Focus on Men’s Furnishings

If you consider your body to be the “house” then it makes senses to think that men’s furnishings would be the little but significant things that make the ‘house a home‘.  One of those telltale furnishings is your wallet — a beautiful wallet tells the story of how you got where you are, how well [...]

Tough Luck & Tough Chic

This belt, found at Topshop($80), is a terrific find if you’re interested in the ‘tough chic’ look that is popular this fall.  This belt can be worn with jeans and a plain white shirt, or add it to an open long cardigan to ensure you’re not looking like a Talbots poster child, or work it [...]

Boot Hauteness

This Michael Kors boot is $248 – this grey and black 4-inch platform heel is stellar.  And I’m excited to scoop it….at Gilt Groupe!

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all of the Blueprint for Style readers….and Blueprint for Style tweople, simply put: Happy Thanksgiving!

Better Late Than Never – The Perfect Combination of Style & Beauty

I say ‘better late than never‘ because this post should have gone up a week ago but, I was holding off in hopes of receiving photos from the person responsible for taking the photos but to no avail — so, the show must go on photo-free! What do you get when you mix HerStylzShop and luxe [...]

LBD Alternative

I am loving this jumpsuit as the perfect alternative to the LBD — just more fun!  It’s edgier, more comfortable, can be worn to more places, and you can still sport high heels with it! This cropped jumpsuit by Michael Kors is $189.50 — other alternatives exist but I think it’s haute!!

Basic Black Shoes

Today is the last day to take advantage of 15% your entire Shoes.com purchase using promo code TAKE15.  I do not shop shoes.com regularly because, frankly, there are too many shoes and, even more frankly, too many bad shoes but once in a while, you can find something very worthwhile. I love, love, love these Kenneth [...]

Be Cool & Stay Warm

The look for fall/winter and, might we add, in general is trending toward a slightly leaner and slim silhouette for guys…and you’ll see this in the new selection of thin ties, slim-fit shirts, and narrower cut suits.  But, as winter approaches, you need to ensure you are contemporary, stylish, warm but cool — and a [...]

Glad to be a Gladiator

I saw this picture…. And then decided I loved the Eden gladiator bootie by Michael Antonio….and it’s only $65 at flyjane.net.  The purple color is “it” this fall, the bootie is supposed to be ‘in fashion’ but, the entire outfit looks great!

Ooh La La, Ooh I Want It!

I’m talking about this beautiful large black leather chain handle shoulder bag by Chanel.  It’s on sale today (12-5pm only) at Portero.  Normally priced at $2,895 which is a relative steal, today between 12pm and 5pm it’s $2,605.  I don’t have to sell you on this bag — it’s a classic and you’d have it [...]
