Under $100 G by GUESS Black Jackets http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/under-100-g-by-guess-black-jackets/ http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/under-100-g-by-guess-black-jackets/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:05:42 +0000 Dexie Wharton http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/?p=6049 Post from: She Knows Best

Genuine leather jackets are nice to have and invest in but sometimes it’s also ok to go faux leather or what the fashion industry call, “pleather”. They are more affordable and you’re also helping the eco lifestyle. G by GUESS have a few pleather black jackets that are stylish, functional and under $100 each.

G-by-GUESS-broadway-hooded-jacket

This is a Broadway Hooded Jacket that’s only $99.50. It’s a combination of a comfortable hoodie and a jacket. It also features rib knit waist and hem. There are enough lined pockets to keep the hands warm and cozy.

G-by-GUESS-Epiphany-jacket

This one is called Epiphany Jacket. Details include knit collar that zips all the way up, distressed pleather texture, 2 front slip pockets, 2 front zip pockets, and the rib knit waist and hel as well. This is also prized at $99.50.

G-by-GUESS-choco-jacket

And last but not the least and definitely my favorite among the three is this Choco Jacket. This bomber pleather jacket looks gorgeous if I say so myself. Details include front zipper with brass hardwares, pockets on the chest as well as the hips, plaid lining and the faux fur collar to keep the neck warm and cozy. The cuffs and hem are stretched knit to complete the look. This is also priced at $99.50.

I think from those 3 faux leather jackets, you’re bound to find one that suits your personality and mood.

The Tie Or Die Contest Winner Is.. http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/the-tie-or-die-contest-winner-is/ http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/the-tie-or-die-contest-winner-is/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:18:40 +0000 Dexie Wharton http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/?p=6041 Post from: She Knows Best

Remember the Tie or Die contest between two friends/co-worker for the whole month of October that I told you about a few weeks ago? Well, the winner has been announced and it is…

tieordie-ryan3

…Ryan Brown. Total score was : Jon Fruman won 8 days while Ryan Brown won 14 days.
tieordie-ryan2

tieordie-ryan1

Ryan Brown was my pick from the beginning. He was more creative in incorporating other items in his outfits with the neckties. Items like blazers, cardigans, vests, hats, and even umbrellas. Not to mention the humorous accessories and poses which made me laughed out loud every time I visited the site.

tieordie-jon1

To Jon’s credit, he kicked it up a notch near the end. I loved his Halloween costume. I thought that was very clever and apropos for the contest.

The contest was all friendly fun and games of course. I think Jon and Ryan had a great time but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t wear ties for a while. Or maybe I’m wrong. I’m curious what they’re going to think of next.

Congratulations Ryan.

Marine Layer Shirts http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/marine-layer-shirts/ http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/marine-layer-shirts/#comments Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:01:47 +0000 Dexie Wharton http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/?p=6036 Post from: She Knows Best

You love the your favorite brands of Polo Shirts, or T-Shirts like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, just to name a couple. Here is another new brand that you might want to take a look at. It’s called Marine Layer. It’s not new actually. It has been around for a while. But, they just launched a new collection of eco-friendly casual shirts and a spanking brand new e-commerce site for an online store.

marine-layer-shirts

Marine Layer Stack

The eco-friendly shirts are interestingly sized as “in-between”. That means it’s not quite small or medium. Just Smedium or Marge for in between medium and Large. And the Larger size and regular sizes of S, M. L, XL. If you don’t find your size then I don’t know how else to help you buddy. Maybe you’re just not quite sure yet. Marine Layer wil solve that problem with the help of a fit finder application which is also launched along with the website. Enter your height and weight and the application will determine the right size for you.

Marine Layer shirts are custom made from eco-friendly fabric. They are knit in Los Angeles and then cut and sewn by a professional garment maker in San Francisco, then dyed and shrink-washed multiple times in a small dye house in Oakland. Quite a special way in making the shirts, no? The shirts are a special blend of Pima Cotton and Micro Modal which are natural wood fibers from Beech Wood chips. The prices are quite affordable ranging from $20 to $60. You can find all of the at MarineLayer.com.

Introducing Don Dante Clothing http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/introducing-don-dante-clothing/ http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/introducing-don-dante-clothing/#comments Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:36:24 +0000 Dexie Wharton http://www.splendicity.com/sheknowsbest/?p=6024 Post from: She Knows Best

If you are a fan of the bold tattoo designs from Ed Hardy brand, let me introduce to Dong Dante Clothing. The graphics could rival any Ed Hardy shirt anytime. Although, I might be favoring Don Dante shirts now coz the colors and designs are more cohesive and perfectly blended. See for yourself.

don-dante-clothing-shirt1

don-dante-clothing-shirt3

don-dante--clothing-shirt3

The colors are bold, the graffiti styling is eye-catching but it’s not as explosive. It’s easier to take. You know what I mean? The color schemes are blending nicely. I’m not surprised at all since Don Date works with the best urban artists out there. Currently, he’s collaborating with Darren Brass and Cope 2. You might have seen Brass in that very popular TLC show. Miami Ink. Cope 2 on the other hand is huge among the new generation of street artists in New York City. His mark has been prominent in various TV, apparel and video games. He even made it into the cover of Newsweek Magazine.

Back to the shirts, I keep talking about the colors and blending of the designs coz as bold as they are, they’re perfect to wear underneath blazers or sportcoats. Just in time for Fall Fashion. Dress up any of these shirt, paired with jeans and a blazer. A nice outfit to wear on a night out in town or casual parties you’ll be attending this holidays or any time of the year for that matter. Blazer or not, the shirts are kick-ass, if I say so myself.

Don Dante Clothing is currently sold at emoda.com. Check out other designs at Don Dante Clothing website.

If you didn’t know, James Franco happens to be the face of Gucci by Gucci perfume. Can you believe he actually mispronounced “Gucci”. He said it as “Gooky” or “Gucky” and even “Goo-Ssi.”

james-franco-allstarphotos144950-JAMES-FRANCO

There’s a video to prove it if you don’t believe me. Actually, it’s a spoof by James Franco with the help of Funny Or Die. Watch it after the fold…

“Gooky by Gooky”, hehehe. The first part was really hilarious. The middle was good too. Until the near end where the whole thing just went ridiculous. They tried to make the video too long. Overall, it was funny. I appreciate celebrities who can laugh and make fun of themselves. Plus, James Franco is one cool dude and a hottie at that, heh.
