So today I wanted to profile Ekqualyte, a line of men’s clothing started by one of our Male Fashion Bombers, Manny from LA:

Made with the urban gentleman in mind, the line features bow ties, ties, hoodies, and t-shirts in a flurry of funky patterns and designs:

With t-shirts starting at $25 and bow ties averaging at $40, you won’t break the bank to look fly:

This week’s almost done, Fashion Bombers.  But we had to give you a little something to get the weekend started in the right direction.  A bevy of stars came out this week for movie premieres and award shows, dressed to the nines undoubtedly.

My faves this week?  Well, Nia Long and Tamera Mowry look nothing short of stunning.  They chose the right colors for their skin tone, and their makeup looks so natural.  Mychael Knight (designer from Project Runway MANY seasons ago), looks dapper in his gray suit.  I would’ve never thought to pair the suit with a white shoe, and it actually works!  May have to try it out one day.

Who rocked it this week for you?

Designed by flawless style architect Alber Elbaz, the collection will launch November 20th in North America and on November 23rd in the rest of the world. The col­lection of both womenswear and menswear will be revealed to the world on November 2, just three weeks before the clothes hit the store. About the collection, Elbaz says, “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”


Y’all, I LOVE Lanvin. Alber Elbaz makes the best draped dresses, adorned with pearls, ribbons, and bows. I’m afraid his beautiful vision won’t be translated well to the mass market with inferior fabric and less room for creativity. BUT I will definitely line up for this and throw some bows for a piece! With his regular priced dresses starting at $2,500, this will be the closest I can get to an Elbaz creation for a little bit.
Gotta get it where you can.
Are you guys as excited about this as I am??

The model and video vixen accented her haute heels with a long sleeve mini dress and her signature stud earrings.

A red heel is usually enough for me to swoon over a look, but this pair does absolutely nothing for me. Ditto for the plain thigh skimming dress.


What say you, Bombshells?

So since I’ve been back, I’ve been pampering myself a bit, ya know, getting fancy:)
In preparation for New York Fashion Week, I decided to treat myself to a Minx Mani/Pedi (if you don’t know what it is, check out this vintage post).

I was intrigued by the design options and the fact that it looks fresh for up to two weeks. But after a run in with a salon that didn’t have enough foils in stock, then paying close to $150 (!!!) at another salon, I knew there had to be another way to get the look without running all around town or draining my bank account.
Introducing Nail Rock (www.nailrock.com):


Created by artist Zoe Pocock, the fun nail foils are designed for budget fashionistas who want the look of Minx for less. The process is the same as Minx. You take an adhesive design, place it on your nail, then file it down. After letting the design set for one minute under a hair dryer, you’re done!


They’ll be available soon at Asos and Topshop. Find more information at www.nailrock.com and on Nail Rock’s Facebook Page.

Until I can try Nail Rock out for myself, I’ll have to be happy with my Minx:

What do you think?
