Gourmet…Shoes for the refined taste

Gourmet (pronounced /ɡɔrˈmeɪ/) is a cultural ideal associated with the culinary arts of fine food and drink, or haute cuisine, which is characterised by elaborate preparations and presentations of large meals of small, often quite rich courses…Wikipedia

DIECI - Paloma Papyrus

Following on from that definition, I agree that Gourmet Shoes started in 2005 by Jon T Buscemi, Greg Lucci and Greg Johnsen definitely fits that name. Simply put Gourmet shoes are comfortable and tasty foot gloves that look good and compliment any style perfectly. Best thing, the prices are very reasonable. Hit their website for more tasty pics of their shoes. Fall 2009 collection is simply amazing. Below are some of my fave shoes.

HOW TO ROCK A PLAID SHIRT

Okay, let's pretend it's 7 days later and you've gone to the store and bought a plaid shirt or two, now you're like "okay, what do I do next, how do I wear this"...

Option #1: "The East Village Way": white v-neck tee underneath,skinny jeans or jeans that fit, worn down chucks, skippers, or neutral colored boat shoes, and the shirt should be worn open or buttoned over the tee, oh and don't forget to roll up the sleeves. Optional accessories include a hat (the kind your grandpa wears, lol) and wayfarer shades.

Option #2: "The Benjamin Bixby Way": v-neck sweater, khaki or neutral colored cords (aka corduroy pants), loafers or new pair of neutral colored Converse (the beige ones), and the shirt should be worn underneath the sweater tucked in or out depending on your mood. Optional accessories include a hat, striped scarf, and braided leather bracelet.

Option #3: "The Too Cool For School Way": bright colored jeans (any color jeans that fit really), fitted hat, badAzz sneakers- like pair of Creative Recreation. Optional accessories include glasses- yes, the nerdy kind.

Men’s Fashion Flash : Herds of The Fathers

Today I wanted to introduce you to Herds of the Fathers(www.herdsofthefathers.com), a new leather accessories line pegged for the sophisticated urban gentleman:

Herds of the Fathers was created by Jason Akoi and Tobi Babajide, two New Jersey natives who met while attending Rutgers University. They started the line from scratch in their college dorm room because they said, “We were searching for leather backpacks, but couldn’t find ones that fit our lifestyle. “

So we decided to create our own line of men’s leather goods. We started with backpacks and the mini coin purses, but in the near future, we will add belts, wallets, messenger bags, and many more products.” Their bags are handmade with quality leather and are perfect for school, work, and beyond.

A Herds of the Fathers piece will run you from $60 for a mini backpack to $310 for a Duffle Bag. A small price to pay for durable leather goods that will transcend trends and stand the test of time.

Lookbook : Triple Fat Goose Fall/Winter 2010

Style Inspiration: Lebron James’ GQ Spread

Lebron James shows off his style in the September issue of GQ magazine, flexing in a host of fall ready camel and nude colored separates:

Get the look with these:

Air Jordan Spizike (GS) in White/Violet-Grey Colorway

Air Jordan Spizike (GS) – White / Violet – Grey

Sneakers often look the same, especially if it comes from the same brand and collection. Although this may be true, ironically, each pair of sneakers has its own unique identity. Just take a peek on these funky hoops from Air Jordan to which they call the Air Jordan Spizike (GS) in White/Violet-Grey Colorway. Try to compare it to other Air Jordan pair you know and think about their differences and commonalities.

Whether you find it difficult or easy to distinguish one from another here’s the catch, Air Jordan shoes are simply adorable and punk. Looking at this Spizike (GS) for women, I couldn’t help but adore it. Housed in a multi-colored upper with the combined shades of violet, neutral and medium grey plus, the overlapping details as its highlight, this Air Jordan shoe is classy and refreshing. The Air Jordan Spizike (GS) is created in a playful design that’ll surely captivate your heart as it hit your favorite shoe store this mid-2010, so watch out!
