Prom Do!

4/29/2019

 
Prom season is here! Hair guru Tony Odisho has a cute and easy updo tutorial for moms and dads to create for their little princesses. All you’ll need is Odisho’s dry shampoo, flexible hairspray, strong hairspray and an infrared curling iron.

Let’s ‘do this!
​
Picture

On dry hair, apply Ostia Collection Dry Shampoo. This will help add some texture. Plus the formula is talc-free, so it leaves zero residue! Apply Flexible Hairspray. This acts as a heat protectant and it offers a buildable hold that’s perfect for updos.

Using the Ostia Collection Infrared Curling Iron, create soft curls for added texture and volume in the updo. Tease hair at the crown of the head to create even more volume. Lightly brush out hair afterwards.
​
Picture

Pin into a bouffant, leaving plenty of face-framing pieces in front.
​
Picture

Take a piece of hair from the right side and twist it slightly, then pull it across the head, beneath the bouffant. Pin into place.
​
Picture

Repeat the previous step, this time going from left to right.
​
Picture

This style can be worn to prom as is or with the following steps you can create an updo!
​
Picture

To turn this into an updo, repeat the last step listed, going piece by piece.
​
Picture

Finish pinning everything into place, then spray with Ostia Collection Strong Hairspray to hold the style while you dance the night away.
​
Picture

And that’s it! It’s an easy yet elegant updo, perfect for prom.​

Hatter Up

4/24/2019

 
Dudes and baseball hats. They go hand-in-hand. Or is that hat in hand? If your baseball hat game is out of control and your significant other is threatening to spark joy by offing your stuff, then you best invest in Canopy Hats. This company is changing the baseball hat game, and hats in general.

Instead of 20 hats, you can purchase one hat and add your choice of interchangeable patches. 
​
Picture

NOTE: Ladies, you can baseball patch-switch, too. 

Picture

ASIDE: An apparently, both look forlorn...

Anywho, tres chic.

Canopy is currently funding their magic hat project. But now’s the time to take advantage of limited early-bird specials. For $29, get a hat and three patches. Choose from baseball hats, trucker hats, dad hats, and flat brims.

Now that the hat clutter has been “capped”, what about the socks-all-over-the-floor dilemma?

Good Vibes

4/22/2019

 
Picture

Clothing that makes you feel good about yourself? Yes! Clothing that is mindful of the environment? Yes, yes!

Vibrate Higher is on a mission to elevate others all over the world while respecting Mother Earth. The company uses eco-fabrics, water-based ink on shirts, and limits use of plastic and non-biodegradable materials on their products. If plastic must be used, it’s recycled.

And, their stuff is cool!
​
Picture

While Vibrate Higher will shake some more cash out of your pocket than other brands, the higher quality is worth it. Whether you’re looking for business-casual cool, the perfect workout motivation, or hangin’ with the brahs, Vibrate Higher gets it done.

Picture

​Hey, we’ll take any type of good vibes. Even those that don’t require batteries…

Mothersbra

4/17/2019

 
Ladies—stop throwing your worn-out bras in the trash. Recycle them! Ninety-five percent of textiles—even if they’re worn out or torn, can be recycled. But only 15% are donated/recycled. That’s a lot of old boob holders in landfills!

Bra brand Harper Wilde has pledged to help recycle 5,000 bras to celebrate Earth Day 2019 (April 22nd). That means YOU need to step-up and do your part, too. Women are encouraged to share their “wilde” recycling experience on social media with the use of the hashtag #RecycleBra.

Another way Harper Wilde is celebrating its initiative is its launch of the Tough as a Mother bra. 
​
Picture

The limited-edition sky blue bra with green embroidery and earth patch retails for $50, and serves as a subtle reminder to respect Mother Earth.

Cool. But does this mean that women wearing this bra will be walking around without shirts? Because we want to be reminded to respect Mother Earth, too.

I'll Be Back

4/15/2019

 
Of course we had to get all “pun-tastic” when you name a boot “Terminator”.

