Nightlife fashion

It was not yet Halloween but people were dressed in all sort, shapes and tastes. Some looking like they just walked outta bathroom, others like they are going to bed and others even though dressed seemed like they had no idea what they were upto.

Nonetheless, all happily gathered in a tavern, in a jovial mood, ready to get down with the get down. The doormen could not have been more serious, but even they didn’t seem to know why they were stone faced; everybody was here to have a good time. It seemed otherwise for them.

Downstairs or if you prefer in the basement was they had the boom box, a dance floor and a DJ booth. Two DJs in the booth, I wondered why, one to insert and the other to press play. It was not like what they did was anywhere close to requiring a DJ leave alone two.

And what they played? Music like I’ve never heard, beats too fast, too close to each other, overlapping, you would have had the whole bar and steal dance to some sh’t. As in no matter how hammered you were, you wouldn’t have missed a beat. There was practically a beat to every step, or second imaginable or doable.

And yes, a face or two to ogle, a dashboard or two to ignite your interest in working them out and so much more that am not gonna say.

At the end of the night, you can imagine what was going down or up for that matter.

Shapewear – a pretty collection

Let’s face it. While the right shapewear can give you the confidence to wear that skin-tight cocktail dress you otherwise would put in the “I’ll wear when I lose 10 lbs” part of the closet, it sure isn’t doing you any favors in the get-undressed-in-front-of-a-man department.

No matter how sexy you look on the outside, taking off your clothes to reveal your entire body squished into a less-than-sexy rubber tube (let alone the process of actually peeling said tube off) is one experience most women would rather not experience.  Which is precisely why Sassybax Founder Amanda Horan Kennedy has created a collection even the prettiest woman would envy.

Introducing “The Pretty Collection,” shapewear that looks just as good on the outside as it does on the inside!  Trust us – this is one undergarment he’ll be wanting to peel off.

“This collection is so pretty and sexy that it’s hard to believe it’s shapewear,” Kennedy says. “…women will actually want to show it off like lingerie!”

The Pretty Collection not only has Sassybax’s iconic slimming, shaping and confidence-boosting power, but also an unmatched seduction for those romantic moments.

The line retails from $50 – $118 in numerous department stores, boutiques and online retailers throughout the U.S., including Saks Fifth Avenue, HerRoom.com, BareNecessities.com, FreshPair.com and of course, Sassybax.com. The sultry collection consists of seven uniquely designed and, might we add, gorgeous styles – a slip, camisole, shaper bottom, high rise body shaper, thong body suit, control brief and control thong – that both shape and flaunt a women’s femininity beyond ordinary lingerie.

The Pretty Collection’s French-inspired design and superior fabrication is specifically designed to be worn by women…but this time, seen by men!

Green fashion for a sustainable living

Let there be sustainability in fashion.

There is a good cause for all conquests and undertakings, except of course in causes where there are none. Sustainable living is the new style in fashion and with it the reinvention of green as the new black.

The fashion industry has caught on the trend of sustainability thanks to the efforts of a number of eco conscious brands and start ups that is growing steadily.

Rapanui is one of the eco fashion brands that makes organic clothing using renewable energy. The brand features a traceability tool that enables customers to spread their influence about sustainability not just in making purchases but also in how clothes are made.

The service empowers earth lovers enabling them to make informed decisions about garments they purchase. That way, one can be sure how clothes they buy have been made and how their respective raw materials were acquired and thus be in a position to make the right decision both to the benefit of the planet and themselves.

Traceability serves as the last piece in the puzzle for those who looking to purchase sustainably as well as spread their influence on other brands. For fashionistas looking to do something about their carbon footprints, Rapanui may be your next best stop.
