Simpson appears to have been right on the money, as while on the pitch the ex-England captain is a man who loves being in the thick of the action, off-field he’s a man very comfortable with his masculinity who enjoys wearing, well, everything. From suits to hoodies, chunky boots, leather, tattoos, skimpy swimsuits, and sarongs -- if you can name it, David Beckham’s probably worn it.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgji6fFQJSzpIy5x9zv8nhy0ATy9tU3CaGShBtVpDA5YWYfRKIRlsMsS0bBZmlDQbcoEPUEDvIMje-nyKSwNEF5gjUX9avELJpSnuPJyEHzFOrvCMB5muBIyXNp5ryD9xzoVTz1XwN-770/s1600/Grace-Santorini-Hotel-0519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgji6fFQJSzpIy5x9zv8nhy0ATy9tU3CaGShBtVpDA5YWYfRKIRlsMsS0bBZmlDQbcoEPUEDvIMje-nyKSwNEF5gjUX9avELJpSnuPJyEHzFOrvCMB5muBIyXNp5ryD9xzoVTz1XwN-770/s640/Grace-Santorini-Hotel-0519.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Indeed, arguably his greatest accomplishment as a fashion icon was to show the world that it was possible to be a man’s man and still enjoy regular pedicures and Euro 240 haircuts. The LA Galaxy star's keen interest in his appearance coupled with his naturally good looks did not go amiss amongst fashion’s inner circle, and the lucrative brand Beckham has seen him, market his own collection of fragrances and appear in high-profile advertisements - witness how your girl reacted to the Armani advertisement in Oxford Street.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEuD9L0bXY_9jGxhYRBwds7Cly2yFpHk8O6A4U_AndS-SDozP9K-6r6fckH2AOe3-sB1vHNkxbzhfK3Ua4Nxlau-WfmPZze7e18BVzlepBD_8m4c_Ed4rPEGH1kXUIOEpNJ6VdYiQmbqQ/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEuD9L0bXY_9jGxhYRBwds7Cly2yFpHk8O6A4U_AndS-SDozP9K-6r6fckH2AOe3-sB1vHNkxbzhfK3Ua4Nxlau-WfmPZze7e18BVzlepBD_8m4c_Ed4rPEGH1kXUIOEpNJ6VdYiQmbqQ/s640/2.jpg" width="537" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The secret to bending it like Beckham is to mix things up. Always keeping people guessing requires staying on top of trends, knowing your basics, adopting a willingness to wear items out of context, rotating your look regularly, and not being afraid to break all the style rules. No wonder fashionable people everywhere admire David Beckham: He’s inspiring, confident and fun -- everything fashion is all about.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimHFT-BSFjYZPFouu6VbCGyI4_tUE53AUcqJ7ZjkWdujrOV1bd8J7QUI0Rq2QVI48lWld2ap3OResjF6Mk49o8OklZ-CNzLpPcu9pnmWhYDPoN6XEpugsxtDeUtW_Gn0_XIQdQSEZSU4A/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="547" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimHFT-BSFjYZPFouu6VbCGyI4_tUE53AUcqJ7ZjkWdujrOV1bd8J7QUI0Rq2QVI48lWld2ap3OResjF6Mk49o8OklZ-CNzLpPcu9pnmWhYDPoN6XEpugsxtDeUtW_Gn0_XIQdQSEZSU4A/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUEP5oDV57BO7s3gq1J4WsBfU4gpUvP7vZbm0WEr7QWwMjc4mBdngJ0evmVWzmNcqG_xAi628Lb3RrSKmCptA5PRXBkzBFrgOTFFX9Ik9c1jAxLPkQqJQvgLoBRDgY8TbXuq7gmGZY3aMh/s1600/1383895_10151621475166571_1612977547_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUEP5oDV57BO7s3gq1J4WsBfU4gpUvP7vZbm0WEr7QWwMjc4mBdngJ0evmVWzmNcqG_xAi628Lb3RrSKmCptA5PRXBkzBFrgOTFFX9Ik9c1jAxLPkQqJQvgLoBRDgY8TbXuq7gmGZY3aMh/s640/1383895_10151621475166571_1612977547_n.jpg" width="486" /></a></div><h3>Dressing The Beckham Way</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">David Beckham may be willing and able to wear just about anything and his day-to-day looks may seem like such a melange of pieces, but the world's most famous footballer definitely has a few standbys in his closet that he relies on. Sunglasses are one of his staples, as are all kinds of hats, belts with lots of hardware, long woolly scarves, logoed sports T-shirts, man purses, and of course, suits for red carpet appearances.