Tod's f/w11: What not to miss

Last June, while I was in Milan for menswear fashion week, I attended the Tod's presentation. For the last few seasons they have been showing their collections at Villa Necchi, this stunning 1930's villa with a beautiful front garden and a dark wooden interior, which was the first villa in Milan to have its own pool.

There is a lot of suede in the new Tod's collection, which I love because it's one of the best ways of introducing texture in a look. My absolute favourites were the Chelsea boots. They're going to be my first FW11 footwear buy and I can't wait until they hit the store. It's going to be incredibly hard to choose only one colour, though!
I also fell in love with the croc pieces. The Moleskin-esque notebooks and diaries are incredibly chic, as is the watch case.
The ready-to-wear pieces like the double-chested blazer make it hard to only focus on the loafers, of which Tod's is launching a new model this season. The Vadim shoe is a new take on their signature "gomini". They have a more elongated body and a suede bow detail at the front. They are also seasonless and, hence, a great classic buy.
To top it all off, the weather in Milan was amazing and the Tod's team treated us like royalty. Who could want anything else?

He's Fly: Hayden Christensen

I've been keeping an eye on Hayden Christensen's style ever since he got together with Rachel Bilson. I have, since then, been a fan of his really laid back casual style and his very slick and simple smart looks. Lately, I have noticed him wearing a pair of boots that I almost bought for myself last winter. I have no idea of what the correct way to refer to them is but they're sort of the boot version of a docksider shoe. They're very comfortable shoes, sturdy, dry and very light. I would really love to get my hands on the Yuketen version but, at $530, I very much doubt I'll be able to. However, I do love the fact that Christensen's version is zipped on the outside. There is something so cool about wearing them with trousers tucked in and the zip halfway up.

Have a look at Hayden's latest appearance on a music video. I really love his look, which is too bad because the song is pretty irritating.
