Gift Giving Made Easy – She’s Got the Look

Didn’t want the ladies to feel completely left out this year so I enlisted the help of a fashonista and friend of mine to put a little something together for my female readers. She gets the chance to have fun and play Internet dress up and I get the chance to act like I don’t know anything about women’s fashion. Men, don’t just glaze over, these are last minute ideas for you.

Unfortunately, by the time of posting, most of her picks are sold out.

Christmas Music – Day 4

Needing something a little more contemporary to get through the week? Here’s 5 tracks that should fit the bill. The first three are on a pretty steady rotation around our house.

And yes, there’s an Owl City track that sounds pretty much like Owl City but I bet if you give it 3 listens you’ll add it to the rotation as well.

1. Colbie Caillat – Mistletoe

Gift Giving Made Easy – Black is the new Black

Men, we should dress like men. Here’s a little guide to looking your best in gray/black and making your significant others’ knees buckle in the process. Feel free to show up your boss and/or wear it out for a nice evening. Also, some of these are completely out of everyone’s price range, I realize that. Use it as a guide.
