The Stud-E Bud-E

The Stud-E Bud-E by smashonista on Polyvore.com

She likes studs. She likes to play with studs. She is a stud. She'll leave unannounced when she wants and who she wants. She's got her Morning After Stud-E Bud-E Clutch and she don't need much else.

Isaiah Mustafa: The Man Your Man Could Dress Like

Smashonistas, Isaiah Mustafa, who knew this heap of sexiness was also a style icon.  According to a recent interview with the LA Times, when the Old Spice man is not wearing only a towel, riding a white horse, or offering you tickets to that thing you like,  Mustafa can be seen running around in Adriano Goldschmied and Hudson Jeans.  Truth be told I think a lot of ladies would  trade in that white horse, tickets to that thing they like and the man their man could smell like for their own man, fully (stylishly) clothed, riding a lawn mower and offering to take out the trash...... I digress. (You see we aren't asking for much).  Back to AG Jeans, Caulfield Prep and John Varvatos shoes.  Take notes my good fellows.  You may not have Isaiah's white horse or your wife (or anyone for that matter) may not enjoy YOU running around in just a towel but what you do have is some very accessible tools. Go out and buy some, and throw in a bottle of Old Spice and a can of "Act Right" for good measure.

Benefit : The Cure for Ogreish Eyebrows

great cocktails

Hey my LA Smashonistas.  Looking for a place to get your eyebrows finely sculptured.  Check out Jennifer at the Benefit Store on 3rd street in Los Angeles.  (near one of my favorite watering holes El Carmen pictured below)  Back to Jennifer, she does wonders with the most challenging of eyebrows for a not so big fee.  $20 plus tip as the other girl ringing you up will unshly ask you how much tip would you like to leave Jennifer.  Really, I just think reminding customers to tip is a bit tacky but I'm petty that way.  Call and get an appointment.  I was able to make my appointment the same day. Although when I got there someone had mysteriously erased my name from the appointment book.  Oh well Jennifer squeezed me and my ogreish (OMG that really is a word) eyebrows right in. 

Sick Boots that Love You Back

Smashonistas as much as I love sneaker wearing male Smashonistas I'm a little over it.  So I convinced my fiance to graduate from his Pumas into something a little more sophisticated and classic with a twist.  One evening I carted him over to the Nordie's men's shoe department wherein we encountered these lovely..... I'm sorry I mean rugged sick lookin' pair of Timberland boots.  As soon as he put these suckers on he couldn't take them off.  He absolutely loved the way they were so COMFORTABLE and very FASHION FORWARD.  Now if you buy a pair don't go ruining them by wearing some white socks.  Stick with dark colored sport socks or even a thicker pair of dress socks.  These boots are very versatile and will go with all manner of chinos and jeans.  Boys if you are still at that clubbing, creeping age these boots will get you through many nights. If that's not you, you say, these boots love going to church, dinner, art galleries, shopping with their man's wife, movies and last but not least work.   They also come in a great dark brown color.  These babies run about $275 a pop but you can check out Rockport they have some similar designs without the so hefty price tag.
