Avoid sending a floral mash up. A bunch of the same flower has more impact.

Shopping for Jeans
No, not for me thank bejeezus. It's our annual hunt for the right pair of men's denim.
These were his top picks for jeans.
Marc by Marc Jacobs - Uniform Fit
review - lady bum is not a good look for him.

Acne Jeans - Roc Cash Intense Black
review - Hot! He's going to buy these this Fall - I hope.

Nudie - Slim Jim Dry Coated Denim
review - he has slim sexy legs and the boot cut really doesn't do them justice. In my opinion, if you're blessed with slim legs you should show them off.

review - nah - just ok. I like my pair of Naked and Famous though.

These were the best.

The funnel design, smooth finish and sloped edges are meant to keep vermin out. I wonder if it's easy to clean. You have to keep those birds healthy.

Tip of the Week - Civility
When you're walking with someone, whoever gets to the door first holds it open for the other. Simply pull the door toward you and wait until your companion walks through. If it opens out either push it out and wait, or push it out, walk through, hold it and wait.

Imitators vs Innovators
I've been thinking about Mercedes Benz Fashion Week
Mens Style Inspiration
You must take a look at this replica German U-boat Marine coat a gentleman took two years to make. His other handmade coats are just as amazing.

Total price of all goods: $34
vintage Lloyd's led am/fm alarm clock (may I add - this alarm clock is awesome)
made in Hong Kong

Tip of the Week - Fashion
A white belt on dark trousers adds girth by drawing one's attention to the middle. Keep the flow of the eye moving by choosing a belt in the same shade or close to that of the fabric.

How to Restore a Wood Table

1. Acquire a table. In this situation I'm using a teak one.

2. You'll need the finest grade steel wool, gloves, two clean cloths and Dr. Howard's Feed-N-Wax (I think this is the best for getting a nice conditioned look with Danish style furniture in walnut, rosewood or teak).

3. Break off some steel wool and lightly run it with the grain of the wood. Don't rub back and forth. It's like doing your nails - file in one direction. Get down to eye level to see any missed spots.

5. Apply a dab of Feed-n-Wax to a clean cloth and rub it - with the grain - onto the wood. Once again, get down to eye level to see any spots you've missed.

6. Wait 20 minutes

8. Voila. Now go and sell your $100 table for $600

Tip of the Week - Grooming
Dandruff? Over perfumed shampoos can cause dry scalp which then flakes off as dandruff. Not sexy or snuggly. Go with an unscented type and add a few drops of pure tea tree oil to it - 1 drop of oil per 1 oz. shampoo. Tea tree oil is an amazing natural remedy for everything from cold sores to yellow toe nails. Get the good undiluted stuff from Australia.
There are those who shouldn't use tea tree oil. Do your research before buy it.

I'd love to see Milo Baughman seating paired with Paul Evans storage - particularly in my house.

Last Week in the Cassette Player
I was driving Brad's car last week - which only has a cassette player - so instead of being infiltrated by Nickelback on local radio I pulled my cassettes out of storage.
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Sonic Youth - dirty
Psychedelic Furs - Forever Now
