Manolo Blahnik’s name is of course familiar to shoe fetishists and Sex & the City slatterns. Quite apart from that however he is also one of the world’s best-dressed men. The dapper designer has both the panache and gravitas to pull off the old school double-breasted suit and bowtie look in a way that few men really can. Note that he does not look remotely silly even when clutching a satin stiletto (he’s about to sign it for some Bergdorf Blondes, not try it on). Note also the ticket pocket and turned-back cuffs on the jacket which fairly shout “bespoke”; the jacquard bowtie of perfect proportion, disheveled just enough so that there can be no question of its being one of those horrific pre-tied affairs; the natty tortoiseshell specs; and the bodacious boutonniere, a nice Wildean touch. Whether he chose the suit to match the shoe we wouldn’t venture to say.

    Daily Obsesh: Daytime Dazzle

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Many people shy away from metallics during the daytime and save the glitters for the evening. However, it is never too early to add a little bit of dazzle to your daily outfit. That is exactly why we love this white jacket with gold lining on the sleeve that is featured in the Girl's Life magazine. Simple and chic white fitted jacket is accented with sparkling metallic gold on the sleeve, making this jacket more attractive. Match it with simple or soft colored bottom to complement the bright top, or go all out with stylish prints or little bit more sparkle.
