Bring the ZING to the MONEYMAKER

2011-05-13T13:51:00.002-05:00

The new clothing lines for the summer have arrived, and we browse through malls or online shopping either with our ladies, girlfriends, homeboys, or even ourselves. We want to make sure the “WOW!” comes from compliments or looks from random people who we encounter on a daily basis, so why not focus on the body as a whole?
Yes, men, we do at times skip the most important feature - The MoneyMaker aka The Face. We will simply wet it, squeeze out the bodywash, and apply it to our face thinking we are cleaning it. We take our cars through a deep cleanse, so now let’s take the steps into clearing the dirt from our pores. Here are some skin care tips to make your MoneyMaker feel refreshed and renewed:

Cleanse your face - use the bar of soap for the body but buy a cleanser which suits your facial type - oily, sensitive, or dry. We sweat through our glands daily with our sporty activities, so get a grease-cut cleanser you can apply to your face at least once a day.
Exfoliate - Yes, gents...DO IT! This will help you get even a closer shave for the ladies to rub on. You can even use certain exfoliators to shave with, if not, rub in your exfoliator on your face and apply your manly shaving cream over it.
Moisturize - Get yourself a nice brand of lotion you can use. We get dry skin, so an oatmeal moisturizer will be key. To my friends who have to wear the sunscreen as well, no fear because there are plenty of moisturizer with SPF 15+; use whichever type your skin prefers.
Help out your eyes and lips - Spreading some lotion around the eyes won’t hurt either. Who wants the flaky skin around the eyes? Great to see no hands raised :). Lastly fellas, buy some chapstick and put it on both lips; not one and pucker them like the ladies.

I used Askmen.com as a resource. You can also take a quick peek:
Askmen.com - 5 Tips on Skincare

Now gents, you have 5 great tips to apply to your daily routine of fashion! You will now have the complete full package to impress yourselves as well as others!

I know you’re asking yourself: Where can I get these? It’s all coming soon, my friends...

Fashion and Style Boostrap Meeting in Austin

2010-09-20T10:18:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone,
I'm sure you all saw Keya's post about the next Style Subgroup meeting being at Cuba Libre at 6:30 on Tuesday. What we still need to say is that this meetings about creating the Austin fashion scene the way YOU want it to be and how we should approach it.
I want everyone who wants to have some input into this topic to attend. Please invite anyone you know who should be a part of this conversation. That goes for any designer, boutique owner, journalist, or anyone else who is actually part of the Austin fashion scene. We have so much talent in this town it's crazy. Let's do something with it together.
Our after-party will be at the Tribeza Fashion Week launch at by George. They are looking forward to hosting us, but unfortunately, Matt and Katy will be out of town. They will join the next round of the conversation.
Please make a point of attending. --Allen Beuershausen

Polo shirt and jacket / suite ?

2009-08-13T07:47:00.002-05:00

If you like to wear a Polo shirt under a suit / jacket, keep it untucked. Lot's of polo shirts out there are too long though. They are made for any size. You need to hem it to right around your waist line. Get help from a professional tailor!

Why is clothing alteration important for even guys?

2009-07-21T08:57:00.011-05:00

You might think that only ladies need alteration! You are wrong. Guys need alteration as much. About a quarter of my customers at my tailor shop (http://TailoredbyDesign.com) are men. The other quarter don't know why they need alteration services. My goal is to give you some tip and show you some reasons here in this article.

Looking and feeling your best could give you an edge in your social and business life. To look your best, you should invest in clothing alteration. You might come across someone who always look great! Men clothing options are very limited to polo shirts, tshirts, and button down shirts. The difference comes down to the fitment. Let me give you an example. You have invested on a Prestij shirt and getting ready to go out. The shirt seems a little too long for your body. To solve this issue, you decide to tuck it in and you look like you're ready to go to a work meeting. This could change your night!

These are some images of people needing alterations:

1- Jeans are too long on this image. It should just come staight down instead of having so many boulges

2- Have you paid attention how a nice fitted suit looks like in compasion to a large suit?

provided by http://www.huffingtonpost.com, "Is 5'7" John McCain Dressing For Defeat?"

and see how this one looks much better.

Stay away from long tshirt, polo shirt, and button down shirts. For example if your polo shirt is longer than 5 inches over your pants, there is a chance that it's too long. You can always ask the sales representative in stores to see if you need alterations.

Go for quality not quantity. Having a few nice shirts and pants that actually fit you right and look great on you is far better than having so many clothes that looks awful on you.

Over Plucked men don't look well put together

2009-07-21T08:55:00.003-05:00

Over-plucked men don't look well put together. Apparently It's easy for some guys to get carried away. Overdone and over-plucked guys are like women with too much makeup. Don't over do it! Get advice from your hairstylist! If you live in Austin or Los Angeles let me know and I'll refer you to a good hair stylist.
I'm glad "the Rock" is not doing it anymore! Before and After pics are attached. (pic is borrowed from imabeautygeek.com)

3-NO Shell accessories if you're not walking on the beach. No choker necklace for guys!!! please don't.
4-Faicial Hair: look around and see what's out there and what works for your face! get some suggestion from your hair stylist. It it's done right, it could compliment your face by fixing your jawline. If you have a baby face it could give you a little more confidence

6-YOUR UNDERSHIRT AND UNDERWEAR shouldn't be showing at any time. ANYTIME. Specially if you're wearing a woven shirt.
7-Don't POSE for your picture. Look natural, Relax, smile and BE YOURSELF. Someone told me once "SMILE WITH YOUR EYES" haha practice that!

