We heart: Monsieur Jerome

 Check out monsieurjerome.com, its our new favourite place to spend a few minutes here and there. A street style blog for both guys and gals, it has endless style inspiration.



The perfect red pants!

For months now we have been searching for the perfect pair of red pants. And if your are anything like we are, either every pair you try on looks ridiculous, or you dont feel like dropping $200 on bright red bottoms. The solution: American Apparel winter leggings. Perfectly thick to hold you all in and the exact shade of bright red you want. Tuck them in to a cute pair of ankle boots with a just long enough tunic and you have the perfect outfit. Plus they are only $44. Also available in other great colors, with an upcoming season full of color we feel like our closet may be full of these.

Mens Fall 2012

Paul and Joe






Well hello there!!! How cute are these looks from Paul and Joe. By far our favorite for fall 2012, these boys are dressed to the nines circa 1950s France. Everything about them shouts boardwalk gangster and we can't get enough.

Marc Jacobs





Never one to dissapoint, Marc Jacobs gave us the color we were looking for. His 90s skater themed collection might throw you off, but when you learn that there are coats lined with cherry red beaver and flannel shirts made out of cashmere, you remember why you dream about wearing Marc Jacobs.

Diesel Black Gold



 Nothing stood out of the ordinary for us with Diesel, in what seems to be a draub season for them. Infact we found our selves more interesed in the choice of models, then the clothes them selves. But how amazing is that beard!!  Bold vintage inspired facial hair might just be the biggest trend we see for fall. 

Vivienne Westwood





 Not many would cite polar explorers of the early twenthieth century as inspiration, but as always the theatrical side of Ms. Westwood draws us in and we love it. The models strutted down the runway dripping with icicles, in what seems like a very refined collection for her.

Acme



 


 In what seems like a dark and dreary fall for men Acme keeps us excited by popping in some reds and blues, and lets not forget the prints. We can't get enough of those printed suits, ooh la laa. What do you think, will you sport some spots for fall?

Alexander Mcqueen




Alexander Mcqueen is our true love! So we must give Sarah Burton props for living up to the greatest, and boy has she ever. We absolutely adore her fall 2012 mens collection, It's so very 19th century britsh aristocrat, with britches and all. These boys need to hit up Downton Abbey immediately!!

Look of the Week:

We love model Olivia Thornton's chunky red sweater. She may have been snapped by streetpeeper in sydney, but she looks like she is ready for the streets of Paris.

Animal Obsession

We are obsessed with this Aurelie biderman choker. And so is style.com magazine who featured it on their list of best accessories to hit the runway for spring 2012. How amazing would this be draped around your neck?


Lions and tigers and bears oh my! Street style has become critter obsessed, prints, patterns,or spots, and lets not forget accessories.




Animals even showed their faces on the Fall 2012 runway, from the likes of Burberry and Andrea Pompilio. Is it just us or are our four legged friends taking over?

More Pre-Fall Goodies





Gucci



Johnathan Saunders






Louis Vuitton




No 21.
What can we expect for fall? Well if pre-fall is any indication its going to be green and lots of it. Never the most popular color in anyones wardobe, but we can't wait for it to pop its head out and brighten our day. Red doesn't seem to be going anywhere either, but we love the step away from tomato into the deep dark maroons and bright coral tones that Gucci showed. And of course prints, big and bold and on everything a la Johnathan Saunders. All these treats make us giddy witih anticipation about whats to come!
