Fresh Friday...Beauty, Books, Boots...Oh, My!

For Her:  See and Hear.

I'm totally versatile when it comes to accessories because realistically, any piece can take a simple outfit and make it pop.  On a recent online wish-list excursion, I stumbled upon POParazzi .  The California brand launched by Amber Eunique, is chalk full of POP worthy pieces.  A few of the pairs are pretty spendy but, perfect accessories are worth every penny and the crystal detailing is top-notch.  I doubt studs will be falling out of any of these pieces.  I've decided my first purchase will include the Ms. Pac Man pair below. To find your favorites, check out the selection below and visit both the site and twitter page at:

I made my first E.L.F. (Eyes, Lips, Face) purchase about a year ago when I bought not one, not two but a TWELVE piece brush set for a whopping $10.00. Needless to say, I was pleased with my purchase and with the amount of money left in my bank account.  This winter, E.L.F. has quite a few goodies for any and all lovers of makeup.  One of my favorites is their collection of Studio Matte Eyeshadow.  The shadows come in an array of colors and are designed to create a vibrant effect while reducing lines and smears.  At $3.00 (YES, THREE-DOLLARS!) each, you can afford to try it out.

*Side-Note: When you head to the E.L.F. Beauty Blog you'll also notice the 100 piece eyeshadow palate...for $10.00. Click away.

For Him: In a Gentleman's Shoes.

I love a man in boots, therefore, with Winter saying "What's Up!?!" I couldn't help but to profile the flyest of the fly. Timbs for the fellas.  Timberland recently released their Gore-Tex 7, 25th Anniversary pair of boot greatness.  Hand-crafted to perfection, the Gore-Tex 7 was originally released in 1985 and is made of 3H leather which is the thickest leather available. Priced at $190.00 USD, the Gore-Tex 7 continues to impress and outshine the competition.  Long live the Timb.

The Internet has been buzzing with excitement over Enitan Bereola, II.  I must admit, I followed him on twitter and became enamored with his eloquent nature and overall gentlemanly persona.  He's articulate, he's educated, and he's REAL.  His unbiased look at the dying art of relationships is refreshing and his ability to tell the truth and make it applicable is a lost ability with regard to many of his self-help counter-parts *cough, cough* Steve Harvey *cough*. 

His book, (pictured below), 'Bereolaesque: The Contemporary Gentleman & Etiquette Book for the Urban Sophisticate' has launched him into the minds, and onto the coffee tables of many men and women alike.  

Pick up the book on Amazon.com and follow him on Twitter Bereolaesque



P.S. Just to wet your appetite for the launch of www.Chan-Lo.com, we had the opportunity to interview Mr. Bereolaesque himself.  Say hello to the first feature.  :).
