Tell Dad to Watch It… (LollieShopping Guest Post) Posted: 14 May 2010 02:01 AM PDT From our friends at LollieShopping: Father's Day is drawing near, and I think a nice watch makes a great gift for any dad of any age. With our society's new digital lifestyle, we don't really need watches anymore. If you want to know what time it is, just check your phone. Because of that, watches are more than a useful timepiece. Today, watches are an important fashion accessory, especially for men. Men keep it simple when it comes to accessories, and for most men, a watch is the one and only piece of jewelry they wear. That's why when you buy your favorite dad a watch for Father's Day, it has to be a really attractive one. You want to get him a watch that draws attention and gets him some compliments. But you also want to get him a watch that suits his personality and lifestyle. So I put together a few tips to help guide you when you are shopping for a watch for Father's Day. Corporate Dad If the dad you are shopping for works in an office environment you want to focus on buying him a sleek watch with no flash. The corporate dad needs to make a professional impression, but he also wants to appear successful. Even if he is in the midst of climbing the corporate ladder, buy him a watch that looks like it belongs on the wrist of a CEO. It will give him the boost of confidence he needs to land his desired promotion. Dad the Conqueror For the dad who literally loves to climb mountains, you have to get him a sports watch. And today's sports watches are really attractive, so he can wear it while he's scuba diving or meeting his friends for happy hour.  There are different sports watches for different sports. So, if he's into water sports, be sure to get him a diving watch. If he's into bicycling, get him a cycling watch. If he's into climbing, get him a durable watch that gives him altitude information. Seal the Deal Dad The kind of dad that is a mover and shaker needs the kind of watch that steals the show. The watch brand Invicta features a selection of gold tone, mixed metal and brightly colored face watches that make dad the center of attention wherever he goes. Pick a watch that shines as bright as his vivacious personality. Share and Enjoy: More »

Budget Stylista: Cargo Pants Go Glam (CollegeCandy Guest Post) Posted: 14 May 2010 01:38 AM PDT This spring, cargo styles seem to have made it out of our 6th grade wardrobes and back into stores and into style. The upside (aside from the genius extra pockets for flask storage, that is!) is that this time around, they are a whole lot cuter then their '90s siblings. Or maybe it's just that we are a lot cuter than our former '90s selves. Either way, I'm a fan. The best part about this look is that you can make it appropriate for day or night. Yes, cargos are not just functional for recess/military operations anymore, ladies and gents! Cargo styles paired with a form fitting top give you a laid back yet sophisticated/sexy look Here are two examples I love of a cargo pant and a cargo inspired short for both day and night. Cargo Pants I adore these pants. I love how they can be cinched at the bottom giving it the look of the harem pant with some room through the leg but not SO much that it looks like you could smuggle illegal aliens in them. For day, pair with a casual v-neck (I love this apricot color with the green, but white works too) and some flat sandals. Feel free to let the drawstring around the ankle loose. For night, pair with this form fitted body suit (or tight tank if you have to pee a lot and don't want to deal with a body suit), a good push up bra and some fun black pumps. Scrunch the pants around the ankle and off you go. Product Information: Cargo Pants – Lulus.com, $52; T-shirt – American Apparel, $22; Sandals – Charlotte Russe, $18.99; Body Suit – Forever 21, $17.80; Heels – DSW, $44.94. Cargo Shorts It's a good thing I don't have to be in a monogomous relationship with clothing, because just as much as I love those cargo pants, I love these cargo shorts. They are laid back yet classy, and short without being slutty. For day, pair with this fun floral tank (tucked in) and some woven sandals. For night, I love this monochromatic look. Tuck in the sequin tank and throw on a nude pump. Oh and don't forget to shave your legs. Obvi.
