I’ve seen a lot of fashion street snap shots this recently over the web and I neither see some celebrities styling these days. I think, denim shirts are the one trends for the summer season for both men and girls. Because yeah! fashion forward peeps are keeps on wearing it and I must say it can really gives this summer accents as you wears one of it, denim shirts. I actually, wanted myself to wear this since last December 2012 because I’ve seen some Kpop celebrities wearing it already and it look so cool to them. And I think it so cool too to have this vintage styling quite some times though I prefer myself to wear some hippy pieces. However, due with some instances like the kind of weather we’ll be having that time I really cant consider this find and rock myself to it. But now, I’ll be pushing myself more to have the piece and have my post up about it that may serve as my outfit post here.

I actually working with some brands now and they’ve asked me already if I can review their some denim shirts and vest. And have my reviews done for them here, more details soon regarding this. So – please stay tuned for it. Thank you so much and I’ll be posting some recent men’s fashion collection showroom photos.

W2beauty.com: Beauty at Your Fingertips

by admin

Nowadays, it’s not just women who are conscious with the way they look especially their skin. More men are taking care of their appearance by buying the best hair, body and skin care products available in the market. I believe that the secret to being healthy and having a good life doesn’t just lie in eating nutritious food or by exercising daily but by taking care of your outside appearance as well. This holistic approach likewise takes care of your well-being. Having said that, I sometimes look for online stores that sell high quality and yet affordable beauty products. I no longer wish to buy from the usual expensive brands but from other lesser known but equally effective brands.

I’m happy to have stumbled upon w2beauty.com, The Best Korean beauty shop. They sell skin, body, and hair care products as well as makeup from brands like Tony Moly, Etude House, Laneige, Skinfood, The Faceshop, Mamonde, Hera and many others. It’s great that they have a men’s category because a lot of online beauty stores only cater to women. Here you will find skin care, shaving and cleansing, and sun care products, makeup, and perfumes for the modern man. They have a wide selection of products but I was able to choose 5 that I would like to buy.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Fluid Toner (150 ml)

The Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Fluid Toner (150 ml) from Etude House is a multi-functional toner. It moisturizes men’s rough skin without the oily texture. It contains orchid with purifying effect, baobab fruit extract with its nickname of moisture tank, and collagen which is effective in making the skin firmer.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Moisture Cream (50 ml)

The Collagen Moistfull Homme Multi Moisture Cream (50 ml) from Etude House contains orchid which purifies the skin, baobab fruit extract for added moisture, and collagen for a more firm skin. This multi moisture cream works more effectively after thoroughly cleansing the skin and after applying toner.

Collagen Moistfull Homme Moisture Skin Mist (200 ml)

Another product on my wishlist is the Collagen Moistfull Homme Moisture Skin Mist (200 ml) also from Etude House. Great for men with dry skin, this gel type skin mist makes skin softer. It has orchid,  baobab extract, and collagen peptide.

Engine Program Style Engine Wax

The Engine Program Style Engine Wax from Etude House is available in 80 g. This gel hair wax makes hair stay in place longer. It also adds shine to any type of hair whether it’s short or curly.

Moment Styling Good Guy BB Cream in 50 ml

I would also like to buy Etude House’s Moment Styling Good Guy BB Cream in 50 ml. It’s a hydrating BB Cream for men that provides sheer coverage with a moisturizing, radiant finish to naturally even out skin tone. It provides UV protection and has whitening and anti-aging properties. It’s best for normal to dry skin.

Trends: Short Bridesmaid Dresses

A wedding is an important event for everyone involved. For the bride and groom, it marks the day where two people pair together for the rest of their lives. Their families are joined together as well through the act of marriage. The parents and grandparents of the bride and groom traditionally take a leading role when it comes to planning the wedding. Therefore, they want to see everything come together nice on the big day.

The groom has only a couple of big decisions to make before his wedding day. His first decision is choosing a tuxedo to wear at the altar. His second decision is to choose who his best man will be as well as his groomsmen. To guys, this is an informal process during which a few close friends are selected to join him to celebrate his big accomplishment.

Women have it a lot harder. There can be a lot of fighting and drama surrounding who the bridesmaids will be. Those who are selected want to look their best. If the bridesmaids are all wearing short bridesmaid dresses, they have to be designed in a classy manner that won’t outshine the bride on a day that is supposed to be all about her.

