Men's Underwear: MeUndies Review

By Charles Moffat

Okay so I have been trying out two pairs of men's underwear sent to me via a friend over in England. Since she doesn't wear men's underwear and knew that I write product reviews for Product Reviews Canada that I at least have experience with writing reviews (including fashion reviews).

The underwear company I am testing out is "MeUndies" from meundies.com, which runs an underwear subscription service. Essentially the idea is for people to sign up and every so often they receive new underwear in the mail. It is apparently a booming business model. You find the type and colour of underwear you like, order one to see if you like it, and then once you have it you realize its a good quality product and then sign up for a subscription.

Anywho...

So what I have received is not 1 but 2 pairs of orange boxer briefs. So I've ditched my black Dockers (also boxer briefs) to try out the MeUndies. First impressions? They fit snugly and they're comfortable. And the bright orange is, well, bright.

On the inside label it says 92% Modal 8% Elasthane and made in Turkey. (In contrast my old Dockers are 100% Cotton and made in Thailand.)

Now to be fair... my Dockers stretched over time. Cotton is NOT Elasthane, which I am guessing is a stretchy material used in fabrics. The MeUndies in contrast are nice and stretchy and should keep its size and shape a lot longer.

And really what else do we expect from underwear? Comfort, colour, and a good fit. If underwear can't keep its shape over the long term and gets stretched out too easily then it really isn't that good. (Sorry, Dockers, it is the truth. You need to up your game with the materials you use.)

Want to learn about MeUndies? Check out the male underwear and female underwear.

In the meantime I shall have to wait and see if my girlfriend likes the orange boxer briefs. I am going to guess YES.

Kitchen Aprons = Cute + Sexy

Check out all the cute and sexy aprons you can get on Etsy? Don't they just make you want to sign up for Italian cooking lessons in Toronto?

Of course if you're really itching to have private cooking lessons you could just make your own apron. If you browse YouTube and a variety of other websites you will find lots of great ideas for both making your own aprons... and recipes to make in your dream kitchen.

Yes, you could go out and just "buy" an apron at a local store, but something handmade and unique from someone on Etsy or making an apron yourself will have much more meaning to you. And be waaaaay cuter!

Want to get practice wearing your nice new apron? Go get yourself some cooking lessons in Toronto or whatever city you happen to live in.

After all, what is the point of wearing a cute apron if you don't know how to cook?

Side Note: What if people started wearing aprons outside in public... just for fun? Like a fashion accessory. Or would that just be silly?

SHOES for your closet...

By Bhawna Bhutad

Hello there pretty ladies....don't waste your weekend sitting at home and doing nothing as after reading this, you ought to get up from that couch and buy yourself some lovely pairs of shoes.So here's all the information you've always been looking for for the right YOU...

1.KITTEN HEELS-
A kitten heel is a short,slender heel about 1.5 to 2 inches high,with a slight curve setting the heel in from the edge of the shoe.Sex And The City favourite Manolo Blahnik has added kitten heeled shoes to his collection,saying that his famous high stilettos have been copied so often that he was inspired to create a heel at a new,shorter height.As fashion has swung back towards a more understated aesthetic level,these low-key heels feel right once again.

2.ANKLE BOOTS
They vary in length from booties or shoe boots (a shoe that skims the ankle) to boots that cover the lower part of the calf.Ankle boots work with any kind of pants.If you are teaming your shoes with a skirt,look for skirts that are a couple of inches above the knee or shorter.Avoid wearing ankle boots with cropped pants or tights,mid-length skirts,pencil skirts,shorts or capris.

3.BALLET PUMPS-
Also called Dolly shoes,ballet pumps or ballerina flats,they are derived from a womans soft ballet slipper,with a very thin heel or the appearance of no heel at all.Ballet flats took off last when Audrey Hepburn wore them with skinny jeans in the 1957 film Funny Face.Naturally,skinny jeans with a T-shirt or a tunic accompanied by ballet pumps create a stylish casual look.Ballet flats can also go with cropped pants,shorts and capris.For partying,they come in gold,bronze and silver and adorned with sequins and jewels.

4.STILETTOS
Singer Jessica Simpson loves heels so much that she refuses to wear flat shoes,even when shes at home. Even a pair of jeans and a Tshirt can take on an entirely different look when a pair of heels is added.For centuries,women have used these pencil-thin,killer heels to give the optical illusion of longer legs,smaller feet and greater height,but most importantly,sex appeal.

5.FUNKY FLATS
Hollywood actress Uma Thurman recently wore flat sandles to AmFARs Cinema Against AIDS Gala and Diana Kruger wore Celine flats out to an event in Cannes.Both women proved that choosing a flat doesnt necessarily mean you look any less stylish.Supermodel Elle Macpherson once said,I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasnt ashamed of being tall.But I dont wear them anymore because you dont have to wear heels to be beautiful. If youre anxious about looking frumpy,we suggest you pick up flats in funky colours and styles.

We hope the information served your purpose and interest and we would like to know your feedback on our blogs.

GOWNS for summer season!

By Bhawna Bhutad

When "elegance" and "style" are combined together by a designer, it gives existence to the most sensuous piece of clothing ever created, which is gowns!

They are meant for every occasions and for all types of body structures.

The summer is on and the trend of minis to micros to hot pants to bikini is at its peak.But when you plan for a holiday on a beach side in that Miami sun, you even feel the need to keep something elegant in your closet for that special summer evening with that special someone.And to make your evening more romantic and comfortable, a gown can do wonders., without stuffing you too much.

I present some of the designs which are comfortable to wear and at the same time easy to carry.

If you have a physique to die for, and reflect a personality of being bold and romantic, this piece of gown is perfect for you to accentuate your curves and grab eyeballs...

Made from "sheer" fabric, and decorated with the black lines of satin it gives a silhoutte a chic look without blinging it up too much.

The second gown is for the elegant females who are liberated and free spirited.It signifies the pristine beauty who likes to add a soft touch to their looks

Made from chiffon material, it has the flow and is beautiful. The effect of fur gives more meaning to the overall look.

Finally coming to my last creation , this gown truly reflects the season by showing all the colors of a dawn or a dusk, highlighting the true spirit of summer.A sun kissed skin is a perfect choice for this kind of gown as it adds a glow and divinity to the overall look.

So ladies, take over this summer, with the special gowns and let the world know a true fashionista in you..!!

Leather... never out of fashion!

By BHAWNA.

Ever thought of having a leather piece in your wardrobe apart from boots, belts or wallets?

It’s time to have one now..! A leather jacket or a dress works great for any occasion and personifies your simple look also.

The history of leather dates back to 1900s when “Bomber jackets” were designed for aviators and military members. The purpose of the jacket was to protect fliers from extreme weather situations.

In the later half of the 20th century it caught attention and gained iconic status when the acceptance was seen from Hollywood stars

Since then it has been gaining popularity and a status of “richness” as the wearer stands out in the crowd.

The main contributors in this have been the famous rock bands like “Heavy metal” and “Punk” who gave leather an all together different meaning.

Today the use of leather is diversified and is both for men and women.

Through this article we will present you with the “in” styles of leather which can be applied by you to change your look

Do a Google Image search sometime for "Devon Owens" and you will see the new face of North American fashion. At least in our humble opinion.

So yeah, expect to see her in a lot more advertising and magazines.
