MARCELLAS’ FIVE FAVORITE THINGS: F/W 2009 EDITION.

In my search for all things hip and new here are five of the things that are rocking my world right now. Five things that I can’t, repeat can not live without! They make me happy.

FOR YOUR MUG:

menscience

MenScience Daily Face Wash. This cleanser with glycolic and salicylic acids, aloe and allantoin, leaves your face super clean, soft and smooth and isn’t as drying as bar soap. It lightly exfoliates and tones. The packaging is cool, a bit clinical and very male. It doesn’t scream, “GIRL!” like something your mama (or fag hag) would use by Clinique or Lancome.

FOR YOUR ASS:

custom_blue

Custom made boxers by Birds. They are the best fitting, most comfortable boxers ever made. Every detail of design, cut, fit and fabric is perfect. Birds Boxers are hand sewn and made of a two-ply, 160 thread-count Sea Island cotton, which is arguably the most luxurious cotton available. They have mother of pearl buttons and a single-needle stitch sewing technique. They are classic yet uber-modern and very chic.

habitual

Habitual is a super cool denim line that the truly hip in LA are wearing.  From Ashton Kutcher to Jessica Alba to Katie Holmes to Josh Duhamel, they are the anti True Relgion (passe) and Rock & Republic (too tricky). The jeans are hand sanded, triple washed and each pocket is sewn on by hand. Everyone needs a pair of dark denim jeans with no rips, minimal distressing or whiskering. That is so 2002.

And one more thing; men should never, ever, under any circumstance wear a skinny jean! Men in skinny jeans look like fat girls in denim leggings. Yep, you look like a bitch. And a fashion victim.

FOR OVER IT ALL:

pea-coat

A pea coat. A fall/winter classic staple, nothing is better than a pea coat.  Originally worn by sailors in blue, the term pea really refers to the original fabric. You can of course run out to your neighborhood military surplus store but every season designers do updated versions. This season I love the long pea coat from Unis New York. And of course the Michael Kors!

FOR FUN:

novophone2

Novophone Retro Mobile Phone Handset. The Novophone is a genuine, old-school handset rewired to be compatible with any mobile phone. It’s just so funny and cute. Perfect for walking around your house chatting and a great conversation starter on the street. I got it for my birthday a year ago and it was just the coolest gift ever.

So that’s my current fab five. The five things I’m loving above all else this moment! Check ’em out, they rock!
