Jungle fever -- the leaf-print trend

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

A new trend for the season doesn't involve animal skin patterns, but leaves. iVillage.com writes about leaf-print products - shoes, dresses, and bathing suits.

I've never been too fond of animal print (leopard, cheetah -- whatever wild animal it may be). However, this twist on a "nature" theme pattern is quite refreshing to the male perspective. No longer must I see the gold and black patterns that should forever be banned, I'm happy to say that pleasing shades of green are in.

It's quite obvious that I can't say Wow, I would LOVE to wear this. I can, however, honestly say that a few of these items I would love to see on a significant other.

This keyhole leafprint dress (which functions as a halter-style or tube-dress look) is perfect for the dog-days of summer, maybe a shoeless sunset stroll on the beach.

One of my biggest turnoffs -- a leopard-print bathing suit. Luckily, Gap is with the program this season and has this palm-style print bathing suit, just the thing to avoid those gold and black polka dots.

Summer cocktails

Filed under: Fashionable Food

Cosmopolitan magazine is well known for its provocative and sometimes inappropriate sex advice. However, from my inside sources (girlfriends), I find out the other secrets hiding within those pages of perfume samples and bikini models.

This week - summer cocktail recipes. Summer's halfway over, but it's not getting any colder outside. Cosmo has prepared a fine list of colorful cocktails that don't just taste good, but look the part as well (and are sure to impress the ladies).

The watermelon martini is destined to be a poolside favorite, while the kerasi (Greek for "cherry") is more of a Hey, let's go watch the sunset kind of drink.

I've learned, albeit slowly, that having a go-to cocktail recipe for female guests is an absolute necessity. Guys, take note. Ladies, slip this list in his mailbox.