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-es_u-iJuUxCklxipygsPp-Pfolto5a-DoG7LQZYtk9m8T4kYeMl_jX8SsNBhH2AU-2ogYAkC5tGqm8JeNMDkkC-R-zFgbfGe0nZ3XJF4y_vhyx2_VlsusCyF9NwareDDerSzPJm_vw/s1600/David-Beckham-Gallery-Fashions-with-His-Style-for-Men-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL-es_u-iJuUxCklxipygsPp-Pfolto5a-DoG7LQZYtk9m8T4kYeMl_jX8SsNBhH2AU-2ogYAkC5tGqm8JeNMDkkC-R-zFgbfGe0nZ3XJF4y_vhyx2_VlsusCyF9NwareDDerSzPJm_vw/s640/David-Beckham-Gallery-Fashions-with-His-Style-for-Men-3.jpg" width="387" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By far the most recognisable element of his vast wardrobe, however, is his distressed jeans, of which he likely has many, many pairs. <i>Diesel’s Zatiny 73J jeans</i> perfectly exemplify David Beckham’s preference when it comes to denim. They’re a slim-fit, boot cut that is faded and worn in all the right places and they manage to look fitted yet a little baggy at the same time. Like Britain’s most famous export, consider denim one of the building blocks of your wardrobe that will help you create an infinite number of ensembles. Try a plaid shirt, tie and cardigan for a funky but smart style. Or throw on a T-shirt, layer on the necklaces, don a toque and get yourself an ethnic-inspired hobo bag. As David Beckham has shown us, the possibilities are endless.</div><br />One word of caution: Don’t even think about trying to find these jeans in a knockoff version; we all know this man loves his labels, so you would be missing the point if you tried cutting corners<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Mho42SdI2aQaJu4D_uCN_S9NAsm20DDUz-Mx3spfM8CH1yBXmcIoYeNBaEs-hJs6pt80T1LOc118Rq1OUcT9zmlmXIAX8ibBGwCyQfLbZzA3MBgZqy-O5Vk389py96tO73lEnSKZwt0/s1600/David-Beckham-Gallery-Fashions-with-His-Style-for-Men.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Mho42SdI2aQaJu4D_uCN_S9NAsm20DDUz-Mx3spfM8CH1yBXmcIoYeNBaEs-hJs6pt80T1LOc118Rq1OUcT9zmlmXIAX8ibBGwCyQfLbZzA3MBgZqy-O5Vk389py96tO73lEnSKZwt0/s320/David-Beckham-Gallery-Fashions-with-His-Style-for-Men.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

As a boy, he worked to earn money to buy expensive suits and his love of style was rivaled only by his drive for success. Quoted in his high school yearbook as saying he hoped to become a millionaire, Lauren’s personal aspirations equipped him with a firm understanding of peoples' needs to project an air of accomplishment. So in 1967, as a young man with a vision, Ralph Lauren began selling neckties he designed himself under the Polo name. Following the release of his infamous Ralph Lauren polo shirt in 1972, Lauren became a household name almost overnight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMJAtJTcKUJzz23SaLnFGPHa85mx6UYDm5qaFqLYjpxkxZoUo7M9CL90Fngv_bNrtKr0GEErg1a29hB31F4vS2jBfhdQQdWCH24oZCDLRQkZwYbFSpPRCUl76bf7us_nJzAMwLXG_Jds/s1600/RalphLauren_pg124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">The fashion mogul now leads a $900 million business that </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMJAtJTcKUJzz23SaLnFGPHa85mx6UYDm5qaFqLYjpxkxZoUo7M9CL90Fngv_bNrtKr0GEErg1a29hB31F4vS2jBfhdQQdWCH24oZCDLRQkZwYbFSpPRCUl76bf7us_nJzAMwLXG_Jds/s1600/RalphLauren_pg124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMJAtJTcKUJzz23SaLnFGPHa85mx6UYDm5qaFqLYjpxkxZoUo7M9CL90Fngv_bNrtKr0GEErg1a29hB31F4vS2jBfhdQQdWCH24oZCDLRQkZwYbFSpPRCUl76bf7us_nJzAMwLXG_Jds/s400/RalphLauren_pg124.jpg" width="313" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">includes some 300 stores in the U.S. and approximately 100 others worldwide. A chief reason behind Ralph Lauren’s success is that what he sells is far more seductive to consumers than any particular product because he sells a lifestyle, and he was one of the first designers to do