The Perfect Handbag Giveaway On Ubokia

November 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A well-made handbag is truly a thing of beauty, coveted by many and possessed by few. If you’re in search of that perfect handbag, you should check out Ubokia, a free online community where you can buy, borrow, trade and sell your gently used handbags with your fellow style seekers.

It’s like the reverse of eBay and Craigslist – instead of hunting through thousands of for-sale listings, post a Want for your perfect handbag on Ubokia and let sellers respond to you. If you have a handbag to sell, you can also create Seller Alerts to notify you when someone wants what you have. It’s a great way to make some extra cash (to buy new handbags, of course!).

And you’re in luck, because if you sign up now, Ubokia is giving one lucky member the chance to win a handbag of their choice, up to a $500 value.

Here’s how to enter the Perfect Handbag Giveaway:

1. Sign up for Ubokia by clicking here (it’s free).
2. Post your Want for the perfect handbag.

That’s it! You’ll be automatically entered into the giveaway. Ubokia will announce the winner on Wednesday, December 21. Good luck!

November 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Good news for fans of London-leaning fashion. Super popular British online store Very.com launched its new U.S. site this week. Now stateside style-seekers can shop the company’s British fashion brands and get free shipping and returns on orders over $98.

You’ll find trend-driven apparel and accessories for men and women from both mainstream and lesser-known brands, as well as departments dedicated to maternity, athletic and plus-size clothing. Along with the shop’s exclusive lines Love Label and Goodsouls, you’ll find dresses by DKNY and Guess, French Connection knits, denim by Bench and sunglasses by Carrera, Fendi and Marc Jacobs, among many others.

The site allows you to filter products in a variety of ways. We especially liked that there were options to shop by price, body shape, occasion or brand to narrow products down quickly.

And for the star-obsessed, know that Very.com loves its celebs, starting with its current ambassador Whitney Port. The star of MTV’s The City has partnered with the shop, which will carry her Whitney Eve line.

More San Francisco shopping…

Fashion Tips for Cold Weather

October 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The leaves are falling from the trees and the temperatures are following suit, so it’s time to start dressing for the winter weather. When there’s a chill in the air, it’s all too easy to concentrate on getting comfy and cozy and let style fall by the wayside as a consequence. Of course, it is important to stay warm in order to brave the elements. But that doesn’t have to mean looking like you’ve thrown on your entire wardrobe at once. A stylish jacket will always help.

Layering is the key dressing skill of the autumn and winter months, as it will make sure you are dressed appropriately whether you are outdoors or in. Consider buying a knitted sweater to slip on over your shirt or swapping your suit for one made from a woolen fabric. If you are large or tall and struggle to source these in your size, look at ranges from specialists such as www.highandmighty.co.uk.

Sponsor Love: Summer Shoe Guide from JD Sports

June 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Summer’s here and so are a slew of new men’s shoe styles perfect for the warmer months ahead. After emerging from the dull slog of winter, it’s all about lightweight kicks in seasonal hues.

For that we turn to UK retailer JD Sports for a Summer Shoe Guide featuring men’s footwear ideal for strolling the city streets, sitting in the sun and enjoying the summer months. Read on for Fashionable Footwear from JD Sports you won’t want to miss:


1. The Duffer of St. George mid-top. When the sun heats up, we love the look of this crisp white kick. Featuring a full canvas upper, padded ribbed ankle, metallic lace eyelets, metallic button on the ankle and double-stitch detailing throughout, these slick trainers keep it simple while remaining stylish.

2. adidas Nizza Hi Zip. Incorporate classic sneaker style into your summer wardrobe with this pair from the adidas Originals line. Featuring a full leather upper with three-stripe branding on the sides, this shoe stands out thanks to its contrast zip fasten heel accent and double stitch detailing throughout.

3. Nike Toki. For an athletic-minded take on casual footwear, try the men’s Toki, which pairs a chunky white midsole with textured mudguard and striped detailing with a full canvas upper, padded ankle support, Swoosh branding on the heel tip and sides and double stitching highlighting the side panel. For summer, we dig this shoe in the metallic silver/summit white color combination, but you’ll also find it available in black, blue and other colors.

4. The Duffer of St. George Flare. For the most casual summer days, this JD Sports exclusive bring a fashion-forward twist to classic men’s espadrilles, thanks to an all-canvas upper with a tucked toe styling, tonal paneling throughout and a contrasting midsole with a woven brand tab on the heel to finish. This is the pair of slip-ons to take with you whenever you escape the city (or just want to feel like it).
