Men style...Blazers

Blazers are so hot this season for men. All colors and fabrics. Blazers can be casual or dressed up.

Velvet blazers are great for this season's Holiday parties. Leave the black and brown for another day and really make a statement and leave a lasting impression in a green velvet blazers. You can rock this with jeans or slacks for a modern look. All "eyes" will be on you!
 

Rock a color corduroy blazer with a vest underneath for that special date. Use contrasting colors to really do it up.  Your date will respect you for really taking the time and making her/him feel special.

I just love love this tunnel neck double breasted military inspired jkt. Rock it with dark denim for a great night on the down.

This tweed jacket isn't your dad's tweed.  The single vertical bottons lined up is very slimming (yes men care about things like that too) .

Men style...Blazers

They are back with a passion... asymetric and one sleeve

They are back indeed. I love this trend. You can take it as far as you want. 
It's flattering because it draws the eye to the smallest part of a women's body, the collar bone and shows off your shoulders with out showing too much.

We have seen Kim K rocking this style at numerous events.

Check out some of my style choices.

Robert Rodriquez created this biker chic studded one sleeve dress and top.

This nude and black sheer combination is great for a cocktail party. Put on a statement piece of jewelry and you are ready to party.

For those of us more daring, this all over animal print will definitely make an impact and leave an impression when you walk thru the doors.  Armani did it well when they made this one.

This Pucci design reads "fashionista" all over it.  I would rock it with opague grey tights and grey ankle booties.

Step out in white and break all the "rules" in this layered pedal dress. Wear all white accessories with this look...white earrings, white chunky bracelet, white ring and really make a STATEMENT!

This deep purple velvet dress is perfect for the office party. Polished and chic with a hint of trendy.

For more conservatitive look pair a flowing asymetric top your your favorite black suit for the office and take off the blazer for your "After-Work" events.

Blazers...not just for the office!!!

Get more use out of your suits. Pair your blazer with skinny jeans, dress or a mini skirt. Make it sexy and play up your feminine style for contrast.

This blazer totally reminds us of the Dynasty days.  The embellishment makes it modern. Rock it with a jumper and you're ready for the next social event.

I love this exaggerated shoulder. This is a great way to make your waistline appear even smaller.

This blazer combines this season's ruffles to add a very feminine touch. Wear it with white to keep the look clean and polished. Make a statement at the next board meeting.

Rock it with a mini dress to add some coverage and keep the look sexy and playful.  Great date night attire.