Picture

You might need some of Ah-nold’s benjamins to afford the $556 price tag. Ritch Erani NYFC missed the mark in our opinion. We might be more into these boots if we could open up the clear heel and put cool stuff inside it. Like Skittles. Or vodka. Or a goldfish in water.

Goggliy Eyes

4/10/2019

 
Time to step-up your poolside fashion game with Giggly Goggles. Don’t wear plain, boring goggles. Wear something that’s fun and showcases your personality! Men, women, and children can all get those admiring looks with these beyond-functional eye protectors.
​
Picture

The uniquely patented design allows for easy on and off—no need for adjustment. Plus, the neoprene and rubber design offers great traction without pulling your hair or hurting the bridge of your nose. And most importantly, your peepers are protected from UV rays and water intrusion.

We need a pair. Yes, need. Our rational is this: We’re sporting a super cool pair of goggles, therefore, everyone’s looking at them instead of our six-pack of flabs and tapioca thighs.
​
Picture

Be the superhero of the pool instead of the superloser with Giggly Goggles.

Friendly Footwear

4/8/2019

 
Gone are the days that cows and snakes and alligators are waking around naked for the sake of our fashion. (We know it doesn’t work this way. But please indulge our Disney mindset here.) That’s because footwear powerhouse Nina has launched a pretty sweet vegan shoe collection.

These intensely-hued foot bed sandals and espadrilles are comfortable and fashionable, and will make you feel like a hip, trendy 20-something—no matter what your true age may be.
​
Picture

Daybreaks are light and soft with memory foam padding, arch support, molded insoles, and flexible bottoms. So... fashionable and functional? Mind. Blown.

“daybreaks is designed for the way we live today,” said Flori Silverstain, Creative Director. “It’s the kind of shoe or sandal that a woman will keep at the front of her closet and slip into every day. This brand was created for the trendsetters and free spirits looking to be original—those who are not afraid to live life in full color!”
​
Picture

Not only do we dig the colors and the comfort, but the price is cool: from $39.95-$64.95. Buy two pairs and enjoy 20% off.

Now this is the vegan lifestyle we can get into!

Mercy Me

4/3/2019

 
When famous people wear stuff, some other people (with way less money and fame) want to wear that famous-people-stuff. Dudes are not immune to this desire.

If you want to walk with a little swag like you’re some baller, then you may want to crack open that wallet and buy this ensemble from Mercy & Loyal that famous-person Milo Manheim is wearing.
​
Picture

Layer the Classic Crew Tee ($60) under the Reverse Raglan Sweatshirt ($105) and throw on the Classic Blue Jeans ($155). A total cost of: $320.


What else could you buy for $320? A lot of booze and snacks. But… don’t you want that swag more?

Buyer beware. You may turn back into a height-challenged commoner with a beer gut when you take these duds off.

Champagne Wishes and Octopi Dreams...

4/1/2019

 
What’s in a name? Apparently, a lot! To us, Senreve is just a cool name. But it’s really so much more.

Senreve is derived from the French words for “sense” and “dream”. Of course. Pretentious and glorious in all its Frenchy nature. This handbag brand was built on, and we quote:

“The coexistence of dichotomies: everyday and fantasy, tradition and innovation, design and versatility—creating an elevated experience that defines trade-offs. We believe women are multifaceted and can have it all—no compromise necessary.”

Oh, snap!

So these handbags will make us feel all superhero-y?​
Picture
Looks like a streamlined fanny pack, if you ask us unrefined Americans. 
Senreve also has a penchant for the puss—octopus. And we quote again:
 
“The octopus symbolizes diversity, intelligence, insight, complexity, vision, and versatility—characteristics that remind us of today’s woman. Like octopi, women are simultaneously juggling many roles, identities, and responsibilities.

We can't take all the symbolism!

We actually do get the whole octopi thing. Because it would cost eight arms and legs to afford this… fashion. We’ll stick to Charming Charlie and Kohl’s.
