Buying anniversary gifts for your wife or girlfriend can be a difficult challenge. This year, steer away from the typical chocolates, flowers, and lingerie, and go with something a little different. Consider these suggestions for romantic gifts that the woman in your life is sure to love.

1. Perfume

Nice, name-brand perfumes can be an expensive purchase, so if your wife rarely splurges on extravagant scents, tell her how much you love her by purchasing something from Fragrance Villa or another fragrance store. Get something you smell and it’ll be a gift for you too every time she wears it!

2. Keurig Coffee Maker

Fragrances are nice, but there’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. When it’s just two people in the house, making an entire pot of coffee in the morning may seem like overkill. Simplify things by getting her a Keurig, which lets her make a single cup of coffee at a time. The different coffee and tea packets you can use with the machine give you virtually any coffee flavor you want, and all you have to do is load in the packet, put your coffee cup under the spout, and wait for the machine to brew it for you.

3. Spa Bath Set

Does she need to pamper herself a little? Purchase a really nice bath set for her and she’ll be able to. Items like bubble bath, bath beads, and scented bath candles can give her a spalike experience right from the comfort of her own home. Many stores that sell perfume also sell bath sets, so you can be sure to pick a bath or candle scent she’ll love! Toss a gorgeous fluffy bathrobe into the mix, and she’ll be able to go from a soothing soak to a delightful evening in.

4. Personalized Jewelry Box

Jewelry is a typical Valentine’s Day and anniversary gift, so why not think outside the box by thinking of the box itself? Get an easy-to-organize jewelry box and have her name written on the outside and a personal romantic message written inside the lid. It’s both a functional gift and a romantic one. If she doesn’t wear a lot of jewelry, consider getting her a larger box for her to store her fragrances and perfumes in.

5. Mix CD

The most meaningful gifts don’t always have to be pricey. Sometimes homemade gifts can be just as sweet. Pull together a list of songs that have meant something to you both as a couple, or love songs that put into words how you feel about her. Play it together when you give it to her and spend the evening slow dancing in the living room. Hearing those romantic lyrics and knowing you’re thinking them about her will melt her heart.

Nowadays, being fashionable does not only apply to women but to men as well. There are many actors, singers, athletes, and other celebrities that guys look up to when it comes to dressing up. A metrosexual or a man who is meticulous about his appearance specifically the clothes he wears and spends a significant amount of money shopping, is becoming more common. Chances are he knows the latest fashion trends and follows them religiously.

Bomber jackets are in fashion no matter what the color is but neon colored ones are perfect for summer. Another trend that not many men might like but is totally in fashion is the printed shirt, suit, and tank top, specifically those with tropical floral prints. Sorts of online shop has several floral shirts available at affordable prices. The tie dye is not just for hippies or artsy men but is probably the coolest print to pull off this season. For men who like wearing suits, stiff power suits are out. The new tailoring emphasizes fluid lines, softer fabrics, longer jackets, and looser pants.

Bermuda shorts also swept runways this season. Some even wear it with cowboy boots. But this trend is something that takes a little getting used to. As for shoes, bright trainers are very cool. Also making a comeback are brogue shoes, a low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterised by multiple piece, strong leather uppers with decorative perforations or broguing and indentions along the pieces’ visible edges. Guys can shop for some stylish brogue shoes from Zalora available in different designs and colors. Last but not the least, the color of the season is blue. It does not matter what shade it is, as long as it is blue.

One way to achieve this in a practical way is through apparel. There are few dads that don’t appreciate or garner utility from a new garment, such as jeans or tie for the office.

Shoppers looking to take a detour from convention may find that there are some intriguing options from reputable brands available in the spring line of mens polo shirts found in some local retailers, as well as through some online sites and vendors. These polos, when purchased online, provide the buyer with an expansive selection of sizes, styles, and fabrics to suit any preferences while also allowing the shopper the added convenience of having these purchases sent directly to their door.

Some buyers may want to add a bit of personal flair to their gifts through customized embroidery or other personalized touches which might be offered through some additional online sites. The quality of men’s shirts found from reputable brands, including Peter Millar and others, are the perfect foundation for clever embroidery, motifs, and silk-screening that might be found from some respected venues.

Whether Dad enjoys golf on the weekend or dressing to fit a casual Friday work environment, a new polo is an exemplary gift for the coming season. Consider some unique colors or appealing details to give the shirt the little extra something that will make dad feel particularly special.

