What’s Sexier than the iPad 2? Its Sleeve in Python

April 30, 2011

0

The iPad 2 is pretty sexy. Aluminum, sleek, slender and simply designed, it’s a tough act to follow (that’s if you’re trying to one up the iPad); thankfully, the makers for iPad accessories have don’t have the bar set too high for them, at least not till recently. This iPad-sleeve is made from real snake […]

Ride Stylishly: Oopsmark Bicycle Wine Rack in Leather

April 29, 2011

While my interests tend to lay towards the stylish or well designed; like any hot blooded male, I do enjoy tinkering with machines I own; The last time I wrote about a dapper addition to my bicycle, it was really a leather cuff accessory for me to use. This time, the adornment is for my […]

Dress Above Your Pay Grade: H&M SS 2011

April 28, 2011

0

There’s no easy way to say this so I shall come right out and say it, “If you don’t have the money, there’s no point going into debt with a suit from Dior Homme, ETRO or some similarly high priced menswear designer.” That said, it’s not that I don’t endorse or don’t own a few […]

Tissot’s Finally Figured Out Less is More (Sort of)

April 27, 2011

2

Almost minimalist (get rid of the arrows on the bezel please), the Tissot T-Navigator Automatic in stainless steel with black PVD bezel comes equipped with a pretty standard 25 jewel ETA 2836-2. At USD895, it’s pretty much the poor man’s version of a timepiece that’s been very close to my heart – the Perrelet Turbine. […]

It’s going to be winter time when I make my way down to Melbourne (perhaps permanently) and thus decided to do some cardigan hunting online when I stumbled upon Patrik Ervell knitwear. This Shawl collar cardigan with snap closures down center front and antique copper snaps reinforced with nylon webbing is pretty classic looking. Fact […]

Travel Stylishly: Luxurious Passport Holders

Had recently returned from adventures across 4 East European nations and I reached an epiphany. No, not about the vastly different quality of life or inspirational architectural and artistic sensibilities of their European heritage; No, the epiphany began right at Airport security- Ridiculous at both Czech Republic and Singapore ends (Stop over in Dubai if […]

You Don’t Need Money to Dress above Your Paygrade

Looking at the Spring Summer 2011 collections from various designers, it looks like khaki is making its way back this season and why shouldn’t it? Two tone neutrals have always borne simple natural elegance- a classic men’s look, especially if you don’t want to look to dour and sombre towards the weekend. Embrace khaki (not […]

What Do Angels Wear? Apparently Brooks Brothers

April 22, 2011

This post has been a long time coming but I only just caught the movie “Adjustment Bureau” and I was pleasantly surprised by the visual feast before me (and I’m not talking about Emily Blunt though admittedly, she’s more fetching than ever). I am talking about the Case Workers Angels and their keen sartorial instincts. […]

April 21, 2011

A picture speaks a thousand words. This Triwa Nevil in Havana Orange is worth more than a thousand dollars but costs much less- Prices start from $200. From the outgrowth of “toy watch” companies like ICE and ToyWatch, I’ve yet to see any of them tackle mass luxury timepieces with such fine aplomb like Triwa. […]

A Solution for Stylish Bicycle Riding

April 20, 2011

It’s been a fundamental problem of mine. I enjoy the zero-carbon footprint feel of riding past gridlocked vehicles in town on my GT mountain bike; the challenge therein is doing it while suited up because my trouser cuffs always get stained with bicycle grease from the gear train no matter how carefully I ride. The […]
