Gift for guys who (think) they know what they want

Finding gifts for a confident man isn't always easy, especially since he already projects such strong characteristics. But by giving him a stylish gift this holiday season that works with, or even enhances, his confident personality, you can't go wrong.

Here are some suggestions to make this holiday gift something perfect:

Haleh Nematzadeh SS10

 

Influenced by the night’s sky, stars, and cosmos, Haleh Nematzadeh SS10 is a multi-dimensional exploration of the night. Recalling New York City’s nightlife at its grandest, this season reinterprets the freedom, energy and talent once found at the city’s most extravagant clubs- Paradise Garage, Danceteria- for a collection that is at once bold and unapologetically modern. Contrasting this underlying night vibe is a light-hearted “day” feeling of radiating sunlight, exposing Haleh’s softness, and unique take on feminine fashion.

 
Highly inspired by music, a constant theme in the designer’s work, the day-to-night transition is carried through to musical inspiration, from Paul McCartney and Wings for the day, to Cosmic Disco for night.
 
Known for pushing boundaries, this season experiments with sharp silhouettes and unconventional fabric choices- including a unique glow-in-the-dark material. Standout pieces include a glow-in-the-dark fitted doll dress with sculptural shoulders, a holographic leather jacket accented with grommets and sleeves of chain mail, and layered  silk shift dresses with mystical hand airbrushed prints. Haleh Nematzadeh retails between $175 - $950. See more on the next page. 

Millions of Americans have a sleep debt to repay

You're paying down your credit cards and making smart decisions about your home and auto loans. But are you overlooking the most important kind of "debt," a debt that you owe yourself to pay off in order to maintain good health? This is one kind of debt that will have a huge impact on your life if ignored, but is easy to pay off with minimal effort.

More than 75 percent of Americans are sleep deprived, according to the National Sleep Foundation. In fact, many have incurred a "sleep debt," says Dr. Michael J. Breus, a clinical psychologist and diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine. "Many people deprive themselves of sleep during the work week, losing an hour or more a night, and try to make up for it on the weekends," says Dr. Breus. "But while you may be able to replace some of that lost sleep each weekend, you can still be sleep deprived, and your 'sleep debt' will just keep growing."

Beauty Basics to help you Embrace Autumn

Fall is a time of transition. Not only do you need to prepare your skin for the cold months ahead, but it's time to transform your look from light and airy to soft and classic.

Focus on a few beauty basics - skin, make-up, fashion and fragrance - and you'll have all you need for a fantastic fall.  

Great skin is always in
As the weather gets cooler and drier, your skin needs extra moisture to keep it supple. Keep warm weather memories alive with a scent reminiscent of summer and try Coconut Milk Body Lotion from The Body Shop. Treat yourself to the finest ingredients - ethically sourced community trade virgin coconut oil from Samoa - and get soft, smooth and deliciously scented skin.

Smart gifts for your sexy, sophisticated man

It's nearly 2010 and real men accessorize. They get manicures, dress well and enjoy wearing sophisticated scents, too.

This holiday, the best gift to the man in your life should reflect his personal style and sense of casual sophistication.

Gucci Cruise Campaign

Winter is not even here yet well sort so I guess I should say winter is not even gone and we are already seeing ads for Gucci Cruise 2010.
