Tips on Choosing the Right Tie for Men's Formal Attire
A necktie or tie is one of the most loved fashion accessories for men. Although it’s only just a small piece of clothing in a man’s wardrobe, it takes a big part in making his business attire look complete and best. It also has a great impact on his character and personality because it signifies that he has a good taste in fashion if he chooses the right tie that works well with him.
With so many choices for which tie to select among huge variety of style, design, color and patterns, it's really tricky and complicated to pick out the perfect one. So to help you out in choosing the right tie that best suits for you and complements well with your attire, here are some tips that you must take in consideration.
1. Consider the quality of fabric
When choosing a necktie, your first main concern is the quality of its fabric as well as the kind of material it has used. A good quality tie is made up of 100% silk. So it’s most recommended to buy a silk tie because you can’t go wrong with its luster and glossy that will definitely give you a polished appearance and perfectly complement your formal attire. Aside from this, it’s also durable to use because this kind of fabric will certainly last much longer.
2. Choose the Right Length of tie that is proportion to your height
Selecting the right length of the tie is another important key that should be considered when buying this kind of men’s fashion accessories. A tie can make or break your whole attire if it’s not proportion to your height. So if you are tall, you will look best if you choose a long tie and vice versa if you are shorter.
According to fashion tie experts, the best way to know the right length of the tie that best suit to your height, is that the triangular point at its wide end should meet your bucket when it’s tied properly around your neck. As much as possible, the tip of your tie should extend ½ inch past to your belt line.
3. Complement the Color of tie to your Dress Shirt or Suit
After choosing the quality and the right length of the tie that best suits for you, the next thing you need to consider is its color. Selecting the appropriate color of the tie should be matched with the color of your dress shirt or suit. So it’s necessary to know how to coordinate well its color to your attire for you to have a right balance and harmony.
For Plain White Dress Shirts
Any colored tie will match with a plain white dress shirt. So you will never go wrong in choosing in any of your tie especially if you are still in any doubt in dealing with its color combination.
For Colored Dress Shirts
The best way to complement a tie with your colored dress shirts is to create a contrast. Basically, if you have a dark dress shirt, it’s recommended to use a light colored tie. On the other hand, if your dress shirt has a light color, you should use a dark colored tie. Wearing the same color of tie and dress shirt is also possible provided that the tie should be either lighter or darker with the color of the dress shirt.
For Stripped or Checkered Dress Shirts
If you have a stripped or checkered dress shirt, just select a tie with a color that matches the dominant color of the stripes or checks in the dress shirt.
4. Coordinate the Pattern of tie to your Dress Shirt
Dealing with patterns is really hard in choosing the right tie that matches well with your dress shirt. Unlike with plain dress shirts that only included the color coordination while choosing a tie, ties for the stripped or checkered dress shirts must also consider its pattern coordination. That’s because patterns can also turn you down if they are not well-complemented so you really need to be very careful in coordinating them.
A tie with box pattern, pin or polka dots can be matched to a stripped dress shirt. For checkered shirts, you can also wear a tie with diagonal stripes. But be sure to choose a color that complements well with the dominant color of the dress shirt before dealing with patterns.
And you must also consider the size of the stripes or the checks. Always remember that they should be different with the size of the stripes of your dress shirt to avoid looking dizzy. If you still in any doubt in dealing with patterns, just better consider the basic rule which is creating a contrast. So if you’re wearing a patterned dress shirt, just wear a solid colored tie and vice versa.
As soon as you get the tie that looks well with you, it’s really important to know how to tie it properly. This is your last step and the best key to look at your best with your tie.

Monday's Cut: David Beckham Shows His "Stuff" For Armani
I'm sure I am not the only girl who is jealous that Victoria Beckham has the hottest husband on the planet. But if I can't have David Beckham (and neither can you, sorry) then we can at least drool a little over his large, poster size...ad for Armani hanging from Macy's in San Francisco. I hear it overlooks a 6,000 seat amphitheater--how much do you want to bet women will be finding an excuse to have lunch at that amphitheater each day? I know I would.
Check it out for yourself on NY Mag's The Cut.

Review: C'watre Kanreki Wash
C'watre is a very unique and interesting beauty brand. Their products revolve around using modified sea water (Odoroki) to promote healthy skin. Since I've never seen a surfer with bad skin (have you?) I figured I would give their Kanreki Wash a try.
C'watre's Kanreki Wash is a combination of Odoroki, skin moisturizers such as aloe and sweet almond oil; exfoliants Pinetree Extract and Salicylic Acid, as well as the anti-oxidant, White Tea Extract. The consistency is very thin when you smooth it over your face to wash away the day's impurities. When you rinse it off, your skin is left feeling clean and tighter--like the sensation you get when you use toner.
I've been using it for a few weeks and I have to say, it has been working very well. My skin seems to breaking out less, is less oily and just seems more balanced overall.
If you've tried it, I'd love to hear what you thought.

