Organic Endorsement: J. Crew

There aren't a lot of options for men who want stylish, well made clothing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Luckily J. Crew is there to help. J. Crew has made high quality clothing for a long time now but in the last few years they've added an extra dose of style. They have great washed shirts, khakis, sweaters, coats, cords, jackets, and anything else you might need. They have some stuff that was designed for the guy who was shopping at j. crew since 1995 and then they have other pieces that stylish shoppers and magazine editors alike are going crazy over. They have all the big stuff for fall like camel coats, shawl collars, tweed, plaid, and khakis. Although J. Crew is more affordable than say Gorgio Armani, it isn't cheap. However if you wait for sales you can get some pretty good deals.

YSL fall/winter 2011 Sneakers Video

Yves Saint Laurent made a video to promote their newest sneakers. The video is kind of weird, but I'm really liking the shoes. Anyone reading this is more than welcome to gift me a pair. Eid is around the corner!

STINKY MARC!!

I do not own this image

I was in Bloomingdales last week and decided to smell Marc Jacob's new men's fragrance, Bang. It's his first men's fragrance in almost 10 years. I was really excited when i first heard about it, because the bottle looked  cool and he is a great designer. But i was VERY disappointed, it's was one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelt! It is like a peppery smack in the face. All you can smell is the extremely strong black pepper notes. I felt like I had to sneeze after smelling it. I almost feel like this is some social experiment, where Marc Jacobs makes the worst scent he can think of, slaps his name on it, puts it in a sexy bottle, tells everyone he loves it, and then watches to see how many morons actually buy it! I wouldn't be surprised. Please, don't be a moron, stay away!

Trend Report: The Desert / Chukka Boot

My Steve Madden shoes I purchased for spring/summer

Desert Boots. Chukka Boots. Whatever you want to call them; they're big for 2010! They were popular this spring/summer and now I am seeing them everywhere for fall. The beauty of these shoes is in their versatility, they can be dressed down with T-shirts and dressed up with button-downs. Either way you can't go wrong. Everyone from Dior Homme to Lacoste is making them this season and they are available at various price points, just look at the photos below.

Stay Organic!
