Studded collars. How many posts do I need to make of this before I actually add studs to my collars? Apparently I am procrastinating.

This makes me want to go to Hong Kong so badly! And wear that exact same dress in that exact scene.

At the time of this photo, this little lady was 16 years old. If my future daughter grows up dressing this well (with the short hair and all), I would be a proud mother.

There are three things that are pretty sweet about this photo: one, they’re all casually well-dressed. The shoes is what cleaned them up; two, they’re all wearing the same earthy tones; three, asian chick is wearing a sweet shirt, and it’s nice to see that she’s the only lady there. Woman power? Haha. I won’t get into that. The guys look fun to work with too.

Banana Republic Mad Men ‘12
Oh dear god, yes. I can’t tell if I’m more attracted to the fitted blazer or that man. I’m just going to say that man to seem less weird. But seriously, no matter how “skinny” or “fat” you are, fitted clothing will make you look your best.

I love it when couples have similar styles. Also, I’ve been having a huge urge to cut my hair like that girl.

I love it when I see well-dressed people on bikes, especially the older generation. This gentlemen looks incredible. Every single detail of his attire is perfect. His shoes, fitted gloves and coat, the blue scarf, the well-trimmed beard, and his hat. I could go on, really. My favorite detail is his coat and scarf, and also how his white beard stands out against his scarf. I love this photo too much.
