Gifts for Men: New addition, Kenneth Cole Loafers

Being that my nick name, given by my Fiance, is the fashion stalker, I felt obligated to post this link to the loafers that I have been waiting to drop in price for the last 6 months. The price for these loafers is now $52.49, I first saw them this summer and when they went on sale at the Kenneth Cole store, I was too late because they had already run out of my size. These are the perfect casual Friday, year around loafers. Slacks, a button down shirt, and blazer, with these loafers is a no brainer. Check them out, I would advise you to hurry because sizes tend to run out quickly on this site.

Gifts for men #10, Levis & Ralph Lauren Polos


Last but not least are gifts #10 through >>>

I chose standard Levis and Ralph Lauren polos as my last items on my list. These items are always needed throughout the year. Blue denim jeans, and polos in different colors, how can a man go wrong with these 2 gifts.

Standard color polos that all men need
White
Black
Navy
Grey

Gifts for men #9, Uggz House Slippers

Since my fiance swears by the boots, I figure that the slippers must be legitimate. Go to nordstroms.com, they have several styles to choose from. I dont care what style I get, as long as they are black and a size 13 or larger. I hate receiving shoes in a smaller size than what I can wear.


Gifts for men #8, Coach Signature Embossed Leather Belt


Gift #8 is the Coach Signature Embossed Leather Belt. I think this belt is a great compliment to the Cuff link box.

Gifts for men #7, Coach Cuff link box


The 7th item is also from Coach. Can you tell that I believe in the quality of Coach leather? I am not really into all that embossed, and embellished monogram look that was made popular years ago. However I do like this item for the house. Every man needs a place to sit his watch, cuff links, and collar stays if need be,

Gifts for men #6, Adidas top ten tennis shoes


Gift #6, let me tell you that first and foremost, Zappos.com is the best source online to buy shoes. They offer standard, free next day delivery, and no tax on your shoes and purchase. So the price that you see is the price that you pay. Their return policy is awesome and it is just as easy to return the shoes as it is to order and receive them. With that said, I found these flashy Adidas Top Ten tennis shoes on the site. I happen to be a fan already of this particular shoes. Being that I own two pair already, I look for the most recent and cool colored shoes whenever they come out. These shoes are not for everyone, however they are an attention grabber.

Gifts for men #5, Coach weekend bag


Item #5 happens to be the gift that I have requested from my Fiance for the past 2 years. For some reason I always end up wanting something else when it gets closer to Christmas, however, months prior to the actual day, I always want this bag. It is called the "Transatlantic weekend leather bag". It comes in black and brown, and also has a small toiletry bag as well. If you can get past the price tag of $498, then this is truly a good buy.

Gifts for men #4, Kenneth Cole Boots


The fourth item on my list are these cool boots from Kenneth Cole. I saw these at the Herald Sqaure Macys, they immediately caught my eye. Not to mention that I also saw Ne-Yo wearing them during the Macys day parade. Not that I am a Ne-Yo stan, however it is cool to see a celebrity appreciating my taste level. These boots are more for the cold weather days, with faux fur lining, they provide a great looking boot

Gifts for men #3, Canon digital camera


Next on the list is a digital camera. No matter who you are or where you are, the memories that you encounter shoudl be caught on film. Unless you are in Vegas, because we all know, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", you should not be without your digital camera. I have chosen Canon as my brand of choice. I have the Canon Rebel EOS SLR camera at home and it takes great photos. Now that I need a smaller, more compact camera unit, I will opt for the Canon Digital SD750 Camera

Gifts for men #2, Justin cowboy boots


The next item on my list is a pair of cowboy boots. Years ago I had the pleasure of going to the Justin boot factory in El Paso Texas. I found a pair of cowboy boots and became extremely attached. Cowboy boots add a certain amountof confidence to the gentleman who is bold enough to wear them. They make a statement at all times. Sometimes you dont want to hear the statement that they make, or that others want to speak, however they never go not noticed.

Top 10 Gifts for Men, Hamilton Watch


This season I have comprised my Top 10 gifts for men. This list is more about what I like than the rest of the world, however I feel like I have a pretty good gauge on the pulse of what men are looking for, so therefore the list was created. Take a look and tell me what you think. I have included pictures and links to pull up any and all items listed.

ENJOY!! and Happy Holidays

Since men are defined by their watch and their shoes, I have chosen the first item because I happened to run across it in Macys and I liked it immediately. This Hamilton watch is guaranteed to be in all the men's magazines next spring and fall.

Bypass the middle man

Why is it that whenever a man wants a good looking suit, he has to go to the local department store to get ripped off by the high price mark up cadence that is being offered by the national monopoly of the moment. You can make a dash for any type of 3 day suit broker, example S&B, 3 day suit broker, S&K etc, however you tend to only get what department stores have either passed on, or dumped because of excessive inventory. Now in some cases this is not a problem. For the male who is a casual shopper and does not mind looking at more than one place to find the deal, or the man who is willing to wait for the price he wants to pay for that suit he has been eye balling, these locations are legitimate. However what about the guy who wants the fashion forward seasonal suit of the moment, right now, at the price he wants to pay, this is the problem, there is no place to get them. The factories who are local and willing to sell suit to the main deparment stores and chains have not stepped out of the box enough to start to gain the money that they are leaving on the table by delivering to third parties. So in esscence, the suit that you are about to purchase has exchanged hands a minimum of 3 times, and been marked up all along the way. So that suit that costs you $300, for an average today's man suit, should have cost you about $75.

Bacco Bucci Shoes

Recently I stumbled across the Bacco Bucci website. This website isnt bad, it offers the customer a chance to see the entire seasons assortment in its catalog form. The catalog is clear, concise and to the point. This particular brand of shoes tends to cater more to the athlete and more fashion forward customer, however I believe there is a shoe on this website for everyone. Check out the site and let me know what you think.
