busta Rhymes’ turtleneck!?) 

If I were Rich, I'd be looking to fashion hip-hop heavyweights such as Kanye West, Pharrell, Andre 3000, Tyler The Creator, Drake and Mac Miller for fashion inspiration. 

Kanye West - Perfection. Nothing needs to be added, nor subtracted from this outfit. 

Pharrell - A Canadian tuxedo and teal boat shoes have never looked so good.

Andre 3000 - He's actually just way too cool for me to even dissect his outfit.

Tyler The Creator(Right) - I admire anyone who can make a Hawaiian shirt and tube socks  paired together look good. 

 Drake - The luxury of an Hermès belt is not lost in this ensemble of dark denim, a hoodie and Red Wing boots.

Mac Miller - A cuffed jean with argyle socks is pure brilliance to me. 

And lastly, just because this might be one of my favourite photos of all time....

Hello dolls,

Ever wish you were rich, famous, and had an endless amount of designer clothing? Yeah so do we. But were not so we pretend we do by living vicariously through the wealthy, and today the wealthy consist of gorgeous celebrities all competing for shiny golf trophies. Lets take a look at the dresses that make us wish we were rich.

   

Here we see four of our favourite TV personalities all in red. Its no secret that red is one of the biggest colours this season but these ladies show us why.

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang, Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan, Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano and Guliana Rancic are all top contenders for best dressed but with such similar ideas who will take the cake?

Evan Rachel Wood shows us how sequins are really done in Elie Saab. Most fair skinned women cant pull off long black dresses without looking like a member of the adams family but this dress hugs and shines in all the right places.

Cobie Smulders shows everyone that red not the only colour to wear to capture attention in a turquoise Alberta Ferreti dress. The knotted straps, cinched waist and flowing skirt flatter her perfectly making her look long and lean.

The always classy Rashida Jones also came in Alberta Ferretti looking tasteful and elegant.

Last but certainly not least we have Kelly Osbourne in a plum gown by J Mendel Palladium and looking better then ever. The on and of the shoulder strap make upper half look less exposed and the mermaid dress showed of Kelly's fabulous new figure perfectly.
