colored chinos…hot.

I was just at a wedding this past weekend and my friend had on a pair of lavender chinos that we just unbelieveabley amazing.  With details of inner beauty lining, they were immaculate.

My friend said it fits him really well because there is room for junk in your trunk.  So those of you with those bigger bunz, try these out!

70 degrees in chicago.

I hear it’s going to get to 70 again this weekend, so why not get a couple new things for your wardrobe. I just re-watched Something Borrowed for the 5th time this weekend and I just remember this one simple outfit of the hot guy in the Hamptons.  A cream chunky shawl sweater with beautiful brown buttons, a simple grey crewneck tee paired with great fitting khaki chinos and flip flops.  I mean holy make me melt.  Comfy, Preppy, Casual, Studly.

I work for Sears Corporate and when I’m in the stores I walk by the Lands End Canvas area all the time and stare at the men’s clothing.  There are definitely some hot numbers there. 

See some of my favorites below:

sweaters

shirts

french terry

chinos

Visit Sears.com and click on Lands End then on the Lands End Canvas button.

the babes come out.

It’s 80 degrees in Chicago, and the babes really start hitting the streets.  Boys in t-shirts, girls in shorts, everyone is pale but who cares!  Let’s party.

It was amazing to break out the white jeans and summer tops, see boys in their boat shoes and shorts (yummy), and biceps everywhere.

So why not break out my Spring favorites from Jcrew, my favorite men’s shopping spot.

shirts - Wear with chino shorts, jeans, and if you are an ultimate style guy, white pants.

 

 

tees - Wear with shorts or jeans.  You must own a white v-neck tee, and make sure that these tees aren’t too big on you.  Show us your biceps but please do not make a it a muscle d-bag tee.

 

 

 

 

bottoms - shorts, jeans, chinos, show us your bunzzzz.

 

 

 

 

 shoes - wear the right shoe, this could make or break your outfit.

 

pure genius.

So, I have a friend, Brie, who has had impeccable style since the moment I saw her at age 14 wearing her energie jeans, white platform steve madden shoes, a hot pink michael star, topped off with sparkley beaded bracelets and her kate spade messenger bag.  She was bound to be in the world of fashion.  She started an upscale consignment business with her good friend, Lindsay.

Luxury Garage Sale.

I have been to several of their events and never have I walked away empty handed.  From my sparkle giuseppe zanotti flats, a gold cc skye bangle, a vintage skull scarf, a gold chunky chain necklace, and my most recent purchase of a gold koret whistle necklace at Dose Market this past weekend.

I drool the moment I walk up to their accessory table.  I want everything!!!  I have not only been successful in buying from LGS, but also being a seller.  Several of my items have been sold by LGS as well. Why not make some money while cleaning out your closet!

You don’t have to wait for an event to buy fabulous items.  Check out their website and blog below to get your taste of LGS!

seriously??

Nothing is worse than seeing a man rolling around this bag at work. 

Like, are you serious?  You can’t carry a shoulder bag because you are that lazy?  Is your laptop really that heavy, you wimp?  Do you have that many papers and binders you must roll around because you are so important?  Aren’t you living in 2012 where everything is easily accessible on your laptop and you don’t have to print that many papers out anymore?

Buy a shoulder bag, guys.  Please.  If I ever see any of you rolling this around in the city or at an office, I will kick you in the shins. 

I think the guys that roll these things around look like the biggest idiots.  Make the right choice and PICK IT UP YOU SALLY.

just as bad as abercrombie.

I was at Fireplace Inn Saturday with tons of friends having a great time catching up on some jokes (do you have a lighter?) and day drinking.

I spotted a guy.  Cute face.  Then I saw his treacherous outfit (I wish I took a picture).

Pink and navy striped polo shirt with a black belt, light wash jeans that were a bit too short, black shoes, and a MILLER LITE baseball hat.

Come on.  Why are you wearing a beer hat?  You just ruined everything about your appearance with that hat.  Are you in college?  What makes you think that looks good?  I’m so confused.  I don’t understand it.  So he walked out of the house thinking he nailed his outfit and thought it was extra cool with a Miller Lite hat? 

Don’t wear Beer paraphernalia.  It’s like wearing a t-shirt that says “ABERCROMBIE” on it.  Just don’t do it.  Maybe it’s cool in college or highschool, not sure what the kids are doing these days, but it’s not cool when you are almost 30.

it kept going on!

thursday

1:40pm - Him: Buenos Tardes

9 hours later…

10:10pm - Him: PS that means good afternoon

Oh really??? Thanks.

friday

11:30am - phone call, he did leave a message!

“Hey ___, it’s ____.  Give me a call, thanks.”

4:30pm - Him: Should I be looking for a new date for Saturday??

Oh you mean the date you asked her out on 2 weeks ago on your first date and wouldn’t tell her what the date was cuz you think you are that cool?

At this point I am now talking to this friend of mine where I am literally screaming at every text that she copies and pastes to me.  Yes, girls do this.   

4:45pm - Her: Hey sorry don’t think it’s gonna work out

4:45pm - Him: Saturday nite or us hanging out in general?

I’m YELLING AND LAUGHING. 

4:46pm - Her: In general sorry.

4:48pm - Him: I know we only hung out once but do you care to elaborate?

IS HE JOKING????? Listen to what you are saying, “I know we only hung out once” RIGHT!  So what’s there to elaborate on?  Like you are psycho and annoying and a weirdo and need to calm down on the stalking.  That’s why. 

5:38pm - Him:  I prob know why you are not interested.  I think a 2 min convo to clairfy a few things would help

OHHHHH MYYYYYY GODDDDDDD.  You think you know why she’s not interested?  What could you possibly think?  Why do you keep going on with this when she said she’s not interested.  Leave it alone!  You want a 2 minute conversation about this?  You don’t feel awkward that you just got rejected and you want to discuss it, whyyyyyyy?
