Mustache Chic

 

Once considered a fuzzy faux pas, donning a mustache is now the growing trend (no pun intended) for males and females alike. While growing facial hair may be off-limits for the ladies, accessorizing with a mustache is most certainly not. Thanks to the collaboration between the Snyder sisters, who are behind the jewelry label Dannijo, and Leandra Medine, the voice of the Man Repeller, us ladies can now be au courant with the mustached mania.

Wearing mustaches as accessories is another means of incorporating male character into female style. Back in August of this year, Dannijo and the Man Repeller teamed up to launch Mr. Dannijo, a collection of spunky, menswear-inspired jewelry. What's special about the collection is its innovative approach on menswear. Traditional menswear pieces are those that men already wear, like blazers or watches, and are then recreated for women. However, the pieces that make up Mr. Dannijo are jewelry in which male motifs are simply inspiration. The collection redefines menswear as the introduction of masculine embellishments to feminine accessories.

No other piece in the collection fully embodies this notion of menswear and the mustache trend better than "Salvador." Mr. Dannijo's most popular piece combines facial hair and jewelry in a creative way, sans fuzz. Available in brass or silver, this unexpectedly chic mustache will be your companion during Movember, and it will allow you to stay trendy this season while saving the stubble for your better half.

Target For Missoni Sweeps Us Off Our Feet

Remember when the designer collaborations with Target were brand spanking new and we all had a real reason to get to Target besides to purchase an unhealthy number of toiletries? Ah, the golden years, when those highly anticipated capsule collabs were something to be talked about and on some occasions, to camp in front of your local Target before opening hours. Alas, after a few major misses with some promising designers (not naming names here), it seems as though the enthusiasm of said collections began to wane – like dating a majorly cute guy whose hilarious jokes are getting less and less funny with every date.

It’s not that we were planning to break up with Target (those collections have left us with some of the best affordable shopping frenzies in history) but being swept off our feet again, couldn’t hurt either. Looks like the romance is more than back with the biggest designer collaboration in Target history - and with Missoni , nonetheless.

With over 400 pieces, the collection includes swimwear, luggage, men’s ties, and an iPad case as well as treats for the wee ones, on top of a huge assortment of women’s apparel. But best of all has to be the Missoni for Target bike – trust, we’d wait days in line for this bad boy! And with the release date of September 13th coming right up, we’ve got just enough time to get our camping gear in order.

Bass x Rachel Antonoff: There's No Shame In Being Girly

Taking interest in the royal wedding (don't even pretend not to know) and gushing over cute kittens may be considered for the weak. Thanks to Alexander Wang, bright-eyed romantics have been pushed aside even in fashion, where tough, I-don't-give-a-fuck downtown chic still reigns in vogue. Sometimes however, it's nice to embrace your sweet, non-swearing feminine side. This is where Rachel Antonoff's collaboration with Bass comes in. Known for her frilly and playful designs, Antonoff created a collection for the century-and-a-half old footwear company that can bring out the girly side in the most rebellious of chicks. Floral details, ladylike bows, and fine craftsmanship are just some of the remarkable features of these vintage-inspired kicks. So go ahead, drop the leather jacket and give those dominatrix boots a rest. Allow yourself to get giddy as you stain your lips red, wear a flower in your hair, sport one of these and for heaven's sake, let the lucky boy pay for your dinner for once.
