{ glamourai gift guide } love for the lads

i have absolutely no problem buying gifts for the ladies in my life ~ it's like shopping for myself! however, the men i love are much more challenging; they just don't need all the stuff that we (read: i) do.

however, they do seem to appreciate the occasional, thoughtfully selected accessory, album, or experience. in case you also have trouble deciding what to buy for the fellows you're fond of, here are a few ideas inspired by the big pony collection colognes (and the men who wear them well):

{ the sportsman in your life might like / clockwise from above left: apc checkered scarf, super sunglasses ($175), tickets to watch a favorite sports team (plus an assurance that he doesn't have to take you with him!), lark+wolff by steven alan striped pullover ($48), queens of the stone age's rated r ($10), digby & iona hunter + hunted cufflinks ($120), ralph lauren tartan belt ($75), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50), west elm ipod speakers ($45) }


{ sexy is the man who has the perfect music for every moment, can rock horn-rims and a bowtie, and knows his way around the kitchen / clockwise from above left: matthew dear's black city ($12), jenson wood turntable ($88), chronicles of never glasses ($277), banana republic bowtie ($60), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50), private collection photography book ($70), what to cook and how to cook it by jane hornby ($26), ralph lauren slippers ($75), leg lamp ($40) }


{ for the rugged and roguish / clockwise from above left: plaid sweatshirt, antler bottle opener, pendleton picnic blanket ($78), amphigorey also by edward gorey ($15), dude no.1 beard oil ($65), stanley flask ($18), urban outfitters boots ($78), ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50) }


{ inspired especially by my own special someone / clockwise from above left: ralph lauren big pony collection cologne ($50), in between by guy bourdin ($50), nixon watch ($60), eskuche headphones ($58), omega shaving brush ($12), chronicles of never boots ($400), anthropologie haberdasher's candle, the horrors' primary colors ($13), ralph lauren tartan wallet ($375), banana republic collar stays ($12.50) }