so. America’s most successful fashion designer has more branches of his label under his belt than you can count. Having long moved beyond apparel, the </span><span style="font-size: large;">Ralph Lauren brand has expanded to include fragrances</span><span style="font-size: large;">, a home line and much, much more. In 2007, the Council of Fashion Designers of America honored Lauren with the American Fashion Legend Award: one of the most prestigious accolades in the fashion world. The embodiment of the dream he stands for, Ralph Lauren’s ability to continuously innovate while staying true to his image makes him a true style icon.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaSwily4Eql0l9VXD-MfOQcw3pBUIcqzP-Z75OMCBND3wLRnQHz2aKBvxPFRqu5hY3peOZmJlbhLPMY2DNq3Tcl5W_3dMPSNYVk7X6yzbXLZRJHAqMPPn7PwP9oSGOJ9yZqtghoYkIah0/s1600/RALPH-LAUREN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaSwily4Eql0l9VXD-MfOQcw3pBUIcqzP-Z75OMCBND3wLRnQHz2aKBvxPFRqu5hY3peOZmJlbhLPMY2DNq3Tcl5W_3dMPSNYVk7X6yzbXLZRJHAqMPPn7PwP9oSGOJ9yZqtghoYkIah0/s640/RALPH-LAUREN.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjhc0tZhyphenhyphenCjKw6nL79dJ7yikJLoTr3zNrphkPFsvYieWu_0xNBPUS-UD6KkVaczB7oGMgZ6VlRBQ8PySq6-x_8mnG7KZK5viZfar12CZ4FiX4NFmKq8yFc-oB4FC59CllsbTjbkgewuNI/s1600/35_style-icon-ralph-lauren.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjhc0tZhyphenhyphenCjKw6nL79dJ7yikJLoTr3zNrphkPFsvYieWu_0xNBPUS-UD6KkVaczB7oGMgZ6VlRBQ8PySq6-x_8mnG7KZK5viZfar12CZ4FiX4NFmKq8yFc-oB4FC59CllsbTjbkgewuNI/s400/35_style-icon-ralph-lauren.jpg" width="306" /></a> </div><div align="center"></div><h3> Dress The Lauren Way</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To dress the Ralph Lauren way is to have an appetite for fine living, American-style. Rather than making one’s achievements or ambitions glaringly apparent with flashy apparel, a Ralph Lauren enthusiast opts for elegant, easy-to-wear pieces in luxurious materials like wool, silk and cashmere. He also has a closet full of timeless, impeccably tailored basics that exude good taste and can be mixed and matched for a variety of uncomplicated yet polished ensembles. Examples include suits, smart blazers, V-neck sweaters, neat polo shirts, and crisp dress shirts. However, don’t worry that you’ll have to spend a fortune to dress this way. In fact, this brand strives to encompass all price points and, therefore, it's accessible to everyone. The message is clear: Buy the best you can afford and keep it classic, not trendy. But because it’s boring to keep wearing the same staples over and over, style icon Ralph Lauren has two strategies to help keep your look fresh: The first is that only one trendy item should be worn at a time and it should be paired with your standbys. For example, if you’d like to try wearing a bright hue, buy one boldly colored polo and ensure everything else you’re wearing has a simple shape and a subdued palette. Second, if you’re interested in trying out a popular new style, search for an approximation to a classic -- like this Rugby Wool Shawl Cardigan with rugby-inspired cuffs -- so it won’t quickly become dated. One last point: The Ralph Lauren lifestyle is an active one, so steer clear of apparel and accessories that look nice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLSce6IqiJA9JyG_jlnd7TqelLySyxfYBbMAkQNAGjCZaWr9VeuWUSWJQOtuuMDkflbO_DFjSOKkTUG6LyxGiJHQxe_d_G7vVZYIo0XXVOgOt5LQqKW-uG_Znk4VsiciRGzsMD3H5BAdk/s1600/RLQuotes_IMG_Ralph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLSce6IqiJA9JyG_jlnd7TqelLySyxfYBbMAkQNAGjCZaWr9VeuWUSWJQOtuuMDkflbO_DFjSOKkTUG6LyxGiJHQxe_d_G7vVZYIo0XXVOgOt5LQqKW-uG_Znk4VsiciRGzsMD3H5BAdk/s640/RLQuotes_IMG_Ralph.jpg" width="440" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> "I don't design clothes.

