Style Muse - Mboko Ndima Mobutu

Hello there...... how is everyone doing? 

Just the other day I was asked to blog more on mens fashion and decided we will  balance it out from now so the men can also be inspired just hope they take notes.

I honestly do not know why it took me ages to blog about his dapper style but hey here it is.
With being a regular on street style  blogs I stumbled  across Mboko Ndima Mobutu, it seems his pictures are cropping up on nearly every menswear blog. 

23 year- old Paris-based contributing stylist/editor for monthly french magazine Be ( Lagardere), menswear fashion editor for online monthly publication Ghubar...such a mouthfull for a young one, how inspiring 

He discribes his style as " playfull, refined and gentlemen-like" and protrays exactly that  in every outfit,  truly owning it everytime you come across him.

What I love about his polished style is that its never dull or monotonous and his attention to detail is immaculate. Its quite obvious that he has a fetish for accessories with those colourful socks,penny loafers to modern oxford lace shoes, signature clear glasses, wide brim stretson hats, stacked bracelets/watches,  and always having a fabulous tote/portfolio to carry. you must understand that being well dressed takes time and effort, ist a natural gift to Moboko as he always looks effortless.

So I hope our male readers have taken  pointers or were inspired by Moboko Ndima Mobutu style and would love to hear what you think of his style so please  comment.

Thank you for stopping by

On the Street

Hi Everyone 

With Paris Menswear Fashion week taking place, the stylish men came out to play even when it snowed bringing out their warm fabulous coats and different texture jackets and layering was just what they had to do to keep warm.

Boy oh boy......

Hi....Fashion dolls

One of my Style Icons and Russian editor Miroslava Duma always exhibits the latest haute items. When I saw her with the Boy Chapel I was in awe, what a beauty of a bag and I love the fact that for this Resort 2013 collection Chanel stayed away from their usual quilted flap that we have come to adore. The collection is bold and sophisticated on so many levels yet so simple and elegant that is what Coco herself personified.

 "Chanel used men's underwear to make dresses, she had this boyish attitude, infact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally explains why the new bag was called the Boy Chanel. " Karl Lagerfeld explains of his inspiration 

The Boy Chanel comes in three different sizes from a tote to the smallest being a purse, you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a cross body bag. 

I honestly would not mind a yellow or blue one
