The Best and Worst of Oscar Fashion
March 8th, 2010Hyundai Being Sued By Louis Vuitton
March 2nd, 2010If you tuned into the Superbowl this year and saw Hyundai’s ad, you may have noticed something a little familiar in it… the Louis Vuitton monogram. In the split-second scene, there’s a guy holding a basketball printed with that notorious gold monogram–a bad move for the auto maker. And not just because it was a really, really, bad commercial; Louis V doesn’t take kindly to folks stealing his logos.
Wardrobe Staples
March 1st, 2010It’s important for any woman to have those few go-to items in her wardrobe. Classic, versatile items are essential to 
looking good and feeling comfortable.
The Pencil Skirt has been a staple to looking sleek and stylish for years. It’s considered a staple because it can be dressed for the office with a crisp button-down shirt, styled for a night out with an embellished top and blazer, or dressed down for an afternoon out shopping with a v-neck t-shirt and comfortable flats.
Which bring us to out next staple item: comfortable flats. Sure, heels are great, but lets be real, flats are better. Flats are great because you can pretty much wear them with anything and still look great. And there are so many varieties in the style, that you can basically have a pair for any occasion.
Another staple item is a day dress. Women really don’t wear dresses like they used to in the 50s and back. Nowadays we tend to reserve dresses for special occasions or view them as evening wear. But it’s nice, and comfortable, to have a casual day dress to wear if you’re sick of the jeans and t-shirt look.
Cool Winter Hats That Keep You Warm!
February 25th, 2010
Winter is pretty brutal, and if you’re in the northern part of the country, it doesn’t look like it’s easing up anytime soon. So if you don’t already have an awesome winter hat to keep you hair protected from the elements and your ears from turning into little icicles, here are some cool winter hats we’ve been seeing around the city that you may want to check out.
Fur Hats:
These have been pretty popular this winter season in neutral tones like brown and tan. They look stylish when paired with a neutral coat and most definetly have you covered in the warmth department.
Berets:
Not just for French class, this winter seems to have started a Beret renaissance. These are great for winter because they look classic and chic and are often made of wool, which is winter-weather friendly.
Knitted Hats:
These have always been a staple in winter wear and are more poplar than ever. If you’re tired of the plain version, you should try to find one adorned with applique flowers or beads, or one in a bright color.
Fedora:
The classically cool fedora looks great with casual or work attire. You can pull this hat off in rain, sleet or snow. Either way it has you covered in both the style and weather-protection departments.

Winter Boots
February 22nd, 2010If you’ve been having trouble this winter walking through the snow, it may be time to invest in a nice pair of boots. There are many waterproof boots that can get you around town, but it can be difficult to find a pair that’s multi-functional and fashionable. You don’t want to feel embarrassed about your footwear, especially if you’re in a more formal setting.
What I recommend is to invest in a pair of Timberland boots. Classic colors like black and brown are nice, and they stomp through the snow like it’s their job, because it is. I have a pair of each, and they’ve lasted me for more than eight years now. My dad had a pair of stompers when he was around my age, and they finally gave out on him – the heel began to fall off. He was devastated, and called the company because they had a lifetime guarantee on the boot. Unfortunately they didn’t make his specific shoe, but they sent him a gift certificate for the amount the shoe would have cost, had it been current. With it, he brought a brand new pair of stompers, and he can get through the snow no problem.
Shackets. Nuff Said.
February 18th, 2010Suffer for fashion. Sometimes. But sometimes it’s nice to just be comfortable. So I, a practical man, have decided to do a bit of both. When I go out, it’s cold because it’s winter time. But rather than wear a big bulky coat that I’ll have to check when I get to the bar or club, I wear a thick plaid flannel shacket. No that’s not a typo, a shacket is a neologism I have coined – it is a shirt-jacket. Beautiful, isn’t it? Yes, my thick flannel shirt, keeps me warm enough to not have to wear anything over it. And besides being completely vogue, I get to keep that two bucks I save from the coat check.
Stylish Rain Gear Does Exist!
February 15th, 2010
Looking good in the rain was once thought futile. As soon as those pesky drops emerge from the clouds, that hairstyle you spent so much time perfecting is gone and along with those suede boots you decided to wear.
But don’t let a little water rain on your fashion parade. There are many stylish, and yes, waterproof wardrobe options for you to choose from in these upcoming rainy months.
If you don’t have any good rain boots, you should invest. Rain boots have come a long way from the plain old yellow galoshes of the past. These days there are all kinds of styles, print, and colors to choose from. You’ll be glad you’re wearing these on those extra-soggy days where puddles are everywhere.
You don’t have to dress like the Gorton’s Fisherman to stay protected from the elements. 
Coats today come in the coolest styles and colors and are generally made from nylon or polyester and vary in length. Fashion designers have gone out of their way to make this type of rain gear, practical, comfortable, and nice to look at. The price on this type of rain gear can fluctuate, depending on the style that you choose.
