I’ll probably never be able to pull off leather pants, but waxed denim just may be the perfect way for me to achieve the rocker chic look.  It’s certainly not a new concept, but I’m loving this season’s edgy silhouette.

Yeah.  I’m kinda, sorta, totally needing these. 

PS.  I think I found my skinny cords here.

When I first saw this image of Molly Sims’ home a few months back, it sent me scrambling to find out more about that heart-stirring piece of art. 

Admit it, you were lost in the lyrics too, weren’t you?  Well, it wasn’t long until I was directed to Matthew Heller.  And he didn’t disappoint.  I was thrilled to see he had an entire section of works titled “Homage To Music”. 

Pure GOODNESS I tell you.  GOOD-ness.

There’s more here.  Go see!!
If you’re unlike me and were actually blessed with an artistic bone, check out Kay’s DIY version.

By request, I’m adding an installment here on the blog just for the fellas, or the ladies in their lives.  To make it easy on you guys, I will tag all of these posts as “Finery For Fellas”.  So when you need a fashion fix, or more like an idea of what to wear this weekend, just look in the labels section.  Simple enough? 

First and foremost, be willing to embrace “new”.  Items you’ve had for years usually look, well, like you’ve had them for years.   Styles change.  Fits change.  Your waist line may have changed… just saying!

Today’s tip is one of the easiest ways to impress.  Dress up a notch higher than the occasion requires.
Throw on a blazer before you walk out the door.  
Need a visual? 

Okay, that was really for the ladies…  But for fun, here are some more options.
 
Oh, and if you’re wearing jeans, think dark denim!

So I want to know, would you rock socks with heels?  I would will.

I love an unexpected twist!  And this is a great way to get more mileage out of some of the shoes you may have looked past otherwise this season.  I think I will ease into this trend with a thin pair in the same color family as the shoe I’m pairing them with. 

Try it for yourself with these sources:

When I began designing our home I knew I wanted grey, grey, and more grey.  Sound dreary?  It’s not at all.  In fact, most of our home is inviting and light.  What gives our home the drama and dimension it needed are charcoal accents and dark hardwood floors.  My favorite rooms share a common element: dark, charcoal shades contrasted against grey and white tones. 
Feeling inspired to join the dark side?  Check out these images I have gathered below.  They are nothing short of sensuous and sensational.
