Here Gellaine is playing with patterns

The key to wearing colour on colour is to pair different shades of that one colour as Gellaine does here

Elongating her legs with a high-waisted mini, topping it off with a cropped tee

Pairing a fur collar with ripped denim dresses up this look right away

Simple denim sheath dress with a pop of colour

Risk taker she is layering textures

Pairing red with stripes is so nautical

Style Breakdown – Men Inspired!

I’m a huge fan of the menswear inspired looks on women. The safe way to pull this look off is to stick with black and white. But I say take this trend a bit further and throw in some colour in the mix. Try a patterned tie, a pastel button-up or even instead of trousers, try yours with some dress shorts. As i’m a huge fan of the leopard print, i’m immediately drawn to the heels. Leopard is forever feminine and sexy so this was a perfect way to add that feminine touch to this trend.

Style Breakdown – Make a Statement!

Talk about a statement huh! Fergie did a great job in letting this statement mini stand on it’s own. She kept the top portion to a minimum, yet using colour to help pop the look. Pairing opaque tights with minis will give you that sleek and polished look as it does here.

Style Breakdown – Mix and Match!

I absolutely adore this look! This look is both sexy and laid back. The metallic mini is perfect on it’s own so by pairing a button down with this piece actually balances and pulls the look together in a subtle way.

a.k.a. ‘Cal Mi Hansome’

 

Toronto, 24
Occupation: Personal Shopper/Stylist, currently at Bell/Virgin Mobile.
His fave Designers: Alexander McQueen.
His style: “4 words, dare to be different. When i’m not completely going for the over the top look i’m aiming for a very clean handsome look “Hansome” Not just a look but a lifestyle.”
His fashion icons: “A very clean John Legend. A very creative Andre 3000, a very handsome and well maintained Fonzworth Bentley. Call me crazy but I love the daring not caring look of Johnny Depp. I also must add someone new to my favorites, Scott Disick from the show “Keeping up with The Kardashians.”
The one item he can’t live without: “lol well because I can’t give just one item, I must say a bowtie and my blackberry lol.”
Fashion don’t: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help, don’t mindlessly follow the trends: Find a signature look that works for you, don’t follow just any trend. Don’t wear white socks with dress pants.”
Fashion do: “Do match your belt and shoes, do know how to tell the difference between sport coats, blazers, and suit jackets. Wear fitted clothes.”
Fave occasion to show off his style ie. the office, street/day, nightlife: “Well! it’s known I love getting dressed up and being out in the private upscale industry scene. I love being apart of Toronto’s Dancehall scene (not a reggae club) because of the ability to express creative fashion.

His style in one word: “Hansome” reason being it’s more than just my style, it’s my inspiration. It’s how I move, it’s what i’m moved by. Cal Mi Hansome.”
Why his style is unique: “I guess what separates me from the rest is knowing my limits but not being afraid to test my limitations, and going beyond fashion limits. Essentially that’s what fashion’s about, not fitting in, but being able to stand out.”
Upcoming projects: “My 25th birthday celebration. A night of flash & Fashion, private event. May 14th @ Dazzling Lounge. I Oriette, but you can ” Cal Mi Hansome” presents ” Finally Famous” Also i’m currently working on the launch of geturfashon.tumblr.com Stay tuned!”
