Father's Day Gift Guide

It's that time of year again. Time to shower all the dads in your life with love. AKA buy them presents!

Sometimes dads are hard to buy for because well, if they're like my dad, they already have everything!

Here are some ideas for different kinds of dads:

Gadget Dad:
iPad





Bose Companion Speakers












Stylish Dad:
Hermes Tie








Loafers


Boat Shoes




Chef Dad:

Le Creuset 5 qt French Oven



Pugeot Chateaunuf Salt and Pepper Mills










Sporty Dad:



Event Tickets








Hmm that's all I can think of for sports. These are just a few ideas, but remember the most important thing when gift giving is to put some thought into it. No point on spending your hard earned dollars if the receiver won't like it.



Happy Father's Day to the dads out there!

Vent Time

I can't hold my tongue anymore. Girls that are over the top need help. Erin to the rescue.

Some girls need to realize that there's a fine line between glamorous and over the top. Like for example, wearing a little mascara and lip gloss to the gym- ok, wearing fake eyelashes to the gym- not ok.

I am not an innocent party here, I used to wear some ridiculous things, but as you get older you learn (in theory) the line between nicely dressed and overdone.

I think one of the problems is that girls/women want to dress exactly how they see celebs dress. Let's remind ourselves that they are CELEBRITIES, they are living in a different world and can wear whatever they want. We civilians need to dress like normal people otherwise we look ridiculous.

Take for example, Kim Kardashian. Everyone seems to think she is one of the best dressed celebrities. I think she dresses cute, but not really my style, because to me she always looks over the top and overdone. Too many accessories, too much cleavage, big hair, sky high heels, pounds of make up. To me this style screams, NOTICE ME, I'M AN ATTENTION WH*RE.





I think that Diane Kruger is a good example of how to dress. Her style is fashion forward but not over accessorized and not too in your face.





Another important thing to consider when dressing yourself is where you're going. Probably the most important question to ask yourself before you leave your house "is this appropriate for where I am going?" Just because you have a cute outfit on doesn't mean you should be wearing it.
