Men Style Watch @Vilebrequin_US
2011 Summer Autumn Collection
“In the style of…” This season Vilebrequin enters into a creative dialogue with the contemporary artists who have shaped the 20th century. Henri Matisse and his cutout techniques, Andy Warhol and his Pop Art, Sonia Delaunay and her love of colours… so many creations able to inspire Vilebrequin to produce a collection that sounds like a tribute to the history of art.Roy Lichtenstein’s favoured comic strip style, the Klein blue, Joan Miro’s poetic shapes, the exotic, highly-stylised paintings of Henri Rousseau and even Jackson Pollock’s splashes of water paint also feature in this entertaining and cultural journey. Each swimsuit becomes a master’s canvass, an original piece from a unique world, fuelled by the identity of each of these artists and inspired by their personalities.Vilebrequin’s icons, the tortoise, fruits and flowers have been reinterpreted using techniques specific to each artist. Vilebrequin has designed a timeless collection, both creative and inventive, with art collectors and sun lovers in mind…

Mystery Guy #12
Apple Store Soho. I spotted him before he saw me. That’s how it always happens. Perhaps it’s because I have an eye for these things or maybe it was just because he fit in so well with the futurist, simple and white hot store ambiance. He was just running in for a quick errand. He needs and extra charger for work just in case. Always be prepared right? Sexy is in the details and he’s got all that. Neutral grays and with Nike Prestos and Gucci belt peeking out?
Yes please.

Know Your Nails: Nail Kandy
I LOVE the look of long beautiful nails but I’m tired of striping my nails by getting fakes! That’s why I spoke my dear friend Kate the other day about her nail creations!
Who: Kate Bland – Creator of Nail Kandy www.nailkandy.etsy.com
Created: June, 2010
Why: Fed up and disappointed by the selection of nail art available at the nail salon she was going to, Kate decided to do nail art herself. Having stocked up on a large amount of supplies she started making and selling one of a kind hand painted glue-on nails, which are very popular in Asia.
Cost range: Between $10 and $30, depending. She has also started to sell nail art supplies (not created by Kate), that will probably be in the $1 to $10 range.
Contest: Between June 24th, 2011 and July 24th, 2011 Kate is having a giveaway on her nail art blog, www.nailkandy.tumblr.com
She is giving away a large selection of nail art supplies as well as two sets of “blank” nails (the ones she paints on) so that the winner can create their own set of of Nail Kandy nails. In order to enter, you must be following the blog and re-blog about the giveaway. All of the rules can be found here: http://bit.ly/NKgiveaway
Happy Nails, happy gal. That’s what I think anyway. Here are the ones Kate did for me for my recent 80’s music video!

Sentimental Sunday: Don’t Talk About Our Sex
I know that the truth will always surface so you should never keep secrets, but there are some things you don’t need to discuss. Shia LaBoeuf, although you’re super dreamy and I’d love to marry a guy like you, you’re a jerk for telling Details Magazine how you hooked up with Megan Fox during the filming of the first Transformers movie. She’s happily married now to Brian Austin Green! Way to be inappropriate.
“Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them,” Shia explains. Megan was dating Brian at the time they hooked up. “I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. . . .” he repeated. “It was what it was.” FYI they were on a break. But regardless, this is a little late to be discussing all of this, don’t you think? Transformers: Dark Of The Moon didn’t do as well as it would have with Megan so maybe he’s saying this all in spite of her. Rude. I’m glad all the press is making him look like an ass. Megan should say ‘thank you’ for making her more famous. Love it!
I’m warning you, don’t talk about our sex. Ever. If you don’t believe me that’s fine. It’ll only look bad on you.

@LugLife Giveaway
Love Canadian companies who are really making a mark globally!
It all started with a guy, a girl, and a dog, 1,456 miles of asphalt, and 23 hours logged in a white Jeep Grand Cherokee from Dallas, TX, to Toronto, ON, Canada. Ami and Jason had met a few short months before on August 31, 2004, at one of the largest trade shows in the nation. It was Magic. Las Vegas. Thousands of merchants and two entrepreneurs with bags on the brain. They hit it off and then hit the road.
Somewhere between stops for gas, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and Cherry Coke, Lug was born with a clever name, clean logo, and an idea to provide travel accessories to savvy globetrotters. “We felt the market was filled with black and boring product,” says Ami. “And we wanted to add some color!” By August 2005, one year after first meeting, Ami and Jason were offering luggage belts and coordinating luggage tags in bright colors—products for smart travelers with spunk.
By January 2006 they had expanded to bags. But not just any bags; super smart bags with unrivaled organizational features. Today, the little brand that tackled travel has since grown to include smart, stylish solutions for everything from work to play to active living everyday—think laptop cases, wallets, beach totes, gym bags, and clever travel gear—all in brilliant color. With a focus on functionality, plus a good dose of fun, the Lug team takes pride in generating fresh ideas for those on the go.
Six years after first meeting, Ami and Jason finally tied the knot, saying their “I dos” at Walt Disney World on May 25, 2010. Just shy of one year later, they packed up the Dallas office and headed southbound on I-35, to their new “ranch” in the Texas Hill Country, just outside of Austin, where they are putting down roots for Lug’s new US home base.
Here is our giveaway… Win this Luggage Bag and Luggage Tag but correctly tweeting the right answer to this @LugLife and @HeyDoYou
