Husbands

"There are three types of husbands:

1. The Blind Man, who says, 'Isn't that a new suit, darling?' when he at last notices the ensemble you have been wearing for the past two years. There really isn't any point in discussing him, so let's leave him in peace. At least he has one advantage: he lets you dress as you please.

"2. The Ideal Husband, who notices everything, is genuinely interested in your clothes, makes suggestions, understands fashion, appreciates it, enjoys discussing it, knows just what suits you best and what you need, and admires you more than all the other women in the world. If you possess this dream man, hang on to him. He is extremely rare.

"3. The Dictator, who knows far better than you what is becoming to you and decides if the current styles are good or not and which shop or dressmaker you ought to go to. This type of man's ideas on fashion are sometimes up to date, but most often he has been so impressed with the way his mother used to dress that his taste is, to say the least, about twenty years behind the times.

Whatever type of husband you have, my advice is to make the best of it and try to tame your expectations of him. Even the most devoted man is bound to be distracted at times forgetful, despite all the efforts you have made to charm him. If you are wise, then you will allow it to pass unnoticed. It is better to develop a strong sense of your own style than to rely too heavily on the opinion of another... even that of your husband. "

Men's Spring 2010 - Paris

So I'm pretty sure Men's Fashion Weeks are fantastic. Beautiful clothes & beautiful men. What could be a better combination?!! So please grab a tissue or two to wipe up the drool...

Lanvin 

Love the grey and as always, the tailoring is perfection. But I'm a bit confused about the gladiator sandals/socks situation...

Absolutely adore this color. And love the rolled up cuff on the pant

Givenchy

I love the hair, the shorts/tall socks, and the print. 

Simply classic. Look at that tailoring. The perfect suit.

Dior Homme

Another classic suit. And this man is to die for!

I love the collar-less shirt and the color combination. 

YSL

What can I say? I love me some grey.

I'm really feeling this layering. And that short sleeve trench? I kinda really love it! 

Rick Owens

Classic Owens. The layering and the sharp lines and the details!! Love this.

Fantastic leather jacket.

Louis Vuitton

You can always count on Louis for some fabulous pops of color and the cuffed shorts are so hot!!

This collection really should be seen in its entirety. The bags alone are worth the time. If only I had some major dollars - I would be splurging immediately on some men's bags for myself!! 

Again, the layering is wonderful. I love the camo-like print on the jacket and the steel blue color of the pants with the mustard shoes. Yumm. Mr. Jacobs - you are a stylish man's dream!!

See all of these collections and others from Paris as well as Milan right here!

Fine and Dandy Indeed...
