BALENCIAGA lambskin clutch. CHANEL lambskin envelope wallet. EXCEL teeth whitening chewing gum. PURELL hand sanitizer. A SHARPIE pen to sign autographs (haha jk. . . .*ahem*. . .*blank stare*). LOUIS VUITTON money clip for my non-existent cash. YVES SAINT LAURENT L'Homme cologne. House & car keys. KIEHL's Lip Balm #1. Business cards. A lighter.
I've done a "What's in Your Bag" blog post before, sometime, a VERY long time ago. But a handful of readers recently suggested that I do a "What's in Your Man Clutch" post. Um…okay. Sure.
I am one of the many few guys that has no problem carrying a hand-sized bag or clutch. I'll get the raised brow look and the occasional smart mouth comment from some moron in baggy carpenter jeans but, I don't care—Hey asshole, my "murse" costs more than your house rent, so here's a big middle finger to ya!
I carry a clutch because it holds all my daily necessities all in one small handheld package. Phone, keys, wallet, business cards, lip balm, etc.—that's a lot of needs that I am not about to stuff my pant pockets, because let's be honest, all you guys out there would agree that there should be only one bulge in your pants and it's not from the pen in your pocket.
Just sayin'.
I have an obsession with anything gold. It's flashy, a bit obnoxious and definitely showy…sort of like me—I love it.
And truth be told, there is nothing wrong with mixing gold and silver jewelry together. I do it all the time—it's perfectly acceptable. I love to mix my metals together but to make it less tacky, I always include a bridging piece of jewellery that contains both and silver to help alleviate the look.
Do you guys mix your metals?

Ezra Constantine Spring Summer 2010
If I wanted to make a bold and edgy statement through my clothes or if I were to wrangle a bitch to the back parking-lot by the weave and look damn good doing it, I’d be damn sure that I would be dressed in nothing but Ezra Constantine by the talented Greta Constantine design duo, Kirk Pickersgill & Stephen Wong.
I look forward to the upcoming collections for the menswear. Now if only I could hustle on the streets to have enough money or sell my heartless soul to the Devil to get my hands on a pair of those marvelous biker pants from this collection. . .

Vogue Italy - MEISELPIC - Steven Meisel
Maybe if I SKANK’ed myself up on my personal Twitpic account like the perfectly cheeky examples of that above, I would have more interested followers stalking me on Twitter? Hmmm. . .it’s a possibility. But until then, I’ll stick to my bitchy rants and if all else fails I’ll just have turn my trashy volume up a few notches.
My bedroom is my sanctuary, my life’s escape, my security and my place to dream, that’s why I don’t allow many to enter it until now. So, here is just a peek of my place of refuge to show to others that I don’t actually live in a cardboard box with newspaper as carpeting.
-Truth be told and the story of my life, I am an obsessed neat freak.
-I love my eggshell white walls, which may cry boredom to others but I love the refreshing, clean and alluring mood it exudes.
-Fresh cut flowers can always be found in my bedroom. I have a soft spot for them, especially white ones . . .well except for carnations or baby’s breath because they’re cheap fillers that I regard as just weeds.
-Candles are dispersed around in my bedroom and are constantly being burned. It feels as though I live in the stone-age at times because I’d prefer candle light over my lamps any day.
-Music can constantly be heard coming from my bedroom in the hallways. Whether it’s Snoop Dogg blasting from my stereo or some Damien Rice and ol’school Brandy whispering through the speakers at night, there’s never a moment without a tune.
-Photographs and frames are abundant and are seen at every corner of my room. But as time progressed and relationships soured, many of the pictures were removed and left imageless. Photographs I frame are like trophies, so never would I keep something framed when it had no value left to share.
So, how would you describe your sanctuary?

The Starving Stylist’s Spring Necessities
This is not merely a Spring style necessity list for men as it is very much a list of WANTS for the very superficial ME.

Lambswool Cowichan Sweater: THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY
Like a true slave of trendy fads, I have finally jumped on the Olympic bandwagon in the city and purchased myself some official 2010 Olympic gear from the Hudson’s Bay Company. I know, my fashion creditably just went down a couple notches on the scale of style but with the 2010 Winter Olympics celebrating in my beautiful home city of Vancouver in less than two weeks, I loyally had to show my pride somehow and I doubt strolling around with my Balenciaga Weekender and oversized sunglasses was going to cut it especially with so many athletes from around the world in town!
Okay sure, my intentions aren’t necessarily in full support of the games as it is to meet attractive foreigners, but hey can you imagine how lumberjack-edgy-fierce I’ll look in this lambswool cowichan sweater paired with some constructed Doc Martens, distressed jeans and a then bundled up with a chunky scarf? I’d make the perfect ski-bunny!
P.S. THE STARVING FOR DIOR CONTEST ENDS TOMORROW! LAST CHANCE TO ENTER >> Click here
P.S.S. If y’all are in Downtown Vancouver this Sunday February 7th, check out my girl, DemiCouture's vintage clothing sale at W2 at the Woodwards! Click here for more info.

