When the ten day long auction launches, bidders can win one of eight amazing prize packages that range from a head to toe Dolce & Gabbana style consultation and outfit to a dinner for two and roundtrip airfare to Italy to a full Superbowl 2012 package.  Visit gq.com, justkeeplivin.org, or dolcegabbana.com/dg/perfumes for more information.

The fragrance itself, described as “the ultimate connoisseur’s scent”, was a concoction of pepper, grapefruit, lavender, vanilla, and patchouli (aka light, cool, and a little intimidating).  Former NY Times Scent Editor Chandler Burr walked us through each individual scent in a fun and compelling sniff class that broke it all down.

Who is this man exactly?  GQ Style Correspondent Brett Fahlgren told us that the character behind the scent was “a contemporary charmer, with a spirit of masculinity– a man who is courteous, refined, and cultivated” while the designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana remarked “he is worldly, successful, impeccable, but also boasts something else such as an innate elegance that distinguishes him from the rest”.

More exciting news at the event was the launch of Dolce & Gabbana’s new iPhone app, “Rules for the Modern Gentlman” which was written by Dylan Jones, editor of GQ UK.  The app was designed to cover tips on etiquette (like asking a girl on a date properly), style & grooming (like how to match your patterns), and quick solutions for gentlemanly predicaments (sort of like the how to eat a pork loin off a rib without disturbing the passed appetizers peace).  Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana told us, “The application is a perfect reflection of the scenarios that the Dolce&Gabbana man may find himself encountering; as a modern gentleman he can approach each situation with a sense of poise and confidence that distinguishes him from the rest.”

When looking for the campaign’s face, naturally, the brand turned to Hollywood ladies man: Matthew McConaughey.  The campaign video showed off McConaughey, the one gentleman himself, the morning after an epic celebration (very a la How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days). Still tuxedo clad, he strolls through the party ballroom doing exactly what we would all do after a grand night at a ball, staring into a beach sunset.  How dapper. We recommend the scent for the young and elegant set, the gentlemen of our generation.

1. Wear sunscreen to protect skin and hair. This is the most important type of sun protection you can get without staying indoors. If you are going to be poolside, at the beach or even spending a day at the park, it’s good to apply these products 30 minutes before exposure to the sun. Aveeno Positively Ageless Lotion For Face SPF 70 is great for the delicate skin on your face and Coppertone Oil Free Lotion SPF 30 Sunscreen is a classic that can be used everywhere. Keep those beautiful locks free of sun damage with Ouidad Sun Shield Sun & Sport Leave-In Spray or Phyto Phytoplage L’Originale Protective Beach Spray.

2. Use an everyday moisturizer with SPF. Just because you’re not in direct sunlight all day doesn’t mean the sun’s harmful rays aren’t reaching you. Wearing a moisturizer with SPF either alone or under makeup all the time will prevent even the smallest amounts of sunlight from infiltrating your skin. DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew™ and Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 are both great products.

3. Leave-in conditioner will help repair hair. If you’re heading to the pool or beach, things like chlorine, salt and sun can be tough on your mane. Combing a leave-in conditioner through hair will keep damage at bay. Turn to Hamadi Organics Shea Leave In Conditioner or Skin by Monica Olsen Leave in Conditioner with Moroccan Oil, available at Duane Reade, for maximum care and protection.

4. Don’t forget about your lips! The delicate skin on your lips is in need of protection more than you know, so don’t neglect that gorgeous pucker. Wearing lip balm with SPF every day will defend lips from harmful rays and keep them moisturized. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 and Benefit Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15 will keep your pout supple and prevent damage and dryness from the sun.

5. Don’t forget your sunglasses. Not only for the purpose of looking fabulous, a pair of good sunglasses can save both your eyes and the delicate skin around them. When out all day in the sun, make sure you have shades large enough to cover a substantial portion of your face. I’m sure you indies have your favorites, but Gucci Square-Framed Acetate Sunglasses, Victoria Beckham Round Nite Acetate Sunglasses and Yves St. Laurent Animal-Print Square-Frame Acetate Sunglasses are all great options if you’re looking to buy.

6. Don’t be afraid of hat hair. Wearing a hat on long days in the sun protects both your face and hair while adding a stylish touch to your outfit. Go for something with a wide brim that provides a good amount of coverage. I’m obsessed with the Kangol Braid Siren Hat, and this Missoni Striped Woven Sunhat is a cheery, colorful option.

