Brooks Brother’s x Levi’s Collaborate

Chic-Chic — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:30:35 +0000

It seems like everyone is collaborating with Levi’s recently. From big names such as Jean Paul Gaultier, House of Holland to more affordable lines like Opening Ceremony and Obey. This time the collaboration is with another classic brand, Brooks Brothers. These iconic brands have been a staple by most for over a century. Brooks Brothers Chief in Merchandising, Lou Amendola, has said it herself “For generations, nothing has conveyed the image of iconic American style more than a pair of Levi’s jeans worn with a Brooks Brothers button-down shirt…” So it is only natural that they came together to come up with these great denim pieces.

The jeans will come in three fits. The ever classic 501, 505, which is the zip-fly version of the 501, and what I think is one of the new iconic fits 514, which is a slim straight fit. You can never go wrong with those fits. All of these jeans will be manufactured in Los Angeles and retailing for $148. They are now available nationwide at Brooks Brothers stores and online at the BrooksBrothers website.

Video: Bankrupt New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice Is Shilling for a Tanning Salon

Chic-Chic — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 12:11:09 +0000

Teresa Guidice of Real Housewives of New Jersey, who is known for her leopard-print wardrobe and propensity for table-flipping, has to find some new sources of income now that she and her husband “Juicy” Joe have filed for bankruptcy and are losing their home to foreclosure. Now she’s appearing in a commercial for a place called Sizzle Tans. Teresa’s on-camera presence is pretty laughable – maybe she should hire her daughter Gia’s acting coach for some practice sessions?

Vanessa Hudgens in Sass & Bide

Chic-Chic — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:55:28 +0000

I think printed denim is going to be the next big thing, especially leopard. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted wearing her Sass & Bide Zippora Leopard jeans again. She was on her way to rehearsals for her new role in Rent. Vanessa will be playing Mimi. I think these are a great look on Vanessa and they fit her perfectly. She can really pull off many trends. She wears many of them but she is still able to keep it looking like a Vanessa Hudgens outfit.

I think this is a great trend for the women. I think that the leopard also doesn’t have to be in the tan/yellow tones either. I think that it will also look nice in a deep red or gray. I wonder which celebrities we will spot in this trend next? Who do you think would rock it the most?

Ushering in Autumn: my-wardrobe.com for AW10.

Chic-Chic — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:51:01 +0000

Is it usually this stiflingly hot in London? In so many ways the English capital doesn't seem so far removed from Dublin but anything weather-related is an exception. Yeah, you have a few showers here now and then but the constant humidity is nigh on unbearable most of the time and I'm not usually in fear of extensive sunburn when ~~running~~ crawling to the corner shop back home.

While this Summer may have brought me sky-high levels of vitamin D, it's also ushered in a sort of sartorial lethargy; vests, shorts and shoes sans socks are all I can manage when a walk to the Tube is bound to prove more tropical than temperate. So, naturally, I've already started thinking about what'll be on offer come Autumn/Winter and the folks at my-wardrobe.com were more than willing to inform about the choices for padding for the impending weather change.

The v. lovely Susannah and Ashleigh gave me a thorough run down of what's on offer, from Stone Island to Paul Smith, Grenson boots to Mulberry bags.

Personally, I'm not huge on utilitarian clothing or conforming to the mantra of function over form. Don't get me wrong, I embraced the workwear trend as wholeheartedly as the next man donning boots and denim shirts pretty regularly, but as a rule I'm not hunting for the latest fabric finish that'll keep me insulated/dry/bulletproof etc. etc. That said, Stone Island are offering pieces that seem to strike the balance between the two, providing a potential purchase that seems practical yet stops short of un-pretty.

A suitable alternative to the now ubiquitous Barbour, the below Belstaff waxed jacket was also a great find. The quilted texturing, chocolate hue and buckle detail at the collar combine to just win my favour over the Royal Family's firm favourite.

But it was the introduction to the coming season's eveningwear that had me shaking ever so slightly like a crack addict in desperate need of a speedy fix, only the fuss was over...er...blazers in place of narcotics.

^ D&G navy blazer

^ Paul Smith black velvet blazer

The AW selection was also strong on footwear with brogues prevailing as undisputed shoe of the season and I can't really complain.

^ An impressive array of brogues. Considering securing a mahogany pair for myself.

^ Really beautiful Grenson suede and leather boots with brogue detailing.

^ More well-crafted bags than you can shake a stick at.

Now, time to call this weather-realted whining to a halt and enjoy what's left of Summer '10. Couldn't do any harm to just talk about attire for the wetter, windier months, though - what's on your wishlist?

7 For All Mankind: The Trouser Story

Chic-Chic — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:00:21 +0000

7 For All Mankind used to make a lot of trouser jeans before the skinny jeans trend took a hold of the denim market. For this season, Holiday 2010, they are re releasing lots of trouser jeans in many washes and different cuts! They have brought some of their older best selling styles back like the Dojo.

This new line of trousers has been named by 7 For All Mankind ‘The Trouser Story’. It makes a fresh change to see some trouser style jeans on the market right now! 7 For All Mankind say their trousers create a polished, tailored, lean line – all while keeping the comfortable flattering fit that is synonymous to the brand.

If you click this blog post you can see all of the new artwork sketches of the trousers. There are 7 images in total and I think the drawings are gorgeous! They should make all of their images in art, I love it! Which style is your favourite? I think the Dojo is the cutest!

Halle Berry in Rockstar

Chic-Chic — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:40:33 +0000

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry were spotted traveling to South Africa together. Our other blogger, Jonathan noticed that Halle was wearing her Rockstar Cargos again. The former couple was spotted with Nahla as they made their way through the LAX Airport terminal. Halle is getting ready to work on a new movie called “Dark Tide” and needed Gabriel along if she wanted to take Nahla during the shoot.

The insider previously told press, “Halle and Gabriel are being civil and making it work purely for the sake of Nahla. Gabriel is moving to South Africa because they couldn’t work out who should have custody of Nahla while Halle was working there.” The source added, “In the end they decided it would work best if Gabriel went with her and then they could both be with Nahla. There’s no chance of them getting back together though, it is definitely over between them. All they are concerned about now is the welfare of their daughter. They both love her more than anything and will do all they can to keep her happy.” Why can’t more parents be like that?! But I do wonder what will happen once either of them find a new significant other… You can buy these cargos here.

SO, in order to enter simply follow me on Twitter if you're not already doing so (@malemode) and send your name to buggedout at fullcircleuk.com, with 'Male-Mode.com' in the subject line.
