Steve and Barry’s Haulage For The Hubs

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 15:10:55 +0000

My husband didn’t just buy the $15 Starbury sneakers when we stopped at a Steve and Barry’s store from our road trip vacation. He also found some other goodies for himself like novelty shirts and one pair of chino shorts. Steve and Barry’s really do have nice deals on Men’s shorts but most of them were pleated on the front and some have cords on the waist. My husband is particularly picky when it comes to shorts designs which is good. He knows what looks good on him and he knows what he likes. I’ve trained him well, *ahem*, which makes our shopping ventures quite enjoyable .

FYI, my husband was in the Marines when I met him in California. He served 4 years I think. He got out the year after we got married because we just had a baby and he didn’t want to be sent away overseas coz it meant leaving me all alone with a new baby. So he re-enlisted with the Army..LOL. Anyhooo, it’s true when they say “Once A Marine, Always A Marine”. Serving 8 years in the Army never stopped him from being a part of Semper Fi. So when he saw the military shirts from Steve and Barry’s he searched for the Marines as well. He was happy to have found the red one. And it was only $8.98. HOORAH! He also picked the red stripes polo shirt for the same price.

Out of all the Buy 2 For $20 shorts the store has right now, my husband only picked this $12.98 Chino shorts coz like I intimated above, the shorts front pleats and cords weren’t his style.

Hollywood Stylish Man : Wentworth Miller

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:35:35 +0000

Prison Break star Wentworth Miller wearing a white long sleeves dress shirt which he decided to roll up and cuff for about 3/4 sleeves, light wash denim jeans and THE athletic shoes to have, the classic blue Chuck Taylor’s. Wenty, as I fondly call him is very casual on this get up. Very handsome I might add. Now I don’t know why he is doing this “hand on pockets, with one leg forward” pose but whatever, right? LOL. He was probably being playful with the media.On another note, I am going on vacation for a week so I hope you miss me. I was going to set up scheduled posts but I don’t feel right not responding right away to your comments. I’d rather let you all know I will be gone for a week. “See” you all in August

Hollwood Stylish Man : Justin Timberlake

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:57:36 +0000

Justin Timberlake is mostly associated with the Music biz but he’s done a couple of movies here and there, right? So I’m sure he owns a SAG card which qualifies him to be under the Hollywood Stylish Men category .

Basic white ringer tee, a grey plaid vest, and slightly distressed denim jeans. “Knowing” JT’s signature style, he’s probably wearing an athletic shoes to complete this look. A little bit of perfectly trimmed facial hairs, Jessica Biel’s main squeeze is looking mighty cute. But there is something wrong in these pictures. Can you see it?

HINTS : It’s an obvious part of this look but I didn’t mention it. IMO, a certain detail clashes with the grey plaid vest.

So, wanna take a guess?

The Stylish Man Project : Featuring William Lehman

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:00:52 +0000

INTRODUCTION: The Stylish Man Project
I have been thinking a lot about featuring “regular” Stylish Men here at SKB. I have the Hollywood Stylish Men category and I thought it is just fair to show off our hardworking fashionable and stylish husbands, boyfriends, even friends, respectively. Compare to the Male Celebrities, our loving husband/boyfriend do not have to pay overpriced stylists to look good. They have cultivated their own style through the years on their own or with the help of their equally stylish wife/girlfriend. So it’s high time we give them credit and let them know how much we appreciate the fact that they didn’t just roll off of bed, put on a pair of dirty jeans without even bothering to look themselves in the mirror before letting the world know they’ve arrived. This is our way of saying “thank-you” for not wearing too-low-rise baggy jeans to give attention to their boxers/whitey-tighties or worse, their butt cracks in public.

To kick off the new series here at She Knows Best which I aptly called The Stylish Man Project, meet our Stylish b5media Art guru, William Lehman. Much to his chagrined, his wife Rebecca proudly shows him off wearing a white crisp button down shirt over a dark-wash denim jeans. With his slightly tussled hair, no wonder Rebecca was just too happy to send in his pictures.

Picture after the jump.

Thanks Rebecca for sharing your hubby with us and much thanks to William for being such a good sport .
