At that moment you know you will never wear this. There are no ifs, ands or buts…this is going straight to closet purgatory. Now...

This is sort of like a Christmas wish list for the ladies. Chanel front window…
I like how men are starting to change the straps of their watches. It’s that type of creativity that makes a piece special to oneself.
Now a Christmas wish list for the men out there. Something about a shaving kit is unbelievably appealing.

Renovation of a modern Gothic home
I’ve spoken about how talented my mom is, this is no secret. But one of her pet projects (her house) is ‘almost’ ‘finally’ ‘done’.

She’s redone the house from top to bottom while basically maintaining the outside structure and the inside intricacies. ...

Rag and Bone Spring 2011...a stylin'

The Shoe Horn. Taking it to the next level...
The other day I expressed my love for the shoe horn…its ease of use, sleek beauty and ultimately only method of maintaining a rigid shoe back. So it was only fitting that I come across the holy grail of shoe horns. At 400£ I am going to pass for now…but with that being said if I do decide to buy that maybach I may splurge on the shoe horn.
