LOOK OF THE DAY

THIS JUST IN: VELVET JACKETS

The velvet jacket: a luxe and impeccably stylish alternative to a regular blazer. Don't be intimidated by all of those sartorial adjectives, though--the velvet jacket is an easy way to step up your style game, with minimal effort. 

We paired it with denim to show that velvet is not just for formal occasions. Stop by the shop and check them out!  

THIS JUST IN: SHIRTS

We've got new shirts in the shop! They're part of the "Simon Carter 1985" line, which is a more casual take on our button-downs. 

You can wear them with your favourite pair of jeans, or with a suit, and your outfit will still look polished. 

Stop by the shop and have a look, and try one--or all six-- on!

THIS JUST IN: SHOES

We've got new shoes (among many other things) in the shop! These new Loakes are the perfect thing to pair with your autumn wardrobe.

Stop by the shop and try them on. We know you want to.

IT'S HERE!

We're too excited. We simply cannot wait to tell you that our Fall/Winter collection has arrived! 

If you can't wait, because you're also too excited, stop by the shop and have a look. Otherwise, check the blog in the next couple of days as we'll be posting previews of what we've got for you. 

LOOK OF THE DAY: EMMY EDITION

With our current, favourite series, Breaking Bad, coming to an end, we thought we'd honour the baddest men on television right now: Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston.

They hung up their lab gear and got dressed up for the 2013 Emmys, and we've got to say—they looked great! With one episode of the series left to air, the show's win the for "Best Drama," was a great send-off!

Who were some of your best dressed picks at this year's Emmy awards?

LONDON FASHION WEEK, VIA INSTAGRAM.

Since we're currently in Toronto, we've been trying to get our London Fashion Week fix anyway we can. While magazines offer updates and runway photos, we found that Instgram is a fun way to catch up with what's happening, as it's happening. Here are some of our favourite people to check out, and or, live vicariously through.

Paul Smith:

Naomi Campbell:

Henry Holland:

Yvan Rodic:

THE SAINT LAURENT MUSIC PROJECT, CONTD.

A few months back, we told you about a Saint Laurent ad campaign which featured some of music's famous faces, Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love.

The Saint Laurent is music project is back—this time, with some of the legends of rock and blues.

B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chuck Berry are all looking incredibly dapper, and we are just loving this campaign.

What do you think?

PICK OF THE WEEK: NYFW SHENANIGANS

With New York Fashion Week coming to a close, we thought we'd recap some of our favourites from the many designer collections that we thought were just incredible. However, we came across this hilarious video, and felt that this—more than the great clothes featured on the runway of one of the biggest fashion weeks in the world—needed your immediate attention.

We like to think that although fashion is a serious business, (Let's be honest, if no one took fashion seriously, none of us would be wearing trousers with even leg lengths, and what would we do then?) it shouldn't always be taken so seriously. Here's a great example of why we think that. 

Enjoy the video, and enjoy your weekend!

THE SARTORIALIST, A WEB SERIES

Source: Google images

This time, the cameras are on Scott Schuman.

The Sartorialist himself, is the centre of a mini web series for AOL On. The Sartorialist for AOL On follows Schuman on his never-ending search for "people whose style define who we are today." Watch as he visits Europe, chats with old friends and some of the people who make many appearances on this blog. In the second episode, he even bullfights!

While each episode is only about four minutes long, you're given a wonderful view into the Schuman's world, a world that is full of not only great fashion, but also of a wonderful and refreshing curiosity about the people he photographs, and the places that he visits.

With the new, mini series only two episodes in, it's exciting to think of where he may go, and who he may see—or photograph—next. We'll just have to tune in and find out.

LOOK OF THE DAY: SUNDAY-IN-THE-SHOP EDITION

Today's look was worn by our very own Kane, yesterday.

Gotta love a guy who isn't afraid to mix patterns and colours all at once--and that pocket square!

Bravo, sir. 

PICK OF THE WEEK: "THINGS ORGANIZED NEATLY"

One of the new fashion blog trends that we've noticed (and tried) is the outfit grid: neatly placing items within the confines of a small space so that it looks framed. We're not sure where everyone else got the idea, but our inspiration came from a blog titled, Things organized neatly.

The blog features everyday items arranged neatly, then photographed. A simple concept, but one that makes for some really interesting photos. (SEE ABOVE: colour gradient with brussel sprouts.) 

LOOK OF THE DAY

We hope that you've a had a great long weekend! Unfortunately, the long weekend's over and it's back to business as usual, so we've decided to show you a great ensemble, perfect for the office.
