Everyday Styling: A Night At The Theater!

By Jax


A night out at the theater in Manhattan used to be a very fancy event, but now it's a little more relaxed.  That doesn't mean I'm gonna look super stylish!

I am obsessed with this white blazer I bought, and I've been going out of my way to create outfits around it.  It's about time it made it to this blog :p

Thoroughly MOD-ern Milly

By Jax


My work wardrobe has a decidedly 1960s/70s slant.  So when wide leg, high-waisted pants came back into style, my mind immediately thought of the cute round-necked jackets and blazers a la Jackie O.

The blazer above is just screaming to be paired with your wide leg pants in the office.  Like skirts instead?  It will go as perfectly with a pencil.  A big white bead necklace would be the ideal pairing.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: European Blazer



This "French Girl" blazer looks a little bit more British to me, but regardless of which country it comes from, it's pretty and delicate and I am drawn to shiny gold buttons!

The piping on the pockets and the collar adds a nice, young touch to an otherwise sophisticated blazer.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: White Hot Blazer



White blazers are white hot for spring and summer 2011 (probably because of all the bright patterned clothing everyone keeps buying!)

While you may get frustrated that there is no button on the blazer, I like this aspect because it will prevent unnecessary (and potentially un-stylish) buttoning!

GUYS BUYS: Prepare For The Hamptons


Now that Spring is here, it's time to start thinking about your easy weekend jaunts (and what you'll wear when you get there). This linen-blend blazer fills an important hole in your wardrobe and says to your fellow jaunters, "I'm casually awesome and always apropos."

Price: $40 (originally $44.50)

Vintage Vixen: Nautical Now!

I am in love with the thick stripes on this little blazer. How cute that the sleeves are cut with the stripes going down the arm and the bodice has stripes across. And the buttons are great! I am a big fan. Summer is coming and that means Nautical is Now in my books.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Helmut Lang


The minimalist classics of Helmut Lang never grow old.  In college, I spend $75.00 on a white t-shirt that fit me better than any t-shirt I've ever tried on, and looked good years later after way too many washings (it met it's untimely demise when a red dress accidentally found its way into the wash, and I'm still sad about it.)

To find another superior classic from Helmut Lang on a super sale brought back all these wonderful memories of my favorite white t-shirt!  Maybe I can start new memories with my favorite black blazer???

Unless you plan to grow taller, or wider (and you control that one!), you should not be worried about plunking down a lot of money for a good blazer.

I have a particular love for this blazer.  It's a beautiful navy and I like the rustic looking buttons!  I know not all guys like side vents (which is maybe why it's on sale?), but if you don't have any issues with them, check this blazer out!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Chloe



This is less of a "Designer Alert" and more of a "In My Dreams" posting, as I don't think I could justify $1200 for a white blazer, even if it is half-off.  But maybe a Jax of the future would be able to?  It's nice to dream...

For what it's worth, this is the nicest white blazer I've ever seen.  I like it just as much now as when I saw it go down the runway.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Guys Buys















It's been a while since I posted a good deal on a blazer! As most gents know, Holiday season is often equated with blazer season, so you should jump at the good blazer deals when you can. It's hard to go wrong with a super 100's navy wool blazer...it's always in style!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - St. John




















For those of you unfamiliar with St. John, they specialize in classic pieces (generally suits, but also dresses and blazers) that are fashion forward for any decade. St. John's stuff from the 60's, 70's and 80's is just as relevant as any clothing you'd find on a rack today.

So when you see the ridiculous price tag for this blazer, acknowledge first that: 1) this is "cheap" for St. John's, and 2) this is something that you can wear for the rest of your life (providing you don't gain weight!)

I love the magenta/houndstooth combo. Although the model is wearing it with black pants, It would look equally good with a black skirt or dress, or even dark blue jeans.

Yep, this is a spring/summer sports coat. You're thinking "Jax, I don't want to buy a summer blazer in the fall!" I know, you're not in the mood. But this is too good a deal to pass up! The best deals on men's sports coats are IN THE OFF SEASON!!! think about it, when can you get a jacket at J. Crew for $150??? IT'S UNHEARD OF! Get your head in the game, and buy amazing, heavily discounted clothes for the spring and summer in the fall!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: My New Perfect Blazer












Urban Outfitters aptly named this blazer the "perfect blazer." I'm inclined to agree! Every outfit I put it with becomes more perfect.

It's always tricky when the weather is changing...do I put on a coat? Or do I just weave a jacket into the outfit that works in an ensemble and an outwear sense? This blazer kept me warm on a chilly night, but kept my outfit nice and hot.

Blaze(r) Into Fall














If you see a good blazer that's on sale that you like, BUY IT. Blazers will be everywhere this season, and you should have a good amount to mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe. Don't be afraid to experiment with new shapes of blazers, or colorful blazers, or blazers that have interesting and unusual details!

This one caught my eye because of the slightly puffed sleeve...that little puff is just what your outfit needs to be absolutely spectacular. I also like that it doesn't close. No zippers, no buttons. Let's you show off whatever you're wearing underneath!

Bring On The Blazers


For some lucky fashionistas whose coloring works with this particular brown, go ahead and jump for joy: It's a BCBG Blazer for under $150!

Blazers - for a variety of reasons - are generally a time where you should spend the money. I like this one for it's interesting cut. Appropriate and stylish enough for the office and anything you choose to do after. I will say that I do NOT like the pairing with jeans. This should go with a skirt or shorts.
