While spring is T-minus 16 days away, you can never really be too prepared for next winter. It’s a matter of basic instinct. Squirreling away your nuts, so to speak. Not unlike the nuts-thing, wearing fur is a primeval instinct too, and judging by Sharon Stone’s infamous leg-cross I’d say I’m on to something (too …

It’s All Who You Follow
I never understood the concept of #FOMO until I got an iPhone. But now I get it. The key to it all is in the follow. Certainly as a blogger, but more broadly as a human being living on planet earth, social media has become a key aspect of modern life. There are countless channels to view, …

The Wizard’s Impeccable Tailoring
Following the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City is exciting and all, doing it in this three-piece suit is even better.

Mr Essentialist’s New Skyline
A new year means new beginnings (and potentially even acting-on those dreaded go-to-the-gym-five-times-a-week type resolutions). Well this year is no different, and so in the spirit of new beginnings I thought I would share this rather appropriate tee. It’s Givenchy – but it’s actually much more than that. It represents New York – my new stomping ground. …

It’s Mine
Ok, you’ve got me – I’m clearly a sucker for engraving, monograming and hot-stamping. But you’ll have to admit there is something satisfying about branding your possessions, marking them for all to see. Essentially personalized anything is pure joy – and what’s better than that? Sure it’s the holiday season, but a little gift to you can’t …
