So, it's no surprise, my husband and I like clothes. Okay, so I might like them a bit more than he does, but still. When I met my husband, he was schlepping through the halls of the Capitol in Armani, Dolce and occasionally, Tom Ford; and usually in a pinstripe with suspenders hidden underneath. He liked high end (still does), but sometimes the high end didn't fit his broad shoulders or his impossibly long legs and short torso. This is, as we see it, one of the underlying issues in men's fashion. There is only so much a tailor can do to make a pre-existing suit fit a man who does not meet the specs of a cookie-cutter sizing chart. After all, don't we all want our man to look like this? Yes, yes you do.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the search for the perfect "fit," my husband has been known to scour the internet for tailors in countries and cities he's visiting for work (London, San Francisco, Dubai), coming home with hands full of custom pieces that put most mainstream designers to shame and at costs that seriously compete. Some better than others, it has always remained somewhat of a challenge... until now. I will never forget the day he met <a href="http://rdouglas.net/">Ryan Hammonds of R. Douglas Custom Clothier</a> here in our very own Sacramento. He called me, insisting I write a post on the "impeccable" work of Ryan Hammonds. He promoted R. Douglas in a way that only a savvy, professional PR consultant can. I was convinced, but only partly (in a way, that only a professional fashion stylist can be without seeing the garments in the flesh). It didn't take long, however, for me to join the R. Douglas marketing bandwagon. And let me tell you, this boy's gonna be big. Period. Some have even compared him to the "<i>next</i><a href="http://www.kiton.it/"><i> Kiton</i></a>."<br />

Put on a pair of suspenders, if you like, or throw on a three-piece with a vest in a bold color. Sick of the tie? Try a bow tie or an ascot. <i><b>There really are no limits and there honest to god never should be when it comes to fashion</b></i><b>.</b> R. Douglas works with a team of elite tailors that will custom make each piece to fit you like a glove and in any material, pattern or cut you desire and at a very reasonable price. Did I mention he makes house calls? He does. Check out some of his work and don't forget to tell him Sis|Bro|Husband (haha) sent you. </div>

And they're definitely winning... Let's just say the clothing line, <a href="http://daughtersrevolution.com/shop/pc/home.asp">Daughters of the Revolution</a>, provides a collective army of fashion fantastic with every new battle... ahem, collection. A family-owned business, DAR's founder/owner, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Emily Cadenhead</span>, has taken fashion designing to environmentally new heights by using recyclable materials and using eco-friendly techniques. I don't know about you, but that makes it so much easier to justify a purchase or two... and we're not talking about brown gauze peasant skirts either. No, DAR is known for their boheimian-urban (albeit a bit gypsy) maxi dresses and beautiful bell-sleeved blouses, but Cadenhead has been known to surprise with an occasional pant in sequins, too.<br />

Give DAR a try, if you haven't already. They haven't quite made it to Sacramento yet, but you can find them online or at the stores listed here on <a href="http://daughtersrevolution.com/shop/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=13">DAR</a>. Let's get them carried here, too, shall we? I'll help lead the revolution ;)<br />

Embellish your look with sequin pears or colorful fruit charms. In order to work this trend you need to convey a combination of <i>Chiquita Banana and "fashionista haute off the runway."</i><br />

We all remember the photos. JFK Jr. dragging his kayak to shore, playing frisbee with his buddies in the park, tossing the ball to his pup - it seemed like every week there was a new pic of the impossibly handsome crowned prince of the US wearing those classic blue swim trunks with the draw string waist and little else. If we're being honest, the man could have been wearing MC Hammer pants and we still would have been fixated. Some people just have "it". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all wore the damn things. Made from that parachute material in primary colors and troublesome patterns, usually with pockets that filled with water when you got out of the pool. The waist bands would bunch together forgiving absolutely nothing - pushing those few extra pounds up as though being displayed on a shelf. Truth is, the swim trunks of years past were awful. JFK jr. , and pretty much ONLY JFK jr. could pull these things off. </div>

