DOLLAR SHAVE CLUB

I mean this commercial is pretty great.. but what makes it f***ing great is that it actually exists.

Boys, this can seriously up your game.  Even if you rock scruff, you still need to maintain and shape it, so you're still investing in razors.  Dollar Shave Club will save you some serious cash while cleaning yourself up.  This will then result in more attractiveness.. more ladies... and more money for taking those ladies out.  Why does that all matter? you may be asking.  All of these factors will contribute to you getting laid more.  End of story.  

I mean... I can't promise anything but you should check them out at dollarshaveclub.com.

You're welcome.

BEADED BOYS

The other day I was at Saks with a coworker of mine and I stumbled upon these beaded beauties!

These guys were absolutely jaw dropping.  They're definitely not for everyone but you have to appreciate the detail.  I love that man.

GQ BASTIAN VIDEO

Being able to see and hear what a collection is about through the eyes and voice of the designer brings

so much more value and appreciation to the product you're purchasing.

Clothing like this is wearable art.

You're not just buying a shirt, you're purchasing a piece of a story.

For the people reading this that actually know me, do you see why my wardrobe is so huge?  

I create a storyline around each and every piece.  And each new piece tells a whole new story that brings old pieces back to life.  

I know... I have a problem.

THE CALLAR PIN

Keep your collars down boys!

My favorite collar pins are the ones that look like oversized safety pins, but gold.

This is a pretty great casual example of one.  For the boys who don't know, you usually sport the collar pin under a tie.  Some have chains, some look like a barbell and some look like the example above.

Moral of the story.. Collar bars are the coolest.

FACTORY 20

The Vintage Hoffman Artist Drafting Table.  

Made of cast iron and wood in the US in 1910.


As part of my job I am constantly on the hunt for beautiful, vintage furniture.
A coworker of mine told me about this site and I think I found my new obsession. 
Every piece they show is a unique piece of history.  And what boy doesn't love history?

As an artist and person who studied interior design, this item made my stomach drop.
Sadly this specific piece has been sold, but the photograph is beautiful to look at.

For more amazing, one of a kind vintage pieces go to factory20.com.

This blog is not just for men's fashion. 

This space is so inspiring.  I absolutely love subway tile. 

I think it's the perfect hybrid of a masculine and feminine aesthetic.
