Guys, forget the Speed Stick, this is how you stay dry.

I was reading this month's comedy issue of GQ and there was this fantastic little photo spread featuring actor, Jay Baruchel.  And of course it featured my favorite piece of menswear (and womenswear for that matter), tailored OUTERWEAR.  I wanted to share the photos with you all.  Guys, ditch the Crombie this fall for something a bit more sophisticated.  (All photos from GQ Magazine.)

The "Other" Anna.

We all know Anna Wintour most definitely makes the world go round for fashion, but we mustn't forget the ferocity that is Anna Dello Russo, the fashion editor-at-large for Vogue Japan.  While Wintour pushes the envelope in the pages of American Vogue, Dello Russo is the queen of pushing the envelope with her own personal style.  With every pic that is taken of her, whether it taken by Scott Schuman for The Sartorialist, or Tommy Ton for JakandJil, and countless other street fashion photographers, I am screaming "Yes, Anna, YES!"

Not your mom's Glamour Shots!

If anyone has been watching Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List" you were probably blown away like I was by her Betty Paige photographs by famed fashion photographer, Mike Ruiz. Kathy has been using Mike Ruiz for her promotional campaigns as well as for the cover of her book. Upon visiting his online portfolio, I was overjoyed to see his photographs for Lance Bass, Brooke Shields, and even Miss Piggy. I was most impressed by Morgan Fairchild, making her appear as a 20s something rock star. Mike's ability to take a well known star and completely make them look like someone else is so beautiful and astonishing at the same time. Mike, please take my photo!

J'adore Dior!

Continuing with my new love affair with Resort 2011, John Galliano brought forth a fantastic swinging sixties ode to French fashion.  Some of my favorite pieces included the lace dresses, and striped trench-dress paired with a motorbike helmet (and I do hope Dior sells the   Motorbike helmet).  It was tres feminine, and tres chic; everything that Dior is adored for.

Rosy cheeks and red hot lips from Miu Miu!

Resort 2011 has me so stoked, I almost forget that we still have Fall 2010 upon us.  Let's just fast-forward to what the girls will be wearing on their trips to Saint Tropez or Miami next year.  Miuccia got extra cheeky with this collection, reminding us that Miu Miu may be Prada's little sister, but very much has her own personality.  The printed wide-leg pants literally took my breath away when I first laid eyes on them.  Of course I love anything that heralds to the era of Studio 54.  We have been riding on the 80s trend for a while, and while I have been enjoying it, I am eagerly awaiting the return of these 70s/90s looks.

Sarah keeps McQueen alive!

Sarah Burton, the late Alexander McQueen's successor, has proved that she can most definitely keep Lee McQueen's legacy alive.  For Resort 2011, quickly becoming my new favorite season, she made McQueen very  wearable while still maintaining his dark and ethereal formula.  Here are some of my favorite looks from this jet-setting McQueen collection.
