I can't stress it enough the importance of skin care and maintenance for men. And it's during the cold season that a skincare regimen is most needed. Protecting your face against the harsh elements will have long term benefits. Keep in mind, it's never to late to start a regimen of your own.Skincare products and grooming tools are the key in achieving and maintaining a healthy-looking skin. If you shave with disposable razor blades even if you use top-of-the-line skincare products defeats their purpose.

As much as possible invest on grooming tools that works with your regimen. Also, having your best face forward involves maintaining your eyebrows, nose hair and facial hair. If you have to tweez then go for it. You can also have your eyebrows wax once a month or on your next haircut. So, if you know someone who follows a skincare regimen but lacks the right grooming tools. Give him the tools he's been missing!

I think there are some guys who secretly wants a trendy designer bag. May it be for traveling, the gym, work or for everyday use. I remember shopping with my brother at Nordstrom and told him that I'll buy him a new bag for school. And as we are browsing, I noticed that he wasn't really looking at the bags. I kept on showing him designer bag after designer bag and all he say is yeah that looks good or it's cool. I later asked him why he seemed uninterested, he said handbag shopping is a girl thing. Oh brother! Long story short, he eventually told me that he liked the Tumi Messenger Bag we saw at the store.

Goes to show that us, men wouldn't mind getting a trendy gym bag, messenger bag or designer luggage as a gift this holiday. I guess this gift is best suited for someone who travels frequently for work. It would be nice to have something to remember you by when he's away from home. Makes homesickness a little better to handle.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, you know what that means Christmas is just around the corner. The spirit of giving is in the air and we will start shopping for gifts for people dear to our heart. So, I decided to create a series of smart gift ideas for guys and the ladies. Every week 'The Smart Stylist' will feature 3 smart gift ideas as part of '12 Smart Gifts for the Holidays'.

Modern, young and fun is always expected from Paul Smith. And it doesn't matter whom the gift is for. It can be your dad, brother or friend, Paul Smith transcends any age and never go out of style. 

Paul Smith Belts have a sense of humor and trendy styles. Great gifts for guys into music and arts. Like the guitar belt buckle ( $135.00 eluxury ) for the rock n' roller in your life or a 'art noveau' inspired geometric belt ( $195.00 eluxury ) for your aspiring artist.

For casual everyday look, fun and whimsical cufflinks and ties are the way to go. Have a dog lover on your list? Paul Smith has a pair of dog cufflinks ( $95.00 eluxury ) that are pretty cool. And as for ties, go for skinny ties. They are easy to pair with any shirt. Guys, ties you wear for work should be worn at work. If you're planning on giving neckwear to someone, pick one that is simple yet trendy and colors that are easy to wear.

In the green world of eco-friendly fashion, the creative application of the reduce, re-use and recycle mantra is just beginning to bear its fruit. This week's Smart EcoStyle is a refreshing detour for the road-wary.

Love me some Gucci! I remember when I was about seven years old, I asked my dad what does his watch says. He said Gucci. And that was my first time being introduced to the Gucci brand. Through the years, Gucci has developed their watch collections. This watch from the 'G Chrono' collection is elegant and very handsome. Priced at $1,795.00 a little steep but I feel it's worth every penny. I like the black watch which has Gucci's signature red and green logo.

I had in mind a checklist on what I was looking for. Chic, Trendy and Priced Right.  And that choice is the 'Cup Cake' timepieces from designer Julia Cocco'. The name and the designs are fun and whimsical and for $165.00 that's not bad at all. I just ordered the white watch and can't wait to get it.
