Check 1, check 2...

"Check 1"

Nothing beats the statement made by a well tailored light-weight jacket with a bold pattern (See image above and below for tailored styles from the good folks at Sciamat in Italy). Note... this style choice isn't for the faint of heart. A jacket like this tells the world that you dance to the beat of your own drum, so make beats... life is good, but living is better.

Can you trust a big butt and a smile?

   

In 1990, "Poison," the hit single by Bell Biv DeVoe had the prophetic lyrics "Never trust a big butt and a smile." These words were etched in the minds of hip-hop heads across the globe, and for many they became the catalyst for "tail watching."

The good folks at Taschen have provided the definitive guide for butt connoisseurs with the forthcoming (The) Big Butt Book. This book is sure to make even the most discriminating gentleman ask, can you trust a big butt and a smile? More pics after the jump.

Nicholas K Spring/Summer 2010

  

Nicholas K is the line from brother and sister team of Nicole and Christopher Kunz. The line features menswear and womenswear, but we're especially thrilled about the fit and styling of the menswear. The brand has found a formula that feels just right. The fit is trim and sheds excess without "cracking nuts." We also like the modern twist on classics like the shawl-neck sweaters, and anorak jackets. See more looks from Nicholas K after the jump.

This collection personifies the notion of First Street Style that "life is good, but living is better!"
