Played around with a new setup for our girl Halle – clearly, we had to step in as models (oh, if we must). Here’s what we got:

And here’s the application in full effect:

A prime example of practice making perfect. HOLLA!!!!

custom menswear for the masses

Okay, fine, we’re in a state of money consciousness. We all know it, all feel it, but who’s to say that should stop us from having that special “MMMmmmm” that comes with a custom-made garment? Even the financially challenged deserve to feel famous every now and again, right? Well, for the man who loves a little extra TLC in his tailoring without the treacherous tab, we give you: www.mysuitny.com. You can build your very own custom suit from their website (fabric, lining, cut and all), and in two weeks feel like that extra special VIP we know you can be!

Please and thank you, Ms. Braxton – welcome back!

Far be it from the days of “Unbreak My Heart” and “Another Sad Love Song” when Toni Braxton busted onto the music scene.  Cut to almost 15 years later, and not only does she look like she’s still 23, but she is giving us some major summertime pop hits!  We say “Well Done!”, Toni and here’s to another decade of silky, rich chest tones!

STYLE: Come all ye neutrals, plated and Star Wars-ish…

It’s been a hot minute since a designer has splashed onto the scene and made the masses (including us) give a “what what” on the runway.  Aside from making neutral tones live like a technicolor futuristic’s dream, Canadian designer Todd Lynn is boldly taking jacket silhouettes (metallic shoulder plates? – um, yes please!), ornamental fringes and draping to a rather impressive place.

And in case you didn’t believe us that Todd is turning heads, just ask Janet, Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty…

Be sure to check out the full Todd Lynn Collection.

dirty sugar Appears in Time Out New York Kids!

One of our very own inner-circles, the illuminating Ms. Joanie Leeds, found time away from touring in Turkey to pass along an article that popped up in TONY Kids. Besides her sparkling review, we know her to be a real-life gem – Kudos, girl!
