Chanel Cruise 2014 – Singapore (Men)

So a few days ago Chanel previewed the 2014 cruise collection I spoke about the women’s clothes in the collection. The post can be read here (Chanel- Women Cruise 2014). Looking at the men’s collection, all I wish for is for Chanel to start selling men’s clothes. I believe the Chanel jacket looks impeccable on men.

Graduation!

I just graduated from American University on the 12th. The feeling was great but I was so scared at the same time. Because the next few years is the time I need to prove myself. I hope everything works out like I want and I can pursue my plans for the future. But for now lets talk about what I wore to the events. There was the graduation outfit and the dinner party outfit.

For the graduation ceremony I wore a black and white double breasted jacket with white pants and shirt and velvet blue Del Toro shoes.

For the dinner party I wore a gray-ish blue double breasted jacket and pants with black laced shoes.

 

Shopping

Yesterday I was out shopping for a graduation suit and at the end I couldn’t settle for one because there are so many options. I saw a full suit at Hugo Boss. Its a normal black suit but its a great slim fit. On the other hand I saw these two jackets at Emporio Armani that I loved. But the downside is that I will have to go looking for matching pants.

Shopping for Graduation

A few may know that I will be graduating in 8 weeks. So I am freaking out about what I am going to do with my life, where I am going to end up, and what future steps I should be taking to work towards achieving my goals and dreams. But somedays I try to forget all about these worries and I try to figure out what shopping I need to get done for the events that are taking place then. My parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents are flying in for my graduation. I feel so blessed that they are all coming that’s why I am already excited about it.  When thinking about  the graduation ceremony the first thing that comes to mind  is what would I wear on that day.

A few days ago I went suit window shopping, and my jaw dropped when I saw this suit at Suit Supply. I love the idea that it is a day suit and double breasted. If I would wear it, I would style it differently. I was thinking of wearing it with a knit straight end tie and monks. Tell me what you think about it!

Fall 2013 – Hermès

I love the bright colors used in this collection, it adds diversity to ones closet in the winter. I also loved the crocodile leather jacket. Here are my favorite pieces from the collection:

Fall 2013 – Dior Homme

I loved the belts that were included in the collection, it visually gives the wearer a smaller waist. Furthermore, during the collection many shirts and suits and a geometrical design in it (the circle with the triangle in the middle), I may not be the biggest fan of this print or shape, but I enjoyed the collection as a whole. Take a look at my favorite pieces from the collection:

Fall 2013 – Dolce & Gabbana

I am sorry I couldn’t post anything yesterday. I was on a flight from Jordan back to DC to finish my last semester at university (Scary and exciting at the same time). Many fashion shows for men took place in the last two days, so there will be a lot to cover. Dolce & Gabbana held their fashion show yesterday and all I could imagine watching the show was Italian men from the early 1900’s had run away from a monastery and have somehow ended up in 2013. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED the show, but this thought was running through my head the whole time. Take a look at my favorite tools from the fashion show and tell me what you think!
