Simple style advice for the modern man.
I’m spending the week in small-town Montana, located a couple hours from the comparatively buzzing metropolises of Bozeman and Missoula. Though the total population may be less than the city block that I currently live on, the town takes the Labor Day rodeo and festivities very seriously. I’m sure I’ll stick out like the Californian […]
Santa Fe, New Mexico is a crossroads of cultures – an amalgamation of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Old West history that spans thousands of years. It’s a town known for this rich background as well as the art and lifestyle that stem from it, but it’s also a destination for something else – shopping. Everything from tiny pop-up booths to international brands have opened up shop in Santa Fe to capitalize on the demand for products born of this cross-pollination of cultures. […]
It’s taken much longer than anticipated for me to return to Europe, but after five years away I’m about to head back. I’ll be staying in Paris for about a week, and will have a quick jaunt over to London as well. And while I always strive to only bring a carryon, this time around I had an additional incentive to pack light – both the Euro and the Pound are getting, well, pounded right now. […]
Although I’ve been traveling a good amount over the past year or so, I haven’t taken the time to post much about it here. Time to change that with a recent weekend trip to Mexico City. […]
Although I’m not exactly built for tropical weather, I must admit that it’s pretty convenient that I can fly to Mexico in three hours from San Francisco – that’s half the time it takes me to get to New York City (where I happen to be headed next week). I was able to take a […]
Is post this my return to regular blogging activity? I’m hoping so – as things start to slowly creep towards a bit of “normalcy” I’m starting to feel a bit more inspired to get things going here. I have a few other posts in the works that I hope to share soon, and I appreciate […]
Is this a terrible time for a suitcase review? Well, yes, but also no – hear me out. I wrote this review months ago – right before COVID hit – and have been sitting on it ever since, waiting for an opportune moment. […]
I recently spent a few days of debauchery in Arizona, where the midday temperatures hovered around 110 degrees (but it’s a dry heat). This isn’t really the environment that I prefer to exist in, but I managed to cobble together a few pieces from my wardrobe to help me cope. Here’s what I packed: […]
One of the most popular articles on this site for several years now has been my review of Away luggage and its comparison to the offerings from MUJI. Now that I’ve had two years to travel with their suitcases I figured it would be a good time to bring back my One Year Later series, in which I re-review items after significant wear. […]
After writing the post on my new MUJI “hanging case” dopp kit I was informed that the much-loved MUJI carryon had recently gotten a few upgrades. Given the tight competition in this market (and Away’s rise to the position of “instragrammer’s choice”) I thought it would be worthwhile to visit their San Francisco store and learn more about the changes. Here’s what’s new: […]
