Jul 30th, 2008 by Addy | 0

The 2008 elections are finally getting down to the wire, and delegates from all 50 states - or 57, if you’re voting for Obama! - are all ready to head to their respective conventions.

Politics is something we hold dear in America. Whether we’re hoping for a red state or a blue state, or cherishing fondness for elephants or donkeys, politics has become one of out favorite spectator sports. We even have T-shirts and bumper stickers bearing slogans for our hopefuls.

Jul 30th, 2008 by Addy | 0

Summer is here, and with this season you can expect to see a slew of summer weddings. Although most American workplaces don’t slow down for summer, the idea of “summer vacation” is so entrenched in our psyches from the earliest school days that many brides automatically incline toward the warmest months of the year when planning their weddings.

Cufflinks for the Summer Internship Interviews

Jul 11th, 2008 by Addy | 0

Ahhhh! Summer is upon us. Its time for endless days at the beach just basking in the sun without a care in the world. Let the sand run between your toes as you watch listless clouds float by. Crisp, cold drinks and iced beer make their frosty appearances as you take that first sip and wonder how you ever worried about silly things like bills and final exams.

Get Dear Old Dad \”Linked In\” For Father\’s Day

Jun 9th, 2008 by Addy | 0

With Father’s Day looming on the horizon like a big Death Star, it’s time to sit back and think hard about what you’ll be offering Dad this year as total compensation for his years of paying for your Garanimals, Sugar Pops, and education.

I know nothing will ever top - in your mind - the beer hat you bought him when you were 12 or the World’s Best Dab coffee mug you made in kindergarten, when you still weren’t always batting 100% on that whole confusing difference between ‘d’ and ‘b.’ But you’ve grown up now, and it’s really time that you do for dad what you’d expect anyone else to do for you - buy a gift that will make a stylish statement and have meaning for many years to come.

Cufflinks For The Wedding Party

Jun 4th, 2008 by Addy | 0

A man’s life and the lives of those he calls his best friends come in distinct stages. There’s the late elementary school stage when a boy and his friends all realize that girls aren’t really cootie-ridden after all. This is immediately followed by the middle school stage when they all lose their boyish voices simultaneously and start speaking like real men and not little girls. The high school stage is marked by the beginnings and endings of young blossoming romance, hand holding, and of course…kissing. In the college stage, there are more serious relationships, some fantastic, others troubling. Then it’s on into the 20s (and sometimes even the 30s) when it seems all of the guy friends start getting engaged and married. Invitations start popping out right and left, there’s a new bachelor party every other weekend, best men are chosen, tuxedos are fitted, and some of history’s best toasts are crafted.

Cufflinks For The Right Occasion

May 15th, 2008 by Addy | 0

I must say, I really don\’t trust people who don\’t read in the bathroom. Our bathroom at home is filled with reading material; from Oprah magazines to a true-crime book (my disgusting guilty pleasure), to my husband\’s history book (his not-so disgusting guilty pleasure) and his GQ magazines. When I have read my magazines one too many times, or when my current true-crime book is finished, my last resort is to skim through his GQ magazines (only because I cannot see myself getting into the Industrial Revolution and how it profoundly impacted the socioeconomic situation in America during the 19th century, no matter how bored I get). It is then that I realize that GQ is my husband\’s fashion bible. From the way he wears his jacket and tie to the casual shoes he sports to the fashionable dress shoes he always eyes at the department store; it is all right there on those cologne laden glossy pages. So, instead of searching aimlessly online or scouring magazines, I just have to pick my husband\’s fashion-oriented brain. My question to him was how to determine what type of cufflinks to wear on different occasions. Look online and you\’ll find plenty of cufflinks options; playful cufflinks, traditional cufflinks and even cufflinks that are made to look like old 45 records. If you can imagine it, it is probably out there in the form of a cufflink. But would it be okay to wear those classic electric guitar cufflinks to, say, a job interview? Is there an etiquette for these things? What\’s appropriate? And when is it appropriate?