Eventually the surf culture of the 60's and 70's came back around and saved us in the mid 90's and early 2000's making board shorts the one and only acceptable swimwear choice for men for the last two decades. Even JFK Jr. made the switch. See the pic above. For some reason, however, when designers today try to emulate the post camelot prep look that Jr. embodied - they still insist on bringing back those fug drawstring shorts. So, whether I like it or not - here they come. Everybody's doing it... Check out what's coming to stores near you in the next couple weeks. What do you think? Will you be kicking it old school or sticking to your boardies this summer? I say if you must jump on the band waggon keep them short and fitted and always opt for solid or simple. I'm sure most of our dad's will be thrilled to know their swimwear is back in style again!</div>

I heard about this guy while at an event in South Beach last week. A friend of mine had seen some sneakers he did for the Miami Heat's Chris Bosh in <a href="http://www.oceandrive.com/style">Ocean Drive</a> Magazine and was Jonezing to have him create something for his leather bike bag. The Miami based artist and designer hand paints leather goods like shoes, purses, wallets and belts, creating one of a kind pieces for his clients that stand out. I checked out his <a href="http://www.loganreal.com/couture.html">website</a> and found some more images online. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The emerging artist is finally gaining recognition on a national scale having recently signed with Lacoste to design some custom sneakers for the brand. I like to call what he does Re- Fresh- Ing. Think about it, he's taking beautiful items, some already worth thousands of dollars in their own right, and making them priceless. His style is refined yet playful, graphic and fresh. I would love to get a watch band done by this guy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All I'm saying Sactown is that this guy is primarily out of Miami right now which means if you contact him and get some of your gear hooked up - you'll be no doubt the only kid on the block with a Logan Real Custom piece. Something tells me that whatever you buy today will be worth a LOT more in the years to come. Get in contact <a href="http://www.loganreal.com/couture.html">HERE</a>. </div>

Okay, so shorts aren't for everyone, but if you've got the legs, you should be working them. Nothing shows off a sweet pair of gams like a high-waisted short. Try it in this season's bold colors like red, orange or turquoise (hello 80s!). Denim works, but so does a flattering twill or tweed or stretched cotton or even silk.</div>

I love this look for Spring with some booties and layered with a cashmere cardi or a cropped jacket. This Summer, tuck in tight with a sleeveless wrapped blouse and some gladiators. This look is so chic. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>MARC HUNDLEY MAKES ART SMART ROCK T-SHIRTS</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That guy up above is a pretty savvy and cool artist that has had me confused and interested for a while. Originally from Canada Marc has lived and designed from New York for years now, gaining notice and recognition with exhibitions in places like my beloved <a href="http://www.bellwethergallery.com/artistsindex_01.cfm?fid=485&gal=0">Bellwether gallery</a> (where I first saw his work). Marc is known for taking found objects and images, mixing them with words and phrases from obscure music references and forming an all together new and current message. I say that his work confuses me because with art like his, it can sometimes be hard to differentiate between someone just screen printing a random lyric on a pillow, and an artist truly creating something special. I'll leave that determination up to you. If nothing else, I seem to usually be attracted to the messages he selects and on a pure esthetic level like the way his composition looks.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other day I picked up the latest Lil Wayne Album and was pulled in by the t-shirt he is wearing on the cover. His white t says "If the people stare then let the people stare". I knew immediately that it had to be by Marc. Sure enough, it was. Turns out that Marc has collaborated with Opening Ceremony to make a series of screen print Hanes T-shirts featuring lyrics from bands like the Smiths and Morissey. They are simple, positive and cool. I like the idea of representing the words on a rock t-shirt rather than the rocker. The meat is in the message after all. Check out his looks below and get more info <a href="http://www.openingceremony.us/entry.asp?pid=430">HERE.</a></div>

The vest is like an instant style piece. It can add depth to a long tunic blouse or a maxi dress or even a vintage t shirt. Vests can define your look, taking you from tailored and conservative to bohemian/rocker/sophisticated fashion plate. Try one cropped and in denim to fulfill this season's obsession with the 80s or play on the menswear trend and wear it long and double breasted. I also like the motorcycle vest in leather and buckles, but am equally intrigued by a draped vest made of chiffon and lace.<br />

