Why Did You Wear That: Weekend Warrior

By |May 22nd, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

hamptons luxury linerAs summer and steamy weather welcomes its way into our lives, so do summer Fridays and weekends away.  A girlfriend and I chatted away while she packed for an exotic trip to Morocco and we laughed about how we were responsible packers and every man’s dream as we weren’t likely to pack every pair of shoes we own to match the six extra outfits that we brought “just in case.”  Well, except for that one trip I took last summer wherein my entire bag broke due to sheer weight and I was berated for the rest of the week about it. view more for travel related information. That was not only irresponsible packing, but irresponsible dating.  And as Hemingway once stated, “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.”  But that is neither here nor there because more likely than not we will all be escaping the city at some point and we must have the proper bag to pack along with some travel accessories to keep our jewelry and cosmetics in check.

Gift Guide: Who’s Your Daddy?

By |June 12th, 2013|Gift Guide|

I’ve already bragged about what an amazing mom I have, but hold on… because I also happen to have the best father, friend, and male role model that a woman could ask for.  I have been truly blessed to have the relationship that I do with my dad.  I often wish that everyone was as fortunate as I am.  I do not, for one moment, take that for granted.  Basically, my only “daddy issues” are finding a man who could come remotely close to the kindness, character, and intelligence of Dick Smith.

That said, no gift could even come close to summing up my gratitude, but it’s worth a shot, right?  Here’s the thing about dads, they are always so busy taking care of everyone else (nope, not just mom), that they tend to skimp on themselves.  For instance, my dad likes to wear the same shoes he’s had for the last decade, because ya know, they still work.  I tried to replace them.  That went over like a lead balloon.  Just remember that men tend to be practical, so extravagant gifts aren’t necessarily key– and he does not, under any circumstance, want another tie.
