There are days...



Some days I just can't get my look together. I really don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. You're just not in the right mindset, or you've got laundry to do. It's understandable.
On days like this, the first place I go to is the J. Crew website.
It's perfect for a casual, just rolled out of bed with a twist kind of look. Or, You can get and idea of how to pair what you thought was a casual only kind of shirt with a suit. They've really locked down the whole versatility thing I'd say.

My favorite category to go through would be "The Liquor Store". Everything about it just screams manly.
When you're scrolling through you start to get the feel as if you're wearing one of the outfits you're looking at, walking down aisle 3 of local your mom and pop liquor shop at about 12:30 a.m. trying to decide between gin or bourbon. And, of course you always have to put into account the next morning. No one wants to wake up asking themselves why they are passed out next to a random woman in an airport terminal, have a one way ticket to Forks, a vile of glitter in their pocket and "Team Edward" written on their forehead, dressed badly...
That would just make a bad situation worse, wouldn't you say?

So, Edward. The next time you're rummaging your closet trying to find a decent outfit, think of J. Crew.
They've always got you covered when in doubt or need.

Words of Wisdom


Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.
-Tom Ford

When you think about luxury, you think of mansions, fast cars, beautiful women,  and unlimited money and resources. That is the "Dream". But when you really get down to the bare bones of things, it's always the simplest of pleasures that are the most luxurious. When I wake up in the morning, I think about all the things that need to be done and by what time. I'm usually 15 minutes late to everything and will always try to sleep as long as I possibly can. At the end of the day what do we all do? We walk into our home, take off our shoes, take off the day's attire, take a long deep breath and sit down.
That is at least what I do. I enjoy the silence and the fact that the rest of the time in the day is mine. I can use it how I please, or not use it at all. At that point in the day, you are the master. You are in control of yourself. 
That is true luxury.
Thank you, Tom. For putting it all in perspective.
