New Camera...Take 1

Well He has upgraded Fashion by He without many of you even knowing. He went out and bought a new Nikon camera, and here is the first picture He has taken with it. Anyone interested in being in front of the He-lense, just email He. Anyway back to the picture at hand, not sure where those wedges are from but they are pretty f*cking cool, wish He had gotten a better close up of them. The shoes are so cool that He is totally going to ignore the weird jacket and the panda hat/scarf thing that are all the rage right now.

Gifts for the Men...Ideas from Professionals!

2011 is already bringing big things Fashion by He's way and its still only 2010. One of the big things will be a collaboration between Fashion by He and Men's Wearhouse. As a prequel to the big things coming He thought this would be a good time to do a mini holiday gift guide for the men in the ArmHe, or for the ladies who need ideas for the men in their lives. All members of the ArmHe should feel free to send He holiday gifts.

Holiday Tips from the Experts at Men's Wearhouse:

1. Layering and luxury fabrics: Classic layering is definitely in this winter, with a laid-back and versatile feel. Keep the cold out with a dress shirt paired with a 100 percent cashmere V-neck sweater or a faux-suede sport coat for a more casual winter look. A vintage zip-front Sherpa collar sweater can add a shot of rugged to jeans or khakis, as well as an added boost of warmth.

2. Mix and match with color: Whether his style is trendy or understated, try menswear in dark earth tones, shades of purple, and classics such as navy, charcoal, and black. Pairing separates like a charcoal wool trouser with a black sport coat allows for flexibility with items he may already have — simply make it fresh with a new shirt or coordinating tie in a jewel-tone accent.

3. Business by day, party by night: Looks that can easily transition from work to evening are great for the man on the go. Wearing a dark, pinstriped wool suit with flat-front trousers can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Spice up the look with paisley ties or incorporate unusual colors to make a drab winter day more colorful. The perfect stocking stuffer, ties are a fun way to express a man’s personality without a major investment (neckwear prices start at $19.99).

4. Modern military: Military-inspired looks are all the rage this winter. Look for sharp military apparel such as buttons, exposed zippers, and shoulder detail with epaulets and stitching. Try a gunmetal gray no-iron shirt from Joseph Abboud with flat-front navy wool slacks.

5. Designer denim: Dark denim is ideal for casual workdays or weekends, making it a comfortably stylish and always versatile gift. In addition to offering a vast selection of leading brands in formalwear and suits, Men’s Wearhouse offers a variety of designer jeans, including Lucky, Buffalo, and Pronto Uomo.

6. Slimmer fits: A growing trend this winter is a modern slimmer-fitting suit. The two-button, side-vent, flat-front suit is the top choice right now and can be flattering for most men. Try top brands such as Calvin Klein, Lauren by Ralph Lauren, Kenneth Cole and Tommy Hilfiger.

Fire Fly...Not a Belt To Wear...

As if Fanny Packs weren't bad enough, now you can get your very own Fire or Fly fanny pack to look even more ridiculous. It is being sold as a belt, but there is no way this isn't a fanny pack. Ya ain't "Fly" if you wearing one of these, this He knows for sure.

Lessons in Buying Christian Louboutin...

Christian Louboutin is rolling over where he is right now, or at least he should be. There is no reason for him to be making, let alone for anyone to be buying Christian Louboutin that have a small heel. Of course you shouldn't buy any shoe with a small heel, but that's not the point of the story. The point is that He thinks if you are going to buy a Christian Louboutin heel you have to go high with them. Obviously you would first buy the black pump, and then after you have that you can expand your collection. But the collection should never include a small heel like this. Doesn't the small red heel go defunct and lose its purpose when it can't be seen? The high heel allows others to see the red bottom, these are cheap and gross looking.

Shoe of the Week...Camilla Skovgaard

There wasn't really a question this week, probably one of the easier Shoe of the Week picks He has had to make in a while. Camilla Skovgaard Spring Summer Collection is awesome, the fall collection was insanely hot, and it doesn't look like there is anything standing in the way for next year either. More high heels and jagged edges, there is very very little that He doesn't like about Camilla Skovgaard heels.

HottHe of the Week...Paige

"My hobbies are collecting outstanding speeding tickets, online shopping, and being completely inappropriate." How can you not like a girl who collects speeding tickets? He likes Ricky Bobby and He likes Paige. The best part about this HottHe of the Week post He does, is that these girls work their best assets week in and week out. Paige happens to have amazing legs, so bam, nine pictures and no one that doesn't show off the goods. More importantly, well not more, but equally, He says this all the time "He likes a tall girl in tall heels." Paige is the first Cali HottHe and He is proud to say Cali brought the heat this week, Paige is He Approved.

How would you describe your style? I would describe my style as put-together chic, similar to that of a Kardashian or Lauren Conrad. I have tried to be edgy or bohemian at times, but I never fully achieve the effortless beauty of the Olsen twins. I try to mix expensive, timeless pieces with more trendy, inexpensive items. I am fortunate to live in a city where vintage shopping is very accessible, so I take full advantage of that and frequent the vintage boutiques quite often to get one-of-a-kind pieces that no one else will have.

Favorite item you own? The favorite item I own would be a vintage 1980's quilted black Chanel crossbody. It was my Yia-Yia's (greek for Grandmother) and it was graciously passed down to me when she passed away. It is one of the most effortlessly chic items I have ever owned, and it can dress up any humdrum outfit.

Who are your favorite designers? My favorite designers are Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Marchesa, Matthew Williamson, Adam, Joie, Mara Hoffman, Elizabeth & James, and Leifsdottir.
