Presents that mean more to women

30 Dec

Last Christmas I got my girlfriend a gift card to Express, a pretty trendy spot and a place that I know she loves to shop at. Worst idea ever. I blew over $300 on the gift card and she did not react at all how I expected. $300! I couldn’t believe it, and then I talked to one of my friends who is a girl and she was surprised by how naïve I was. Naïve? I didn’t understand, and so she explained to me that my girlfriend didn’t really care how much the gift card had on it, she just recognized it as a sign that I didn’t know her at all and didn’t understand her style. This then sort of made sense to me, so I decided to do a little experiment the next time around.

Instead of spending $300, I spent half, on a brand new pair of rain boots that had been recommended to me by that same friend. I have to admit, they looked pretty cool and after I bought them I noticed a lot of really trendy and stylish girls walking around in similar types of boots. I found them in a winter boots for women section of a magazine to order them, and it was also my girlfriend’s magazine! Anyway, after I gave her my gift she was completely ecstatic and couldn’t believe I knew what I was doing. She expected another gift card and instead, she told me she was “impressed with my sense of fashion”. Haha, what a turn around. This was life changing for me as I had always viewed products value as directly related to the amount of money it takes to attain that product. I have learned since that women carry much more sentimental value in the things they wear and use.

Varieties of Mens Cologne

01 Dec

Women always want their dream men to look good, do well, and absolutely smell good. However, not all men are blessed with good looks and nice build that will find women very attractive. Hence the presence of hunks, geeks, nerds, boyish, and all other descriptions given to different men that possess different and distinct attributes. Also, mens cologne is in the market to back up those other assets that a man lacks in order to attract a woman.

Looking back as to how colognes first began, let us go back to the year 1700s in which the product is known to have been made by two Italians and recorded to have originated in Cologne, Germany. Colognes are available for both men and women. However, the majority of the colognes available in the market are for men. It is said that men’s cologne line has 80 more brands compared to that of women. Men’s cologne varies in different scents and packaging details for a distinct smell and look. Typically men’s cologne has airy scents like citrus and musk while some has woody whiff to exude an aura of masculinity and strength. Research shows that women whose men use different colognes for different occasions have the tendency to remember their man most of the time as compared to those who have the same smell all year through. On the other hand, it is quite undeniable that men are vain when it comes to choosing their scent. Most of the time, attracting women is the ulterior motive of men buying designer colognes. Hence, the most salable men’s cologne is designer colognes since these have lasting effect compared to cheaper ones. Also, designer colognes are still ideal even when applied in the tiniest amount. I bet every attractive guy knows that the collections from Hugo Boss or Giorgio Armani can effectively do that.

The Simple Fashion Choice for Men: French Cuff Dress Shirts

17 Nov

When it comes to fashion, most men like to keep it simple, so the idea of dealing with the options that go with mens french cuff dress shirts can seem a little daunting. Perhaps the lowdown on your options will help you overcome your reservations and look your best in your french cuff dress shirt. In the last decade, our society has grown to expect men to dress fashionable – but there still is a lack of fashion-information for men, compared to the huge amounts of information available to women. So in case you are lost: you’re not alone!
While some men try to compensate for their lack of fashion-knowledge by just buying the most expensive shoes, the most expensive watch and a nice jacket, there are others that seem to have mastered the art of dressing well without having to spend too much money. This bit of information will help you to get started on that way too:

Cufflinks or Silk Knots?
Cufflinks are a classic and sophisticated option for french cuff shirts. You can be creative and match colored cufflinks to your shirt, tie or other accessoires you are wearing. You can also go a fancier route and buy gold ones, this may be a good idea if your job requires frequent appearance at formal occasions. If you’re really at a loss and are confused by all the options, keep it simple and go with silver. It matches everything and can be worn on any occasion. Silk knots are a bit more budget friendly and are a good option if you feel too bold in cufflinks.

“Kissing” or “Barrel”?
Kissing and barrel are two ways to wear french cuffs. The kissing style is the most common. In the case the insides of the ends of the cuff are touching. This gives the shirt a more classic look perfect for formal affairs like meetings or a day at the office. With the barrel, the ends of the cuff overlap, giving the appearance of a normal two-button cuff. This style can be worn for informal situations.

