Watching the Billie Achilleos collaboration with Louis Vuitton is amazing! She is so creative and the detail impeccable. Anyone have a pet Louis up to adoption?!

Men's Spring/Summer 2011 Top Picks

One thing you will notice about great fashion on men is that it appears to be styled effortlessly; nothing is worse than overkill. Don't be fooled by the price and expect the piece to do magic. Fashion needs to be taken in like art and then incorporated into your own style. Here are some of my top looks for men's spring/summer 2011.

Dsquared²

Salvatore Ferragamo - Gucci - Michael Kors

Trussardi 1911 - Robert Geller - John Varvatos

Louis Vuitton - Michael Bastian - Alexis Mabille

Iceberg - Simon Spurr - Hermés

Leave it to Dolce&Gabbana to deliver pieces that tell a story and take you on a journey. Lace has been used in numerous ways to create a sense of romance and elegancy, and that's exactly what these sunglasses represent. I can't wait to see the rest of the collection, as I'm sure it will be enchanting.

chapeaux

I officially want to wear hats everyday. Hats have always been a staple for men, from being associated with uniform, to the trendy city guy in a fedora. I love that nowadays there are so many different styles to choose from. Whatever you style, try experimenting with an excellent topper this summer to bring your look together.

forgive me father, for i have sinned

Anna de Rijk: Harpers Bazaar Spain, June 2011

My new found love is everything acid washed, spiked, and rough around the edges. I especially love the girls with enough attitude to pull it off.
