The Irish Culture
September 18th, 2009
The map of Ireland cufflinks (Ireland) is very significant to those who have lived in Ireland or those who has Irish heritage that they don’t want to leave behind. Others who have visited and fell in love with Ireland would be very much excited to find out that they can actually take home a keepsake of their most favorite nation apart from their own.
The infamous The Smiths vocalist Morrissey couldn’t even help but sing about his Irish blood, English heart. Ireland has contributed a lot to the rest of the world even during their down times. If we remember our history vividly, it was during the Irish potato famine when many of them went to America to seek a better life. That’s how the Irish heritage spread all over the world.
Their contribution ranges from making our Halloween and Christmas extra special with their rich cultural lores. They are the land of the Celts, the Celts whose technological and cultural advancements were of no question back in the classical times. They were able to survive and became independent from any European empire back then. That’s how their culture became so rich and unadulterated.
In fact, alternative subcultures and countercultures nowadays take a lot from the Celts. Wiccan is now widely acceptable compared to before when those who practices witchcraft were punished through burning at the stake. Now they are just there doing their thing without harming others.
If you love the Irish culture so much, show it by wearing stamp cufflinks that represent the country. These designer cufflinks is one of those.

September 16th, 2009
It is not as though you are to use these convex mirror cufflinks to retouch your make up or to re-do your hair. The idea is to turn a functional object into something aesthetically pleasing.
Surely these silver cufflinks exemplify how possible it is to merge function and beauty in an extra-ordinary yet simple accessory. If there’s such thing as a functional jewelry, that can only be colored cufflinks. There’s no questioning that. Cufflinks were first made to simply replace the buttons on men’s shirt. But now, they are used by both men and women who wants to add a tinge of sophistication and class in their attire especially if they are going to a formal event or just for an everyday office suit.
Nonetheless, the beauty in cufflinks always lie in how important it is to make an ensemble work whether or not we are talking about its function to affix a French cuff or to function together with the rest of the elements of an attire.
Both ways seem to tell a lot about the person who is wearing the cufflinks. The convex mirror cufflinks are stylish and unassuming at the same time. It fits best those who would like to dress in style and yet who doesn’t want to attract the wrong attention.
It is also a safe gift to a friend who doesn’t seem to have specific preferences when it comes to cufflinks. A collector will also appreciate the innovation in terms of design and material used. Cufflink geek or no geek, the design is perfect for you and for your friends.
What a Good Collector Does
September 15th, 2009
We all need a space in the closet to store our cufflinks collection. It is important to take good care of our accessories as they can still be used by the generations to come. As years pass, it would also increase in value ; it might even save us during that rainy day.
To make sure that our designer cufflinks are always in good condition, we should place them inside cufflink boxes. It is best if we could preserve their original boxes but that takes a lot of space in our wardrobe. The next best thing then is to fit everything in a 20 pair mahogany cufflinks box.
The material alone that was used for the box is reason enough for us to rely on it. Mahogany is a strong wood that would last as long as the cufflinks last. It is strong and it will protect the cufflinks from any possible scratches. It will also regulate the flow of foreign objects inside the box to help prevent tarnishing and other unnecessary marks and discoloration on our cufflinks collection.
If we really want to preserve our cufflinks for our heirs, it is important to have not just one of these cufflinks boxes. Everytime we buy a new pair of cufflinks for our collection, try to make it a point that we get to wear the cufflinks at least once before we shelf it. Feel the cufflinks. Let yourself experience it first so that you’ll know how important it is for you. That’s the true spirit of being a collector.
Brown Neckties are Back!
September 12th, 2009
Business executives and office clerks has one thing in common: they both need to own a handful of neckties that fit their suit best. The main difference is that business executives can afford the luxury of pairing these neckties with a pair of elegant designer cufflinks.
But that doesn’t mean that office clerks or those who earn just a little above the minimum wage should be left behind when it comes to fashion and style. Even if they can’t afford cufflinks made of precious stones, neckties alone should do the trick. Just make sure that you know the right color combination.
Aside from that, you have to know what’s “in” in men’s fashion today. Want to know what is? Brown neckties! You heard that right. We see them Hollywood celebrities parading the red carpet wearing a good old black suit paired withlight tan silk tie with paisley pattern and that alone made them the gorgeous gods that they are.
Then again, you don’t need to spend too much to achieve the same look. A nice and tidy suit that you have worn at least once or twice would be good for that black tie event as long as you have it accented with a necktie of the same shade. Always remember that the brown ones should be a staple in your wardrobe as they fit almost all types of suits.
Just remember the rule when it comes to tie and suit: patterned suits go with plain ties while plain suits go with both plain and patterned ties.
Own That Promotion with the Right Cufflinks
September 11th, 2009
The design on the steward plaid pattern cufflinks is quite iconic. In case you are wondering, the design dates back from the time of Queen Elizabeth II. That only can give it an air of elegance and sophistication which is perfect for your first-class business suit.
Besides, that’s what designer cufflinks are all about—elegance and sophistication. Most executive cufflinks can only be seen worn by the upper-hands in the company. In fact, they cannot be bought in just about any jewelry stops and online stores out there. They are carefully crafted by experienced artisans and the designs were scrupulously selected as well.
True jewelers and fashion designers know how important it is to put on the best cufflinks there is in order to complete a business attire. You wouldn’t believe how strong the impression you are going to make by the sheer sight of executive cufflinks. It gives out an air of authority and competence. You can easily lure a follower without even uttering a single word.
But such impression would not work all throughout single-handedly. You have to constantly prove the impression true, meaning, you have to show these people that the impression was right all along. That’s why they call it impression, right?
