Charlie Lapson Designs Accessories Fit for the Stars

He’s hip, he's a jet setter, and he's a wanted man. Charlie Lapson is a designer for the people and finds inspiration in an array of ways that appeal to just about everyone. Even if this is the first time you are hearing his name, I guarantee that it will not be the last.

Lapson is an alum of the New York School of Visual Arts, where he studied fine arts like painting and sculpting, and he was been able to successfully parlay those fine refined skills into fashion design while at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Soon, he started to make a name for himself by creating his own signature line for the New York social and retail scene, having had a hand in the resurrection of Bugle Boy clothing! (Yes, those ARE Bugle Boys he's wearing, thanks for asking!)

These days, Charlie is the mastermind behind his own line of luxurious accessories for men and women such as bags, jewelry, and watches. He even designs super stylish wallets, and I should know, because I have one in my back pocket right now. Lapson’s list of celebrity clientele includes names like Brad Pitt, Felicity Huffman, Halle Berry, Will Smith, Anne Hathaway, and the list goes on. And it's no surprise either, since Charlie’s consistently unique creations are made of the highest quality products, like leathers from Italy and the finest jewels. More than just something to keep your money in or check the time with -- they are works of art!

 

If you are a what’s hot/what’s not kind of person, then it is imperative that you get acquainted with Charlie Lapson -- he’s the “Style Guru” after all!

Hoodie Buddie is the New BFF for Portable Music Lovers

 

iPods are great, but too often iPods and clothing just don't mix. The sheer mechanics of keeping your earplugs tangle-free and your iPod out of dropping or snatching sight can be a pain. Don't even get me started on the whole threading-from-underneath-and-out-the-top-of-your-shirt thing...

Fortunately, I recently discovered the Hoodie Buddie, a relationship where form truly follows function. In the front pocket of this new must-have hoodie there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack which connects to your MP3, iPod, smartphone, or anything with the appropriate outlet. Once you are all plugged in, the next step to enjoying your jams is inserting the BUILT-IN earphones, which are attached to the ends of the drawstrings of the hood and into your ears. And there you have it -- Tangle and Drop-free!

If you are now thinking of all the time you've "accidentally" forgotten to remove your iPod during washing and ended up with a soggy MP3 player and ruined earbuds, well, check this out -- the Hoodie Buddie is machine-washable! Sounds almost too good to be true, right? Well, it’s not -- Along with producing a sustainable product, there are an array of colors and styles to choose from for men and women. There is even a Hoodie Buddie collection featuring Betty White where you can wear her face around while proceeds help benefit the Morris Animal Foundation.

Hoodie Buddie puts it best: “Just remember -- We are all connected, and united we rock.”
