No Booties Allowed!
On September 3, 2009 at 12:50 am
Somewhere along the line women and fashion bloggers missed the mark on booties. Somewhere along the line women and fashion bloggers missed the mark on booties. The polished meets the edgy look seems to be out of play here. Most fashion experts say booties with dresses look like hooves, and that women should cease from [...]
Lose The Leggings?
On September 2, 2009 at 4:30 am
They were everywhere this summer and I have a very strong feeling that they will be omnipresent this fall as well. They came in all types of sizes, colors, cuts and textures. While some women were reluctant at first to embrace them, most fell pray to their comfort and the fact that they were a no-brainer grab-and-go [...]
In The Trenches…
On September 1, 2009 at 1:07 am
No other coat is as versatile as the trench coat, and no other coat commands the same respect as the trench coat…According to Wikipedia. “The trench coat was developed as an alternative to the heavy sergegreatcoats worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by [...]
The Evolution Of The Murse
On August 31, 2009 at 3:07 am
Men from all walks of life are embracing fashion as a lifestyle and not as a forced habit. From well thought out looks and ensembles, men are stepping into the kaleidoscope that is fashion and style. While some are still holding on to their security blankets others are edging out into a brave new world. With this [...]
Your Fall Jeans
On August 28, 2009 at 8:10 am
So I have decided to please the Gods of Parcbench by doing one feature a week. While I generally do not care for features (because I feel that at some point it becomes less about the work, and more about the endorsement) I have found common ground in doing so. Going forward I will feature [...]
Clutch Your Pearls!
On August 27, 2009 at 2:04 pm
When in doubt clutch your pearls! The quintessential pearl necklace has always been a fashion must have. From Chanel to Dolce, pearl necklaces have remained a staple in fashion, and a pillar to those that love it. No other single item can both transform and enhance an outfit quite like the pearl necklace. While adding class [...]
I Like What I Like…
On August 26, 2009 at 12:20 am
Fashion and style are very slippery topics. If you squeeze too tight you run the risk of them slipping our of your hand, and if you don’t hold tight enough the same may happen. At the end of the day both fashion, and style are subjective. What is appealing to one might not be appealing [...]
Put The Clippers Down!
On August 25, 2009 at 12:50 am
Since Rihanna brought punk/couture mainstream it seems that everyone has begun to follow her lead. Yes there were other starlets who attempted to be forerunners with this particular look, however they failed miserably. When Rihanna first cut her locks everyone loved and copied her stylish bob. As she became more confident in her new found [...]
Fellas, Step It Up!
On August 24, 2009 at 11:57 am
I can not help but notice the fashion statement that seems to be plaguing men from every demographic. While it would seem to be contained in one region, this fashion hazard seems to have no face, and no specific preference. I have seen men from all spectrums of society adapt this guise as their go to [...]
Looks Can Be Deceiving!
On August 21, 2009 at 1:20 am
There is no such thing as second best when it comes to fashion. There is no alternate solution for the equation. Purchasing the next best thing will never be as fulfilling as purchasing what you really desire. There is a sense of pride that comes along with owning an original. How often have you seen someone [...]
Flat Out!
On August 20, 2009 at 4:30 am
There is nothing sexier than a woman in heels. Not just any heel, but a heel 3 inches or higher. Heels have the power to both elongate, and tone a woman’s leg. By adding height and altering a woman’s walk, heels have the power to entrap any man who dares take notice of their Medusa like [...]
Individually Mainstream!
On August 19, 2009 at 4:15 am
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Ben Sherman Fall 2009 launch party. Ben Sherman is known for it’s Mod inspired design aesthetic, with reference to The Beatles. Everyone in attendance at the event in some way channeled that hippy psychedelic plaid fringe motif. As I perused the event I noticed that the crowd [...]
Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen!
On August 18, 2009 at 12:59 am
The powers that be have decided that fashion retailers have suffered long enough, and have decided to come together in a combined effort to put a halt to the suffering of fashion retailers. With the current economy being so fickle and consumers becoming more frugal with their dollar, luxury fashion retailers have seen a plummet in [...]
Designer Phones…
On August 17, 2009 at 1:20 am
Technology has always been a fascination of mine especially if it is a hand held device; but more specifically, a cell phone. I have always enjoyed cell phones from the barbaric brick phone to today’s modern iPhone. When Motorola’s Razor hit I went as far as dropping my current service provider at the time just [...]
Perez’s New Site. Keep Your Day Job.
On August 14, 2009 at 8:10 am
Perez Hilton commenting, and critiquing fashion? How absurd. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at such stupidity. I would assume that one who critiques fashion would display some sense of style themselves. Perez Hilton has taken it upon himself to launch (what he claims has been a long time coming) his own “celebrity meets [...]
One block at a time
On August 13, 2009 at 1:30 am
They say good things come in two’s or is it threes? Whatever the saying it is clear that twins Dee & Ricky (born Demetrius and Ricardo) have the “it” factor. Hailing from Staten Island these two have taken the fashion industry by storm with their LEGO inspired broaches. From Marc Jacobs, Kanye West, Travis McCoy and [...]