If you have yet to meet style bloggers Vanessa or Lily from Vancouver BC, than you obviously have been hiding under a rock that was covered over by your Snuggie blanket.
I really admire these two girls as they are the epitome of fashion innovation and cutting edge style. They take fashion to another level and like me, there isn’t a time in a day when they don’t look good.
So with so much fierceness of three local fashion bloggers in one room and on the contrary to many that assume, no bitchfits, gossiping, hairbrushes or BlackBerry’s were thrown at each other while on set even though it seem as though someone in particular got more frames than the other two. . . . . . I’m just kidding. . .*ahem* bitch. *ahem*
Anyways, much love and thanks to Vanessa for coming up and organizing such a triple threat of an idea for us three to unite. Also, thank you to our wonderful photographer Daniel Fleming, who I’ll have to bribe and persuade away from Vanessa to be my personal photographer one of these days.

Prada Menswear Spring/Summer 2010 shot by Hedi Slimane
Boys take note and ladies be ready to preach to your loves, the Prada Men’s Spring Summer 2010 collection is one of the few sets this season that define what any professional looking man should look like—simple and polished. And mark my words; if I could trade in my entire wardrobe along with an internal organ for just one half of that collection, I would . . .and would die happy!
With absolute sleek perforated details, sharp tailoring and polished classics—I didn’t see anything in the collection that was not timeless. Every garment could be worn for a lifetime but at the same time it was still very modernized and chic. Trends constantly come and go like pathetically unfulfilled New Year resolutions but the Men’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection for Prada is an instant classic, just like your Chanel 2.55 purse that you starved yourself into anorexia in order to be able to afford.
So, which collection caught your attention this season?

With nothing else better to do with my so-called-fabulous life, I have recently picked up an amusing obsession for astrology. Skeptic or not, without a doubt the study of astrology and horoscope reading is pretty interesting.
Me, being born a Cancer sign got the complete shitty end of the stick, which explains why I’m so damn bloody emotional all the time! Cancers, like a crab have a rock hard exterior but we’re complete soft mushes deep-down inside our shells, but that doesn’t mean we won’t bitch slap you and rip you a new one if you ever wrongfully crossed us. It just means that we’re sensitive but extra feisty.
Anyways, so since my fashion career seems to be going down the drain faster than dishwasher fluid, maybe I should shift gears and try the WHORESCOPE reading business? Ummmm okay maybe NOT because I would make an ugly Miss Cleo in my belted and floral printed muumuu. On a side note: I’m on the prowl for any SCORPIOS out there! So hollaaaaaa!
So, what's your horoscope sign?

“The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.”
--Sydney J. Harris
I have concluded that 2009 was a fabulously SHIT-tastic sort of year filled with nothing but hurtful heartache/break, mental break-downs, drunken club scraps and major BITCH fits. I’m basically surprised that I have yet to change my name from the Starving Stylist to the SCORNFUL Stylist. Therefore, my 2010 New Year’s resolution is to basically relax and to NOT sweat the small stuff. So to help me get started, this is MY Top 5 Essentials which will assist me through 2010.
1) Mighty Leaf Brand Green Tea Tropical Tea: Not much of a coffee drinker that I am, green tea is the next best thing for my daily dose of caffeine. Besides from being a great antioxidant it’s also helpful in weight-loss management . . . so need I say more, Fatty?
2) Shu Uemura Deep Sea Water Facial Mist: Besides a double vodka on the rocks, this spray is the next best thing to help get you little refreshed and revived when life is feeling a little dull. It’s great for instant hydration and invigoration of the spirit and skin; I like to call this my "liquid cocaine".
3) A luxurious presidential bath robe: Definitely warmer and plusher to lounge around in
than a stupid Snuggie blanket. Perfect for comfortable nights in, solemnly watching sappy chick flicks and feeling pitiful for the possibility of dying alone and single. Also, don’t worry about feeling like a fat ass, it only comes in one size. One point for the ego!
4) Moleskine Notebook: Journaling, doodling, writing wish lists or even plotting your next REVENGE, these classy and lavish books are perfect for little life’s thoughts that are too TABOO to mention out loud.
5) Kiehl's Lip Balm #1: With feisty words spitting out of ones mouth, one needs to have lips perfectly treated at all times since lip reading could sometimes be a lot more powerful than words itself.
So, what's your necessary essential for the New Year?
Px.
Salvatore Ferragamo "Lince" Boot w/ Buckle Strap.
Besides a gag-worthy box of Pot of Gold chocolates and a Snuggie blanket that I received for Christmas this year, look what Santa surprised me with underneath my artificial Christmas tree! A luxurious brand new pair of boots I can swagger around and trample all over idiot morons with! Who cares about Puss in Boots because y’all better watch out for this BITCH IN BOOTS! Thank you Santa! xoxoSo what did y’all find under your Christmas tree this year?
Px.
Rubber Boots & Belt: GUCCI. Trench Coat: BURBERRY.
Who needs Santa when your two best friends are Visa & Mastercard!
My two best friends are horrible influences and they always seem to encourage me to spend more money than I make. But in my strong defense and in their full support, life living in rainy Vancouver wouldn’t be complete without a fabulous NEW trench and chic NEW rain boots because everyone knows it rains about 300 out of 365 days a year in this damn forsaken city. And as for the NEW belt and with every reason why I buy them, it helps me keep my pants up after I loose all that weight from STARVING in order to have enough money to pay off my credit card debts!
So, what item(s) have you spoiled yourself with this holiday season?
