Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation for NYFW @ernestalexander @MBfashionweek
I’ve got a soft spot for a well-dressed man (who doesn’t?) and so I’m always interested to know what’s going on in the men’s fashion world. And since Fashion Week just kicked off, I’m treated to sneak peeks of some of the best designers out there.

Tailored pieces like double-breasted blazers, suits, outerwear, plus oh-so fine linen shorts, cotton shirts and the ultimate accessory: handsomely designed briefcases that feature camouflage prints and bold colors.
Why I love this brand? Clean designs. Covetable colors. Out-of-the-box style.

70 Calories Ice Cream by @HaloTopCreamery
Can ice cream that has 7g protein, 70 calories, and 4 g of sugar taste good?
I recently got samples of Halo Top Creamery – All Natural Light Ice Cream. The golden lid is the “Halo Top”. The top-shelf ingredients are all organic, cage free, hormone free and taste just like ice cream.
They are in 17 states, Sprout, Whole Foods and comes in 4 flavors.
My favorite flavor is Vanilla Bean – It is perfect for smoothies, milkshakes, a la mode with desserts and yummy with cornflakes on top!
Chocolate – This one tastes just a bit like chocolate, it is so good with shredded coconut on top
Lemon Cake – This cheesecake texture and lemony flavor is yummy! I topped these with fresh strawberries
Strawberry – This one is made of real organic strawberries and it is just the perfect pink!
Ice cream season doesn’t end with summer.

Denim Perfection @DAVID_KAHNJeans
Happy Fashion Week New York friends! It is the beginning of an exciting 7 days so make sure you pace yourself. While everyone is trying to be more eccentric than the next person – I will opt for the classic looks. Black and White and also White and Denim with a pop of color.
I never heard of David Kahn jeans until recently and when I tried them on, I was sold! The Nikki Ankle fit is incredible and there is stretch in every pair. The last few years, I have been living in leggings and dreading the times I have to wear jeans but these are so comfy I have been wearing them 2 days straight! I love the way they have a 8 inch rise so your butt never hangs out and you don’t have to be constantly tugging at them. Since I am only 5’3 the ankle style fits me perfectly, no cuffing or altering required! They do not squish your butt at all. They actually lift them – how cute!
David Kahn Jeanswear is a California-based denim company that features both men’s and women’s designer jeans. Since 1999, these jeans have been designed and merchandised by David Kahn and the collection consists of the highest quality Japanese and Italian premium denim with the most sophisticated and inventive washes available anywhere.

Every kitty needs @whiskerslist!
I admit that there was once upon a time when I found dates (and disastrous relationships) through Craigslist. There’s no shame (right?). But what about all the cats of the world? You know, the ones who are always on the Internet searching for love, searching for jobs, or just out to find the latest sweet deal on a shredded toilet roll artist?
Introducing the cutest, most hilarious book every kitty (and its owner) deserves to have: WHISKERSLIST: the kitty classifieds. From “personals” and “gigs” to “help wanted” and “vacation rentals,” this tongue-in-cheek read reveals the inner lives of our felines through 160 fun-filled posts. Who knew kitty had such interests?
Author Angie Bailey is the creator and writer of the Catladyland blog (seriously visit this site—I’ve spent hours decoding feline slang!), which won the 2011 Pettie Award for Funniest Pet Blog/Blogger, as well as the 2013 BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Pet Blogging and Social Media award for Best Humor Blog. She’s also the mother to two human kids and three furry feline kids.Find her book at whiskerslist.com or on Amazon!

Acne Be Gone with @Obagi
Here it is, guys, the skincare solution you’ve been waiting for that takes care of pesky acne—Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Systems!
More than just another promise (we’ve all seen the ads that claim to clear up acne but somehow never do), this three-step system includes everything your skin needs to penetrate deep into the skin and clear acne fast. FAST. We’re talking as short as 2-weeks fast. That’s pretty fast.
Obagi treatments work because they contain a patented, solubilized form of 5% benzoyl peroxide—in other words, the unique stuff used to create these toners and cleaners penetrate deep into the follicle and treats acne where it starts (under the surface).
I tried the Obagi CLENZIderm Normal-to-oily skin system. It comes with a foaming cleanser, pore therapy treatment and a therapeutic lotion.
What do I LOVE about it? Well, if you’ve ever touched a newborn baby’s skin, you’ll know how incredible soft it is. This is exactly what the Obagi system does. I’ve used the foaming cleanser everyday for a week and definitely feel the difference. I decided to use both the pore therapy treatment and lotion sparingly because this stuff is prescription-strength and my skin is super sensitive. But, wow. After using all three this evening, my skin feels like it wants to rejoice! It just feels clean. And I’ve used soaps and cleansers and wipes to try to achieve that super clean feeling before, but nothing comes close to Obagi.It’s powerful stuff so before you use Obagi’s CLENZIderm system, try all three products on a small patch of skin. I made a mistake and forgot to do this and my super-sensitive skin got quite the shock. But I’m going to continue using this three-step system because it’s just too good.
The Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. System is physician dispensed, so if you’re looking for a powerful and promising way of reducing acne and enjoying super smooth skin, give your doctor or dermatologist a call. Better yet, head on over to Obagi.com and they’ll give you a rundown of where you can pick it up.
