Men’s Wear Trend: Fashion Power

For fall 2012, the traditional business suit has gone through a much-needed fashion makeover and been turned into a sleek, youthful and modern ensemble. Tailored clothing manufacturers are proposing a formfitting silhouette, with narrow lapels and tight, defined shoulders that will empower any executive.

Christian Louboutin John John Shoes

This Christian Louboutin John John Men’s Flat Shoe from the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection retails at $865. I must say I really like the style and look of the shoe. They remind me of the classic style of the 20’s and 30’s where the lace-up style shoes were in high demand.   They can definitely be rocked with a nice tailored suit or a pair of designer jeans.  I’m diggin’ them!!!  Something to have chillin’ in the shoe collection. They’re offered in multicolored variations: one in navy blue/gray and the other in burgundy/light blue.

Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2012 Roller-Boat Spikes Flat Sneakers

Christian Louboutin continues with the spikes for their Spring/Summer 2012 Men’s Footwear Collection. Regarded as the more casual rendition of the Rollerboy Spikes loafer, the Roller-boat mens sneaker retailing at about $1,095 features a black woven calf leather upper covered with silver studs on a thick rubber sole.  I prefer these over the high top one’s, but still couldn’t see myself wearing them more than a few times.  They just seem like a shoe that sits on display within your shoe collection.  Now if I had the bread like that  to cop thousand dollar shoes, that’s a different story!!

The Beyonce  full promotional blast has begun.  She poses for not 1, 2, but 3 covers of W magazine. I wanted this record to come from a raw place,” she told the  magazine  of her fourth album 4, due June 28. “Playing Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records really changed me. It was a darker character, and I realized that if anything is too comfortable, I want to run from it. It’s no fun being safe.”
