Fall & Winter, Guystyle
For the man who wants to evolve beyond the ubiquitous khakis, sophisticated
leathers, suits and knits take center stage this
season.
Need something a little punchier? Try bags, guyaberas or faux pony skin boots.

*Cashmere, cashmere everywhere...
..can you believe it's just goat hair? Where it comes from, what's hot, where to
buy pashmina shawls and more.

*Virtually beautiful
The buzz may be around mega makeup and skincare e-tailers like Eve.com and
Sephora, but what fashionistas really love are hip
boutiques with special finds. Don't miss Profaces, Who's the Fairest?, Star
Crazy, Beauty Habit, Beauty Cafe, Bliss Spa and Mario
Badescu.

*Dressy goods
When only a dress will do, try this new category with links to e-tailers selling
social, career and casual dresses in lots of
styles
and price points. Tips on dressing for special occasions and more.

-----------------Many thanks------------------
My favorite part of this job is talking to you one-on-one in chat, forum and
when you email me with a specific question.
I love it when you also take the time to write me a note after I've responded
and let me know how things turn out.

Here are a few of your recent success stories*:
From S.L. who needed to know about business casual dress codes for a job
interview: "Just wanted to thank you for your advice. I
went through the whole interview process, and I think I succeded. I'll always
appreciate your help."

From S.H. who was trying to find out what to do with a defective designer
handbag: "It took a month or so to get a response (from

the merchant) Thanks so much for your help!! (They replaced the bag with the
new version, even though I could not find my
receipt.)
I am very happy with the outcome."

From B.P. who needed some help researching a school paper: "Hello, I just wanted
to thank you for the information you gave me a
couple of weeks ago it was very helpful. I received an A- on the paper. Once
again thanks."

Can I help point you in the right direction? My mailbox is always open --

------------------ In Production ------------------
New Designers -- Look for up and coming designers from around the world, many
aren't exactly new, but not quite mainstream. Some
may
call them Young Designers, but that's not really an accurate description either.
