Is your man cold?
Many are. But if it’s simply a clothing issue, I found a way to warm them up.
Right now, Bloomies (which you may know as Bloomingdales, for the less-intimate), is having their Men’s Sweater Sale.

Is there a male in your life you want to think you are incredibly cool? Utter the words: “I had breakfast with Michael Jordan this morning.”
Ideally, when you utter these words you will, in fact, be telling the truth: Which I am.

Known for its vibrant use of color to tweak classic shapes, Lafont’s titanium frames are not only lightweight, but sturdy, too.
Here, Tom Daschle sports the Providence style in a sophisticated shade of red.
Who says that politicians have to toe the party line?
If eyeglasses reveal something about the person who wears them, Mr. Daschle is cut from a different cloth. Change we can believe in, indeed!
