Stylish Man Project : Godfried Addae

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:53:01 +0000

A brave yet very stylish She Knows Best reader took my Stylish Man Project challenge and has given me permission to feature him today. Before I show you Godfried’s stylish looks, let me reintroduce you to the Stylish Man Project.

It is an open invitation to all Men who would like to be featured here at She Knows Best showcasing their stylish looks. Send me (dexie.wharton@b5media.com) a picture of yourself and a brief description of what you are wearing and what occasion you wore it to. Read more all about this project that I started back in 2007 here.

Now, let’s see what Godfried is weearing.

This first look, Godfried went to a Fashion pre party and here’s the breakdown of what he’s wearing :

Shoes – Steve Madden
Jeans – Rock and Republic
White shirt – Express Men
Buttoned vest – Express Men
Blazer – Express Men
Pocket Square – Nordstroms
Glasses – Dolce and Gabanna

My first impression? Godfried is wearing a blue pocket square. I love it. I’ve noticed that only a few Men are rocking that accessory. When they do, it’s mostly on formal days. Godfried is sporting a casual event wear and I give him props for incorporating that pocket square into it. Great job!

In this second look, Godfried is celebrating his birthday :

Jeans – Rock and Republic
White – Shirt Express Men
Buttoned Vest – Express Men
Black Velvet Blazer – Express Men
White pocket square – Nordstroms
Glasses – Prada
Tie Clip – Kenneth Cole
Black Narrow tie – Calvin Klein

Again with the pocket squares but in white this time around. He’s wearing a velvet blazer too. You gotta give major props to a man who can rock a velvet blazer.

I’m going to assume that Godfried bought those pocket squares in different colors. A practice that any shopaholics out there know it must be done when deals are right in front of him/her .

Pocket squares may seem so insignificant to some people but in Fashion, details are very important. Anyone is capable of looking great. The minute details that you add to your daily looks will show your personality and fashion identity. So never underestimate details like pocket squares.

Thanks to Godfried Addae for letting me feature him here at She Knows Best. Now it’s your turn. Are you up for the Stylish Man Project?

GQ’s 25 Sexiest Women in Film

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:28:47 +0000

For the November issue of GQ, the latter compiled a list of 25 Sexiest Women In Film. Here it is :

Ursula Andress – Dr. No
Melanie Griffith – Something Wild
Nastassja Kinski – Paris, Texas
Ludivine Sagnier – Swimming Pool
Charlotte Rampling – The Night Porter
Faye Dunaway – Bonnie and Clyde
Eva Green – The Dreamers
Karen Allen – Animal House
Jean Seberg – Breathless
Lisa Bonet – Angel Heart
Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin – Don Juan ‘73
Lena Olin – The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Anna Karina – Band of Outsiders

The rest of the list after the fold……

Raquel Welch – 100 Rifles
Sienna Miller – Layer Cake
Michelle Pfeiffer – Scarface
Penelope Cruz – Blow
Linda Harrison (That Chick from ‘Planet of the Apes’) – Planet of the Apes
Julie Christie – Darling
Scarlett Johansson – Lost in Translation
Ali MacGraw – The Getaway
Jacqueline Bisset – The Deep
Halle Berry – Swordfish
Jessica Alba – Sin City
Catherine Deneuve – Belle de Jour
Sophia Loren – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Ummm, there’s actually 26 actress on the list? Yes. Would you argue about Sophia Loren’s inclusion? Of course not. I do question Sienna Miller though, heh. Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider or Mr and Mrs Smith should’ve been added. It’s a sin to make a list of 25 Women, whatever it is and not have Angelina Jolie but have Sienna Miller in it. That’s preposterous GQ.

What do you think of the list? Who should and shouldn’t be on GQ’s 25 Sexiest Women In Film list?

How To Be A Romantic Blogger

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 23:52:04 +0000

If you’re a blogger, like everyone online is pretty much, then you have an online outlet to show how romantic you are to your wife/gf on her birthday or your anniversary. So here’s a page from my husband’s book of romantic tips that you guys might be interested in on how to be a romantic blogger.

Wake up at 2:30am
Turn your computer on
Login to your Wordpress/Blogger/MovableType account
Search Google for a “happy birthday” image
Save the img to a folder, then upload to the Wordpress/Blogger/MovableType
Type a “birthday greeting” entry post to your wife/gf
Don’t forget to add how a wonderful wife she is
Attach the image to the post
Shamelessly plug her own blogs in the post
Open PSP, create an animated gif saying “I love you _____, Happy Birthday”
Upload the animated gif to Wordpress/Blogger/MovableType and attach it at the bottom of the post
Go back to sleep
When your wife wakes up, silently wait for her to discover the Birthday post you wrote on your blog.

There you go. Now of course this will only work if your wife is also a blogger and she happens to have a feed of your blogs on her personal blog. That’s how I discovered my birthday greetings. He was wondering how long I’d find it but he didn’t know I have a widget box in my sidebar showing his blog’s feeds. You know, I try to pimp his blogs out as much as I can .

If she’s not a blogger but still likes to go online, You can still do this by making a screensaver. When she turns the computer on, she’ll see it right away. Isn’t that romantic? In this day and age of computer and blogging, it sure is . Kinda cheesy but definitely romantic.

Happy New Year!!
