City Boy Stuck In The Suburbs is a story about a boy who lives his life as an urban kid, while living in the suburbs. Someday, the boy will grow up, and will be able to live in the big city, but until then...
So today I turned 16; a big milestone for girls...not that big for boys, but a few of my friends mentioned that I should make a special post today to show what my ideal birthday suit would be without a budget and any rules, of course. One of my favorite ways to style clothes for myself is layering. So my outfit will embody that idea with twists involved so every layer can be seen at once. My first layer would be this gorgeous blue slim fitted Martin Margiela shirt. What I love about this shirt, is that it's very slimming to the body, and it has great tiny details in the woven stripes down the shirt. Over the shirt, I would layer on this grey and black trimmed Dsquared cardigan. What I really like about this cardigan is its trimming in a different color that gives it a sharp modern feel. On top of the cardigan, I would be wearing this gorgeous leather Balmain blazer. I really love this blazer's lapels, and that the leather is wrinkled to make the blazer seem less formal. I would pair all of these tops with a pair of these skinny clean cut dark jeans from Rag and Bone. For accessories, I would wear these very unique pair of Ann Demeulemeester high top black suede and leather sneakers, and this very chic black suede Burberry Prorsum messenger bag. What I really like about this outfit, is that there are a lot of different fabrics and colors that are paired together to give a certain look to the outfit. The outfit truly embodies my personal taste in menswear that I will hopefully someday be able to fully express through designers like Balmain, Lanvin, Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, Margiela, and Rag and Bone.
Everyone is familiar with Fendi as the Italian fashion house known for their famous "F's" print on handbags. But Fendi's clothes is definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about this Italian-bred fashion company. Fendi's clothes are known to be very trendy but at the same time conservative. Each season follows these same guidelines, making each and every Fendi piece a long lasting collectible. For this upcoming season, Karl Lagerfeld most definitely kept in mind that a recession was taking place, because now more then ever, his ready to wear line for Fendi reflects a timeless feel about it that still seems very current at the same time. But Lagerfeld did not play it safe, which makes this collection so beautiful. Most people will not go out and purchase this leather bustier top, but its relatively low price for such a sculptural piece of wearable art still keeps it in the horizon for those fashionistas who like to stay on the avant garde side. Some of the high points of the collection were this effortlessly chic wool cardigan, this gorgeously mohair detailed high waisted wool skirt, this ultra cute faux bustier top, this romantic yet military inspired wool dress, and this fitted wool shoulder detailed dress. But my favorite piece of the whole collection was this ingenious pair of skinny wool pants. I love how it's Fendi's take on a pair of leggings; it's cropped, designed of wool, and can be worn as a trouser or as a casual pair of leggings. The greatest part about the piece, though, is it's incredible price point that makes it a true find. Hopefully Karl Lagerfeld will keep on delivering ethereal Fendi clothes in seasons to come.
