LUXE PREP

We are dying over Michael Bastian's F/W 2012-13 collection over here.

Each piece covetable.

Luxe that isn't afraid to be worn!!

A recurring icon in his collection is of a dog. Top dog of the fashion pecking order, we take!!

The silhouette: SLIM!! At least a 30W trouser and 40R jacket. If you're not that size, we recommend Nole Cakes' gluten-free diet from here until Fall/Winter 2012 and beyond, in other words--FOR LIFE!! Ehhhhhhhhhhh.

We love the slimness of the trousers from suit-dressing to weekend and evening.

With some outfits, the pop of color is multi-tasking, not only visually appealing but grounding an outfit as well.

Love the gingham shirt (we recommend in the colors red, purple, turquoise) with the suit. The socks rock!! You could wear socks in a hot purple or turquoise, too!!

A pop of purple. Not only grounding the outfit but visually appealing. This turquoise/aqua blue/teal color is THE stand-out color of Fall 2012. Buy it in a t-shirt, a tie, a scarf and in a sock. It will definitely elevate your look to the next level.

Dying over the 70s-inspired ski jacket!!

This weekend look is PERFECTION. Dying over the cobalt blue high-tops!!

Dog icon throughout the collection. The 70s-inspired puff vest is still a huge item for Fall 2012.

Hello husband!! Looking hot with a tan, army-colored shorts and camo bag. Love!! the bag!!

Hello Brad Kroenig!!!!! We couldn't skip him!!

Dog icon on the pants. How True Prep!! D-I-E.

Oh hell to the yes. This tan hottie in a silk robe. A weekend getaway at the Waldorf or the Sofitel with this cutie in that robe!! Don't bother knockin' if this room is rockin'!!!

Holiday dinner dressing at its best. Love this tartan dinner jacket. We're breaking that out for Hanukkah 2012 and New Year's!!

Just like our coffee, strong and black!! The slim cut of those pants-- TO DIE!! Does he come with the ensemble??

See, here, you could add a turquoise belt or a turquoise-colored tie as a belt for the pants. It would be the color of the season plus giving it that pop but not over-powering the outfit!!
