The Boyfriend Look: Style and Comfort

Are you tired of high heels and dresses?  

Are you fed up with wearing stuffy business suits?

If you are a college student, are you looking for an easy, laid back look that is cute as well as comfortable?

Fashion and comfort often don't go hand in hand, but the current trend of women wearing men's clothes (boyfriend clothes) gives women the best of both worlds - style and comfort! Pulling this look together is simple, and you can either shop from your boyfriend's closet or at the men's section in the store. You'll need two basic items: mens shirts, hoodies and jeans!

See more of it HERE!

The best shirt for this look is a men's button down, white shirt that is a bit baggy, but not too loose. The jeans should be a bit baggy, but still hug your curves. If you don't want to actually borrow your boyfriend (or  husband's) clothes, but you still want to pull off this look, it is easy enough to do.

Casual Look

Boyfriend jeans are available for women at popular retailers.  They come in a variety of colors.  Choose the denim color that you like best, and for an edgier look, choose some with distressed patches or holes. For a casual look, pair the jeans with a nice tee shirt and sandals.

Dressier Look

For a dressier, more mature look, pair boyfriend jeans with a silky blouse by itself or underneath a blazer, or a tee shirt with a button down shirt over it. 

Keep in mind, the boyfriend look is usually casual and more suitable for a day out with friends or chasing the kids or running errands.  Doing tasks like that, it is best to be stylish and comfortable.

Another bonus of this look?  

Many men love it and find it cute, especially if their girlfriend is wearing their clothes.

Embrace the boyfriend look while it is popular. It isn't often that women can be stylish and comfortable. And this look is great for women from their teens to their 40s. If only all fashion could be suitable for all ages.

Calvin Klein Bold X-Ray Underwear Collection

The cold weather and heavy traffic around the Metro remind us all that Christmas is fast approaching. 

We make a list. We shop. 

But have you thought of including 'new underwear' on your list? 

We all know men should never neglect down there. When it comes to undies, if you can afford expensive ones it does pay off - nothing like wearing sandpaper around your butt! Bedroom attire offers so many foreplay gestures. You know what they say, a good underwear can certainly get you excited for all the right reasons! 

This is where the Calvin Klein Bold X-Ray Collection comes in. It has a modern, clean and offers vibrant colors and dramatic x-ray inspired designs. The striking slick-shine waistband includes a side-placed logo in front while the trunk itself boasts a contoured pouch and an x-ray image pattern. Well, what can I say! It is crucial, important, great gifts and offer a lot to all involved.

Brad Pitt For Chanel No. 5

Money. Fame. Good looks.

If there’s one guy who is envied by most men all over the world,
it’s Brad Pitt - one of the sexiest man alive.

Now, imagine a brand linked up to his name 

and mostly represented by women?

Three words: BIGGEST STATEMENT EVER!

On October 15, Chanel will unveil a new campaign including print ads and a short film shot by Anna Karenina director Joe Wright starring the man who lures all women worldwide and the most iconic actor of our time as the new face and hardbody of Chanel No. 5 — Brad Pitt!

In its 91 year history, a man will serve as the face of the Chanel No. 5 fragrance for women for the first time – which was represented by Catherine Deneuve, Ali MacGraw and Nicole Kidman before – after the scent created by designer Coco Chanel in 1921 and became famous from a Marilyn Monroe’s exchange with the press…

"What do you wear when you go to bed, Marilyn? 

Chanel No. 5." 

and through the 1950’s and beyond as the most distinctive high-society fragrance ever created.

“To keep a legend fresh, 
you always have to change its point of view… 

We think very much that the perfume is a seduction between a man, a woman and the perfume.” 

Chanel Fragrance and Beauty President Andrea d’Avack 

told Women’s Wear Daily of the new direction.

Brad Pitt gives us more of a seductive black-and-white imagery three videos sneak peek, than the full-on tease treatment in a teaser released this week,. The 7-second audio clip has him asking, “Are you going somewhere? Where?” and an accompanying image shows just the back of his head.

Take a look at the sneak peek videos 
of what $7 million looks like!

Too bad the full commercial debuts
on October 15 - 12.01am Paris time for total satisfaction 

but for sure, it will be worth the wait. 

Je vais lookout pour elle! :)

To be continued…

Hindi Ko Kinaya!

Would you dare wear this 

enormous-wind-turbine-flanking-the-catwalk bag? 

PLEASE EXPLAIN. (LOL!)

This Chanel hula hoop bag was first seen in Chanel Spring/Summer 2013 show at Paris Fashion Week and was the talk of the show's collection for the French fashion house. Sure Chanel's head designer and creative director Karl Lagerfeld is one of the best minds in the fashion industry, but has the weirdest and bizarre ideas too. And you might be surprised to what it's intended purpose. 

Photo: Derek Blasberg on Instagram

"It's for the beach. You need space for the beach towel. 

And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it." 

Lagerfeld told the Daily Telegraph post-show about the circular design. 

So, let's try to imagine one of the 10 most valuable luxury brand valued at $6.7 billion on the beach in the sand??? But really, who would want that? Lady Gaga, perhaps? :)  

But one thing is for sure, we'll be on the look for celebrities and socialites strutting this Chanel bag in The Hamptons, Anse Source d’Argent and St. Barts to the beach. 

Watch this Chanel supersize iconic bag on the runway... 

One word: WERQ! :)
