Wedding What-To-Wear-Underneaths!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageNow, while it’s not something all the guests will see, you should put some thought into what you’re wearing underneath your beautiful gown on your wedding day. For the big day, it’s all about comfort, control, and some sass, because your after-reception will be the inception of some intimate Mister and Misses time. Aside from the assortment of playful pieces of string and lace that you’ll need to stop your new hubby’s heart in its tracks for the entirety of your honeymoon, an “under ensemble” for the outfit in which you’ve been planning to take the plunge is essential for chapel day. Consider things with a corset to tauten up your marriage mirage as well as things with shelf to tease, as your man will probably be ripping you out of the gear you’ve spent months arranging. Have a secure, smooth and stimulating big day with tips from this undergarment-slideshow!

Explore A Classic Silhouette With The Boater Hat

Posted in: Uncategorized
image“Picture yourself in a boat on a river…” The Beatles may have had something there. We’ve seen the fedora come and go and the floppy sun hat loitering around, but the new shape in hats is…drumroll please…the boater hat. Seen on the Spring 09 Marc Jacobs runway and now your closet! It’s a classic silhouette, but the mini boater hat from Pixie Market was the first to re-catch our eye, now we can’t stop spotting them on the style-set in the streets. We love this perfect straw boater hat with grosgrain ribbon from Brooks Brothers & suggest you give this new/old shape a try. Perfect for lazy summer days in the park with your favorite floral print dress. Or try polishing up your standard skinny jeans and a slouchy t-shirt getup with a proper boater hat.

Hideo Wakamatsu Luggage Stands The Test Of Time

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe Hideo Wakamatsu line of luggage is modern, sleek and well-designed. The Japanese company, which has outposts in San Francisco and Palo Alto, features elegant lines which allow the structure of their pieces to speak for itself without the need for any unnecessary accoutrements.

Most of their options are black leather or black hard-case, though they do have a few pieces in red in addition to a few patterned pieces.

Investing in a piece of Hideo now is likely to ensure you can enjoy it for years to come! Check out the blog over at TheFind for more must-have summer trends and accessories!

Tech Savvy Gifts For Grads!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhen it comes to high school and college grads, tech-savvy gifts are some of the best around. There’s so much on the market though, so it’s important to figure out what they already have and what would make a good addition to their lives. For instance, college grad moving to a new city? How about the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to help them find their way around their new home? High school grad was a cross country superstar? I think an iPod shuffle would be a perfect gift to accompany them on their runs in college. If your niece graduated with a degree in environmental science, how about the solar battery charger to help her charge her phone while out on a clean-up site? Check out my slideshow for lots of other tech savvy gifts for grads!

Channel Tomboy Agyness Deyn With Menswear Gone Girlie

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver get the urge to raid your boyfriend’s closet? Well you’re in good company. All around the world girls are doing what many bold women have been doing forever — taking classic men’s pieces and making them their own. Inspired by the likes of women such as Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn (who was rarely seen without her slacks), today’s tomboy icons like Agyness Deyn, Samantha Ronson and model Freja Beha Erichsen are keeping the menswear trend alive among the traditionally “fairer” sex. Even Coco Chanel was a rule-breaking tomboy! What do you need to get the tomboy look? A great pair of black trousers a good way to start — look for some that have pleats or for ones that are a little roomy but still narrow in the leg like the “Burnisi” Pant by Theory. Top off those pants with a great plain white T-shirt or an updated button-down like ones from Alexander Wang. If you get a little chilly, add an oversized boyfriend blazer that is everywhere this season. Take cue from tomboy Agyness Deyn, who is often spotted wearing a fedora or a bowler hat and suspenders to add some whimsy to your look. Add some quirky accessories like argyle socks or a bowtie and a cummerbund (it’s a super versatile belt!) and you’re good to go. Check out the slideshow for how to get the look!
