The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards delivered a glam-worthy red carpet! Like the Oscar's red carpet last February where all the celebs were so polished, the Emmys did not disappoint with many more fashion hits than misses. The red carpet brought a lot of glamorous variety by way of strapless, off the shoulder, one shoulder, sheers, trains, sequins, vibrant color, pattern, solids, body con, flowing and plenty of tuxedos, including on some of the ladies.  (Photos: Getty Images)

THE NEW AUGMENTED-REALITY NAIL POLISH TRY-ON APP FROM SALLY HANSEN

ManiMatch™ DELIGHTS USERS WITH NEW INSTANT-SCAN TECHNOLOGY, 3D AUGMENTED REALITY TRY-ON OVER 200 SALLY HANSEN SHADES AND PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS IN REAL TIME

Building on next-generation augmented reality technology, Sally Hansen the #1-selling nail color and nail care brand in the US is transforming the shopping experience with the new ManiMatch™ mobile app. Users can try on the rainbow of over 200 Sally Hansen nail polish shades in real time, on their nails, before they buy. A simple scan of the user’s hand from any smartphone enables the user to instantly consider and curate her own color choices. There’s no uploading, picture-taking or manual data entry, as the app works in real time. It also generates personalized-for-her-skin-tone color suggestions on demand; using cutting-edge, proprietary technology, the app senses and analyzes the pigments in each user’s hand, then matches its polish-shade suggestions to the ones optimally flattering to her skin.

Choosing the perfect shade is traditionally both the most fun and the most difficult aspect of shopping for nail color; consumers surreptitiously dab color onto a single or several nails to approximate how given shades might look on their hands in relation to skin tones, mood or outfit. ManiMatch™ flips the trial-only-post-purchase shopping experience that has always frustrated nail color shoppers, transforming the process into a moment of discovery, excitement and pleasure. “The app is addictive; everyone who tries it can’t stop herself from checking out more options,” says Jeremy Lowenstein, Sally Hansen Global Marketing Vice President. “The fact that you see exactly how a color will look on your own hands is just pure fun—and incredibly useful. People end up experimenting with shades they’d never normally try.” “The innovative technology uses bespoke skin tone analysis and an algorithm to map the hand.” – says Kristen D’Arcy, Global Digital Vice President. “It tracks the individual nuances of the user’s hands, analyzes skin tone, finds the nail beds, and photo-realistically simulates our nail polish shades, with shine: the finished manicure appears instantly on the user’s hand. ManiMatch™ generates shade suggestions across all Sally Hansen’s product lines, including Miracle Gel, Complete Salon Manicure, Insta-Dri and Xtreme Wear, so users can easily navigate and experience every color they desire.”

The launch of this app coincides with the release of the new Miracle Gel® Top Coat and new fashionable shades. Available for download for free on iOS platforms when it launches September 2015 (and select Android devices later in fall), ManiMatch™ is poised to revolutionize nail color shopping, both in store and ecommerce. Sally Hansen will host a kick-off consumer event in NYC to introduce the app. The first users to share the experience with a friend will have a chance to become the next Sally Hansen hand model for Sally Hansen social media.

The Four Straps You Need In Your Watch Collection

Milanese Loop

Simplified Leather

Nylon & Canvas Straps

Rubber Sport Bands

Usually the first thing a guy notices when picking out a new watch is the face. With so many different displays, colors, designs, etc.—and now the option of smart watches—the face offers the most variety and will be the most noticeable component of any time piece. But somewhat subtly, the number of choices you have in your watch strap has also increased in recent years, and there are a lot of popular styles today that might have been considered slightly unconventional just a decade ago. So forget about traditional clunky leather straps and the boring, ordinary chain link bracelets. Here are four edgier strap options that any thorough watch collector (or just stylish guy) should consider snatching up.

Milanese Loop

The Milanese Loop is my favorite alternative to regular chain metal straps, in that it serves some of the same basic functions (namely, it can be dressed up or dressed down, and it's metal), without all the chunkiness. Reviewing the Apple Watch Milanese Loop (which is largely responsible for bringing the strap back to the mainstream), Apple Vis called it "a pleasure to wear" and compared its feel to that of "a soft bath towel." If that doesn't intrigue you, then you must just not prioritize comfort! Milanese Loops do tend to feel almost liquid-like due to their delicate, woven mesh designs. They're lightweight and easily adjustable, which makes them very convenient as well. One tip: don't wear one too tightly. It can be less comfortable and also looks a little too formal.

