There’s an old adage: You get what you pay for; and with a 150 year old established marque like Burberry, you can be rest assured that quality and luxurious detail will be hallmarks of this Brit luxury house. After all, it’s not mere coincidence that Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness […]

A contradiction in terms no doubt- can a “luxury” by it’s very nature be affordable? And what if the item is exquisitely crafted, impeccably detailed and yet offered at a less than princely sum of €600? Indeed that’s what you get an affordable luxury in form of a Mark Giusti Milano Laptop Bag. A Style […]

I’m not knocking the aesthetics- the white headphones with iconic “b” logo are about fanciest looking pieces of technology since the eponymous iPod; but for a Monsieur, Dre Monster Beats tend to make one look more like a hipster than a gentlemen. Thank God for Parrot Zik Headphones by Philippe Starck. The matt black with […]

Armando Cabral Spring Summer 2012 One time fashion star and now big time shoe designer, runway’s loss of portuguese model Armando Cabral is our gain.

It wasn’t too long ago that I was offering some quick tips on How to Wear Colour and today for those still hesitant about jumping into the colour spectrum, here’s a little style tip for you to at least dip your feet (pardon the pun) into the rainbow- try on a pair of accent shoes […]

Homages. They’re often a point of contention; to a watch snob- there’s a thin (mostly non existent) line between a homage watch and a cheap fake (some might be expensive but seriously, they’re all cheap copies); to others and dependent on where you fall on the watch connoisseur spectrum, you’re either a collector who appreciates […]

As the wife will attest, beyond my love for her, there will always be that special place in my heart (and holes in my wallet) for established watch maisons; but lately I’ve been finding myself in the quiet caress of the independent watchmaker. They say the wandering eye has been the downfall of many relationships […]
