I'm all about it! I love these Martin Margiela glasses. This is a shape sure to fit any face and since my face is shaped like a melon, I'M ALL ABOUT IT. £299 is way pricey especially since the American dollar is in the gutter but hey, this will be my way of contributing to the economy. Win-win for everybody... except for those Chinese kids who probably made it for under 50 cents. Ugh, damn Jiminy Cricket - GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Loving the latest Issey Miyake timepiece collab, this time with ID extraordinaire Ross Lovegrove. It slightly resembles what some of the early FOSSIL watches but done in a way only Issey Miyake could execute. Available September '09.

A reader emailed me about finding a man bag that can accompany him on everyday errands. In the interest of preserving his masculinity and yours, from this point on the word "man bag" will be in quotations.

The demarcation between a woman's bag and a "man bag" is a fine line so if you're not yet ready to cross it, here are my two rules for safely navigating that tricky route. All "man bags" should have shoulder straps and optionally thick, wide, and/or rounded hand straps. If it has those two things, everything else on it is just commentary and you can choose what you like, from stitching, hardware, to materials.

If you're ready to ditch that plain jane boring messenger bag I know many of you are holding on to, take a gander at my top 15 "man bags." They're all a little more fashion forward and can wear easily from work to everyday life.

I always feel I need to settle for less when buying a new rug. Finding a great design rug is hard, getting the right size and color even tougher.

This collection of custom rugs by Calle Henzel at Henzel Studio is really cool.
Great art, and color combinations hand tufted from New Zealand wool.

Chose one of their art pieces for the size you need or contact the studio for a custom job where you're given creative input.

These mats will set the tone of your living room rather then just fit in.

Without a doubt, Kanye was responsible for launching the slat shades that became so popular earlier this year but those are soooo done. It seems the new trend (poorly demoed here by Beyonce) are chain eyewear. The picture from the Bless S/S 2009 collection says it all.

The Porter bookstrap is an amazing throwback to pre-backpack days. I have no use for it now since I'm fervent about going totally digital but it would be such a cool photograph to see the Amazon Kindle strapped up. If ya likes it, you can get it from All Beams for 7,350 Yen ($75 U.S.).

Fall and winter are my favorite seasons mainly because in Los Angeles, it's mild in the day and only a little chilly at night. I basically pull out money I horde during the summer (because I hardly ever shop then) and go nuts in the stores. I've also noticed like most men I try to purchase everything at once. It's much less hassle because if I ever do return to the stores, it's to buy basics like undies and socks. I don't want to have to think about anything else - just in and out of the stores.

Oddly I define my seasonal wardrobe by what footwear I buy first. They set the stage and everything else becomes secondary or decorative. I try not to prescribe to any "fashion rules." I wear what I want regardless of whether it makes me look short, fat, stubby, or weird. Somewhere along the way somebody got way too serious and decided fashion - which is supposed to be trendsetting - needed to follow conformist rules. BLAH to that.
