I Gotta Invest in Some Christopher Kane Spring 2014
Cuz these structured sweat pieces
would actually inspire me
to go to the gym
And the short set above would show off
my killer gams
Maybe not the Tevas, though

Three Reasons I love Resort Collection (In Pictures)
When I was in Toronto, my friend, fellow fashion writer Naomi Mdudu from The Fashpack and I were talking about Resort collections and how much we liked them. She brought up some good points on why they are the emerging fashion darling of the designer collections and added to my personal reasons why I love these "in-betweeners"
1. They offer sharp and necessary change for the designers at retail
It's late December / early January and you are now officially bored with your tartans and tweeds you so romanticized mere months ago. You want change from the mounds of snow and 30 and below. Enter tropical prints and soft silks
2. They allow designers to test Spring collection ideas
Your strengths lie in designing graphic, clean colorblocking and mixed media shoes. The public's pep for peplums has popped. Now you know before you waste valuable assets and store space to these ideas. Carrying over proven ideas into the next season is a lot easier when you have a test lab without the Spring delivery pressures

3. They're no longer for rich folks who 'resort'
Resort began as a way to showcase swimwear for luxury clients who don't know what the term 'cabin fever' means. The jet-set elite who literally jumped in their jets for warmer climes at the first snowflake. Worry not, you 1%, Resort still shows lighter weights and, of course, a swimsuit or two, but these are also great pieces for work or wear with heavy coats - those aforementioned tweeds are instantly exciting again!

Every Gent Needs
I'ma start a new regular post on It Can't All Be Dior on pieces essential to a men's wardrobe since that might be one of the most commonly asked questions I receive.
As a gent who quite often wears a tie, I can't rave enough about a navy with white pin dot number. It is an essential for every wardrobe as it pulls every look together. I was fortunate enough to inherit my grandfather's insanely versatile vintage Yves Saint Laurent, but I love this cotton option from Good Heavens on Etsy
Skinny, preppy and sophisticated. Like the Renata Boeck of ties. And the first of the list of things, Every Gent Needs

Resort to This: Phillip Lim's Office-Friendly Resort Collection
"Who has the time to go on vacation anymore?" wondered Phillip Lim to Style.com at his Resort 2014 showing this week.
Sure enough the collection had a nice mish-mash of lux laddies who languish on islands post New Years and the women who have to schlep back to the office
Of course, keep in mind, I'm a full time fashion writer. These are the things ladies wear to work in my experience

"I found some amazing pictures of my mom on holiday," Erdem Moralioglu stated as his inspiration for Resort 2014
Wow, judging from the lace, sheers and full skirts in this sweet and strong Erdem showing, she sure was one foxy momma!