We saw plenty of the fur vest this past Winter, bountiful and cozy. This Spring, change things up with a lighter, more ethereal fabric. Something that breathes and serves less of a practical purpose and more of a fashion purpose. After all, the vest was never really intended to keep you all that warm. ;) The vest is something you can interchange, too. Wear it with various looks, making each ensemble seem as though it's brand new. <i>Mr. Vest</i> is so versatile, you'll want to wear him everyday. I promise.</div>

With all the hooplah surrounding Wills and Kate, another royal wedding just concluded a week of celebration in India marking the largest gathering of Maharajas since India's Independence (1947). I am a sucker for an Indian wedding - intricate Saris, colorful turbans, beautiful Hena markings - all in a week long competition to honor the bride and groom. Take that fantastic formula and add in the fact that this wedding is that of the handsome Prince Shivraj Singh of Jodhpur and the absolutely exquisite Princess Gayatri Kumari. These two are the heirs to an 800 year old kingdom and their guests some of the most distinguished and well off people in the world. The potential for amazing fashion was HUGE and let's just say that the pictures prove that this was as epic as anyone could ever imagine. I had to share - so check out how they do it on the other side of the world below. Beautiful!</div>

Creator and owner of <a href="http://www.kkpwdesigns.com/">KKPW</a> (Knick Knack Patty Wack) Jewelry Designs, Shannon and I met at <a href="http://www.lwinelounge.com/">L Urban Wine Lounge and Kitchen</a> for a glass of wine and an introduction. The conversation was fluid and easy and drifted rather organically into a conversation of congruent missions both from a fashion perspective and from a business perspective. Sacramento, by all intensive purposes, is still a small town. That being said, there are many people here who desire to build upon the fashion core that already exists within the confines of our small town. Many of these people remain hidden, successful in many ways and certainly visible even in other cities and to a select few within our own. For whatever reason, however, many have yet to be <i>"discovered"</i> or given the proper acknowledgement for their unbelievably beautiful work.<br />

Shannon Culmo sells her jewelry in many stores here in Sacramento like <a href="http://www.serendipityboutique.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Serendipity</span></a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000018321784">Madam Butterfly</a>, and <a href="http://www.myparksidepharmacy.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Parkside Pharmacy</span></a>, to name a few, and is known for her whimsical collection of natural baubles. Beautiful metals hammered to perfection, semi-precious and precious stones linked with copper and wire all finished with soft details that Shannon finishes with her very own fingertips. This line is homespun. Literally. And it is gorgeous. She sat at our meeting flanked in bangles, some in silver, others in gold. She must have been wearing ten of them. I liked her necklaces, too. Dainty and feminine, but strong and certainly full of meaning, her jewelry is the perfect blend of haute hippie and sophisticated, urban goddess.<br />

Shannon said to me, "I like jewelry that doesn't necessarily belong together. That's what makes jewelry interesting. Jewelry is an expression of one's self. It is a way to tell a story about who you are and how you feel."<i> C'est tres vrai, Mademoiselle.</i><br />

Mixing a fine gold lariat with a chunky tourmaline and sapphire beaded choker, for example, or perhaps one of Shannon's beloved leather cuffs (people have been known to buy them literally off of her wrist) accompanied with her thinly hammered silver bangles, could surely<i> fill this bill</i>.<br />

Don't take my word for it, however. Check her stuff out for yourself. You've probably seen it already in passing through the many shops here in town, but now you'll know a bit more of Shannon's story and get that personal touch that we all long for when we buy local. Shannon is drawing a big picture for herself and one that just might need a bigger canvas.<br />

So, Mama Diane has been the queen of versatile chic women's fashion since the dawning of her game changing - every woman staple, the wrap dress. That little green number above made a few subconscious statements when it came into the game. First, it said that comfort did not need to be at the expense of style and second, that every day staples not only can, but should be in color. </div>

This Spring marks the second go around for miss Von Furstenberg in the home design world (the first was in the late 70's for Sears!). DVF promises that her line will have the same concentration of color, print, lifestyle and living well for which her fashions have become known. While DVF is known for being pretty feminine - I even see a few things that might fit in my man cave. Below are a few standouts.

