From Rough Rider to Easy Rider

Awesome wide brim hats and bad ass attitudes...below are some of my favorite rough riders.

John Wayne

Clint Eastwood

3:10 to Yuma

Deleon Tequila Billboard

By far, the most sexiest billboards I've ever seen in Hollywood. Oh My Lord!

Just recently I came across this spread in Elle Magazine and was absolutely blown away by the work of stylist, Kate Lanphear. She made rough look easy by adding a hint of bohemian, excess furs, wide brim hats, and fluid maxi dresses.

EASY RIDERS

The Olsen Twins

Bohemian Chic

Sienna Miller

Fur coat and wide brim hat

Kate Moss

John Galliano Fall 2010 RTW Fur Coat

I am in love with his blue scarf that pops against his gray cardigan. His skinny suspenders and geek-chic glasses add a cute nerdy dash to his ensemble.

Princess Diana was a huge fashion icon. Her style was sophisticated, classy, and unforgettable. Now, soon to be Princess Kate, will be viewed in the public eye as a new fashion icon. She looks stunning in her blue dress. I love the way it accentuates her figure. And let's not forget her dazzling 18-carat sapphire engagement ring. Wowzer!!!

Patrick Demsey's blue eyes are hypnotizing. When he wears his blue scrubs on Grey's Anatomy, I can't breathe. Will someone call the doctor??

The other day I went to Charlie Lapson's showroom in downtown Los Angeles. I was like a kid in a candy store. I wanted every style of handbag and wrist watch he had in his showroom.

Hot Men in Plaid

The plaid shirt isn't going anywhere anytime soon, especially during the Fall season. Long sleeve or short sleeve, every man can look hot in this pattern. Trust me, ask any girl.
