BURBERRY
With her stunning green eyes, trademark full brows, and eclectic style, up-and-coming model Cara Delevingne is quickly becoming the one to watch. The younger sister of established model Poppy, Delevingne knows a thing or two about the fashion world.
In just three short years since being signed to Storm Models, she has appeared in numerous magazine editorials, walked the runway for brands such as Chanel, Stella McCartney, and Oscar de la Renta, and even landed the Burberry Prorsum campaign in 2011.
The hot DILF’s (yes, that's Dad I'd Like To...well, ya know) of new film What to Expect When You’re Expecting have sparked us to think about what it takes to be a sartorially savvy dad in these modern times. Every guy has the opportunity to own great style and just because you don't remember what sleep is doesn't mean you should scrimp on your fashion choice. Really, it's the perfect opportunity to expand your newfound attractiveness that is a cute dad with his cute kid. Although the baseball cap and basic tee might have worked a few years ago, 2012 calls for a much more fashion-forward effort. To make sure you’re the hottest DILF on the block, check out our handy summer shopping guide below.
We, like many of you sartorially concerned males, were caught off guard by last week’s summer-esque weather, so we’ve put together this helpful list to aid you with the upcoming warmer temperatures.
1: Colorful Bottoms: Black jeans may be your go to during the frigid months but Spring 2012 is all about the colorful bottom. From Phillip Lim to Zegna, colorful pants were a part of every runway show. From Phillip Lim’s dip-dyed canvas pants to Gap’s red skinny jeans, the trend takes on many variations meaning anyone can rock this spring look. For those on the timid side, you may want to warm up to this trend by experimenting with a green or beige color. Those of you who aren’t afraid to dive right into this trend should definitely go with a red pant, which can be found almost anywhere.
If you love designer bags, shoes, and accessories, a new boutique has come to Chelsea called DF Discount. As covered in Time Out NY, the boutique offers in-season designer goods from Prada, Fendi, Tod's, Burberry, Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, and more. Savings average about 20% off what you would normally pay. We were a little confused as to how this was possible --we always assumed we had to pay full retail for our designer goods! According to the owner, all items are 100% authentic and the key to their business is that they import their goods "duty-free" from overseas in small quantities, passing the savings on to their customers (which apparently includes celebs in-the-know). As described on their site: "We travel throughout Europe to bring you current authentic merchandise from top highend designers. We keep our over head low so we can offer you the lowest price possible. Visit us often as new styles are always arriving."
Stella's Fabulous Fashion Fete
Quickly dubbed as the “hard to beat event of the season,” Stella McCartney’s ‘fashion spectacular’ and first London presentation in sixteen years was a true highlight of the London Fashion Week Fall 2012 season. Opting out of her usual Paris Fashion Week appearance, McCartney brought her evening wear collection ‘home’ in a celebration of nationalism that coincides with her role designing for the Great Britain Olympic team in this summer’s also London-based games. The black tie, formal dinner affair hosted an eclectic group of guests including Rihanna, Kate Moss, Kanye West, Zaha Hadid, Peter Blake, Twiggy, and Bianca Jagger. Dressed in the collection, models joined guests at each table as Ronnie Scott’s orchestra played jazz standards followed by a performance by Dutch magician Hans Klok and special assistant Alexa Chung. Even after all of this action—the party was just getting started. The multi-talented models (some professional dancers in disguise) then took markedly more conspicuous positions atop each table for a flash mob-esque performance to a Led Zeppelin soundtrack. Marble-printed silk and feminine lace appeared in bold cobalt blue and rich orange alongside stark black and white. Silhouettes ranged from full-length gowns to bubbly cocktail frocks and featured McCartney’s signature tailored suiting and color-blocked hourglass silhouettes. "I wanted to do something special to celebrate being back in London," said McCartney. "I love magic, and that was pretty magic."

What is "fashion" here in New York City? Fashion is fueled by the celebrities, socialites, boutiques, runways, events, artists, architecture, street-style and influenced by the top stylists of the world.

2011 has been an incredible year, sartorially speaking. From Anne Hathaway's eight costume changes at the Academy Awards to Diane Kruger...well, whenever the woman puts on clothes, a few of the ladies that didn't make the cut were this close. Ultimately, we decided that the criteria to make Joonbug's "Top Looks of 2011" list lay within three very simple (and very visible) requirements: originality, memorability and game-change factor. Once we began to whittle down our large list, we found that very few looks - no matter how much we loved them - fit these requirements.
Every week we will feature one item that deserves the spotlight.
This week's item is: The Card Holder.
The card holder is a major upgrade from your bulky wallet that's giving you back pains. The card holder will force you to carry things that are pertinent to everyday living, e.g. debit card, metro card, ID. Every company is designing one, so make sure you find one that best suits you.
- Rugby Ralph Lauren at just $35 this card holder keeps the money in your pocket in more ways than one.
- Jack Spade makes an array of fun, funky or classic card holders. Most under $100
- Other brands to look for that have plenty of options are Makr All Goods, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Louis Vuitton.
The economic climate in recent years has broken down the spendthrift. These days even spendthrifts do less spending, and more thrifting. However, sometimes you just can't find what you need at the price you want. And that's ok, because some pieces are meant to be investments. Investment pieces are signature items of any wardrobe - rightfully termed and categorized as such for the practicality, durability, and timelessness of their nature. You can't put a price tag on quality like that, but when there is it's usually pretty high. Here are some big ticket investment pieces that we think actually are well worth the purchase.