I love wedges for many reasons, but probably my biggest and most important is that they are comfortable... most of the time. When you walk on a 4" heel most days, the discrepancy in height from toe to heel can be atrociously cumbersome. That's why the wedge is so well liked... it meets you halfway. Completing that unusual gap between the front and back of your foot with a nice little platform. Thank you, Mr. Wedge, for that added lift.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my faves this season. Let's take a walk in a few of these, no?<br />

A reader emailed me last week and requested a few suggestions for great affordable options in sunglasses. Not gonna lie, I am prone to spending a pretty penny on my sun specs - but I do have three trusty pairs that I keep in my arsenal that fit this bill and have been very very good to me. As I am a man of the people I thought I'd share my selections with the rest of you in case you're in the same need. There are so many options out there, but these are three you'll see me wearing around sactown this summer. </div>

The ever brazen and bold knitwear design label <a href="http://www.siblinglondon.com/shop/">Sibling</a> (I know I know, brazen and knitwear in the same sentence is a bit ridiculous) are taking us on one big drunken pub crawl through East London for their Autumn Winter collection appropriately called "Darn the Boozer". Found in their line are looks inspired by iconic pubs The Golden Heart, The Bricklayers Arms, The Red Lion and George and Dragon. Why are English bar names always way cooler than american bars? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, you can see the blatant references in pub insignias and other depictions of the dragons and lions and also in a bit more subtle ways with knight-like shoulder pads over chain mail resembling sweaters and cigarette crossbones. By subtle I mean not at all. It's basically a drunken haze, the result of which is a kitchy and cool line that I would definitely wear. Honestly, I would rock practically everything in this line. Check out the look book below and when you're ready to have a little fun and shop hit up their site <a href="http://www.siblinglondon.com/shop/">HERE</a>. </div>

I'm obsessed. It's official. I am besotted with this Spring's jumpsuit. Sleeved, capped or long, it really doesn't matter as long as I can pull the ensemble up in one fell swoop and call it a day. Something somewhat reminiscent of the 1980s or maybe it was the '70s? Whatever genre it more appropriately suits, this trend is one I feel is worthy a song of praise. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
While thumbing through the order books at <a href="http://www.nordstrom.com/">Nordstrom</a> ARDEN FAIR, I came across an item I absolutely had to have. Black, palazzo'd with a high neck, low back and a tie (!), it was a breath of fresh air. Sick of the usual maxi dress or cocktail ensemble laden with leather, I was in love. Sure, I ordered it for a client, but I secretly hoped it wouldn't work out. I wanted it. <a href="http://www.celine.com/">Celine</a> makes it and it solidifies all that I know to be true about fashion. Clean and sophisticated, but playful and sexy still. This jumpsuit had me at hello.</div>

If Celine isn't quite in your budget, below are some alternatives that certainly meet my fashion standards and my accountant's budget standards. :-) Think of the jumpsuit like you would think of an elegant pant suit or a pant/blouse combination. Throw on a cropped blazer and it serves either purpose. So chic, so elegant and absolutely stunning on a woman with long, long legs. Beware those under 5'3" of this look unless of course it's a romper (shorts). You will only seem shorter in the pant version of this trend.</div>

These wool flannel zip trousers in black are so maud and funky that I'm almost completely able to forgive the snowflake sweater. I want them in my closet immediately, but unfortch I have to wait for them to be shipped from the UK (they're only available at <a href="http://danieljenkins.co.uk/winter-sale-now-on/lou-dalton-wool-flannel-zip-trouser.html">Daniel Jenkins</a>). Maybe there is something to the buzz surrounding lady Lou afterall. Decide for yourself at her <a href="http://www.loudalton.com/">website</a>. </div>