Review: FitFlops
Walking is a part of our daily lives. For some more than others, if they live in a big city and their feet are their mode of transportation. For those of us, with less active lives, walking is just a means of getting to point A to point B. In the summer I love to wear flip flops. I'm a girl whose feet love to be sock-free to show off a fresh pedicure, but flip flops have no arch support and tend to feel a bit uncomfortable by days end. Then I met the FitFlop and I haven't stopped telling people about it since (really, ask everyone in NEPA).
My job requires me to sit at my desk all day and I'm also a self-admitted workaholic. I can't say I've ever really allowed myself much time for exercise. Yet these amazing FitFlops not only feel like I am walking on stablized-like tempurpedic foam, but they are built in such a way that works my leg muscles as I walk. They come in great styles, so I have a great looking flip flop. I have to admit, I was so skeptical before I received them, but as soon as you put them on your feet you immediately realize they are a very different type of shoe. Function+Fashion=the right shoe for me.
It does take a day or two to get used to them. What happens is that it's almost this "rocking" type movement that they create that causes your body to force yourself to balance as you walk. Almost like being on a balance ball and how it works your core--just imagine that balance ball being in the center area of your shoe. The FitFlop works the back of your calves, your upper thighs and yes even your behind. Believe me, I feel it. Not in a painful I-just-worked-out-for-an-hour type feeling, but you can actually feel that these shoes are working your muscles.
Have I noticed my legs looking firmer? I've only been wearing them for a few weeks, so I can't say there is any definitive difference, but I can feel it working and my take on it is--I can wear flip flops as I normally would or I can wear FitFlops and put those muscles into action.
I'll stick with the FitFlops. www.thefitflop.com
Review: FitFlops
Walking is a part of our daily lives. For some more than others, if they live in a big city and their feet are their mode of transportation. For those of us, with less active lives, walking is just a means of getting to point A to point B. In the summer I love to wear flip flops. I'm a girl whose feet love to be sock-free to show off a fresh pedicure, but flip flops have no arch support and tend to feel a bit uncomfortable by days end. Then I met the FitFlop and I haven't stopped telling people about it since (really, ask everyone in NEPA).
My job requires me to sit at my desk all day and I'm also a self-admitted workaholic. I can't say I've ever really allowed myself much time for exercise. Yet these amazing FitFlops not only feel like I am walking on stablized-like tempurpedic foam, but they are built in such a way that works my leg muscles as I walk. They come in great styles, so I have a great looking flip flop. I have to admit, I was so skeptical before I received them, but as soon as you put them on your feet you immediately realize they are a very different type of shoe. Function+Fashion=the right shoe for me.

Review: CLEAN Summer Eau Fraiche & Soft Refreshing Lotion
Have you ever felt like you just wanted to take the sweet scents of summer and bottle it up so that you can let your mind drift back any time you want to those lazy days on the beach when the ocean air gently lingered on your sun-kissed skin? No matter the date or time of the year, you can always put your finger on the exact "fragrance" that represents summer. CLEAN has launched two new products that are the essence of just that: CLEAN Summer Eau Fraiche and CLEAN Summer Soft Refreshing Lotion.
CLEAN Summer Eau Fraiche has less alcohol than Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette. This unique formula contains moisturizing Aloe Leaf and Chamomile extracts. Your senses will delight in pure extracts of Italian Limoncello, Crisp Bergamont, Rose Ice, Mirabelle Plum and Lily of the Valley. It reminds me of the fragrance of the flowers that line the sand dunes along the Rhode Island shoreline.
CLEAN Summer Soft Refreshing Lotion has a consistency of a pearlized gel and will refresh your senses with invigorating peppermint, Wintergreen leaf extracts, grape seed and avocado oils (I swear I smelled some grapefruit in there too!) The fragrance comes on very strong at first, but as the hours pass, it gently softens.
It is sold exclusively at HSN as a 2.14 oz. Eau Fraiche & 2 oz. lotion set. HSN has offered limited sneak preview purchasing, otherwise this set officially launches in July and will only be available until the end of the month--so once July 1st hits, act fast and scoop it up!

Review: Aloette's Hot Soy Manicure Treatment Candle
So you thought hot dripping candle wax was only for those about to engage in some...playtime. Aloette's Hot Soy Manicure Treatment Candle will quickly change your mind and have you wanting to indulge in this innovative and heavenly manicure product.
The fragrance is absolutely dreamy--an orange creamsicle, sweet and delicious. The candle burns clean with a cotton wick. It heats up the soy, orange and vanilla oil combination to which you can dip your finger into (once the flame is blown out of course!) and rub the oil over your cuticles and massage into your hands to heal cracks and dryness. The warm oil feels great on your skin, almost like a paraffin treatment.
I absolutely love this candle and keep it at my desk. The fragrance will lift your spirits and the oils will soothe your skin. Your hands will be ready for that polish in no time and you'll have people asking for the business card of your manicurist.
$29.95 www.aloette.com (in the Spa Indulgence section)