The no-nonsense haircut replaced the floppy kid-next-door look and the clothes went monochromatic with the first <i>Ocean’s</i> film in 2001. Since then he has embodied an updated old-Hollywood style that everyone loves, with black suits for those formal events and gray chinos with white T-shirts for his downtime. His biggest contribution to fashion has been his bringing back of the suit as a fashion mainstay. While so many men fell victim to the idea that jeans are appropriate for every occasion, thanks to George Clooney, it suddenly became cool again to wear a suit. This worked because George Clooney pulled the look off without a tie, which appealed to men because it made them feel free. Also, his attitude of pretending not to notice how dapper he looked made it all the more appealing.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dress The Clooney Way</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8IKiI0JQUXcFsVs78rYd7vfG76JiBQXiBqDCMiE1g6eNOxTqha700jgKRla-wmJMt6XngdgI1XEJk5nlmD7r_kvQuv7GrpX5wJO956_53ZVJ56oEBmuauUr1L4htHCLCQrwAiVWoxxs/s1600/1_style_icon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8IKiI0JQUXcFsVs78rYd7vfG76JiBQXiBqDCMiE1g6eNOxTqha700jgKRla-wmJMt6XngdgI1XEJk5nlmD7r_kvQuv7GrpX5wJO956_53ZVJ56oEBmuauUr1L4htHCLCQrwAiVWoxxs/s400/1_style_icon.jpg" width="306" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Aside from the classic haircut (which George Clooney claims to cut himself), the black, white and gray colour scheme, his crisp white dress shirts sans tie, his sleek black oxfords, and those wraparound shades, George Clooney’s look is truly embodied by the dark charcoal suit. To swipe George Clooney’s classic style, find a charcoal suit with a modern cut, like this Banana Republic dark charcoal suit, and wear it with an open-collared shirt. Look for a suit with a three-button closure, a notch lapel, flap pockets at the hip, and a rear center vent.

Though he graduated from Parsons School of Design with a degree in interior architecture, Tom Ford’s studies provided him with a sense of proportion and a fondness for simplicity and clean lines that would later form his style when he entered the fashion world. After racking up some much needed fashion experience with a brief stint at Perry Ellis, Tom Ford made a bold move to Gucci, and a style icon was born. When Tom Ford signed on at Gucci, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. The young designer saw an opportunity, however, and used it to propel his vision of style, quickly taking on other lines, including menswear. In a few short years, Tom Ford had resurrected the dying fashion house and single-handedly brought sexy back to the fashion world at large. His glamorous clothing, along with his sexually provocative fragrance campaigns, revolutionised the way brands marketed themselves. Never one to march to the beat of another’s drum, the marketing genius dramatically left Gucci in 2004, launching his own line, Tom Ford, in 2005 and winning the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year award in 2008. As a testament to his status as a style icon, Tom Ford was commissioned to create Daniel Craig's wardrobe for <i>Quantum of Solace</i>, the latest addition to the James Bond franchise.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFyxAZzcM7-TLVjnMZiKvJVgV43n9S_SaCrgCiwZuMVGxnUH70y7n5rKDfR780geqdOCWiINJqiGwsbl6rv9xv0muyyPvaFXx7jatl6NMmh1m6hnQOSK8i8tBty3YNnVdRu2egBFzFEuY/s1600/Tom+Ford+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFyxAZzcM7-TLVjnMZiKvJVgV43n9S_SaCrgCiwZuMVGxnUH70y7n5rKDfR780geqdOCWiINJqiGwsbl6rv9xv0muyyPvaFXx7jatl6NMmh1m6hnQOSK8i8tBty3YNnVdRu2egBFzFEuY/s400/Tom+Ford+3.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><h3> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Dress The Ford Way</span></span></h3><span style="font-size: large;">Finding Tom Ford products is getting progressively easier; in addition to the Tom Ford boutiques in NewYork,Toronto and Zurich, these coveted threads can now also be found in outlets in Milan, Moscow, San Paolo, Puerto Banus, and Osaka. Even if you have easy access to these clothes, it’s fair to say that prices at the Tom Ford boutique may be a tad out of the range of many men. Nevertheless, you can still pick up some valuable tips from this style master. First, the Tom Ford man is suave and sophisticated, yet he exudes a raw and masculine sex appeal. One surefire way to look smoking hot the Tom Ford way is to find a perfect-fitting dark suit, preferably bespoke if you can afford it, with strong shoulders, a tapered waist, lean legs, and a jacket that covers your butt.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjytrDTBtNvy5d19BLRtRCgEetsQeGlwVet5MQxGX0-qRmfD4RCc4em2DlGNCngliLH309LO3a54jAp7un18T7ioqKml4DFY-I56aSWcDeNUDkcQXbgCN_DgU0u4aj-fv7I6DxzHXgraHU/s1600/tom-ford+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjytrDTBtNvy5d19BLRtRCgEetsQeGlwVet5MQxGX0-qRmfD4RCc4em2DlGNCngliLH309LO3a54jAp7un18T7ioqKml4DFY-I56aSWcDeNUDkcQXbgCN_DgU0u4aj-fv7I6DxzHXgraHU/s400/tom-ford+4.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Even more important than your suit, however, is that you project an air of assured confidence, meaning you need to feel comfortable in what you‘re wearing. The Tom Ford man is also a sensual being who prefers touchable fabrics that make getting dressed a pleasurable experience. The urban man whom Ford designs for is also not afraid to make a bold statement: leaving an extra button open on his dress shirt when suiting up for example, or throwing together patterns with a certain amount of irreverence. Last, but not least, to get the Tom Ford look, keep your accessories to a minimum. Wear only one or two simple, chic pieces at a time. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /></div>
