Gift Guide: Who’s Your Daddy?

By |June 11th, 2014|Gift Guide|

dadWe spend an awful lot of time shopping for ourselves and perusing available goods online- something I like to refer to as “market research.”  We know exactly when the next Kenzo collection drops down to the date and we can recite each color by name that the Balenciaga Velo is available in.  And while most dads are just thankful to be thought of (mom’s the one who always gets all the credit, afterall), remember to choose wisely because he knows exactly how much you spent on those engraved beer steins and he thinks it’s absolutely ridiculous.  And no, he doesn’t want another f&^#ing tie.

Not only is Father’s Day a great day to indulge dad in something that he’s been eyeing at Home Depot, it’s also an opportune time to replace his ratty socks, holey undershirts (which I take for myself), and embarrassing choices in footwear.  I may very well be purchasing the polar bear trunks from Vilebrequin for Dick, seeing as I have a childhood memory of his Speedo always going missing and my mom not having the slightest clue where it might have gone.  Must be like disappearing socks in the dryer.  Whether pops is sporty, handy, or a classic Don Draper, now’s the time to show your appreciation for those braces and his breadwinning.

Setting the Mood: Daddy Issues

By |June 9th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

father daughter duosOne of the most important relationships a woman will ever have is the one she has with her father.  Now, I realize that I have been especially blessed because not only do I have a father to speak of, but I have a father who is one of the kindest, smartest, most loving people on this planet.  Really the only daddy issues I have are knowing what it feels like to be loved and respected by a man.  Because I know that I am at an advantage having someone like Dick Smith a mere telephone call away at any time, I loan him out to a lot of my friends, which he is more than happy to do.  Basically, if my dad isn’t following you on Instagram, you’re doing something wrong.  So, here’s to all the dads of the world- whether he’s your dad, you baby’s daddy, or father to your four legged friend.
