    I love jackets very much! But I hope that the oversize-shoulder-trend won't last because they remind of the 1980s and Alexis in Dallas..!

    I so adore Blugirl and Dolce & Gabbana. There's something about tuxedos that is so appealing - especially when created for women. The slinky, yet somewhat boyish silhouette is just fabulous! :)

    diane kruger wore an outfit like this, and i actually liked it.
    i would have to be feeling quite brave to wear a bowtie out though ;)

    CC, you're tempting me too much. I'm a sucker for blazers....any and all. The oversized men's style, the cropped, the sharp-shouldered, the poufy, the average.
    Bliss. Pure bliss. AS is this post.

    Divine, darl.

    A fab Sunday read....hope you're having a fantastic weekend :)

    There's nothing quite so dignified and appealing as a tux on a woman, IMO.

    dress tuxedo's are way the best because you get the outline of the collar but the slinky outline of a dress. Lovely stuff!

    Love the tuxedo jacket! I tried on a jacket at Reiss recently that was longer in the front, with diagonal zips on the front and it was so cool, but the fabric was a bit too slippery cheap for me and I passed. Nothing ruins a great piece like cheap fabric!
