Viviana, pajama party

But no worries as the Vogue Nippon stylist never sleeps on the job.

Camouflage

Camouflage is the new black. O.k., maybe not the new black, but definitely a favorite among stylish men like Josh Peskowitz (above) and Nickelson Wooster (below). Mr. Peskowitz is the Style Editor at Esquire.com and Mr. Wooster is the Men's Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus. Mr. Wooster is wearing Michael Bastian. Black or camouflage, I'm a fan of both looks.

All you need

All you need is a few basic looks in your closet that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion. Milanese stylist Alessia Fagioli Galeone's look is exemplary of this fashion principle. Here she takes a favorite basic look of mine, the denim button down and olive trousers, and adapts the look based on the requirements of the day.

When I met her at the Albino Deuxiem show, she had just stepped in from the rain in a super -envious windbreaker and eye catching earrings. One, you might remember that I love to observe how the fashionable brave the rain- it's because their weather friendly approaches always bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. With that said, you can totally understand my appreciation for that windbreaker. And two, how ridiculously cool are those earrings?? They are by an emerging talent whose name I will provide really soon.

Later that day, when showers had calmed, I spotted her again in the same basic look but dressed up with this lovely sequins jacket, and which because of its embellishment, she accessorized with a more sober pair of earrings.

Thanks Alessia for showing us how a basic look can take you a long way.

Style...rain or shine

The weather has been horrible these first two days of the Milan men's Spring 2011 collections. But the bad weather hasn't dampened T Magazine's Bruce Pask's stylish step. He shines on in khaki, white and grey outside the Bottega Veneta show.

Julia in the evening

The always chic Julia Sarr-Jamois outside the Dolce & Gabbana 20th Anniversary Celebration for their menswear collection. To commemorate their 20 years of designing gorgeous menswear, the much adored Italian fashion designers have staged an art exhibition at the historic Palazzo Marino which serves as Milan's City Hall. Last night was the big festa. For more on the festivities stop by a dear friend of mine's blog, Opera Chic.

Flair

The Milan's menswear Spring 2011 collections kicked off yesterday and the gentlemen have arrived in style. How much do I love the elements of this gentleman's look? Did you know that I live for a beautiful double breast, navy-inspired jacket? And leopard with studds! I'm laying under my desk now from excitement. But do you see the french collar on his button down? And last but not least, the pouch, every fashionable person must have a touch of metallic to make an outfit pop. ooooh! I heart a gentleman with flair!
