GC701 Reminisce About The Old Days

Have you parted with your partying days? Perhaps because of age, or some pressing commitment, or both? Everyone, no matter how tough or how carefree they may be, at some point in time, will say goodbye to their days of all night beer drinking and partying. Age becomes a factor, and of course limitations due to deteriorating health. No one can be the life of the party forever, because internal organs have a certain limit, after which their hardships will be manifested by some sicknesses. Or the stop light can become at a much earlier phase, when one gets married and starts a family, perhaps, and wants to send a good model to the kids. During these days, you will start trading your personalized beer mugs with designer cufflinks and corporate wear as you strive to earn enough to raise the family. And while you may still carry a personalized mug to work every day, it will be one of coffee or water, but definitely not a beer. The personalized monogram sports mug will have to be relegated to the recreation room or in the garage or basement, when you have those poker nights with the boys or you have some other party of your own going on. Saying goodbye to your bachelor and college student days don’t have to be so bad. It only means that you are dealing with more mature, more fulfilling roles in your life. So there is no need to fret, really. Be thankful for the old days, be grateful for what you have today, and you can always reminisce the old days with fondness.

P20009-B_medium-01-01 Let Your Ties Do The Talking

Working in a corporate environment gives you a lot of training. Not just those you receive formally, or those directly connected with what you do, but in social behavior as well. Working with people will certainly improve your personality, if you care to listen to the signs and if you are open to receiving criticisms that will help improve you. For example, you may have heard some criticisms or comments about how you look or how you dress up, most probably done behind your back or ever so subtly. You should not get irritated and instead focus on how you can use these comments to improve the way you dress up. Firstly, you should always have fresh and clean clothes on, no matter what kind of day it is. You should never wear an unwashed shirt, even if the shirt you wear has not been sweated on. Human body when in contact with a cloth will definitely emit some odor, and although you feel you did not sweat at all, you are not so sure. Never be without designer cufflinks and business ties. A shirt without a necktie seems casual and the absence of a necktie is very visible. You want your necktie to talk for you, to tell the world that you are someone who knows how to dress well. Especially a necktie that is so sophisticated like the black-sage business silk tie. So the next time you hear some remarks about anything and you feel that it is not such a nice remark, use it to improve your performance and personality instead of getting riled up by it.

RR-241 Subtle Style

Men are not expected to be very stylish. Ordinarily, it is enough for them to be clean and well kept. Some men will even be rugged but they should be hygienic. But it is not very often that men are considered connoisseurs of fashion. Who can blame them? They wear the same kind of clothing everyday – pants, long sleeved shirts, jackets. That’s what they wear to work everyday, and still what they wear to non-work activities like parties, dinners and the like. The prints and textile may vary but the cut and design is always the same. Even with jackets, there are very few choices available for men. There is the two-buttoned jacket, or the three-buttoned jacket, and that’s about it. But the thing about men is that their style is not so much about what they wear, but more about how they wear it. And men’s style is dictated by the littlest of things, like designer cufflinks, their socks, their neckties and watches. These things are not so blatantly displayed but they spell all the difference. A man who wears skinny ties, for example, will be considered fashionable. Similarly, someone who will wear a pair of blue cufflinks like the blue royal crystal cufflinks will be called someone with good taste. Watches, likewise, spell the difference. The more stylish the watch is, the more fashionable the wearer is. It doesn’t have to be studded with diamonds and other precious gems, but it just has to be manly. All these little things matter, even though they are not so blatantly seen. After all, the devil is in the details and when it comes to men’s fashion, this could not be truer.

BCL-MS-732 Stereotypes We Can’t Get Away With

People will always stereotype you according to how you present yourself to them. That doesn’t mean, though, that they think less of you, or that you are not good enough to mingle with them. It is just people’s behavior and whether they admit it or not, they cannot help but pass judgment based on what they initially see on you. For example, if you are wearing black and white checkerboard, they might stereotype you as the nerd type, one who likes chess, one who is not outgoing hence the lack of color. If you wear vintage swank cufflinks, people may set your profile as someone who dates back in time, who prefers the old ways to the new ones, who is definitely not modern.  They may picture you as wearing old clothes compared to the ones displayed on department store racks. When you wear the latest designer cufflinks, they will think of you of someone who is fashionable, may even brand you as somebody vain, at least someone who is concerned about how he looks. While we always preach about how stereotyping is not so good, the truth of the matter is that people will always do this. They will always form their initial opinion and impression of you based on what they see. And maybe it is not so bad. Because it will make you be more careful on how you dress, you will take better care of yourself then. What will be bad is that when these stereotyping hinders you from actually connect with people.

