Bags | For The Smaller Things In Life
I’ve admitted being a bit obsessed with collecting bags- shoulder bags, backpacks, computer bags, duffle bags, they all catch my eye and seem to find a place in my revolving supply of “necessary” belongings.
Mesrine | Killer Style
Vincent Cassel as Mesrine and Cécile De France as Jeanne Schneider Okay, here is my prediction of the obvious… The visual impact of the Mesrine films (Mesrine, Killer Instinct & Public Enemy #1) will be on the tips of the tongues of the fashionistas in the very near future. The fashion “industry” is in a [...]

Undefeated Denim
Undefeated, one of my all-time favorite shoe shops is releasing some beautiful denim today. Crisp raw selvage denim with a nice slim leg- and at $98.00. How can you beat that?

How to Refurbish Old Shoes
In case you missed this Esquire article I posted a few weeks ago on Facebook. It’s such good advice. Just yesterday I took two pairs of my old beat up “over-loved” shoes to the cobbler and will hopefully have some “new” shoes within the week.

Pointer Shoes | Treat Your Feet

They’ve been on my feet so often that I’ll be ready for a replacement pair soon enough. (I’ve probably subconsciously expedited their demise so I wouldn’t feel guilty getting another pair).
