I can't get enough of Burberry Prorsum mens accessories Fall/2012. They killed it with the studded gloves. I feel like a child on Christmas morning....

I was at the gym the other day and on the tv was Sex In The City. I wont lie, I've seen both movies and a couple of episodes (smh). I was the only one in the cardio room so I was going to change the channel until the front desk attendant comes in the sweetest voice "Don't! This is my favorite episode and It has such a great message". First. I was thinking to myself, am I really stuck watching this garbage for the next half hour. Second, how does this show have a message? The episode airing was when Carrie Bradshaw  falls on the runway and  Heidi Klum walks over her like fashion roadkill. Long story short, the attendant explains that this is her favorite episode because of the message. She explains, sometimes in life you fall and you see people who you think are bigger and better pass you by. But you need to get back up and realize that you are just as good or even better. If you have good family and friends that cheer you on (referring to the rest of the SITC girls). "When real people fall in life, they get right back up and keep walking". I was shocked! This all came from a Sex In The City episode? I couldn't believe I was actually thinking this. I honestly needed to hear the meaning of the attendants favorite Sex In The City episode. I felt so much better about the many things that are going on in my life. Im still laughing about this moment. As I stared my cardio, a male gym member comes in and before he starts his 4 mile run he says "Hey, this is one of my favorite Sex In The City Episodes!".

Love this spread from Euroman Magazine. If I could sleep in a suit, I would. My favorite look is the leather jacket. Great look for that New Years party.

This is an amazing shirt! Mountain Research crafted this amazing down shirt. I would basically use this shirt as a jacket. Layer it up with some boots and your good to go.

Black Friday: Skip It

This Friday will be Black Friday – the biggest sales day in America.

In my experience, Black Friday is never worth it. I think shopping should be a slow, relaxing, and pleasant experience. You should be able to casually peruse things and take a day, maybe even a week, to come to a decision. If you’re lucky enough to meet a salesperson who is knowledgable about what they’re selling, you should enjoy a chat a learn something about what you’re buying.

Black Friday is the opposite of this. It encourages impulsive shopping and feeds bargain addictions. Salespeople rarely have time to speak to you and people are often scrambling around for whatever they can grab. It’s better, I think, to stay at home and spend time with the family. Enjoy your comfy slippers, have some coffee, and maybe help bake some cookies. Come next Monday, there will be a ton of sales online anyway, and shopping from the comfort of your own home will be more pleasant than standing outside of a boutique at 7am.

If you insist on doing Black Friday, I suggest going to the stores today or tomorrow. If you see something you like, ask one of the Sales Associates if they’ll put it on hold for you until Friday. I’ve found many are willing to, and some will also happily take your credit card information and charge you Friday, thus allowing you to pick up the garment on Saturday, after the madness has ended.

Two things I dislike: Printed T's and Logos.... But for some reason Im feeling both looks. Maybe it's the cool name of the brand "Flying Coffin" or is it the translucent American flag?I say both! and I want it now!

Loving the new ad. Makes me want to go hunting in a 3 piece suit. Its so manly chic, If that makes any sense? I would have never thought of putting wader pants over a suit. This look is brilliant for a shoot! P.S. I need more green in my wardrobe. 

Check out their "Out Of The Office" spread
