An affordable well-made tie…if that’s what you’re in to. Wear this bad boy with just about anything: dress it up with a gray suit or dress it down with a corduroy blazer. This is what we call a closet staple, men.

The Tie Bar

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010


Chicago Time Out recently did a Fall fashion guide which we loved because their models looked great and were wearing, for the most part, very affordable clothes!! We constantly see GQ, Esquire, Details and other media sources showing us great looking clothes that most of us will never be able to afford (but keep reading the LKc Style blog for more affordable look-alikes!). We noticed this great spread on ties and specifically wanted to point out TheTieBar for affordable tie options including their Tie Of The Month Club.

Where have you been buying your ties lately???? LKc Style wants to know!!

Ties on Survivor?

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

From CBS

So, we haven’t seen every minute of every season of Survivor like Jimmy Johnson has, but we don’t think suiting up for the Nicaraguan beach will help start any fires…but, looking good anyway, Sash. Perhaps, try some swim trunks next time…

Is anyone still watching this show? Do you think the young or old team will win out this season?


Parke & Ronen Striped Swim Trunk 50% off for $49!
