Grenson Boots

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on September 1, 2010)


I nearly softened at seeing those desert boots from Grenson. 100% leather made, their tan/brown color mixed with this black binding makes them really original… and sober. I think we can call them a success! I was not a big fan of desert boots before seeing these ones. I am now…

Looking for a pair of boots for the upcoming season? Here are some nice desert boots from YMC. They are made of a brown colored suede material which seems ideal for the mid season as for the winter.

B-Store Bag

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on August 15, 2010)

B-store is a Bristish label created in 2001 in London by José Neves, Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie. They claim offering a modern and accessible concept on every basic piece of men’s wardrobe. This bag illustrates well those words. The design makes thinking of a classic/retro schoolbag updated. Whether you like this type of bag or not, admit that the general render is awsome. From these back to school times, children are looking for their bag. Why could adults not do the same?

YSL Sunglasses

It’s still time to find some good deals online. As an example, those aviator shaped sunglasses from Yves Saint Laurent. I particularly like they tortoise color because it matches with the shape. Add a smart gold logo at the arms and you have these very nice sunnies. Besides, you can enjoy a comfortable discount whith drives to a reasonable price.

Swear Chukka Boots

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on July 18, 2010)


I’m not really of big fans of chukka boots. I used to wear Superga’s ones when I was younger but I don’t have a great memory about it. From these times the chukka boots is trendy and fan or not, you have to admit it. About those ones, I could nearly buy them as they are really orginial with their canvas and brown leather strip around the opening. Just check the photos out and you may like them (it’s more attracting while being worn), nevertheless it would be matter of taste.

It’s £80 from my-Wardrobe

Ralph Lauren Bag


Hi There! I found a very nice bag from Ralph Lauren, not that affordable, but very stylish. It is made in light brown canvas (not leather), and features a shoulder strap, handles as well as a zip fastening. A little detail that makes the difference is the discreet logo in the front pocket (same color as the canvas). You can fit anything you want for various occasions: sports, weekend, work…Btw, you don’t absolutely have to buy this bag, but if you like it and cannot afford it, try to find an equivalent bag, with the same color, canvas or so :)

It costs €344.11 from Asos