PD-MSC-SL Music in Any Language

Music is universal. It does not follow and succumb to societal limitations and definitions. We see this everytime and it will be hard to argue with this truth. Just look at how people who have never spoken a word of Italian appreciate opera music and you will be convinced to this truth. The same reason why English people who cannot understand Spanish can appreciate love songs done in that language. In fact, even without words, music can move a lot of people to feel happy, sad, or nostalgic depending on what emotion the music conveys. This is also the reason why babies who are not yet aware of what’s going on in the world, react to music. Because music speaks to the soul, and that is why it is the universal language. Everybody loves music and there was a time when music was thought to be the way towards world peace. Music is love and it is universal. So perhaps there is some wisdom, after all, to the belief that music can bring together warring countries, people of different races. In fact it is amazing how class, age, gender and other boundaries are transgressed when it comes to music. It is the great equalizer. Show your appreciation for music not only by buying legal copies of your favorite songs but also by wearing a nice pair of music cufflinks fashioned as designer cufflinks. The musical note cufflinks certainly shows the world what you appreciate most, and chances are, they can relate to you and look at you as a brother.

PD-45R-SL The Good Old Days

Today’s lifestyles revolve around technology and convenience.  Everything is about comfort, convenience, being able to do so many things at the same time. For example, nowadays a mobile telephone will not be appreciated if it does not function as a camera, music player, and a game device. It needs to do all these, and it is not enough that it can call and send messages. A car is not enough if it can only transport people from place to place. It should also be able to hold food and beverages, play music, play movies, and navigate for the driver. And everything also needs to be compact. It needs to take up less and less space. The less space it requires, the better it is. That is why gadgets with multiple capabilities are all the rage. Gone are the days when appliances and equipment had specific and dedicated functions. They also no longer require such big spaces. In the past, a record player will only be a record player. Not only that, one player will be for the 45 records, while one will be for cassette tapes. Those were the days, and although they do not offer the same convenience and compactness as today’s gadgets, they were nevertheless good. Reminisce with a pair of music cufflinks, the Old 45 record cufflinks. These designer cufflinks may give a hint on just how old you really are but they will also bring back happy memories. They will even start some nice conversations with your colleagues, those who have lived long enough to spin the record, so to speak.

CC-MSC-SL Pay Respect to Classical Musicians

Do you have any idea how hard it is to make it in the music industry? You would never really know how hard it is, unless you have been inside. All we see are the glamour, the fame, the wealth, the fantastic costumes, the rock star lifestyle they lead. But in reality, it took a lot of pain, effort, sweat, blood, tears and time before they were able to get where they can. They had to sacrifice a lot of their personal time just to be able to make it. And for a lot other musicians, those names and faces we never see in recording stores, it is a very unrewarding profession. A lot of people compromise their art just to make it. Not everyone makes money with music and for musicians to be able to sustain their art and their craft, they need money. So a lot of them compromise what they would really like to play, or sing, for the more commercial, more mainstream kind of music. Their hope is that someday, when they have made enough of a name for themselves to be able to dictate and command, they will be able to go back to their genre. That is why classical musicians are so commendable. They have the guts to stick with the less commercial, less popular, more elite kind of music. If you like this specific music, why not wear some classical sheet music cufflinks to replace your usual designer cufflinks from time to time? These music cufflinks look good and they can show your appreciation for the music of the intelligent people.

p-517 Photographs and Memories

Have you ever met anyone who did not carry a picture of their loved ones with them? They carry it in their wallets, little snapshots of their kids or their girlfriend or their partners. And now that almost everyone has a camera with them on their smart phones, they carry it around on their cellular phones. In the office or in any work station, there will always be photographs of family members, friends, even pets lying around. Of course it serves as an inspiration, but in reality people do not need much reminding about who it is they are working so hard for, why they need to go up to the office even when what they really like is to lounge around in the pool. The truth is that people just really like to look at pictures of their loved ones, and they love to show them around, too. They love to talk about them and why not, don’t you love to talk about the things you love, much more the persons you love? There is a new way to bring photos around. It’s not the usual pendant and locket or photo frames, it’s the photo picture cufflinks. These designer cufflinks fashioned as sterling silver cufflinks acts like a button, with the photograph you provided printed on the surface.  This is certainly a very innovative way to bring about pictures of loved ones. It is very subtle and yet very personal. And most of all, a very novel way to bring around your loved ones and memories with you all the time.
