boyfriend: mr. burgundy


Never in a million years would I have dreamed of lumping a fictional, (local) Emmy-awarded anchorman into the same category of such swanksters like Andrew Garfield and Zac Efron. In fact, I'm sure I'm committing some kind of fashion cardinal sin even comparing the two! But sometimes, ya gotta do what you gotta do.

  If there's one thing I've learned in my experience with guys (cue laughs!) it's that if you want them to listen, you need to give them something they want to listen to. So, alas I have shamefully resorted to Mr. Ron Burgundy in a plea that guys to show their support for the autumn 2012 champion color.

Burgundy in menswear was all over the runways for fall/winter 2012 collections in February. From Tommy Hilfiger to Ovadia & Sons, the legend of the deep hue lived on. 

Now, do I expect you gentleman to dawn tailored suits to 9:30 chemistry lecture? Yeah, I do. But I know you wont. So, five burgundy items that you're down to flaunt & that're girlfriend-approved.

Stay classy, San Diego.

chromatism: cobalt blue

Everyone has their go-to color that they just know they look good in [c'mon, it's okay to brag!] As I got older & needed more formal wear for more events, I always gravitated toward 
cobalt blue.

Cobalt blue has gotten me through two homecoming courts, one prom, a wedding, & technically every single day of senior year ["Providence... Go big blue!"] Even last week when I hosted a fashion show for work, a cobalt blue pencil dress I express-shipped from ASOS saved my fashion crisis. 

SO imagine how stoked I was when I found out the electric color 
was a huge forecasted trend for this coming fall!

However:
What's $200 now in-stores is going to be $2,000 come autumn, so here
are the two cobalt blue pieces you need to own and how to wear them now & then
[before they break your bank]