1.) Farah Vintage The Winchester Crew Knit – £85.00

2.) Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans – £110.00

3.) Barbour Thorn Shirt – £65.00

4.) Grenson Stanley Full Brogue – £200.00

5.) Laboratory Perfumes – £50.00

Browsing through the store, I saw some really great items such as the Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit, Edwin ED-39 Blue Watch Jeans, Barbour Thorn Shirt and a pair of Grenson Stanley Full Brogue all shown above. I’ve heard good things about Laboratory Perfumes too and I noticed Northern Threads stock it when I was perusing their site.

The Farah Vintage Winchester Crew Knit is a stylish crew neck knit which has a thick ribbing on the cuffs, hem, and neck and an insulating knitted material to provide warmth. They work well with those Edwin ED-39 jeans – I’m a big fan of Edwin and particularly the ed-39 style; versatile, stylish and they can literally be worn with anything, anywhere.This straight legged pair is 100% cotton, has a button fly, and has five pockets. Every man should also have the Barbour Thorn Shirt either in blue or white, this stylish shirt has a button down collar, button cuffs, and button chest pocket. You will definitely look stylish if you are wearing this along with jeans and impeccable shoes. Which brings me to another pick of mine; Grenson Stanley Full Brogue shoes, one of Grenson’s eldest shoes. An elegant hand crafted brogue with wing tip, and double leather sole. Any guy will look classy and handsome when wearing these shoes.

As I mentioned I also browsed through the Laboratory Perfumes section and saw the Laboratory Samphire 100 ml. Eau De Toilette. “This brings together the scent of fresh jutiner berries, citrus oils and lavender for a modern scent” well suited for the modern man.

I’d certainly recommend you take a look for yourself.

However though, I occasionally put up some street snapshots where everyone’s is eye-ing about, it may also related in fashion, of course! like for example this “Streetsnaps: Wayne Chi Wai Lau With His Adidas Kicks” which gathered many peep’s attention by this guy named Wayne Chi Wai Lau who’s wearing an dope kicks from the brand Adidas. I actually got these images over the site hypebeast.com – where all the brands and  newly fashion finds are listed.

Usually, fashion brands and labels lookbook photos are serving as an guide on how we can style ourselves through the brands newly releases pieces. However though, these passed seasons of these sorted brands collections. It seems that lookbook released photos are likely like a magazine photos instead of showing on how we can mix and matches things as we got fond having a certain brand’s pieces. Look at these photos from the Aloha Army 2014 Spring/Summer Lookbook, what you can say about the photos? Photography wise, these were quality and had really a great shots but on the styling though. I think these were way far on what am expecting it as I’ve heard an lookbook released.

Anyway, I might maybe outdated with this. Because this might be also the trend ones when brands having an lookbook because seems everyone having this kind of lookbook now than the usual I knew before. but do fairness with Aloha Army, they really has a great finds on their stores. You can visit them as the nearest mall where you resides or better yet to check them out online. Also, I would like to let you know that sterling silver jewelry is the one hip today when it comes with fashion accessories. Grab yourself one today!

I’ve been swamped with work this recently that made me quite lazy then to update this blog consistently,everyday. Luckily though, I still have spare time,3 hours, today which leads me by updating this blog, istarblog.com, for this collaborative shoes which came by the 2 giant brands namely Concepts & New Balance. I am actually a fan of New balance since then because their each designs shoes are really dope and versatile that we can be wear off in both pants and shorts. I used to see some celebrities too, rocking themselves on this shoes as for their statements this passed summer season. I dunno if the brand,New Balance, is cooking another swag designs that we could rock on with this coming fall and winter seasons. Let’s see on how they work these coming months ahead. No worries! I will update you once Ive heard they were about to release new New Balance shoes that may includes for their fall and winter collection 2013.

I simply liked this shoes Concepts x New Balance 998 “C-Note”. Because the colors uses to it are awesomely blended and the trademark logo of New Balance , the letter N, are still the accentual of it. Regarding on the pricing range? as of now, the other brands,Concepts & New Balance, haven’t yet released any further details about this, however though, they might sell this by next months due of the demand and by then , I think so, we can have the full information about this collaboration.
