Vintage ties and cufflinks, A man's way to show style!

Unfortunate for the fashion forward guys out there, men's work wardrobes have still remained relatively uncreative, inflexible, and pretty uniform, leaving the ties and accessories the only way to add color,  pizzaz, and show your good sense of style, and uniqueness.  Create a memorable look with a wide bold vintage tie worn short.  Stand out in a knit tie from the 1960s.  Add polish with retro cuff links that show you pay attention to every last detail.    How do you pull it off?  Keep all the other elements of you ensemble modern, and toned down.  That will show that you take your appearance seriously, and that this isn't a costume or mockery.  Before you know it, you'll be all the buzz in the office!

Rene Ruiz strikes a balance between old world craftsmanship and
modern glamour by blending Miami's sultry's sexiness with greaceful
elegance. He succeed's in fusing the region's beauty and diversity
with his inspirations for the international social set from Los Angeles
to Palm Beach and Mexico City to Caracas.

Ruiz was born in Cuba, immigrated to the United States at an early age and settled in Miami, a place that was very influential during his formative years. He earned a degree in 1990 from the International
Fine Arts College in Miami. Soon thereafter, he honed his skills during apprenticeships throughout Europe, where he learned the art of couture first hand.

In 1992 Ruiz opened his first atelier in the fashionable South Florida enclave of Coral Gables where he quickly became the go-to designer for celebrities and socialites. Ruiz blends his own inspirations with Miami's rich cultural heritage in his evening and cocktail collection, available at specialty stores throughout the United States and Canada.

The designs fill a void in the luxury market with a collection that reflects not only his talent and standard for quality, but also a city and culture that are gaining momentum as the next international fashion capital.

Adding layers makes sundresses autumn appropriate

You love your summer dresses and aren’t ready to put them away until next spring. Don’t worry. Here are a few easy tips from Sheffield MacIntyre, owner of Back-in-Style.com, a vintage & designer clothing & accessories website that supplies unique items to celebrities, magazines, movies, and couture fashion houses, to transition those dresses into autumnal attire. The key is adding layers. You can incorporate any one of these tip, or all of them at once. Bonus: You can probably even do it with things you already have in your closet.

Wrap a scarf around your neck
Not only is it trendy, it is also functional. Covering up your neck creates the illusion of heavier clothing (even though you may not be adding that much), and reminds people of colder weather. While it is still warm add a thin silk scarf. As the weather changes, you can wear heavier ones. Wrap it around, and around, close to your neck. (Don’t wear it loosely draped tied in a knot like a flight attendant) This is also a great way to add some color to your outfit, or a create an interesting look with a contrasting pattern.

Add a blazer or jacket
A blazer in earth tones like brown, olive green, & mustard yellow, or heavier fabrics like corduroy and velvet, will easily make your dress fall appropriate, (and it will keep the chill away as the days get cooler). If your dress is loose and flowing like a tunic dress or a smock dress, add a structured jacket like a menswear-y blazer with stretch fabric so you don’t loose your shape. If you dress is more fitted, try a boxy or a trapeze jacket.

Wear a long sleeve blouse underneath
There are so many options here depending on the dress. It is a very current look since jumpers are so strong this season. If you are wearing a more structured dress, a silk blouse with long full sleeves and a tie neck, or ruffle is a way to give it the feminine touch. A button down, or oxford style shirt will make it more serious and sophisticated. Sometimes a contrasting neckline can be very interesting. If your dress has a scoop, or square neckline, add a shirt that has a ballerina neckline. Make sure the sleeves of your blouse are longer than those of your dress. If your dress is tank style, you can wear any length sleeves you want. Mutton, or big puffy sleeves are a fun way to modernize a tank style dress. A cashmere sweater also works to make it more cold weather appropriate.

Swap your sandals for boots or booties
Boots instantly make a dress more rugged and thus, autumnal. Wear them with out tights until the weather gets cold, allowing some skin to show between the top of the boot and the hem of your dress. 80s style booties are also a trendy choice, but are a bit funkier and more challenging to wear. For a more classic look go for equestrian style boots. They work with just about anything.

Just in case you do have to buy something new to winterize that sundress, Back-in-Style.com has lots to offer at an affordable price.

4. Ruffles

We all need a little whimsy in our outfits to brighten our mood. Ruffles are an easy way to add energy and movement to your look. And they are popping up everywhere, on busts, the hems, and sleeves. Strategically placed ruffles can help enhance your shape. Ruffles on the hem help balance wide hips, and ruffles on the bust help enhance a small chest.

5. One shoulder dresses & tops

As the awards season comes to a close, the prevalent trend was one shoulder dresses. This is spilling over into tops as well. Flatting on just about everyone, and very easy to wear, it is sexy yet practical.
