Ode to the V-Neck

Why is it that a pattern as simple as a v-neck t-shirt can make a man look so good?
Damn.

Let me revise that statement.

SOME men. The funny part of this type of shirt is that while some man look dashing, others look like huge guido creeps,(sorry Jersey Shore)like these guys.

 Or this guy.

 While the v-neck has been around forever, most men associate the plunging v-neck as too feminine-which, when they are worn like this, kind of are.

The key to a good v-neck on a man starts with his build, style, the style and cut of the v-neck itself.
When done right, even low v-necks can look extremely masculine.Its all about how you wear it.


V-Neck Reference Chart
1. The high v.-most classic. Most conservative. Looks best when its white, suits an older or more conservative guy. Makes less buff guys look buffier and hides hairyness:) Its perfect, but not recommended for really buff or really slim boys, as it makes your build even slimmer or bulky. Opt for a medium v.
2.The medium v. Somewhere in the middle. Between runway and conservative. Shows off some chest, so well pretty collar bones and pecs make this style look gorgeous. If you're sporting a tuft...opt for a high v....no one wants to see that. The medium v looks best in white or darker colours, it also lends itself best to designs. 
3.The deep v. Popularized most recently by American apparel, I like this best on slim guys in plain colours and paired with some wicked skinny slacks or a cardi:) Not so much fir really buff or heavier guys as you look like a douchebag showoff or like you have manboobs...jus sayin. 
When done right, sits super cute and sexy. 

 Yay! And like all good fashion ideas for boys, we gotta get in on it too!

 
SO rock the v-love it, live in it. I know I do. All you need is a pair of jeans and some sperrys and BAM you're somewhat fashionable.
I'm out.

First post must be hair related, it's only logical considering its bigger than I am.

So, I'm loving this braid thing.

All the years spent sitting rigidly on a closed plastic toilet seat waiting for my mom to
 finish a dreaded french braid, tugging and pulling while I wished I could just have straight hair like the other girls, and it's finally in style.

Dammit.
The fishtail, the boho braid, the inside out braid, hell even my old school french braid are making the most impressive of appearances, from runway to...hallway...?

This chick (she's cooler than me anyways) shows you how to do the fishtail)

The best part of it all is this boho chique thing.

*Credit to Sienna Miller who takes the cake in my books for making this look rock in its most recent appearance. Nicole Richie and the Olsens get notable mention, but neither rocks it like Sienna, let's be serious. *

A style where over-sized clothing, natuarally wavy hair and clean simply lip glossed faced look is hot.

BRILLIANT.

Can I comment on how happy it makes me not to have to wake up 2 hours before my classes to sweat like crazy while desperately trying to straighten my mop?

Or perhaps it's more delightful to buy "stylish" clothing for under 10 dollars at Value Village..

In short, I'm not looking forward to when the poised and straightened look comes back.


Gross.

Now for something remotely helpful:

Heat-free Wavy hair -like Sienna Miller (huge crush)
with some poof, but only if you use Daisy Fuentes Mousse. (courtesy of Dollarama)

*Start before bed*:
1. Wash it: Honestly, how many hairstyles actually start like this???
2. Towel dry the shit out of it, leave it damp-ish, damp enough that it will be almost dry in the morning.
3. Use leave in conditioner (pick one) and some good mousse (No daisy Fuentes) and run it through your beautiful locks.
4. Here's the fun part. Split your hair down the middle and make two tight french braids-hair spray them using a medium hold hairspray or something like satin (its so amazing it gets a picture so you can be influenced to buy it)

5. Sleep- What your boyfriend/girlfriend has been doing this whole time, lucky bastards.
6. Wake up.
7. if you're still alive, awesome. Take out your braids and comb em out with your lovely fingers.
8. Flip your curly mess upside down and if still wet, blow dry it with a diffuser..or don't.
9. Fix messed up parts by wetting it  with a spray bottle and moussing.
10. Finish (no pun intended) with hairspray and a dime sized dab of finishing creme or hair serum, to keep it tame in humidity.
