IT'S A HANKIE... AND A NOTEBOOK FOR $9.99!

This reminds me of the wooden tie I posted some time last year or the year before. Only this would benefit the wearer. Both a pocket square/hankie and a notepad. Practical, but is it wearable? You decide. Buy here if you're interested.

Puma x Franklin Marshall Roma Lux available exclusively at Loom

Joburg's top menswear emporium Loom are to release a Puma collaboration with Franklin & Marshall that sees a reinvention of Roma Lux. Only 800 pairs have been dispersed across the globe and come March 2012 three different colours will be available in-store. First introduced in 1960 and later relaunched as a tribute to the Italian football team, the Roma shoe has become a cult-classic due to its “all rounder” appeal.

The Puma x Franklin Marshall Roma Lux shoe retails at R1,200 (UK sizes 8, 9 and 10 only) and is available exclusively at Loom (Shop 22, Corner 4th Avenue & 10th Street, Parkhurst, Johannesburg).

Call 011-4474330 or visit www.loomshop.co.za for more details.

HEAR THIS: POLLY (NIRVANA COVER) AMANDA PALMER

I was just a couple years too young to discover Nirvana on my own, but luckily there was a constant stream of Nevermind from my brothers bedroom. He had long hair and an undercut and I thought he was pretty darn cool. Of course he's married now and wears golf-shirts but he's still rad.

This song was one of my favorites growing up, the whole tone of the album was a little haunting for me but this version even more so. Amanda Palmer is an American singer/songwriter and this is her intimate take on it. Take a listen.

MUST SEE: VOILA! MAGAZINE HOTEL FÈNGHUÁNG

HOTEL FÈNGHUÁNG is an editorial/short film shot for Voila! magazine by Steve Marais. With the inspiration of the movie 'In the mood for love' the group of creatives descended on Gold Reef City and the Swallows Inn to make this teaser. Featuring the art direction of Colin O'Mara Davis (who just so happens to be a swell friend), styling by Jessica Lupton and make-up/hair by Stephanie Payendee and presenting Kelly and Akio from Star models. 

EL PAIS' GET OUTDOORS

Quirky and sentimental are two elements I love in a photo-shoot and this particular editorial has that and more. And who doesn't love some father-son bonding? Sergi Pons executes this beautifully for El Pais' with models Mario Sanz (who I want to look like when I grow up) and Aiden Shaw(who I want to look like now). Great styling by Migual Arnau.
