Valentine's Day is just two weeks away. Have you had any ideas of what to buy for your boyfriend or husband yet? Buying presents for a guy is undoubtedly challenging. Try to do it early if you can so that you'll have more time to search for the right gifts. I often hear my girlfriends complaining "I don't know what I should buy for him". My advice always is "Pay attention to what he likes, what he uses, and what he needs". A gift doesn't have to be expensive; it just needs to be practical and meaningful. Just in case you have no clue what to buy for him on this Valentine's Day, I have ten essential gifts that every man will need and love. I mean, which guy doesn't shave, wear ties or go to the gym? These gifts will do you no wrong.
2014 is soon coming to an end and 2015 is just around the corner. Have you decided what to wear for New Year's Eve yet? I know some girls may feel lazy to go through the whole process of searching for a perfect dress. But believe me, it will be all worth it.
New Year's Eve is the most magical, memorable and meaningful night of the year. It's the time for us to reflect, to celebrate and to wish for the best things in our life. Whether you have a count down party at your friend's house, in a restaurant or in a club, you should totally dress your best to celebrate the night away. A sexy little black dress or a red sequin dress would hurt nobody. If you still haven't had any idea of what to wear on this special day, I have here 3 outfits that might help to put an end to your what-to-wear dilemma.
1. Red Is A New Black
A little less formal than a floor-length gown, but more dressy than pants, a jumpsuit is always my ultimate choice whenever I need to look formal and feel comfortable for an event or a party. It's such an effortlessly chic and sophisticated outfit. Why red jumpsuit, you ask? Well, what color is more appropriate for a party and celebration than red? If you love being a center of attention, then this red jumpsuit is definitely your style.
Recently, tulle has been such a huge trend. As a statement piece itself, tulle skirt can make any girl look like a princess who just steps out of the fairytale. Pairing a tulle skirt with a motor leather jacket for a perfect boy-meets-girl look, I'm pretty sure this outfit will make you become a head-turner of the night.
If sequin and loud colors are not your things, opt for an outfit in a neutral color like :black, gray or beige. But wait! What if we combine all three colors together? Three Floor has an answer for you. This statement dress from Three Floor is currently my favorite. I love the creative, asymmetrical wrap skirt with zip detail and the crew neckline. Such a statement dress like this deserve to be worn on a very special night like New Year's Eve.
There you have it! Three outfit ideas for one special night. Which one is your favorite? Do you have any favorite outfit in mind? Please share with me at the comments section below.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, nothing makes me feel more excited than buying gifts for my loved ones. Besides shopping for my mom, sister in law and my nephew, I love buying gifts for the men in the family: my boyfriend, brother, and daddy. It's fun shopping for them, but it's challenging too. I have four important men in my life that I'd love to pamper them so much. But, every time I ask them "What do you want me to buy for you", I always end up asking myself the same question: "What should I buy?", simply because I receive pretty much the same answer, just in different ways. My hero daddy who always says: "I don't need anything", my boyfriend who tells me "I already have everything I need", andmy dearest manager who always tells me not to buy him anything. The only person that is very easy to buy a gift for is my brother, as he likes anything I buy.
This year, I've found a solution. Instead of asking them questions, I took a closer and detailed look at all the gift options available, category by category. It's actually not as hard as I thought. There are plenty of great gifts out there for the men we love. I've already picked out some cool gifts and I can't wait to give it to them.
Have you found any gift for the men in your life yet? If you haven't, I have here some gifts ideas. I'm sure they'll love it. Have a look!
