Holiday Gift Selections for Men

With the biggest shopping weekend of the year behind us and in the middle of Cyber Monday, many have started their holiday shopping for the season. If you are like me, you find yourself scrambling at the last minute to check everyone off of your list. This year, I made a vow to get my shopping done a little bit ahead of schedule (hopefully).

To get a jump start on holiday shopping, I have curated a list of a few of my personal favorite items of the year spanning many price points and ranging from a classic wool sweater to modern timepieces and fragrance. Whether you are shopping for a boyfriend, brother, dad, or friend there is sure to be something for every man on your list.

Hover over the image below to shop my holiday selections for 2014:


Post-Shave Lotion- In an effort to elevate my shaving routine, I tried some new products from American Crew, one being this post-shave soothing lotion. I instantly fell in love with the product which has now become a staple in my routine. This would be a great stocking stuffer for that college student that is always running late and in rush, sometimes neglecting their shaving routine.

Personalized Toasting Box- This toasting set from Orvis is the perfect match for that true gentleman on your list. Crafted from wood, this toasting set which has room for 10 shot glasses and your favorite liquor makes a handsome addition to any celebratory event. I personally own the set and have thoroughly enjoyed, opting for the available personalization option. This set is sure to make a memorable gift!

Miansai Cuff- I have enjoyed the bracelet trend which has gained popularity in men's fashion and accessories. My go-to brand for modern, well made pieces has been Miansai. The screw bracelet has become their iconic piece, and my new favorite is the addition of the "Noir" collection to the lineup. These cuffs are a great pick for the guy who loves fashion and is on top of trends.

Diptyque Fragrance- Fragrance always makes a great gift, and the selections from Diptyque are simply amazing. This Paris based perfumer makes unique scents which are not available from other houses. I was exposed to their scent, Tam Dao, and have fallen in love with it. It is a mix of sandalwood, rosewood, cypress, and ambergris. It is sure to become his new favorite!

Breil Timepieces-  A timepiece always makes a memorable gift for any man. Breil offers modern, sophisticated timepieces at a reasonable price. This season, the Dome collection is very popular. The Dome collection for men is also exquisitely designed in Italy and is inspired by the city of Milan, celebrating the history and architecture of the Milan Dome — one of the city's main attractions. With its sapphire crystal dome shape, this collection offers a unique structural design for men this holiday season. Italian craftsmanship is honored with a patented new crown as well.

Irish Wool Sweater- You can never go wrong with something as classic as shawl collar sweater. This season, Orvis is offering an option crafted in Ireland from pure wool. This piece is part of my collection, and I personally love how classic the design and silhouette are. The quality shines throw in this genuine piece which is quite warm!

Spring and Summer Accessories Featuring KJP and Southern Tide

I always say, accessories really pull an outfit together and give it its finishing touches. I am a huge fan of belts and bracelets because its a very easy way to add some color or pattern to an outfit. For spring and summer, I like to stick to light colors and pastel shades as well as nautical themes- its perfect for vacations by the lake or shore. 

One of the best aspects about preppy style is the ability to support smaller, local companies. Below are some accessories perfect for spring and summer from two of my favorite preppy companies: Kiel James Patrick and Southern Tide.


Bracelets by Kiel James Patrick:

These bracelets come in a wide variety of light, pastel colors and make the perfect addition to the wrist with their woven leather and nautical theme. I love the classic navy and white combo with the anchor!

Belts by Southern Tide:

The belts from Southern Tide have a whimsical nautical theme featuring different fish and water activities. The bright colors pair well with white chinos and an oxford for a simple, classy spring or summer ensemble. 

What accessories do you love for spring and summer?

Spice Up Your Timepiece

Happy Friday!
I recently got into wearing some sort of bracelet alongside of my timepiece. I am loving the braided leather with silver creations by designers such as John Hardy and David Yurman as well as the enamel cuffs as well. This look is similar to the "stock" that everyone was so into, but I like to keep mine a bit more refined with only two additional pieces maximum.
