I‘ve always loved a good Ray-Ban. So it’s not surprising that I’m very into these new polarized, lightly tinted Clubmasters. If you’ve been reading you’ll know I’ve chatted about some great shades before, and it’s definitely no secret that I’m partial to my camouflage Wayfarers. But there’s something fantastically Dickie Greenleaf-esque about these frames (needless to say …

Old Spice Bar Soap
Let’s talk about an American icon for just a second. Old Spice is the quintessential American man’s go-to grooming brand. And for good cause. With over 75 years of experience as an American grooming authority, Old Spice provides all types of American men with an expansive product portfolio that includes antiperspirants, sprays, after-shaves and colognes. But …
On Haight Street: Camouflage 2.0
I guess the whole let’s-walk-around-town-with-a-small-dog thing is a bit passé. But an iguana as a replacement – really? In short, yes. Really. This is the twenty-first century. No judgement here. I mean one minute you’re walking down Haight St. browsing Wasteland (where I scored a vintage Versace blazer, just FYI), the next minute you’re practically confronted …
The Collectables: Bearbrick Toys
Nothing beats good ‘ole fashioned fun – right? And as long as Japanese toymaker Bearbrick is supplying it, I’m down. Like so down – I’m practically on the floor. Because these figurines basically are beyond cool and collector’s items (what more could you possibly want?). The point is Bearbrick’s toys are superbly curated and highly coveted by collectors …
A Time to Reflect – A Time to Predict
I know, I know – it’s definitely spring. But sometimes it’s good to take a moment to think about what you just did, right? You know, reflect on all the choices you made during the those cold and gloomy winter months (the good, the bad, even the ugly). Besides, reflecting helps us think about what …
The Look: The Great Bowie (Sorry Gatsby)
So I guess I’m supposed to be all about Gatsby. I mean I tried (for a sec) but I just can’t. Instead I’m still all about Bowie. Don’t get me wrong, Baz Luhrmann’s whole visual overload-to-the-max thing was impressive and excessively indulgent (thing’s I usually enjoy), but I just need something more, well, me. Enter the …
Washed Out: Asos Jeans Jacket
I dig jeans jackets – on other people (I’m one of those types). Yet recently I’ve been into it. ‘It’ being washed-out and fun. Sure I have several great childhood memories of various denim coats and this season’s resurgence makes me nostalgic for the nineties (what’s better than that?). But generally I’ve been avoiding the whole thing for …
