Gentleman 101: Make Her Feel Special
A woman loves to feel special. NEVER forget to show your significant other that you appreciate them. You don’t have to spend a ton of money either, so money is not an excuse. Flowers are a great and inexpensive way to make a woman feel special. 1/2 a dozen roses are less than $10 at a local grocery store. Buy a vase for your lady and keep it at her house for her flowers instead of buying one every time. Specialty cakes are another way to make a woman feel special. I had a cake made to look like a [...]

I like browns and denim together so I put this outfit together with my new hiking boots that I’ve been waiting to go on sale.

I love patterns. I found this Vintage YSL Blazer on eBay recently. It fit like a glove with no alterations. I could never afford a department store tweed blazer these days, but vintage pieces allow you to look just as good for a fraction of the price. Vintage YSL Tweed Jacket $60 eBay Plaid Peter Milar Dress Shirt $15 Stein Mart Purple Banana Republic V-neck Sweater $15 Peter Milar Tie $25 Stein Mart Levis $35 Dillards Ted Baker Watch $60 Stein Mart To Boot New York Wingtips $150 Saks Off 5th

BT&S Essentials: The Briefcase
As men grow up, so should their bags. I don’t carry this piece everyday, but I still see it as essential because there are times when there is no replacement for a handsome leather bag. I found this Kenneth Cole Leather Bag at Marshalls for $150. I love the color of the leather and brushed nickel closures. The matching leather iPad case, made by Targus, was also found at Marshalls for $17. Leather bags can be rather expensive, but stores like Marshalls, Ross, and T.J. Maxx often have great deals on these items. eBay is also another great resource. -BT&S [...]