In other words, cufflinks would only do the trick if you are real worthy of that job promotion or that special pat on the back from your boss. It is not a fast-track passes to your goal; it is only one of those methods of getting there.
Heed the Cancer Sign
September 10th, 2009
If you don’t mind having your personality boxed inside one of the twelve zodiacs, these zodiac sign cufflinks would be more than meaningful to you.
Many people believe that there are some basis behind the zodiac. You have to admit that the very idea has been well thought out much like all other myths.
Whether you are a fan of the zodiac because you are fond of the different ways people try to make sense of their lives or because you really do believe that these zodiac represent your personality, wearing silver cufflinks with your sign is both stylish and interesting.
At this point, let’s try and put our focus on last month’s zodiac which is cancer. According to astrologists, those who are under the cancer sign are romantic, creative and imaginative. They are also very caring and lovable. Cancer people tend to develop long-term relationships because they are very understanding and mature. They can easily handle situations that involve intimate relationships.
All in all, they have strong world views that help them out in understanding people. They always try and get pass through other people’s façade. Thus, they are able to deal with almost any type of people. They are not really extraverted but they can easily relate to the point that they only need to wear a nice pair of cancer cufflinks as a conversation starter and the rest of the night would be an enjoyable one for her or for that potential mate. And mind you, cancer people would not waste an opportunity like that.
Losing the Sentimentality
September 9th, 2009
There’s the need to dress in style and the need to wear what seems to feel right. Wearing these vermeil gold locket cufflinks represent the latter. At first, you would think otherwise, wearing any pair of 14kt gold cufflinks is of course stylish and elegant. Truth is that, both are satisfied in such a pair of cufflinks. Only, having the photos and initials of four of your favorite people or think in the world is more sentimental than stylish.
That’s it. Sentimental. Never did fashion become sentimental. Even statement shirts do not necessarily mean that you are wearing something important to you emotionally or mentally. Fashion is all about aesthetic value and making up a good image.
Gwen Stefani can become the rock alternative chick we could not relate to but in the end, she could be the sweet and sassy pop icon we know of today. And we saw that in her as a fashion critic. We rarely talk about the changes in terms of musicality, lifestyle or principles. Fashion and that’s it.
No wonder our view of artists today is as subjective and fleeting as that. It’s because we choose to think of ourselves as superficial beings who only need a grand makeover to change how we feel about ourselves.
We often say that to wear fashionable clothes will boost our self-confidence. That just by looking at our skinnier, sexier and younger in the mirror, we could already boost our confidence. That by wearing a sophisticated pair of gold cufflinks, we could already change the way our bosses think about us.
Getting Hold of the City with Stop Light Cufflinks
September 4th, 2009
What could be said about the city? Some see it as ruthless. Some see it as advanced and leads society to new possibilities.
Generalizations like these aren’t always accurate. In fact, the two polarized view of the city often puts the urban man as the rope in a tug-of-war that is to split his being open if not wholly exposed to unfriendly and very, very unstable weather.
But, disregarding the city’s effects on man, the conclusions earlier nevertheless suggest the city’s nature: of speed, ready to claim time and space. Under such idealization, we may have the stop light as the perfect representation of the city. The stop light when perceived in its materiality, specifically its role in the city everyday, acts as the conscience that retains reason within. The problem in that argument is that the stop light is mechanical and is bound to fail always some time soon.
So how about the one that is alive? How about you, who had lived in the city for so long? How are you to define yourself with regards to the geography you are located in?
It’s quite odd to realize that when we refer to our mobility, we only do it because of a drive to leave something rather than it being simply innate. And talking about intentions, referring to our mobility, especially considering where we are located in a society, should remind us that change is not free flowing, the same with stop lights giving the city’s chaos a reason to strive for order.
And what gives you order? What makes your image? You do have a suit do you? Then you’ll be needing designer cufflinks. Celebrate our mobility by having car cufflinks. Be proud of being in control by flaunting that stop light cufflinks in a roomful of people. Be your crowd’s reason within. Define yourself and be located.
“Beering” the Right to Free Beer by Wearing Cufflinks
September 3rd, 2009
What is a bar but a hang-out place during languid hours? What are its patrons but mere drunkards wasting time and money on draft? Well, these are the most common misconceptions by people who think trivial of bars, of beer-drinking and of the nightlife.
Bars are actually a place where men can be themselves again, escaping all household chores brought to their lap by their Mrs. In the bar, every man gets to reclaim their freedom that they wouldn’t even have to mind personal health.
Surely, if there is one thing that men need, that is the comfort of other men. No matter how gay that sounds, it is a given fact that men are wolves who, although have the capability to be independent and hunt for themselves, needs to belong to a pack. Being in the pack made them and to be completely separated from it would mark their unmaking.
And this isn’t just plain hormonal reaction. Such claims are proven by the sudden swelling of organizations in the country promoting masculinity and exclusive only to men. There is even one named after the sofa-burning, donut-devouring and draft-diving Homer Simpson of The Simpsons fame. The group strives for the complete freedom of men from all household obligations and the emancipation not only of masculinity but of the whole society from independence. They do this by launching activities such as the 12-hour beer-drinking marathon that would train husbands to be more dependent on their wives and children.
Think their idea of an organization is funny as funny cufflinks? If you do, then you’re not the only one laughing. If you think their vision is weird, then you’d die in knowing that full-fledged members are given Homer Simpson Crest cufflinks that comes with additional benefits (like free tons of beer) to acknowledge their loyalty. The cufflinks symbolizes the fraternal relations between men in between bottles of beer. And if they have silver cufflinks, who knows what other ceremonies they have? Haven’t had enough oddity? Try joining!
