swoonsday

Happy June, everyone! With the beginning of June here, it means wedding season is upon us. This month GQ gifted us with wedding style for men, and it's modeled by this weeks swoonsday pick: Darren Criss, aka "Blaine" on Glee. :) This U of M alumnus [his biggest flaw imo. ;^)] got his start playing Harry Potter in a student created production of "A Very Potter Musical," and has had success with subsequent projects. Check out the article for shopping info, should you, or your man, need some of these pieces in your life. Otherwise, just enjoy the adorable-ness that is Darren.

walk like a man...

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but I had a nasty virus and my computer was being fixed... In that time, Mens Fashion Week happened, and this is one of my favorite collections! [that I've seen!] 

I love how conceptual John Galliano's Spring 2011 collection is, yet it's all so wearable [if you disregard the awesome Charlie Chaplin makeup!] Let's hope some of this catches on...

3rd rock from the swoon...

Please excuse that bad pun, but these pics should make up for it. Another cutie pie recently featured in GQ, is recent SNL host and star of '500 Days of Summer,' Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This spread was focusing on low-price point, but high-style menswear looks. They hit the nail on the head with these! Featuring items from GAP, Topman, H&M, and Uniqlo, and more, he looks pretty swoonworth, wouldn't you say? :)

check out NBC's website for clips from his SNL hosting gig! Adorable!

"The Soup" is one of my favorite shows on television right now, and the biggest reason for that is Joel McHale. I think he is hilarious. I'm also a fan of his new NBC show, "Community," in which he plays a lawyer who never went to college, and got caught, so he had to head back to community college for his undergrad degree, and obviously, hilarity ensues. These images are from the latest issue of GQ magazine, and Joel is displaying some of the latest fashions for mens suits...

model as muse...

One of the biggest nights in Fashion was held last night, and the attendees certainly didn't disappoint! The Annual Met Costume Institute Ball/Gala, which kicks off the summer Costume Institute Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was hosted by Anna Wintour, Justin Timberlake {!?!} and main donor of the exhibit, Marc Jacobs. The new exhibit is titled "Model as Muse" which I find interesting, not only because I'm curious to see what it all really means, but because the s.a.d.a. Annual Fashion Show theme for '08 was "Muse." There were some interesting looks, some smashing hits, and some even worse misses. I love Anne Hathaway, and though it almost doesn't look like her in the photo to the left, I think she looks stunning. Leighton Meester took one of the biggest risks, in my opinion, and I think it paid off--something no one is used to seeing her in, so different than anything Blair Waldor would wear! Newcomers to the event, Katy Perry & Emma Roberts both made fairly strong showings in their looks--not too shabby for their first Met Ball.  I thought the Olsen Twins also looked pretty good, Ashley went chic-sophisticate, while MK went for a more twisted-glam look. Chanel Iman's Zac Posen animal print gown was amazing, as was Heidi Klum's J. Mendel maternity/ball gown. I got these images from Style.com, which sadly didn't have any pics of Rhianna's gender-bending D&G suit, but I'm on the look out for more, so keep your eyes on this blog for a follow-up post! Hopefully one day, I will be attending this fabulous night of Fashion!
