One of the best ways to brave the cold weather experienced in most temperate regions is to beanie up! yep throw a beanie on. The chunky head gear is sure to keep you warm and stylish.
Beanie's are not that pricy in fact they are one of the most affordable items we can have in our wardrobe. Before you decide to buy a designer pricey beanie remember that its only for a season and with the credit crunch you got to be more discerning about your purchases.
Bags of late have become more useful for men even though they've been kind of popular in Europe since the 50's they only made inward entry into the U.S recently. And the term MANBAG is an American aberration for what Europeans call bag. But guys its all right, at least you caught up with the trend and now you're perfecting it. One only needs to look at pictures of sartorialist taken in NYC or other cities. Straight to the bag pictured above, the lacoste soho bag. It is a simple funtional tote. Not garishly designed, great color and and and and.... umm ?? lol i'm short of words ha :o) well i'm hungry and i'm eating right now..yeah yeah i know bad manners ...so fetch the bag if you want it at asos.com
Schmoove is one brand that sets itself apart from others. They got some of the most eclectic footwear in the market. Their shoes are reasonably priced and would beat most designer brands hands down on the basis of design and quality of material used. 
These shoes retail for just $10.50 and they good quality. It has pretty much the same sole with vans flat sneaks but the beauty of the good ol loafers. This items on my list and i intend to cop it soon :o)

Bass has long been the leader in the casual loafers market. Their design is sturdy and attractive as well. It borders on masculine features like strenght, elegance and has all the trappings of masculine virility as well. These are the quintessential day to night shoes, you can wear them to work in the morning with your suit and out to a bar at night with pals or a date. Financial crunch does not put an end to spending but i think items that should be purchased now must have must have long term staying capacity and Bass loafers has got that. Available at asos.com
This is one staple item for every man's wardrobe. Menswear has got the military as its strongest influence from times past. Sewing and dressmaking techniques were devloped by the military and a lot of other mens clothing were originally military apparel before being adopted to civilian wear. These shirts were first worn by pilots in the airforce and i must say its one shirt design that's going to be around way long after you and i are both gone from this planet. They are timeless and always appear on the fashion radar each year so investing in this would be one wise investment decision even in these hard financial times.
It'll be impossible to buy everything you see on this blog but it's good to show you guys designs that flatter me personally for you to ponder on and appreciate its uniqueness. You might not always like everything i post up here but hey, style's a personal thing :o) This Howard derby lace ups from b-store is in a class of its own. it is beautifully crafted with a flat sole and i love the cut on the vamp where the foot slides in.

I love bags and those of you who read my blog would know that i'm one big bagaholic. ok enough said , vintage apparel and accessories are all the rave right now and bags inclusive. These awesome designs are from the 80's and yet still chic, exuding all the qualities of a good design that include timelessness and elegance. 
Canvas wallets have always been my favorite from way back. the first wallet i ever got was a canvas wallet and since then i seldom use any other type even if i do its only for a short time as i run back to my love. They are very easy to maintain and do not bulge awkwardly if you stuff them up with notes, coins or debit cards. They cost very little and can last for as long as you treat them right, The current one i'm using is a nike though but its on its third year and i don't see myself buying another anytime soon. The wallets above are available at asos.com 
Sonia Rykiel Kiss print Cardigan $228
These cool cardigans offer a different take on the quintessential plain cardigan design, i especially love the junk de luxe one may be its the color that's got me and the little breast pocket it has though i think its mainly there for design and not function as stuff put in it might appear bulbous. I love the kiss print one too it even has two pockets in front , how cool is that ? :o)... available online at asos.com
Gone are the days of bulky and huge ties that once proliferated the office place and streets. The du jour thing is skinny ties. I've got great ties that cost me a lot of money during my university days but as things began to change and the fashion cycle continued rotating back to 70's era skinny/slim ties,they became obsolete. I've given most of them away but i still have one or two that have an additional sentimental value. I see a lot of young dudes especially African American who after putting a whole lot of effort and flair into their outfit still get it wrong with the tie. Come on guys take those big chunky things out of your wardrobes to your basement and invest in two to three good skinny/slim ties.
Second item is a set of red underwear. Red is an alluring color that sometimes depicts danger. The thrill about intimacy is only heightened when there's an element of danger innit?
Finally, you got to cop the cream of the crop the push up bra and suspender. Save costs during this finacial times by bringing the strip club home and an even added bonus is getting to know your spouse in a new sassy way. You could use your body as the pole and have her work her magic around you :o) how's that for some heat when its freezing outside. 
These shoes are eye candy for me. Simple yet amazing, common projects have delivered some great footwear over the years but i never found anyone i fancied until i saw this. If you take a closer look at them you'd notice the difference in the vamps(upper part), the white one has lines running around the toes like wingtips while the black ones toe is clear. So they are not just a replica of each other. Available at www.revolveclothing.com
And let's not talk about how I SO want to be the face of Benjamin Bixby.....CAN I LIVE?!
While inhaling the pages of the December 2008 issue of V Magazine—Beyonce Knowles covers—Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2009 ad caught my attention. It was quite nostalgic w its black and pink combinations.
