"You don't have to break the bank when it comes to buying dad something he will appreciate and enjoy," says Dabrowski. "Give your dad a gift that he will actually use and appreciate. Even if it means spending quality time together," he added.

He offered up these 10 ideas for dad this Father's Day.

Clothes Shopping: Is Buying Only One Brand Too Boring?

May 29, 2009 at 12:46 PM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (8)

I want to look stylish and wear nice clothes, but this is a problem for me because I'm severely impaired in the shopping department.

I don't have money, time, patience, or follow fashion trends.

So this is how I compensate -- I buy 80 percent of my clothes at one store: J.Crew. The style is totally me -- a blend of romantic and sleek casual. The clothes fit my particular body type really well.

Yes, it's an expensive store. But before you accuse me of being rich, I must tell you that J.Crew has fantastic sales.

I did something bad. OK, not that bad. But it seems the couple of pairs of summery shoes I bought over the winter are just really impractical. Heel is too high and really low on comfort. I have one pair that I love but I wear them everyday and need another pair, preferably a wedge...and not a flat, but with a heel I can manage.

By the way, I live in heels, so I can manage well with a wedge like this.

fullofhope325 says that her husband is really helpful when they go shopping. It seems Carmen Electra has a helpful man by her side, too.

Topshop, the well-priced British shop that offers the latest trends and a line by Kate Moss, opened in NYC last week. Friday night was a celebrity-fest -- Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, and Simon Cowell were there! 

I decided to brave it on Saturday morning. Perhaps the young fashionistas would still be asleep from partying too much the night before.