Online shopping is becoming more and more popular in the US, this is according to a goodonlineshoppingsites.net infographic. Apparently the best shopping deals can be found online, this is according to an estimated 80% of American shoppers. Different methods are used by shoppers, as evidenced by National Retail Federation’s survey that 5-7% of adult Americans use their mobile phone to differentiate prices while shopping. Shopping on tablets is also on the rise since it was reported that in Feb. 2013, 5 billion minutes were spent shopping. It was also discovered that an average of $274 was spent in the first quarter of 2013 by a typical desktop user shopping online. No wonder that an estimated 289 billion US Dollars in revenue was recorded in 2012 brought about by online shopping.

I recommend these 2 online shops where I usually shop my clothes and other necessity things in the house. ZaloraPH is the great online shop that sells apparels for both Bettys and dudes. Also, LazadaPH is a must check too, as you are more into home decors and appliances.

[SNOB] Metal Paisley Snap back in Gold – 67,310KRW @ GVG

Might someone over there might get interested to know on what these Kpop idols often wears most of the time especially the idols or celebrities they’d often look up too, right? today, let me share with you this piece of accessory, an cap perhaps that this guy named Kikwang, B2st member, wearing on the photo on top. Actually, I see a bunch of Snapback already of the same thing, design wise, about this Addicted Snob cap but I think the brand name, Snob, was the one most consider and demand today since most celebrities are fond of wearing it. Have you seen your fave idols recently wearing the same cap or anything pieces from the brand Snob already? I think, snob brand is kinda popular today in Korea? what do you think?

Since I was a guy that has a lot of spare time and due to my curiosity about the brand.. LOL I’ve decided to check on the brand’s main site and I’ve found out that the guy kikwang wears on the top photos has an price of 67,310KRW and indeed! SNOB is an local brand in Korea. But no worries. Because you can still buy the same cap or anything pieces within the brand by just checking their online store here: gvg.co.kr . Alright, that is the only information that I can give out here since the brand, Snod, is not yet affiliated on this site. hahaha They must see this write up and consider me as their influencer. ahah just send over some pieces on my way please???

Okay, that will be all for now  and I hope you’ll keep on checking me here for more fashion and news updates regarding with some kpop fashion as well brands and labels new in collections. Thank you so much!

A Worthwhile Read: Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins

by admin

photo Af-ge2_zps83649cff.jpg

I like browsing through the pages of Good Housekeeping because I get a lot of home decorating ideas and it keeps me abreast on what is happening in the world of interior design. If you do not want to spend too much money then instead of hiring an interior decorator just flip through the pages of magazines to get inspiration and in the process know the latest trends when it comes to what looks good in a home. But more than contemporary design, I have always been fascinated with old fashioned homes decorated with oriental rugs. Their beautiful and intricate designs and colors make a house, no matter how small or big it is, look so elegant.

A lot of people consider them as pieces of art. They are rugs that were made in the Orient or in Asia namely China, Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, Turkey, Cyprus, Iran, India, Egypt, and Morocco. They were brought to the West during the Crusades and are organized by origin such as Arabian rugs, Persian rugs, Central Asian rugs, Chinese rugs, Indian rugs etc. They can last for decades because of their high quality. Antique oriental rugs have been in demand for years. Some even display them as wall decors. Since there are so many different designs and sizes, finding one that will complement your home’s motif might be challenging. It is probably a good idea to start your home decor with the oriental rug first then pick the rest of the furnishing to suit the oriental rug.

If you want to know more about oriental rugs, then Peter F. Stone’s book Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins is a great reference. It contains over 1,000 vivid drawings and pictures of different types, designs, and sizes of oriental rugs. The book gives ample information about rugs being a part of art history and how tribal weavings, particularly oriental rugs, make us more knowledgeable about some traditions that were not given much attention before. Examples of which are the weavings of southwest Persia, Baluchistan and Kurdistan.

This book likewise gives information about oriental rugs that have not been previously written. It provides straightforward and exact definitions for the rug and fabric terms used in each country where it is made. The book also touches on museum-quality rug traditions and the modern ways of manufacturing or producing them as well as on the rich hand-knotting and hand-weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia and some examples of Scandinavian and Native American weavings. This brief but comprehensive book is a must-have for beginners, serious collectors, scholars, and dealers. It is easy to read and any rug afficionado can read this to expand their knowledge of textiles.
