Von Zipper Sunglasses

Let’s break out the sunglasses again, this time with a pair from Von Zipper. Founded in 1999 in California, VZ specializes in extreme sports eyewear, such as snowboarding masks.

My favorite: the Stache in red, white and blue! They do the same style in 4 other colours: black, white, red and tortoiseshell.

Von Zipper Red, White and Blue sunglasses

The frame is relatively lightweight (31g), and made of Polycarbonate. The lenses, category 3, are slightly reflective, which offers better protection, but they aren’t polarized.

Technically, these Von Zippers are nothing special but they’re a nice product, at a reasonable price. Perfect, for example, for special pair of sunglasses in addition to an everyday pair!

Victor Onorio leather bracelet

The latest in the series of good leather bracelets, I have just discovered Victor Onorio. Unknown until now, I’m just waiting to get on his site, which would appear to be coming soon (or not), to find out more.

Victor Onorio Glamour of Nature bracelet

Above is one of my favorite styles in black leather and silver: “Glamour of Nature”. I love the one below in brown leather: “Nature Power”.

There are a dozen models are available on the Devianandarts site for between $50 and $70 (£20/35).

Udy Collection

Udy is an underwear brand established in the 50s in Spain. Ricardo Miguel Udi, its founder, began creating creating and selling underwear in Navarre (see here for more info).

Since then, the company has been based in Madrid, and the brand was renamed Udy Collection in the 90s. All their products are designed and manufactured in Spain!

Udy Collection Wonderman boxer-brief

My favorite: the Wonderman in blue (as you can see from these sunglasses, I’m really into blue at the moment). The contrasting white waistband and trim is almost a classic now! But it is nice.

They are made of cotton and elastane (really soft and comfy) and have a little pocket on the inside. If you’ve not seen one before: it boosts your assets, giving you a confident bulge! It’s a bit like a wonderbra for men :)

Sweetman patent leather belt

Mike Sweetman is a Parisian designer which I had mentioned last year in an interview (in French). He has since opened a new shop at 24 Boulevard Raspail, dedicated to shoes, bags, jewellery and accessories.

In his accessories range he usually has some stylish belts including a few snakeskin ones. But today I’m looking at a black patent leather style.

Sweetman Patent Leather Belt

A very nice belt. It was love at first site! Rather stylish with a pair of black jeans… You’ll need to keep it simple for the rest of the outfit, but this is the little extra that gives the whole look a little lift!

Sweetman Patent Leather Belt

And I love the buckle! Not that’s a really big steel buckle! The front is brushed and the sides are moulded as you can see below. True class, I tell you. Right down to the very last detail…