Those four lovely lines written on a wall at the LOFT summer 2011 preview last night helped me forget about the treacherous New York City winter and took me to a hammock on the sandy shores somewhere between Westhampton and Montauk. The young and glamorous LOFT girl can feel carefree while looking elegant and polished in this collection full of airy knits, bold prints and big, beautiful jewelry. They think that summer dressing should be effortlessly beautiful, and I couldn’t agree more.

Photographer Olaf Wipperfurth appropriately titled this spread vertigo since any one who see this might pass out after seeing the tightest abs in the world. This beach surely makes the snow in NYC feel ten times worse.

It’s a bit cruel to dangle a summer shoe in front of you at this point in the season?but this one was too good to pass up.

The shoe is from a French brand called Rivieras, and it’s got just about everything we want in a beach shoe: jute soles, a mesh upper and a playfully colorful look. The French connection means you’ll be the only one at the beach who’s got them?provided you’re willing to brave the shoe size conversion.

2011, here we come.

One of my close friends Paulina came to visit from San Diego last weekend. Paulina happens to be a photographer and she was kind enough to shoot some pictures of me during her stay. I showed her around the city and we shot where ever we pleased. There was lots of dressing up, changing outfits and overall I think we both had a blast. You’ll see some random pics in this post but I find them all to be worth showing. As you can see we were pretty much relocating all day long. As far as my outfit here, I’ve meant to show you this dress for a while now. It’s a summer dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs that I bought at Jeremy’s. They usually run lots of designer sales and if you get on their email list and stop by on their sales days I bet you’ll score some goodies. This whole outfit is pretty much all Marc by Marc Jacobs, I know sounds kind of lame but I can’t help it. I like him so…. Enjoy! Paulina, thanks again for awesome shoot! People, stay tuned for more posts and pics taken by my friend.

Our first stop: Baker’s Beach. So sunny and beautiful.

Yesterday at G-Shock’s unveiling of their “black label” collection of watches—Edifice, a nice little tidbit was divulged. NBA star Lamar Odom, who is also ambassador to the G-Shock brand, prefaced his humorous speech on the ultra-trendy watches by saying that he and his wife Khloe Kardashian will be launching a new unisex fragrance called…Unbreakable.

It’s due out by next Valentine’s Day.

Looking forward to the ad campaigns for this one. Who do you think will star? Khloe, Lamar or both?

Khloe’s sister Kim released a fragrance back in February of this years. Check out the ad campaign.

The Kardashian sisters also debuted their Beach Bunny Swimwear collection during Mercedes-Benz Swim Week in Miami. They had one of my favorite collections.

These are some photos I found on Google featuring one LBD and 9 ways to wear it.

1.Classic Look. You can never go wrong with an LBD. Just throw on some killer shoes and a clutch and you are efforlessly sexy.

2.Add some leather for an edgy rocker look (some studds would be a good idea too).

3.A more romantic look with a floral scarf and a denim jacket. The hat is what makes the difference though.

4.Worn as a top with a nice wrap jacket and amazing McQueen shoes.

5.A more Lady-like outfit with leather gloves, an amazing coat and funky shoes.

6.Sexy look with animal prints and vivid yellow shoes.

7.Wear your LBD with flats and a nice cardigan for your everyday life.

8.Who sais an LBD is only for winter?Grab an eye-catching hat,you favorite sunnies and a coctail and you’re ready for the beach!

9.Travelling is stressful enough. You don’t have to worry about your outfit too. With an LBD you can always look effordlessly chic if you wear a fashionable cardigan paired with some comfy flats and a classic red purse.

So these are the pictures. Hope I gave you some ideas!

I knew they were bad. Those flimsy slats of spongy stuff with only a rubber thong to keep us in place couldn’t possibly be good for our feet. And now the reports are in from general practitioners, podiatrists and emergency room physicians that prove that the flip-flop is out to get us when we least expect it – if common sense eluded us in the first place.

Take them out of their natural habitat, the beach, and into the office, the mall, the night club – it’s been done, *shudder* – and put yourself at risk of chronic foot and ankle pain, back injuries, escalator mishaps and seriously awkward looking falls, which if taped may get you shown alongside America’s Funniest Home Videos’ ‘crotch injury’ montage. 

Death by Haviana

Wearing flip-flops while driving is the danger equivalent of texting, applying mascara, shaving, and engaging in adult ‘relations’ – in other words, you greatly increase your chances of exchanging insurance details with an angry stranger, or worse – getting up close and personal with your local coroner.

