Stylish with Substance

I want to update you to let my visitors know how to use a new feature of the site. I've added the ShareThis code which allows you to share my posts with almost any social site.

You can save something for yourself if you want to blog about a post, you can Tweet my post, etc. etc. I love this one because it even has Kirtsy.com (the top feminine social bookmarking site) You can also share with e-mail, AIM, even blog about a post, etc.

I also like this service because I don't have to save icons or figure out all the code, plus you can submit to many sites I may not have chosen (if we fit).

The one tiny catch is that you have to visit the permalink for a post before sumitting it. Please view the image for a little assistance, and you should recognize the spot on each blog post.

Thanks!

P.S. The Love This is for registered users of OnSugar (or if you'd like to register.)

*Update* I had a bit of incorrect info at first inspired by ShareThis not displaying correctly.

We know Europe is a bit gender-eccentric, with Scotland's kilts and their progressive ways. Not that there's anything wrong with that at all, but sometimes a man looks best dressed as a man. Err, a manly man?

Even the states now have odd (or oddly-named) things for guys, such as "bromances" and "man dates" (for straight men).

I for one am just not, and far from, ready to embrace the male gown-like skirt.

This is a look from yesterday in London's Fashion Week by J W Anderson. I would have preferred the feminisation of males on the catwalk stopped even before such a coiffed 'do, but alas, how could it?

I still know this look would never fly at a sporting event, night out with "the boys" or picking up "chicks" - so we know our society is not ready for it.

Is London's? Or is this more spectacle for attention?

Perhaps it will be tailored into female attire, for those femmes who like it - but for themselves. If that's actually the intent, I say it's silly rubbish.

COACH has announced they will put out a cheaper sub-range of accessories and fashions to be called "Poppy" and debut this July. "The Poppy line, ranging from $198 to $598, will include a whimsical array of tiaras, pochettes, footwear, watches, eyewear, and even select apparel items." -quoting COACH, from FabSugar.

There is high doubt (including from moi) that this line is more affordable / reasonable / better value---at all. My concern is that I read (and posted the quote above) there will be pouches (their small bags) but the prices start at $198, which is high for one of their pouch bags---or anything small.

Compare to:

I would eat up a true capsule line, or maybe just when things hit the outlet, because that's really how bad things are - but this? I'd rather carry the fabulous things I already own than slum it with downsizing the size of my purse so greatly, even for new cute styles (which will be different styles now anyway).

My verdict before being able to see any of this - wake up and smell the roses (which is what I find Coach's regular value to be like, flower-wise).

Think of that old adage, "if it's too good to be true, it (probably) is."

Jessica Biel hosted the (mostly*) untelevised Science & Technology Oscars last night, which is an honor always given to a "reigning Hollywood hottie". Guys can tell me - or anyone - is Biel the highest "reigning" of the moment?

I wonder if she's the top choice of guys or merely the top semi-insider who has a lot of recent buzz due to relationship with femme-fave Justin Timberlake. I would think there's a lot of guy-attention competition, especially in geek world, with Transformers' star, Megan Fox. Curious female minds want to know.

Please - guys or gals, geeks or fashionistas - respond in the comments!

*Only excerpts from the SciTech Oscars are shown during the major telecast of the Oscars. Still you might want to tune in if you really want to catch a glimpse of Biel.

*Le Sigh*. No, I do not love scouring over every show all week long, nor do I love writing about a single topic or in a single way. And I also do not love reading the same old posts about the runway styles. So in part to brush up on my knowledge of what's going on and in part to celebrate the better and best of other blogs' coverage, here is a link roundup of fashion bloggers' reviews and other noteworthy pieces on New York Fashion Week Fall 2009...

• Shoo Shoes! (shoe un-comfort, un-fab) --- So Brian Reyes collaborated with Manolo Blahnik for their collection, however it must have been DesignFail because the assumedly-usually professional models faultered and fell in their Blahniks (so un-Bradshaw!) and ended up - all of them - walking the final rounds in bare feet. -- Fashionologie wrote a great living-the-moment piece complete with a gallery of photos. (Warning: FEET!)
• ShoeFab (and leg fabulous!) -- Louboutins and floral sheer tights at the 3.1 Philip Lim show --- a gallery from Le City Kitty. (Warning: music!)
• It was News - Celebrity NOTs --- Marc Jacobs had to cut corners (and celebrities, and plus-ones) from his show, except for Anna Wintour's invitation (plus one), of course. --- from the newsdesk at Fashionologie.
• The Huffington Post went on the hunt after retailers and manufacturers abusing the sale of fur.
• Fug Fashion; actually, for the Birds (not women) --- Trend de la Crème posted a genius photo comparison list of catwalk couture with ... turkeys. We take it this blogger doesn't want to gobble up the tastes.
• More Fug - a slideshow of 80s inspired apparel --- on Yahoo!'s Shine.
• Beauty --- Reddest lips and tightest ponytails at J. Mendel on Style List /// videos and photos of backstage beauty (at Marchesa) on Eye 4 Style.
• Not Just Fug---Unwearable --- this year's outrageous couture, a slideshow and article from Guanabee.
• And on to the trends... the best covered: the not-covered looks of nude, natural and neutral: all the nude & glossed, barely made-up lips in great photo layout form on Beauty N Love. /// Nuetrals made natural by nature; mixing mutes with skins on Shoes Junky.
• A Whole Lotta Trends in one post: Fashion Sensei has cut-outs, cobalt blue, and metallics are also on the Huffington Post.
• Recession Trend Forecasting: All the Fashion Week ways to tell if our wallets are pooped by WalletPop. /// also Tough Clothes for Tough Times.
• Last but not least, a little fun: Marc Jacobs Mad Libs from Whorange.

Of course there are more collections to see and articles to read, but I really should work on my own recaps, myself!
