THE MAN REPELLER

So, I don't think I'm a man repeller just for the simple reason that I have an ass that won't quit, so even if I try to hide that thing with loose layers and utility jackets and the like, it's still there for all to see. HOWEVER, my boyfriend complains about my wardrobe from time to time and doesn't quite grasp the current trends that I have been known to approach from time-to-time (such as baggy, cropped tees, partially tucked-in shirts, blazers FOR DAYS, etc.). I try and tell him that it's all in the name of fashion, but I think men prefer the Guess-mid-90s-look (aka tight and revealing) to the current trends sweeping Manhattan and the rest of the world today.







After numerous conversations and tutorials (ie. 'see, she's also wearing a pregnancy shirt?' & 'Even Kate Middleton loves blazers!), I found my guru. She comes in the form of a witty and fashionable lady from Manhattan's very own Upper East Side (xoxo). And, she has a blog. Meet The Man Repeller.

Dear Man Repeller: I love you. Thank you.

I WANNA BE LIKE...

SPRING 2010 READY TO WEAR

PROENZA SCHOULER S/S 2010

I shun fashion week not because I'm opposed to fashion (I'm not), but because I'd rather spare myself the S&M ritual it is to look at all the amazing S/S 2010 lines.





Well, Proenza Schouler has gone and done it. They made an incredible line and every fucking piece is so wearable, I want the entire collection. I could never afford an entire line, let alone one piece, so posting photos of some of my favorite, ready to wear pieces will have to suffice.

If I were skinny...

I'd rock a different version of this outfit every day.

Shred the Gnarrr!

I'm in the process of shredding the shit outta this baby:


I think my friends at IS MENTAL would be very proud!

Oh and the camera on my cell phone is loose and let's in dirt and dust, thus all the black spots.

Irina Lazareanu

I really love Irina's style. I have been getting more into men's fashion and men's clothing for myself recently. My favorite outfit is a nice pair of fitted jeans, a white collared shirt and a blazer. I wear a suit to work everyday and have really been working on adapting my work wardrobe to my play wardrobe. Because Irina is so flat and skinny, she pulls off the menswear style so well.
