J'Adore or Abhor? Men's Edition

J'adore or Abhor?

Jesse Williams

I normally don't do too many posts for the gents but its about time that I should. I came across this picture of the oh so sexy, delicious and delectable (the more serious it is the more syllables you have to use) Jesse Williams from Grey's Anatomy (which I'm obsessed with), however, I'm not sure how I feel about it? Do we love it or hate it? J'adore or Abhor?



Let me know your thoughts.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Men's Watches

My godfather always told me never trust a man that doesn't wear a watch. A man without a watch is a sign of a man that has nowhere to be. I was much younger when he told me that and thought it was silly but now I agree. I often find myself looking at a man's wrist to see if he's wearing a watch.

Men Shawl Collar Sweaters

I feel that I haven't posted in eons but I had to talk about this. If anyone knows me personally they know that I am a sucker for a man in a cardigan. More specifically I love shawl collar sweaters on men. I think they look absolutely yummy and delectable.

A friend of mine asked on twitter last week about where to find a nice but inexpensive one. (Hey Kaleb! Make sure you all follow him on twitter.)I immediately started to think about all the places that have very nice quality shawl collar sweaters for men at various prices. I found an array of options ranging from $44-$295.

Fave Men's Fragrance

At this moment my favorite men's fragrance is Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme. Oh my its so delicious! I took one whiff of it and I immediately closed my eyes and went to another world. Its the kind of scent that makes an aesthetically challenged man look appealing. I definitely recommend purchasing this fragrance for a boyfriend, husband, or brother. 

Me personally I wouldn't buy it for my father because I wouldn't want him smelling this delicious. Plus I'm such a daddy's girl I would want to hug him or cuddle with him and I'm "feeling some type of way" while around him.

Show Him You Love Him

Ok so I can't only think about the ladies for Valentine's Day. The fellas need a little love as well. If you don't know what to get the beau, or whomever you desire to gift, I have a few ideas for you. I like to get gifts that are personal but functional at the same time. Its just my opinion, but I think guys like gifts that they can use. Get him something that he can use a lot and he will think of you every time he touches it.

Wallets and Money clips: I don't know about you but I despise, detest and abhor seeing a man not having his money organized. It really rubs me the wrong way. Please have your cards organized and don't have your money balled up. And gentlemen lets have a wallet that isn't falling apart.

If you go for a money clip, make it a little more personal and get his initials engraved on it. I think he would really like it.

Ties: IF your man wears a tie, pick up a few that you think he would like, or some that you would like to see him in. When buying a tie look to see if they have the ties displayed on a table with suggested shirt options. Sometimes they look good by themselves but you find out there is nothing for it to go with. Try buying the tie and shirt combos together, possibly giving him multiple shirt options for more ties. This can help the man who doesn't find it that easy to pull his wardrobe together without your help.

Dog tags: For your stylish but sporty guy who may not generally wear jewelry, try getting him some dog tags. D&G has stylish but simple silver dog tags for men that are reasonably priced.

Diffuser: Its just a nice way of saying potpourri or home fragrance. Find a nice masculine smell that you can live with as well. It doesn't look like you average feminine looking wall plug in. It serves as an accent in the room as well as a pleasant smell you both can enjoy.
