Turn a Dinner for Two into a Breakfast in Bed
By Amy Covington for Belisi Fashions

Whether you waited until the last minute and can’t get a reservation at a decent restaurant or you want to surprise your Valentine with a little (or a lot) of romance, a home-cooked meal will earn you bonus points in the double digits.

You’re young, single and rising up the corporate ladder. You want to see the world but your travel partners are your college buddies or maybe other male executives. Traveling as a couple is markedly different than with your single guy friends. With a significant other you might stay at a spa hotel or bed & breakfast. Your activities consist of joint massages and romantic dinners.

There are a lot of stories circulating the airwaves, so I've picked out some lifestyle stories for busy guys like you. I'll let CNN keep you abreast of world events, but you can come here for tips on living it up, dressing your best and how to keep pace in this crazy world by knowing the coolest music, fashion and trends.

This week's music list comes from Mad Men (AMC's new show). What do you think of the show? Wish you could still pinch girl's behinds and call them sweetheart and not get slapped with a lawsuit? Or do you like sharing the power with female counterparts?

Either way, this playlist is pretty good.

This week's music picks come from StraightRazr.com. This mood-setting list includes Van Morrison, Willie Nelson and The Subdudes.

What are your favorite tunes to set the mood?

007, ethnic print, futuristic military, bold colors, retro, geometric shapes, metallics. Previews of men’s fall fashion covered the gamut, from sleek and polished to reworked traditional and preppy to vampy and 70-80s inspired. While the direction seems scattered, one trend is consistent: men’s fashion is taking a decidedly retroactive/futuristic and more feminine direction, with sleeker, narrow lines, geometric patterns and bold colors and prints.
