Champagne Rain

New year's eve is tonight and whatever the plans are, celebrate in style.

You might choose to sit in front of the TV with a glass of wine and a grudge or you might party all through the night with all your friends. Perhaps you're stuck at a tedious family event, but all will be well if you look the part.

Tonight's the ideal night to dress up and add an extra kick to your outfit, a bow tie or some cufflinks would be great, and no one will frown upon a little overdressing.

I found some amazing images from an editorial in L'Officiel Homme, I'm sure these impeccable outfits can be a source of inspiration for tonight (click them to enlarge, they're quite big!)

I want to thank (all) my reader(s) for the support this past year and I hope you had a great 2009.

May the new year be filled with great joy, love and style.

xoxo

Spectacle-ular

Wow. Check out my absurd(ly creative) title.
Aside from my linguistic endeavours, I am inspired by the recent destruction of my own glasses. Dark brown Burberry Prorsums that I shall never forget as they lay - snapped in two - on the piled carcasses of older specs.
My life has been a compilation of eyewear: I've gone from round to oval to square to rectangular and now it's time to move on.

These are the ones I am eyeing (get it? eyeing? I know, my puns rule!) at the moment:

Dior Homme black tie ($169)

Persol

Prada ($168)


But we all know that you can't pick glasses unless you try them on in real life, so consider this post purely cathartic and for fashion's sake.
Ta!

Fashion Alfabet

Forget 'a, b, c': my alfabet starts with A.P.C.
This French minimalist brand, that actually stands for 'Atelier de Production et de Création', is doing my head in.
I adore their winter collection and normally I'd just post these shots on my Facebook fanpage album 'I Die', but I think they deserve a special spot on the blog. I love the clean lines and these outfits just say: Parisian guy strolling down les rues with a roll-up in one hand and Proust novel in the other, non?
And most importantly: je meurs for those boots (€310 217)!

Merry Christmas!

For those among you that celebrate Christmas, just a quick post to wish you lots of joy and laughter with friends and family this Christmas Eve and loads of presents and fine wining and dining tomorrow on Christmas day.
What better way to celebrate than with the gift of Hermès?
Their winter collection advertisements look like Christmas cards, so that's why I'm posting them today!
Happy holidays, folks, and celebrate in style!
