Cost of a Classic - The White Button Down

Email thisPosted Mar 18th 2009 at 11:00AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing

There are certain items every woman should have in her closet. Some seasons, it might be The Big Thing, and the next its popularity might wane, but she can feel confident that, within just a few years, it'll make its way back into her wardrobe rotation. The white button down shirt is definitely one of these items -- it works beneath sweaters for a preppy look, with a black pencil skirt for a sexy secretary vibe, and with jeans for a laid-back feel.

The J.Crew Collection puts a high price on preppy

We've always loved J.Crew for the fact that we can get quality, classic pieces at a decent price -- a dress isn't going to be cheap, but it won't look or feel cheap, either. Still, the price tags were never enough to dissuade us from perusing the racks. At least, not until now.

Traveling in style - High-end fashion luggage

We recently got a matching set of luggage. It's great -- it's red and easy to pick out when it comes out on the conveyor. Not the most stylish thing in the world, but it came with an enormous cosmetics case, so we're happy.

However, we started looking around at some of the seriously stylish luggage utilized by the rich and famous, and now we have bag envy. This Forbes article makes a really good point -- if you're carrying around expensive designer clothes, shouldn't you keep those clothes in a suitcase befitting them?

Bonobos belts- they're baaaaack!

We're sure you recall our pant crush on Bonobos. How could you not, the way we went on and on about the waist and the chimps and the ninjas and the stuff. It makes us all giddy just thinking about it. In fact, if we weren't doing real guy stuff, like sitting around in our boxers, drinking beer and watching the Olympics, we'd be wearing a pair right now. That's how we roll.

The guys at Bonobos like to look good, but they're over the whole tie thing. They decided to do something else with the silk- make it into belts. They are offering "premium tie silk wrapped around a durable backing, in a colorful array of styles and colors" in limited editions. That means buy quick.

Take the pain out of online shopping with FreeShipping.org

As gas prices rise, the appeal of online shopping grows. There's no driving to the mall, no driving from one store to another to compare prices -- all it takes is a computer, a credit card, and a few clicks of the mouse. There's just one drawback -- the shipping costs.

Think about it -- how often have you found a great deal (or just a great item) online, and gone through the checkout only to find that you're being charged $10 or so for shipping? For that amount, you could drive to the local branch of a store and buy it in person. So what's a savvy shopper to do?

Check out FreeShipping.org, of course! You can shop by brand or category through over 800 name-brand stores to find free shipping coupons. That means you can get free shipping from JCPenney, Macy's, Target, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Best Buy, and many more. So, no matter what you're shopping for, you're likely to find a way to get it shipped to you for free!

Bonobos: Pants for real guys as sold by ninjas

real guy

Noun

1. informal a man or boy
2. a man that doesn't fit into sizes designed for skinny teens or runway models, nor wants to; enjoys sports

Are you, or do you know, a real guy? If so, you most likely understand the frustration involved in finding stylish pants that fit. Even tougher is finding stylish pants that fit at an affordable price. It ain't easy.

Brian Spaly felt this pain, too. In fact, it bothered him so much that he decided to do something about it. He started making his own pants. He started making his own AWESOME pants.

Brian started to create pants for real guys. He developed a curved waist band to better accommodate the body, "a slight bootcut to flatter the figure, and less fabric in the thighs so they weren't so baggy and boxy."

Other real guys noticed. He started selling the pants out of his trunk to fellow college students and soon had professors investing in his promise. Bonobos was born.

Got your Daisy Dukes yet?

Email thisPosted Jul 3rd 2008 at 11:20AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans

According to fashion experts like Us Magazine, denim shorts are a must have item for summer.

This particular clothing item has always sort of baffled us. Shorts are great for hot weather, cool and easy to get around in. However, most denim is heavy, hot and sweaty, making them sort of an odd choice for the heat. But, we don't set the fashions, we just judge them.

There is a pretty broad range of shorts out there, in terms of length, wash and pocket action. Also in terms of price, ranging from under $20 all the way to $350. For shorts!

Pick your favorite pair in the gallery.

Nail Polish Summer School: What's your favorite brand of polish?

Email thisPosted Jun 3rd 2008 at 3:33PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics

When you shop for nail polish, are you a brand snob? Do you hit the cosmetic counters to purchase a $20 bottle, or are you more likely to scour the aisles of the local drugstore for a fabulous bargain polish?

We have an array of polishes -- some cheap, some a bit pricier -- and we truly believe they each have their strengths. Some of the pricier polishes have better staying power -- they don't fade or chip. However, some of our drugstore cheapy polishes are quick-dry, so when we're in a rush, there's no better option.

Are cheap shoes a thing of the past?

Email thisPosted Feb 17th 2008 at 11:22AM by Kristen Seymour

According to recent research conducted by Mintel, Payless might want to watch its back. The research indicates that over the next five years, the number of shoes purchased each year in the UK is expected to drop by seven percent, according to Manolo the Shoeblogger. And Manolo the Shoeblogger doesn't lie.

And why do I assume that means that cheap shoes are on their way out? Because one-third of the women questioned in the above poll said they now pay more for their shoes, which means that as they make their shoe purchases, they'll be looking for quality over quantity.

What woman do you know who has watched an episode of Sex and the City and not sighed over at least one beautiful pair of designer shoes? Years ago, only a select few were familiar with Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, and now there are middle-school girls fawning over these sexy heels with the same look in their eyes I had when ogling the members of New Kids on the Block.
