Naughty or Nice
Jingle Bell Blues? Don't worry...grab yourself a peppermint mocha and perk up! I come from a large family and have an even larger extended family, so trust me, I know a little something about shopping! I came up with a fun way of shopping for the holidays that is both fun and practical. First you will need to divide your list into Naughty and Nice (Now, just a warning on my list Naughty means something entirely different . . . don't judge), then you must check it twice (ok so I may be a little OCD).
As a rule I only buy for the main members of my family (sorry Uncle George's 2nd cousin on his moms side. . .) this way I don't spread my budget too thin, but If it's a family gathering and I don't want to feel guilty I always bake holiday cookies and hand them out as a holiday token of my cheer and goodwill (Ok, so I don't actually bake, but if you put chips-a-hoy in the microwave for 20 seconds no one will tell the difference). Now back to the list, I like to keep it light and fun, unless you are engaged to the person or they recently have given you some vital organ there is no need racking your brain for that "perfect gift". Below are some of my favorite gifts to give this season for the people who I have come to think of as Naughty and Nice this holiday season!
Note: Probably not appropriate for your Dad or Gramps, If you've made it on the Naughty list you can expect to get more than a lump of coal from me this year. I love the Toddland Santa Briefs; a gift that's bound to cause a giggle. The Pipe College Jock is a fun cheeky gift…great stocking stuffer! This one is surely meant for the naughtiest of all, the Pipe Commando jock. . .the picture says it all. True Religions Drifter Gift set everything Santa's Naughty little help could want
If you've been a good boy this year you are in for a treat! Archipelago's Parfum Noir Silver Candle tin & 2 votive boxed gift sets make wonderful gifts for practically anyone. A great gift for the man about town, the Kenneth Cole Leather card case, is a thoughtful and useful gift. Travel in style with the Molten Brown Kaleidoscope gift set.

It's a SHORE thing - This seasonal trend is all about Summer fun, laid back days at the beach, and soaking up the sun. Now, while I don't condone fist pumping (although I do think GTL is a pretty good motto) I love spending my summer on the shore side. Walking the board walk in a pair of cargo shorts and a tank, relaxing on the beach or catching up with friends at a late night bonfire, all of these things bring back great memories of Summer for me.

Just in time for my yearly trip to Southern Decadence in New Orleans, Universal Gear got in a new shipment of Deep V's from Andrew Christian. (I'll be taking one in every color!) Deep V-necks are fun and sexy and definitely lend to accessorizing with longer necklaces and chains. They are also great for showing off your hard earned chest! For more bold Deep V styles check out the new Andrew Christian lineup at www.universalgear.com!

Not your Daddy's Slacks! This season we are seeing a wide range of fashion friendly men's pants from brands like Diesel, G-Star, Ben Sherman, Life After Denim and many more. When people think of wearing pants, they often get this whole image of a suit and tie (ball and chain... boring!). Not the case with this season's slacks! I find that pants are a great way to switch it up a bit in the wardrobe department. Dress them up or down so that they have a look that can stand on its own. Play with color and texture. But most of all, dare to step away from the norm!

With lots of brand new styles rolling in this week and many recent arrivals already available, it's no wonder that customers and employees alike are so excited these days! This week's Fashionista picks are four employee favorites. The Ben Sherman True Blue Woven (top left) and the Scotch & Soda Relaxed Slim Asher Jean (top right) make for a super stylish combo. They have yet to make their online debut, though, so keep checking back! On the other hand, the Levi's Chinchilla 511 Skinny Stretch Cord (bottom left) and the Fortunate Sun Marley Bob V-Neck are already yours for the taking both online and in stores. Another perfect pre-Fall pair, if you ask us!
Hey, Fashionistas! While I live for style and trend, this frugalista LOVES a great sale. As I was picking through Universal Gear's Sale department, I put together a fabulous pre-Fall outfit for one hell of a bargain. Get into it!
The woven is from Civil Society, the ultra sexy slim slacks are from Ben Sherman, and the smart cardigan comes from the geniuses over at G-Star. If you ask me, this makes for a great all-around brand selection. And you know I love to accessorize! I found this great day bag from Christian Audigier and then couldn't decide on shoes; it was a toss-up between these comfortable, trendy Converse and the Italian Replay High Tops. I'll let you decide!
Don't forget to check out other great styles at Universal Gear's Summer Sale!

A New Spin on a Classic Style. I love these new chino style pants from Ben Sherman & Diesel 55. They have that preppy touch with a twist; the slight tapering of the leg mixed with a clean design makes for a smart and, might I say, dashing look! The 55DSL Tan Prowler Pant (center) & the Ben Sherman Bravo Chino Pant (tan & stone grey) are must-haves for the hip professional. To make the look a little more casual, pair these styles with a hot new polo from Fred Perry or a sexy layered Henley from our latest Spanish import, ES.
