Gucci Oxford Wing Tip Brogues




Searched far and wide and when I finally found it they didn't have my size. Disappointed as I may I will continue my search. The flat shape of the toe box is just perfect, not pointy and slightly narrow. This pair is sure to go with any your favorite trousers.

Patience is a virtue!



I'm a very patient guy, my tolerance for doing tedious things are pretty high. But this guy took patience to a whole new level. It took 3.2 million ink dots to create this portrait. This is one of the many reason why I love art, applied creativity.

Benny Gold Holiday 2011 Lookbook



One of the best looking Look Book I seen in a while. The use of flash, available light and backdrop is spot on. It creates drama and gives each photo character.

"Benny Gold ventured out of San Francisco to produce the lookbook of his new Holiday 2011 Collection. Shot in Northern California by Patrick Beaudouin, highlighted are the sweaters, outerwear and accessories of the new collection. The brand sticks to their heritage and continues to push solid gear with quality graphics by Mr. Gold himself."

Balmain Raccoon Fur Blouson

Fur is definitely in this season. From guys rocking a fox tail on their key chain to fur scarves. We find different ways to use fur to compliment our daily outfits. Balmain Racoon Fur Blouson is no exception. The contrast of the brown fur on the black leather sleeve works like a charm. The retail price of $9,990 usd can break most of our banks, but for the folks who has money to burn this will definitely set the streets on fire...

Glenn O’Brien Interview



A nice interview done by the folks at StyleLikeU. This is a quick look at Glenn O'Brien's life and his work with Andy Warhol. A side from the dope saddle shoes he's wearing and an old MAD comic book in his book shelf, you can tell he never lost his sense of style.

The quote below is taken from the video. I truly believe individuality paves the way to better things. It separates a person from the sea of similarity :o).

"A lot of guys are sortf of, I think they get the feeling that they don't want to stand out, because they don't want to get in trouble or they dont't want to get made fun of. You know, your shoes are sorta like so gay or what ever. I mean its ridiculous, but people are afraid to be different, they feel safety in looking like everybody else in the class or in the office. But that's not really how you get a head, you know? it's probably the young executive who's wearing cuff link and a nice tie that's going to wind up being a CEO in 30 years, because he know who he is and he is not afraid". - Glenn O'Brien
