Marcello Mastroianni

***
Guido Anselmi, played by Marcello Mastroianni, is surrounded by beautiful women and needy movie producers that force him to retreat to his childhood fantasies in Federico Fellini's 8 1/2. Why he would want to escape 1963 Italy I may never understand...a time and place where style oozes from the cracks in the sidewalk, being leisurly is a patriotic duty and apparently smoking in a sauna is appropriate. Just check out his sunglasses: strong shape, clean lines, great proportion. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

Alexander McQueen, Rest Peacefully

My condolences to the family and friends of Alexander McQueen. We have lost a courageous and creative mind, you've lost a loved one.

...and might I add that gobs of vintage gold jewelry would be over-the-top in the best way possible.

Maison Martin Margiela

***
It's unclear whether or not Martin Margiela is even involved with his namesake label right now. After he reportedly quit/was let go, the job was offered to others without result (who really knows!). Regardless, the brand has been criticized recently for producing a watery SS10 collection...I'm not mentioning any names *coughstyledotcomcough*. So, in the spirit of positivity and support of a long-loved line I threw together some pieces from his/their website that are clean, fresh and have pop. Minimalism is underrated, so I wouldn't add anything more to this look except a sun kissed glow and a coy smile.

Also on sale at Impulse...but requires much more disposable income than I currently have. (totokaelo.com)

This is what I would buy from Impulse while they're having their spectacular fall/winter sale...a fantastic price for an elegant big-girl coat!

I found this image one day on a traipse through cyberspace, and for the life of me can't remember where...Needless to say it had to be posted, he is far to handsome to be hidden in an anonymous file on my desktop.

It's not so much that I'm blown away by the mesh dress itself as much as I like the styling of the whole look. Maybe not something my mother could pull off, but the white bodysuit is hot under the black mesh! And a great boyfriend sweater is never a bad thing.
