Let’s talk about men’s fashion…

Paul Fredrick is a great company that introduces men to a classic and versatile style. It’s a smart style for men. The company was founded 25 years ago. They originally specialized in dress shirts, but their collection has grown exponentially. Paul Fredrick designs, manufactures and directly distributes every item in their collection. No wholesalers. No store fronts. Just great style at everyday prices.

Even though Paul Fredrick Fall 2014 Collection is out, I would like to talk about their Summer Collection for now. It features variety of formal dress shirts, patterned ties and suits for men. Incorporating bold prints in their ties to complement the range of bright colors available in their range of shirts, the collection makes a bold statement with its block colors and stripes.

Summer season is a Wedding season, and if you are invited to a wedding and don’t know where to start, you will find some helpful tips in this article on how to dress up well for the wedding, and Paul Fredrick Summer collection will help me with that. It has great styles to choose from, so let’s take a closer look at it.

The collection features trendy pastel colors. Light pink, blue, and green color dress shirt give the look a soft touch, while suits of pastel tones will create a refreshing look for summer.

The suits are made of 100% cotton seersucker, which will keep you comfortable even out in the sun, and set off with the bold designs and prints of their signature ties, make an impressive statement. This type of suit can be worn to a casual wedding or a wedding at a daytime.

Paul Fredrick summer collection has a wide selection of ties. Wear a bold, dotted, striped or floral tie to create a confident look. Remember to emphasize one main color in the look, and choose the other ones to compliment the main one.

I would recommend wearing darker suits like black or gray for a wedding in the evening. A dressy shirt with turned–down collar will look classy and elegant. Add an attractive tie bright and bold for stylish and modern look. Add a lighter color tie for a softer look.

Style is simplicity. Don’t mix large patterns or your outfit will look too busy and clattered.  If you want a more textured look, wear smaller scale patterns. They are more forgiving when pairing with other patterns.

Visit Paul Fredrick website and see all the different styles and colors they offer.

As I was looking for some inspiration for my blog, I came across this Fall-Winter 2013-2014 collection from Michael Kors. The collection is filled with elegance, refinement, and simplicity.  It includes limited use of accessories, instead the main accent falls on colors, assertive lines and charisma. Two-tone outfits, camouflage pattern, black leather and aggressive zippers add drama and character to the collection. Check it out!

 This morning Warby Parker has launched their limited edition Fall Collection 2013!

 “Let’s find you some amazing glasses.”- Warby Parker 

I am so glad to be one of the first bloggers to announce Warby Parker Fall Collection 2013. I was really happy to discover this American company that sells prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.

The company is only three years old, but has quickly become popular for many good reasons. Their eyewear is made in America, designed in-house, and is sold directly to customers to avoid retail markup. Their budget-friendly prices start at $95 with free shipping and free returns. In addition to that, Warby Parker is building a company to do good in the world, and their “Buy a pair, give a pair” commitment totally proves that. For every pair of glasses purchased, a pair is distributed to someone in need. This reason, above all, is why I will be purchasing all my glasses from them in the future!

Warby Parker eyewear is known for its quality and style with vintage-inspired, classic and sophisticated shapes. Their Fall Collection 2013 represents unique, vintage-style eyeglasses that are trendy, but also will take you back to early sixties in America.

“Our newest collection for Fall 2013 recalls the shaky years when social change was nearing take-off, just before the Surgeon General denounced smoking and hemlines creeped north. We aimed to capture this enthusiasm in our second TV commercial…It’s a paean to the literary life.

 The collection debuts five new frames in a mix of material – bold acetate in rich, autumnal colors at the brow and nose, and stainless steel-rimmed lenses. Each name – Ames, Ripley, Rowan. Holcomb and Ellison – is a reverent bow to some of our favorite literary references of the time. The 15 options, featuring sunwear and optical, provide midcentury style without the flea market goose chase. They’re instant classics for the post-aughts.” – Warby Parker

Here are some of my favorite eyewear for this Fall Collection:

 Ames

Whiskey Tortoise

Holcomb

Today I would like write about a wonderful website www.TopWedding.com. The site is overloaded with beautiful dresses and accessories for special occasions. There is a huge collection of dresses for weddings, receptions, graduation, cocktail parties, etc. Remember me talking about that special little black dress? Well, they have it there too!

However, the name of the site says it all. They have a large variety of bridal gowns, and in many styles, made with beautiful fabric appropriate for different seasons. Their dresses are elegant and many are stunning. I remember when I was getting married, almost nine years ago, I wore a beautiful romantic dress. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamt of my own wedding. To me, a wedding is when a bride transforms into a princess for the night, and so I feel like the dress should be very special. I’m not a big fan of modern, short or too revealing dresses, instead I always liked the classic look.  

Today I would like share with you my five favorite bridal gowns from www.TopWedding.com. I will also explain why each one of them is special to me.

#5

Empire Style Floral Off the Shoulder Flowing Satin Chiffon Bridal Gown

The dress I chose as my #5 favorite is a surprise to me, as it has nothing to do with the princess-like look. My preference for wedding dresses is all one color, either white or off-white. However, somehow I fell in love with this dress. Why? Well, sometimes we love things just because we love them. I think I had one of those moments. The black belt does not take away from the innocence one likes to see in a bride’s dress. The dress is romantic, feminine, flattering, and simply stunning.      

 #4  

Sweetheart Organza Ball Gown with Embroidery and Rhinestone

 I love this pure white dress I picked as my #4! It’s very elegant and glamorous. Soft organza swirling throughout the skirt adds volume to the skirt, and gives it romantic princess charm.          

 #3

Strapless Satin Beaded and Appliqued Mermaid Gown with 3D Flower

Short dresses or mermaid-style ones are not something I personally would consider for my wedding. However, I chose this mermaid-style dress as one of my favorites without having any good explanation. I like how the dress flatters the figure, and I love the flowers and pearls randomly spread out all over the dress. There is something different about this dress, something that would make a woman feel very special on her wedding day.          

     #2    

Strapless Ruched Ball Gown with Tiered Organza Skirt

This dress associates with three words: simple, innocent, and romantic. I like how the main details are on the skirt, and the top accentuates the waistline. I also love the lack of jewelry. It creates a simple and stylish look that is very impressive. Elegant simplicity is always in fashion.                  

     #1      

Ivory V Neck Satin Ball Gown with Sequined Applique and Bowknot

…and here is my Top Favorite! I was very surprised to find this gown, as it’s almost identical to the one that was made for me thousands of miles away from here for my wedding in 2004. So, I would have to say that this dress is very special to me, as it brought back those wonderful moments of that one special night with my handsome, one of a kind groom. 🙂  

V-neck embellished with sequin, beading and rhinestones and a full skirt gathered at the waistline creates that special princess feel when wearing the dress. In addition, an oversized bowknot on the side of the dress adds a touch of allure. This dress, just like my wedding dress, is made of satin. Let me mention that our wedding lasted from 5 pm until 5 am with a lot of dancing, eating and drinking. So, when I was choosing a fabric for my dress, I wanted to be sure it was resilient enough to survive the night. Now I can say for sure that thick satin was a good choice.  

 I love my husband now as much as I did nine years ago, and so my wedding was very special to me. I think it’s one of the reasons why I enjoy looking at these gowns. It brings such wonderful memories of that day…    

Anyhow, these are my top five wedding gowns from www.TopWedding.com. If you have a wedding, evening party, or any other event where you want to look amazing, visit www.TopWedding.com , and you will definitely find what you need!
