After seeing “The Adjustment Bureau”,  I immediately told Mr. Looney that I could really see him pulling off this style – tailored grey suit, brown fedora, wool coat.

Body Maintenance in West Columbia – a place where massages are affordable. If you have back trouble or other problem areas, apparently this is the [...]

What a Man!

I have decided to take a break from dressing myself and focusing on my menstyle. This was due to my recent interview on The Charles Campbell Show. I was there to talk about my fashion and beauty tips. However, since the hosts were men, they wanted tips for them! Can you imagine – a man [...]

If the shoe fits…

Shoes make the man. So depending on what business you’re in, wear the shoe that fits you. For example, I recommend the Best Feature by Kenneth Cole Reaction, for the businessman. Not your style?