There I was, minding my own business, watching a little <a href="http://www.oprah.com/">Oprah</a> and low and behold, Ms. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Willow Smith </span>spawn-child of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Will Smith</span>, and the actress come alternative rock/hip hop singer, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Jada Pinkett Smith</span>, is co-hosting with Oprah herself. Hair braided tightly on one side, the other perfectly coiffed into a wave of pinks and purples mixed in with her natural dark brown, Willow seemed to have a certain confidence most 11-year olds ought not to have. Don't get me wrong, I like it. I like that she can just kind of do and say whatever she wants to do and say. I also like that with her tiny frame comes a huge personality and one that sort of just, well, knows it's all that and a bag of Cheetos.</div>

The point of me writing about this up and coming triple-threat star (Willow recently received the Young Artist Award for acting and has a hit song, "Whip My Hair") is to note her unusual and somewhat spectacular style. Sure, most people over the age of 11 might not be caught dead in some of these get-ups, but you're missing the point. Willow expresses herself through her fashion and quite honestly, that's something we all should do more often. Kudos to Mom and Dad who, by all intensive purposes, couldn't be any more attractive or wholesomely family-oriented, for raising a confident, talented and albeit downright divalicious little girl. Women everywhere should take some notes.</div>

Ladies, you get to have all the fun when it comes to underwear. Guys on the other hand are relegated to the now passe question "boxers or briefs"? How boring! Ladies have long known the thrill of keeping a little secret underneath their clothes for that one sweet and rewarding reveal at the end of the night. Even if you aren't going home to anyone special, sometimes is just fun to have something completely ridiculous on that only you get to know about. Enter Frank Dandy. </div>

I like FD's style because he takes a playful approach to sexy leaning more towards the laugh out loud than the scream and shout if you know what I mean. The designer will be debuting a new line this July at the SOBE fashion week event in Miami, but for those who just can't wait, here are some of his fun and sexy underwear and swim options on sale online right now. Ladies, if your man is too shy to buy these himself, surprise him - believe it or not, guys like to be sex objects too sometimes ;). </div>

No big surprise here, stripes stomped down the runways again this season only this time with a certain <i>je ne sais quois </i>unseen in stripe trends of seasons past. Thicker, further apart and with a sort of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Dick Tracy</span> vibe, stripes are making their way onto women's suiting, skirts and even the soles of our shoes. </div>

Try the stripe in a horizontal pattern as displayed on <a href="http://www.ragandbone.com/">Rag and Bone</a>'s runway via a wool kilt. Horizontal stripes are oh so flattering on a wrap skirt. Forget about the fashion tales of girth gone bad. Stripes <i>can</i> be your best friend. </div>

Shoes, jewelry, accessories aren't left out of this striped resurgence. They are making their way to the streets and displaying all sorts of color combinations. Try plum with light pink and pops of red. Tres chic. Bangles that represent the color wheel and with a sort of <a href="http://www.benetton.com/">United Colors of Benetton</a> feel.

Stripes add a certain flair to an otherwise simple look and can create any myriad of looks you might be feeling at that moment. Ready to set sail? Suit up in this season's nautical stripe. Not quite your style? Tone it down with a striped tshirt and leather leggings.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you read this blog, you are well aware that I almost exclusively wear Levi's 511 jeans. In the past few weeks however I have been convinced by a couple of local retailers to try some new options. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised with both options. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first is a pair of skinny (and I mean SKINNY) dark denim stretchy jeans called the Jack Jean by a company called <a href="http://thecomune.com/our-collections/spring-two-thousand-and-eleven/">Comune</a>. I found them at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Good-Stock-Boutique/115053465228192">Good Stock</a> next door to Nordstrom rack and have worn them with boots and a black blazer for a night on the town as well as with slip ons and a t-shirt around town on my bike. They are very versatile and comfy for skinny jeans and at a price point that is down right unbelievable. </div>

My second venture away from my norm was with a pair of jeans by the premium denim company <a href="http://www.prvcypremium.com/">PRVCY</a>. I picked these up on 20th and K at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Denim-Spot-Clothing-Boutique/109804942570">Denim Spot</a>, again for a really reasonable price. They are perfect kick around jeans, fitted but comfy and particularly good at accentuating the bootay. </div>

So there you have it. Sometimes its good to break away from your habits of comfort and trust a local retailer. I'm definitely happy I did. </div>
