The NDC made by Hand workshops have got exceptional know-how. This “Bond” style is just one example of what they are capable of. These are hand-made shoes with high-quality materials. Mine are blue-black, and feel like slippers!

Let’s get back to one of the must-have items at the moment: boots. These ones, the Opitz from the German brand Lloyd, are a lot more classic than the Blackstone python. These boots have the style of the richelieu with the patterned toe and the perforations on the sides, and the comfort of a pair of boots. A fully-leather style at an affordable price.

And we’re back to trainers with a brand that’s not too well known in France: PF-Flyers (an American brand that’s been around for over 70 years). They’ve just launched a collection of stylish trainers with the code name “The number 5“. A rather nice design, fabric, leather, nubuck, brown, black, and unusual patterns such as a “seventies” (see above) or even “paisley”! An interesting alternative to Vejas, Fred Perrys, Premiatas, ou autres Paul Smiths.

RRP: €110. On sale in Paris at Galeries Lafayette, Atelier Chaussure, Guardia Jeans, Le Refuge, the Tube

This is a new style from the “West” jeans collection: this pair of Paul Smith trainers in bronze-coloured leather. A shiny brown for a bright autumn

£130 from Paul Smith

And now for another polo shirt suggestion! After the pink Gas Jeans polo shirt, here’s a brown stripy one from Original Penguin. It’s made of pure cotton jersey. I love the retro style and the colour harmony. Has anyone p-p-p-picked up a Penguin?

€83 on La Redoute

WESC side! WESC (We are the Superlative Conspiracy) or WE is a Swedish brand, established in 1999. Inspired by the skating and streetwear scenes, it made a name for itself by sponsoring certain underground Swedish artists and musicians. I’ll spare you the names as I suppose, like myself, you don’t know much about Swedish artists and musicians, especially underground ones… (And no, Abba don’t count!). Anyway, they make polo shirts, including this one, which I think is pretty smart. Black coffee colour please! (No sugar, thanks…)

This Dolce & Gabbana shirt is half price at the moment, that’s nearly 150€ (£100)! I love this chocolate colour, the cut and its epaulettes and the buttoned front pockets.

Yet another well-designed watch from Nixon! This time, it’s the “Big Rig” model. It’s not new, but I haven’t yet had a chance to mention it. It’s got a quartz movement and a leather and steel strap with a butterfly closure.

£100 from Extremepie

There goes your alarm, it’s Monday, time to get up! Time for big boys to put on their Prada shoes and go to work! No, but seriously, don’t you think these shoes are killer? Have a look at the patterned toes and admire the detailed holes and stitching…

$650.00 from Neiman Marcus

Did I already mention that I love trainers? If I followed my own advice I would buy yet another pair! What about these brown and beige Asics for example? Why not? Well probably because my brown Adidas Adiracers are still like new, so I’m not going to go crazy :o)
