Any Mad Men fans out there?

I decided to dedicate a blog to Mad Men for couples looking for some inspiration for their aisle style. I must admit, I was a little late to the Mad Men party, but now I’m obsessed!

Perhaps this isn’t breaking news but Donald Draper (John Hamm) is HOT!

Will you just look at him?!

He is the essence of cool, and even when his integrity is off-kilter (i.e. extramarital liaisons), he is STILL hot.

What makes Don so appealing? His impeccable style!

Don Draper is perfectly groomed. His suits are fitted and perfectly pressed; his shirts are crisp; his skinny, 1960’s ties are mod and sleek; he wears cufflinks, shiny shoes and has amazing hair.

As fine a specimen of manhood as Don is (oh, and he is), we must also talk about his gorgeous wife Betty (January Jones).

Housewife and mother Betty Draper is one of the few female characters with enough money to dress in expensive clothes, and I love to watch what she is going to wear next. On the surface, she totally looks like a stepford wife, but there's so much more to her than aprons and feather dusters. Betty's wardrobe is so much fun because it's relentlessly feminine.

Betty is unbelievably classic and everything she wears screams elegance and beauty.

I’m certainly not the first to pay tribute to the amazing vintage fashion in this period drama about an ad agency in New York - it has inspired the collections of runway designers like Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Prada as well as mass retailers such as Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, and Coach.

And it is little wonder. Sterling Cooper - a place where ad-men in sharp three-button suits sip Scotch in the office, chain smoke, and openly ogle their secretaries - has been beautifully retro-styled. It's beautiful to watch.

If you looking to dress your bridesmaids in similar retro-style you can select dresses like this one from http://www.perkuponline.com/


Now for the guys...

The Emmy-winning show's costume director, Janie Bryant, has teamed up with Brooks Brothers to create a “Mad Men” edition suit inspired by Draper and the other well-dressed cads at fictional ad firm Sterling Cooper.

The limited run of suits — only 250 — will be available through the show's season finale on Nov. 8 - so get moving!!!

Brooks Brothers has made this so easy too! They have launched a special website to promote the suits - just click here!
