3 Types of Men in The World...Pick Your Poison:

1. Kanye West: "Designer Whore"

Seriously!!! Shoot me now. Kanye is the King of hip-hop trendsetting. Say bye-bye to your baggy jeans, your gold chains, and your over-sized t-shirts! Things are changin' round here. 

Mr. West wore a Celine long-sleeve shirt from the French luxury brand’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. They DON'T even offer a menswear line, so I'm not sure if this was a custom-made piece just for him or if it’s straight from the collection. Yes, that would mean it's a women's shirt!!! Do you really think he cares what we think?

Yes, finally!! Friendship bracelets for men! Which one do you think Jay-Z got him? I kid, I kid. These are by Burkman Bros and they're fab. I love that men can accessorize as much as we can now! I want some of my own.

 Buy yours here:

• Burkman Bros: $30 for a mixed lot of 3 bracelets
• Singer22: $10 for individual bracelets

Only Kanye puts his foot on a Goyard bag! This print puts LV to shame.

 It's no secret - I love menswear. With Kanye, I feel I can literally wear anything he has on (in a smaller size and with heels, of course). I love his bold, on-purpose approach to fashion. Thankfully, he knows just what he's doing!

Dress like Kanye this Fall: 1. Man Purse 2. Get yourself a pair Air-Yeezys (Kanye's sneaker line) 3. Throw your Jesus piece into the flame - bring out the long slinky gold chains (about 12 will do) 4. Wear t-shirts under your suit jacket 5. JEANS!! - Kanye has the best jeans! Yum. Make sure they're straight leg/ slim fit (skateboard style) 6. Bracelets by Burkman Bros 7.Colorful BOLD scarf - Kanye is not afraid to stand out 8. Jean on Jean - anyone who follows Kanye knows how much he loves his jean jacket (man approved)! 9. Back-pack 10. Don't forget to accessorize w/ a hot bald girl by your side....hmm, who? what?

2. Johnny Depp: "Grunge Master"

 

Necklaces, bracelets and rings...OH MY!

Why hello there, Mr. Depp! My name is Gilda and I am not worthy.

"I only pray that you too shall wear your belt to da side"...



 Who gets away with all this coolness all the time? Depp, that's who. I read somewhere that Johnny's style was neither rock star, nor actor, nor celebrity. I believe it. His style is all his own and that's what inspires me most about him. He makes me want to wear fingerless gloves, ripped boyfriend jeans and vintage T's!!!

"This way I see everyone the way they should be seen,....in blue."

You know, ...my mom has worn silk scarves around her neck for years...Should have - could have - would have!!!

Dress like Johnnie this Fall:  1. Aged Vintage jeans in a boot-cut or loose fit 2. Loose flannel shirt (wrap around waste or layer it) 3. A few mis-matched rings (some gold, some silver) 4. Black beanie 5. Vintage/distressed  wing-tip boots 6. Suit vest in pinstripe Italian wool 7. Round framed Oliver People glasses (Have some respect, will ya? Get it in blue!) 8. Don't wash your hair 9. Long Vintage three button Coat in Charcoal 10. How could you channel Mr. Depp without a handsome vintage Fedora? You can't. You just can't.

 3. Jake Gyllenhaal:"All American" 

Stop it, you're making him blush!

 Really though, all you need is a dimple to achieve this look! He's the obvious "t-shirt & jeans" guy, one of the Bros, no fuss, as simple as it gets kind-a-guy! He wears it well, doesn't he?

 His double breasted, charcoal coat is perfect for the Fall and since he's not so fussy he'll also love that he can throw this on over a suit or T-shirt and jeans! Add a scarf and bobble beanie and he'll be ready for the snow plow - hey, he's a man's-man. A man's-man plows in anything!

Full beard...Verrrry manly!

Jake understands the importance of grooming. 

"Effortless" is what his eyes are saying...Obvi.

 Jake always has a cool, "girl-next-door" chick by his side. I bet he holds her hand and asks her if she would like to spend the day shopping. I mean, really...why else would she be smiling so hard? 

Jake's Fall necessities:  1. A gazillion v-neck white T-shirts please!! 2. Simple boot-cut/straight leg blue jeans (AG or J.Crew make great ones and they're simple enough for all the Jake's out there) 3. A jean shirt 4. A few chunky crew-neck cable-knit sweaters 5. New Balance sneakers for J.Crew in grey & blue 6. A tweed sports coat 7. Quilted vest 8. A topcoat in wool herringbone 9. Red Wing for J.Crew sandblasted classic boots 10. A down-to-earth girlfriend to cozy up to when the nights get cold.... ***Awww Jake
