After perusing Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 RTW collection which features a trim and military-inspired looks, I am not surprised at all that trim silhouette is part of the top trends for Fall 2009. The streamlined, and structured look which exudes sexiness, clean, and “eye-on-the ball” kind of focus.

In the first chapter of Esquire’s The Handbook Of Style, the book delved on Suits. Before I share with you the details on The Perfect Suit, I would like to share the 6 Suit Terms That You Need To Know.

2. The Jigger : It’s the 1 …read more

I saw this picture of David Hasselhoff and I thought yah know, he’s not looking that bad. Except for that drunkard video of him downing a hamburger (not THAT was bad), The Hasselhoff seems to have bounced back and doing well. I hope so anyway.

It doesn’t matter to him how many times he has to wake-up early for another court appointment. Britney Spears pays for everything. As usual, HEH!
But yes, at least he’s buying nice suits for brief appearances here and there just to remind people, hey, K-Fed is still …read more