“There have been episodes of horrific collisions caused when someone was
unable to brake because their flip-flop became caught,” Joanne Banfield, manager for trauma injury prevention at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, tells the Toronto Star. 

The Silent Mangler

Banfield says there are limited statistics about injuries related to
flip-flops because it’s often not determined immediately that an injury
is directly related to wearing the sandals.

“Someone could have a hairline fracture or a sprain and never attribute it to their flip-flops,” says Banfield. 

See? Diabolical.

Ride a bike wearing flip-flops and you may find yourself enjoying the scenery one minute and the next – losing your shoe and your balance in a split second then slamming your boy or girl crotch on the crossbar (Morrissey had something awesome to say about this: “I crashed down on the crossbar and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder” – you don’t want to chance that.)

For the record, I have never owned a pair of flip-flops, ever. They aren’t comfortable for daily wear (I don’t care what people say!), they offer zero support and make you unconsciously scrunch your toes to keep them on (however, I am acutely aware when this happens, it feels weird and nasty) which causes all kinds of anatomical problems, and I cannot wear a thong – when that plastic or rubber touches the skin between my toes it triggers something that makes me feel instantly sick to my stomach. Apparently I’m not alone on this, a friend also has the same reaction and shuns the trend. And with my track record of stepping in dog poop, I’d like a little more between me and the brown offenders than a wafer of cheap sponge.

You can tell Jessica Simpson is from Texas, because she definitely prescribes to the “bigger is better” mentality – even when it comes to her summer dresses. Simpson looked like a big ole fool, in our opinion, in these oversize, tent-like patterned maxi dresses.

What she did wrong:

Patterns are great and so are maxi dresses, but avoid combining the two. Either opt for a patterned cocktail style, or a solid colored maxi.

These massive dresses do nothing to show off her toned legs and large bust. She looks more like a sack of potatoes, than the sexy Daisy Duke-wearer we once knew.

What she should have done:

Instead of Look 1:

Since Jess clearly loves patterns and this bold, bright orange color, she should try a shorter, less-baggy style like this adorable, fitted Billabong Darling dress ($39.50).

If Jessica was a heartset on a maxi style, she should have gone with this bright, flattering ASOS Jersey Grecian Maxi Beach dress ($50.54) in a solid color.

Instead of Look 2:

Maxi dresses are great because they hide all sins. You don’t need to look like you’re swimming in fabric, though; try this Daftbird Racerback Tank dress ($124). It is super comfy yet still body con and somehow slimming.

Since we know Jessica loves her prints – including the green tiger concoction above – we found her this amazing Diane von Furstenberg Crinkle printed dress ($325). You just can’t go wrong with a ladylike DVF dress.

In an interview with New York Magazine, Morehouse opened up about what exactly the transformation from athlete to fashion muse has been like.

On posing:
It’s harder than you think to take a good picture. So I’m learning, little by little… I learned how to get a spray tan, also. Laughs And I look really pale if I don’t, because fencers don’t get a lot of sun.

On his eyebrows:
I’m getting them done tomorrow. Now I have to regularly maintain it. These are things I never thought about before… It hurts. I find it very painful and I scream and make a lot of noise.

On his chest hair:
I still have chest hair… If I get paid to do an ad that requires no chest hair, I will shave it off. But until then, I’m keeping it.

And on the art of spray-tanning:
I use Beach Bum. I have someone spray me. You, like, stand there in your underwear and a guy sprays you, a guy or a girl sprays you. That is pretty weird. It took some getting used to. But I didn’t want to do a tanning bed and I was too scared to do a machine, I thought that was something I’d mess up, so I just let the professionals handle it.

And there you have it. Four easy steps to go from world class athlete to a moderately well-known model.

It’s already practically summertime here in Cali, a sign that bikini shopping season has descended upon us. But even if you live in more frigid climates where spring showers are the norm right now, it’s still not too early to get ready for beach cruising, late-night pool parties and any other reason to preen around half-naked. LA designers Scarlett Chorvat and Alison Renner have created a covetable collection of fresh, edgy bikinis that utilize inventive, lightweight fabrics, playful prints and vivid colors. The Shimmi Collection pieces evoke a sexy, cutting-edge spirit in that effortless unassuming sort of way, but is nonetheless crazy stylish. Just another reason to stop dawdling and shed that winter flab ‘cause we all know that backfat ain’t cute, girl.
