Skip the Suit…How about Birthday SHOES?!!

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

“I had a question – my husband’s birthday is coming up and he wants some shoes that aren’t dress shoes but aren’t tennis shoes either. He’s very picky and I’m at a total loss. My budget would be around $100-$150. Do you have any thoughts on some shoes that would work well with jeans and a polo or a button down? Any suggestions would be appreciated, guy fashion is not my forte! Lol.” –Jen

Jen–even though it might be a total pain, it’s a great thing that your husband is picky! It means that he cares about how he looks and that he probably looks pretty good! We’ve learned over time that a guy that’s picky about his shoes is probably even pickier than most girls about their shoes. Here’s a few thoughts on some casual-non-sneaker shoes that we think would rock his socks off, pending his current style:


For the Trend-setting Man: Zappos Clarks – Wallabee Boot $140


For the Sunday-Funday Guy: J. Crew Sperry Top-Sider® Leather Chukka Boots $125


For the Manly-Man: Calvin Klein Jeans – Alex $109

Affordable Fall Alternatives for Details Magazine

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

If you’re not pouring over men’s magazines, particularly men’s fashion magazines, I can’t blame you. First, most of the looks are absolutely ridiculous, over-the-top, non-real-people outfits AND/OR out of real-people price ranges. (If you can pull off ridiculous outfits and have lots of money…call me or go to Details Magazine…if not, keep reading and know you are normal, average, probably not taking naked pictures with hot models, and that we still love you).

Details Magazine September issue provided a “10 Ways to Modernize Your Wardrobe” spread with some actual decent suggestions, with the exception that they’re all very expensive for an average joe. Here are suggestions very similar to their article but that might fit into your budget this year. Treat yourself to a few new necessity items if your old ones are wearing thin.  ***LKc Style budget: $369.22, Details Magazine Budget: $10,500.00***