Fashion Perks for Everyone

08 Nov

When you’re feeling down and in the dumps, one way to perk you up is to wear something that is bright and colorful to lift up your spirits and welcome hope and happiness back into your life. Others may opt to match a dreary outfit using a bright bag or some killer accessories, and still some others may opt to wear something daring yet highly fashionable such as turquoise shoes, or any other bright color to that effect.

Turquoise high heel shoes are one of the must haves a woman should find in her closet. I for one have these shoes, aside from other countless accessories such as bracelets and necklaces of the same color. You see, turquoise can match any outfit or skin color – it can be for something laid back such as the beach and it can also be for something sexy and daring such as in a posh club. In addition, it sparks an interest to other people as the color itself is quite alluring, thus adding an extra oomph to your strut as well as your confidence. It can attract a lot of stares as you walk down the street and it can also be a flattering piece of color to your current ensemble.

For shoes, it can be great with a pair of skinny jeans or even a short skirt or shorts. Dress up with some make up and a floral blouse and you’re good to go. Of if you want to be more demure, then a dress that reaches to your knees will go nicely with a pair of turquoise heels. It’s pretty much up to you on how you want to dress up or pair up your outfit, as long as you remember to wear something comfortable and it suits your body perfectly.

Five False Truths with the Black Leather Purse

03 Nov

The use of leather purses has been evident centuries ago by women who wanted to portray and exude a sense of wealth and prestige in society. Nowadays, this is freely used by commoners and elites alike and enjoyed by anyone who has one of these black beauties. In relation to this accessory, here are some common false beliefs which must be clarified.

Black leather purses together with black shoes only. This is a common mistake among many individuals, perhaps by those who were already strut their stuff during the 80’s. It was as this time when black shoes were the in-style for those who wanted to make a mark in the social setting. However, we are already about 3 decades further in time and that notion has been history. It still goes well with other kinds of footwear.

Monochrome outfit is the way. There was also a time when fashion veered to monochromatic attires, in which black leather handbags were the main accessory to use. While it may be a cool and balanced way of coordination colors, the present fashion sense does not limit these little black things to be used with any other color. In fact, mixing it with other colors present a high degree of adaptability to the overall get-up.

Plastic is the best protection. Many are falsely led to believe that by covering the black leather purses with a water resistant material such as plastic would protect it from damage. This is quite contrary. Plastic still allows moisture to build up within and prevents it from frying out, causing spots and fungal infestation. Allow it to breathe and use cloth instead.

Only leather craftsmen can fix cracks. Thanks to modern technology, rubber cement has been found out to be a quick solution to seal off cracks on leather due to wear and tear. This saves you the hassle of bringing it to a shop to have it fixed, as well as expense.

A black leather purse are for women. This is actually not the case anymore as Europe and some parts of Asia have started making black leather purses for men, and is slowly gaining a following.

Fashion Jewelry for the Modern Man

22 Oct

Men wear fashion jewelry because they want to make a statement about themselves. Understand what they want to say and you will be able to pick the perfect piece of jewelry for them. Just five years ago everybody was selling the same old silver and gold jewelry for men in the same designs that your father or even grandfather would have worn. So what were young men to wear if they wanted to express a more sophisticated masculinity to that of the older generations? The only option back in the day was a trench coat and top hat. Or they could wear their wedding ring. However, in those days, men wore very little jewelry since it was the women who took care of that department.

Suddenly new super cool fashion jewelry started to be made in materials like stainless steel and titanium. This instantly redefined men’s fashion jewelry. Because of the strength and durability of the materials new shapes and designs are now possible. These materials were so strong you could wear them all the time without fear of damage. It became the ultimate expression of masculinity, strength and style with a fit and forget usability. These materials also have the benefit of being hypo allergenic and suitable for the most sensitive of skin.

The best news of all is these materials are relatively inexpensive compared to silver and gold and so the prices are also fantastic. Men’s fashion jewelry has seen a rebirth in recent years with loads of new cool designs in rings, bracelets and necklaces. A lot of the more traditional jewelry shops haven’t woken up to this new phenomenon yet so you might have to shop around some independent retailers. And the best place to shop is on the web given the selection, prices, and convenience. There is nothing like sitting down to your laptop or i-pad and finding a nice piece of fashion jewelry for yourself.