If you need any fashion advice PLEASE ask me. I would be happy to help you personally!

Palm Pre is Amazing!

2009-06-08T10:15:00.003-05:00

For the first time in 10 years I stayed in a line to get a new gadget. It took me 4 hours staying in the line on Sat morning 6/6/09 to get couple of these phones but I feel it worth it. I'm very happy with the phone. the touch feature works without any error. It works every time. Everything makes sense and it's in the right place. It's so easy to sync your contact list with google contact list. I love the fact that i have a keyboard to use when I'm typing text massages and long emails. I consider myself an advance user so I had to combine my outlook, a few GMail accounts, etc. All this caused me some headaches.

Issues I have had so far:

1- Since i imported my contacts from GMail and I also saved them on Palm profile, I had duplicate of every contact. It was annoying to see the same phone numbers a few times. I decided to start all over and this time not to use palm and have all my contacts on GMail. To delete my Palm profile, I thought the best is to get on palm profile and erase my phone! Well Erase phone wasn't exactly what I thought it is. I think it actually deletes everything including operating system from your phone. It seems like its for when you lose your phone and you don't want your information in wrong hands. I called Sprint and they told me that I have bricked the phone. This feature bricks the phone remotely. I was told I have to go to the same store I bought the phone and return it for a new one. When I woke up in the morning, I tried to turn on the phone and it worked. It seemed like it downloaded it's operating system from a server? I'm not sure what happened but waiting some hours unlocked the phone.

2-I am using my company laptop to sync my Centro. When I tried using Data Transfer Assistant, It would tell me I have no information to transfer. Apparently, Data Transfer Assistant wasn't seeing my outlook 2003 and It was only seeing my Palm Desktop which it was empty. I called Sprint and they didn't know what the issue is. I removed Palm Desktop but that didn't help any. Data Transfer Assistant wasn't seeing my outlook 2003. I think maybe my outlook is somehow modified by my company and it's not exactly Outlook 2003?! :-)

I even checked my Internet option to make sure outlook is chosen as my primary email program. I reinstalled my Palm Desktop and I chose Palm Desktop as the software I want to use to maintain and sync my data with my Centro. I uploaded and synced my Centro with Palm Desktop and ran Data Transfer Assistant. This time it worked without any issue and all my records were transferred in the mater of a few seconds!!! Then on your phone it will ask you where do you want to transfer the data? I chose GMail because I want my contacts to be kept and maintain on GMail. I didn't use the Palm profile this time. If you choose Palm Profile, and you are still syncing your contacts with google as well, you will see two entries for every repeated phone number. For example if you go to John Smith on your contacts, it will show 512-349-1000 with a "g" logo for GMail and also with Palm logo as well. So everything is repeated.

prestijfashion is linked to all social networks

2009-05-31T20:44:00.002-05:00

Prestij fashion has been in social network for quite sometimes but we just added links to our Linkedin Myspace, Facebook, and Blogspot to the main page.

Palm Pre Phone will be available on June 6th

2009-05-20T10:37:00.006-05:00

I contacted Sprint yesterday and they told me that the Palm is available starting June 6th 2009. Palm Pre comes with a new OS that Palm developed. There is a demo version available that you can installed on your Palm phone to check out the operation system.

I think Palm Pre could potentially compete with iPhone.

Call sprint today and they will call you back on June 6th to process your order.

I encourage Prestij friends and employee to acquire this phone.

Bringing Men Some Prestij –

Austin ’s Keya Efatpanah

By Sean Claes / INsite Magazine

Sophisticated in a subtle way is how 28-year old engineer turned fashion designer Keya

Efatpanah describes Prestij (prestijfashion.com/)– a new line of men’s fashion he launched in Austin this past December. So, how does a University of Texas graduate with an electrical engineering degree get into the fashion game? “I have always been interested in fashion and clothing designs. I was looking for ways to combine my education, passion, interest, and work experience,” Efatpanah said. “From engineering I learned problem solving. Work taught me business and marketing, my tailor shop taught me about fabrication, manufacturing, and fabric. It was a natural fit.” The Prestij line is currently made up of about thirty different shirts, clearly for the discerning man who doesn’t want to look like 4 other guys in the room. “Clothing choices are much more limited for guys. I could never find anything I liked, and when I did, I’d go to a party and other guys would be wearing the same shirts, he said. “That was a let down every time.” Right now, you can see the Prestij line in person at Upstairs Men’s Wear (2110 S Lamar) in Austin, Project Fashion (2419 S Shepherd) in Houston and online at prestijfashion.com. He hopes to add lines in other cities as well as a few more boutiques in the Austin area. “I'm interested to work with other boutiques. I have enough shirts and styles to have unique products in different stores,” he said. The designs range from classic styles (May mán, Pünktchenmuster) to styles with a definite cultural flair to them (örn, söndag). The fabrics are all imported from Spain and Asia. “It’s beautiful to see people expressing their different cultures, background, and interests, he said. “For the same reason Prestij offers a variety in designs and options for each individual out there.” He explains that his own personal background and travels are expressed through the fashion as well. He’s included some lines that include American cities, and some that have a more international feel. “It is a beautiful world because of the coexistance of different cultures and races,” Efatpanah said. “As a Persian-American I love both cultures.” For the future, Efatpanah says he’s

working on a new line that is more “in sync with the Prestij philosophy” as well as a woman’s clothing line. “I’m promising a multi-cultural brand with design varieties from all around the globe,” he said. “That’s Prestij.”

söndag – $95.99

militära shirt – $94.99
