Polo Ranger Boots vs... Polo Ranger Boots

photos by: Jessica N. Bell

There are many winter boots to choose from so to help you make your selection, Marcus and I did a mini shoot to display our preferred choices.

The Ralph Lauren Polo Ranger boots can be found in various stores including Macy's & Finishline or at online retailers such as David Z & Shoes.com for around $150. Make sure you look out for the discount codes to keep your money safe in your pockets.

Enjoy.

They Killin It: Quality Style from the Congo.

These amazing images have been catching my attention on other blogs and publications for weeks. This eye-catching book of photography by Daniele Tamagni provides fascinating insight on the vibrant street style of the "Sapeurs", immaculately dressed dandies from the heart of the Congo. They sport designer clothes and accessories by Pierre Cardin, Roberto Cavalli, Dior, Fendi, Gaultier, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Yohji Yamamoto and Gucci . Unlike other gangs who may dress in fine threads as well, there is no bloodshed here - the clothes do all the fighting for you, otherwise you do not deserve to be called a "Sapeur." The result is "a vibrant and unique style not seen anywhere else in the world." The book can now be found at various U.S. bookstores.

Life is all About the Details...A Dynastee Hand-Painted

I really don't like doing handpainteds as much as I used to due to their costliness in time, but here is one of the latest with the new dynastee logo...Check the steady hand!

A New Definition of Streetlights

It never hurts to try something new. The revolutionary guerilla marketing company, Lumina Motion, set up animated ads projecting on the buildings and streets of Santiago, Chile.

ARt: THE BIG APPLE

As an artist, I love when someone can take a concept to the next level.
Several designers were commissioned to represent the New York Big Apple as an art piece for a special auction organized by Tommy Hilfiger in New York. Christian Thiel designed a Big Apple, which incorporates all the most famous attractions of New York. Freedom Of Creation produced the art piece by means of 3D printing.

Loafers v. Cool Kicks

Gucci Loafers
Gucci Black Pebble Leather Horsebit Loafers


Christian Louboutin


Retro Jordans


Nike Terminator High Supreme sneakers ($220)


It's a classic coming of age debate... how to decide between the loafers or the cool kicks (Jordan's, Common Projects, Dunks, Vans, etc. found at stores such as Chicago's Succezz). I know it can be difficult for the early to mid-20's guy, so tread carefully.

I tend to choose the loafers 9/10 times. I really am a fiend for the Purple Label Ralph Lauren's or anything from the Gucci collection - partnered perfectly with a Dynastee tee. Here are some pics to help you begin making the transition to adulthood.
