January 6th, 2010 Comments off

Last week Details.com was hot on the street doing "tweak" make-overs.   "Sunday" was seriously hooked up from shirt to shoe by Details; with yours truly, Alexander West featured as the the shirt upgrade.  Check it out here. Out with the vintage print tee and in with the Alexander West dress shirt under the blazer.  A minor tweak for you could be a something as subtle as a vintage belt buckle, a new bag or stylish new eyeglass frames. Being that we all need some minor adjustments in our overall day to day look, you won't have to look far with Details and Alexander West on your side.   Think of yourself or someone you know as the star that  needs a minor polishing.  Before you know it; you're outshining everyone else.
