** Colour Scheming **
Miss citron Céline paired with a boyfriended jean sitation and colour blocked Zara heels.
I just love this picture and the togetherness of this entire look.
TIP:
Try pairing bold solid colours in you trousers, bags and shoes to make a BAM statement. Hello day…. it’s me & here I come!!

Les Best.
** ARGGGGGggghhhhH - Do I look like a PIRATE??? **
On second thought of thinking I look all boho - one of my friends saw this picture and said I looked like a pirate - made me laugh so hard - “a pirate on a bike” - sounds like a good children’s storybook title if you ask me.
Same look from yesterday, but I had to share it because it made me laugh so hard! Arrrrghhhhh matey’s ! Hope you are having a fabulous one!
xoxo,
Les Best.
** Going for a SPIN **
Sunday is the BEST day to be out and about for a little spinny mcgee - I love my new bike ! It’s a matte / flat black Abici Italia - it rides like a dream. The best part of it is, I always get passed by serious cyclists - Look at me - do I look like I’m trying to race?
We ran into some friends and they said I was “Coachella-Kensignton Market-LA-Chic” lol I like that!
The look:
Had to do 1 more day of the boyfriend jean - M by Mendocino
Racerback tank: Garage Clothing
Head Scarf: Ardene

Smell ya later skaters (which reminds me, I want a skate board next!)

** Casually Speaking **
It’s the freakin weekend people ! Woot ! More of a relaxed day look brings you my last look of this series ! Day 5 of Project Rocking 1 item in different ways :-)
I kept this one super casual. I actually got wanting this sweater (well the look of this sweater) from the What’s My Name video - Rihanna. The scenes where RiRi is with drake in a comfortable - loose sweater in a robin’s egg blue. Ever since I saw that video I needed it.
Guess where I found this pup? American Eagle ! Too good. I have worn it with jean shorts as well - I heart it beacuse it’s so easy and chic!
Jeans: M by Mendocino
Sweater: American Eagle
Shoes: Chloé
Sunglasses: Tom Ford
Peace Necklace: Winners - so many gems in the jewellery section - just take TIME !
So this is the finale - a easy casual look to breeze into the long weekend.
xoxo,
Les Best.
** Blue on Blue and a neon pop on the wrist **
We are winding down and this is Day 4 of Project Rocking 1 item in different ways !
I paired my M by Mendocino boyfriends with a white to blue gradation shirt. Blue on Blue!
I tucked the front of the shirt in and left the back out for a relaxed feel. Again, I cuffed these 3 times over and rocked a pair of booties.
This look can transcend from dinner to drinks in 2 seconds flat - its dress up and dressed down all at the same time if you get what I mean :)
Jeans: M by Mendocino
Blouse: Zara
Neon Bracelet: Rebecca Minkoff
Booties: Topshop
Sunglasses: Dior Homme
Bag: Chanel 2.55
Enjoy the beautiful day!
xoxo,
Les Best.
** A Structured Product **
For those in capital markets - you get it (the title that is) - BUT this shirt really is a well structured product. Day 3 of Project Rocking 1 item in different ways features the boyfriend jeans from M by Mendocino (Nitorgen brand) and a bi-material shirt from the Marni for H&M collection.
As you can see the front of the shirt is cognac patent leather and the back is grey and cotton with an exposed zipper. I really love this look.
Hair up in a top knot (yes for my readers who have responded and love my hair like this, I will attempt to WORK it more) - thank you for the feedback !
So in its entirety this look is pretty loosy goosy, nothing is tight and I paired it with a super high heel in the same family of colours.
The bag - a throw all beachy bag - same familia again in terms of colours and enough space for a pair of gladiators should my feet hurt!
Jeans: M by Mendocino
Shirt: Marni for H&M
Sunglasses: Tom Ford
Shoes: Sam Edelman
Bag: Hermès Natural Felt ‘Camail’ Leather Detail Bag
Smile & Stomp On !
xoxo,
Les Best.
** The Canadian Tuxedo with pops of colour **
Day 2 of Project Rocking 1 item in different ways features the boyfriend jeans from M by Mendocino (Nitrogen brand) AND a jean button down from Joe Fresh Style which equates to the Canadian Tuxedo - jean on jean on jean.
To make the look a little more chic and less country (there is nothing wrong with country btw - just not my vision for this look) - I paired it with two pops of colour - a bold shoe and a bold bag.
The Canadian tux is so classic and easy, you can even rock this look with a pair of jean shorts.
I cuffed the jeans 3 times to change the length and the ability to show off the shoe - and uncuffed the look wasn’t the same to be quite honest.
Jeans: M by Mendocino
Shirt: Joe Fresh Style
Shoes: Zara
Sunglasses: RayBan
Bag: Céline Mini Luggage
Hope you enjoyed day 2 of the jean project!
xoxo,
Les Best.
** Say hello to my Furry Friend **
Day 1 of Project Rocking 1 item in different ways features the boyfriend jean from M by Mendocino (Nitrogen brand) - please remember you can always find this same look of a jean in any store or D.I.Y. and destroy a pair of your own!
This look is for a casual night out, say out with girlfriend’s for drinks. I kept my top simple and non fussy - just a simple deep v unisex t-shirt, paired with nude pumps since my jacket is doing all the talking.
It’s important to keep in mind having 1 statement piece and let the rest be easy - MOST times (not some, but MOST) - Less is More.
Less is a Bore < Less is More
Jeans: M by Mendocino
T-Shirt: Unisex Deep V - American Apparel - size medium (to get more of a boyfriendy vibe).
Coat: Vintage from Black Market on Queen St. in T.O. - $10.00 !!!!!!! - probably one of my most prized possessions.
Shoes: Via Spiga - nude peep toes
Bag: Chanel 2.55
A reminder with vintage - keep in mind your purchases need to be cleaned - either dry cleaned or washed and that sometimes with delicates, you need to take into account the actual cost of cleaning the garment as reoccurring costs on an ongoing basis going forward.
Happy Hunting !!
xoxo,
Les Best.
** The BOYfriend (jean) **
Project Rocking 1 item in different ways is what I call this puppy (I know its a long name, but its what it is ;-) ). And I will attempt to do this project more often and in sequence so you can see how one piece can be styled.
Item:
1 Boyfriend jean.
Premise:
5 different transitional looks.
All this week.
Jeans: Nitorgen Brand from M by Mendocino. The rips in the knees are way more stretched since the time that I purchased them due to wear and literal tear, and the fact that it helps them look more natural and authentic.
Hope you enjoy my mini project !
xoxo,
Les Best.
** New Bestie Bracelets **
The newest bestie bracelets in the bestie collection are the new camel and rose gold hardware Kelly double tour Hermès bracelets. One was located in Toronto and the other had to be shipped from Calgary - how special right?
Gotta love it - now, must attempt at wearing this everyday … forever!
xoxo,
Les Best.
