"Come Join the Commonwealth, where every man should have a firm handshake, great haircut, and a well made suit"

Anthony Keegan, designer and friend of Derek Loves Shopping is the visionary behind the Commonwealth man. He has worked for some of the biggest designers in Milan and NYC-Versace, DSquared, Paul Smith, Giorgio Armani, Donna Karen, and Kennthe Cole, just to name a few. For Fall 2009 he showed his first collection during Fashion Week, receiving rave reviews. His Spring Collection was showcased at Astor Barber Shop with an emphasis on handmade suits and tanks. This Fall we can expect for the line to be more masculine, think "Office and a Gentleman."

You can find Commonwealth-Utilities here in NYC at Saks Fifth Avenue, Odin Lafayette and Camoflage. Please visit their website www.commonwealth-utilities.com to find other locations in your city.

We aren’t talking about food so don’t get crazy.

Scarves is what we mean. They are a huge accessory trend this season and for the record, they are not just for Winter!!!

An inexpensive way to brighten up your outfit, wear the scarf as a head-wrap, around your neck, or as a shawl for those chilly evenings.

We found these adorable light polka-dot scarves for you at Gap for only $29.50.

You wear these out, you will be a HEAD TURNER!!!!

Joss Stone knows what were talking about!!!

Look at what we found on Ohlala!!! The Brian Atwood Spring 2009 campaign is FIERCE!!!! It is one of our favorites for this season. We just wish we had a spell to snatch that clutch out of her hand! For more than one reason ; )