Simplified Leather

Most ordinary leather watch straps have stitching along their edges, and in many cases (I'd argue most), it can make the center of the strap appear somewhat puffed up. This problem is completely avoided in what I like to call simplified leather straps: lighter, more casual leather bands that are increasingly popular of late. These straps are more uniform, less bulky, and absolutely ideal for casual wear. Lyst's section on men's watches demonstrates that they can also cater to a number of different styles of watch face, and they can be more formal as well (as in the case of a chic Shore Projects watch with a white face and simplified black leather strap).

Nylon & Canvas Straps

This is a style I borrowed from Gear Patrol, which did a really cool write-up on some custom watch strap designers, including one who specializes in "tool" watches designed with military grade, fabric straps. Specifically, this refers to the kind of tightly woven nylon and canvas straps (often pale brown or army green in color) that have long been popular in various military divisions and NASA. If you're looking for a more rugged option to have around, this carries a very masculine fashion appeal along with it.

Rubber Sport Bands

Apple has also made this watch strap popular in the past year or so, with iPhone DJ calling it "incredibly comfortable" (and noting that it's actually made out of something called fluoroelastomer, not rubber). But Apple isn't the only brand producing this strap. The truth is that rubber, silicone, and similar materials have long been a great choice for those with athletic concerns, and lately they're more necessary than ever given the trend toward watch use in workout routines. If you're active, one of these belongs in your collection.

Adding these four options to your standard leather and chain link straps will give you a perfectly diversified watch strap collection. It's a great way to make sure you always have a watch for any given occasion or use.

Valentino Haute Couture

Lupita just took my breath away! You?? I mean... seriously, she is absolutely stunning in her Vogue Magazine spread. It's her second time gracing the coveted cover. The images shot for the October issue of Vogue by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott left me in a daze. They're just fabulous. So exquisite! They're serious and they're jovial at the same time. Oh how I wish I would have been there! And talking about serious, Valentino, Gaultier, Schiaparelli, just to name a few of the amazing labels Lupita made her own. She just seems so natural, elegant, graceful. Lupita talks about "Hollywood and Fashion" in the Vogue article, which I will read after I stop swooning over the photos.

Look through the photos in the slideshow above and tell me which are your faves! I am obsessing over the Dolce & Gabbana cape, the image of Lupita in Elsa Schiaparelli's apartment, the jaw-dropping red Valentino gown and the photo with the Gaultier sculpted skirt. I can't pick a favorite!

Onepiece Debuts SLOW / MOTION Collection for Autumn/Winter 2015

Globally recognized and celebrity adored leisurewear brand, Onepiece, is proud to announce the launch of their ‘SLOW/MOTION’ collection for Autumn/Winter 2015. The collection pairs an updated, futuristic, technical styling with unparalleled quality for a full line of men’s, women’s and unisex separates, outerwear and accessories, as well as numerous updated styles of the brand’s infamous jumpsuits.

SLOW / MOTION was inspired by the duality of expression, as something that moves fast but is seen slow. With a keen attention to fine detailing, texture and silhouette, the collection inspires people to take time to appreciate the extraordinary within the ordinary. Only by slowing down the fast pace of life, and analyzing the world on a smaller, slower scale, are people able to find and expose their individuality and be comfortable in living outside the norm. Onepiece sees this comfort as empowering and believes that it is comfort that brings confidence. Therefore, comfort is a major cornerstone to most achievements and the foundation to the SLOW / MOTION collection.

“Eight years ago, Onepiece was founded as an anti-fashion concept based around the art of slacker counter-culture. We were fed up with the social stress of the post y2k era, where people seemed to measure their worth with how busy and important they were. Fashion was laser sharp, bodies were supposed to be perfectly trimmed and our hearts were supposed to be cold as ice. We wanted to be the opposite of that. We wanted everything that fashion wasn’t. We offered a single product with a single cut. We had nothing to do with the fashion industry, and we wanted to be as far from it as possible. Our rebellion took the world by storm, and our jumpsuits quickly grew from an underground movement to a worldwide phenomenon” explained Onepiece Co-Founder Thomas Martin Adams. “Now that Onepiece has grown into the global brand it is today, we too have done some maturing. Maybe we are a bit less naive, as we certainly carry less of an anti-statement these days. We believe that the SLOW / MOTION collection perfectly captures the growth and updated aesthetic of the Onepiece brand, without losing site of the confident, strong, unique and independent personalities that we have always been inspired by.”

Nigel's Ralph Lauren pants could have fit better but I'll give him a pass since his Tallia Orange blazer was smashing.
