Nanette Lepore for Origins Collaboration Clutch

Screen Shot 2014-11-07 at 12.00.57 PM

It’s never too early to start making your holiday wish-list and this year, Nanette Lepore for Origins’ limited edition cosmetics bag tops ours! Perfectly timed for travel season, updated your carry-all to the fashion forward clutch that easily transitions from day to night.

Using experiences from her global travel adventures, shopping in souks and markets from Istanbul to Morocco and Venice, Nanette uses inspiration from the bright patterns, artisan crafts and hand embroidery to design many of her signature looks.  Nanette’s cultural  fascination compels her to translate these crafts for the modern day woman.

Today, she has used the embellishments, motifs and print designs from around the world to create the ethnic-infused Nanette Lepore for Origins cosmetics bag. Mirroring both Lepore and Origin’s sustainable practices, The Nanette
Lepore for Origins cosmetics bag is made with 100% recycled cotton.

Available at Origins.com, Origins Retail Stores and select department stores during the month of November, the limited edition cosmetic bag includes a travel size Drink Up™ Hydrating lip balm with any $65 purchase.

Father’s Day: Portable Audio Top Picks

Most guys love audio, some more than others. Personally, I can never get enough hardware, whether in the studio or going around the city. These are my three favorite portable devices, each of them serves a discrete situation very well. With Father’s Day a few days away here are our top picks:

audio guide top picks
Sennheiser Momentum: I’ve had these in my round up for well over a year. They look great, sound great and are comfortable even with glasses on, unlike temple-crushing Beats. Not only that, but there is great care taken in the design of the details, such as the remote and swivel jack. I’ve put some serious miles on these and only love them more with time.
Sol Republic Deck Wireless Speaker: When I watch movies off of my laptop, these connect quickly using bluetooth. They are small enough to take with me on my travels, tucking easily within my laptop bag. The sound for the size is admirable for the speaker size and the battery life is amazing – it really holds a charge.
Soundcast Melody:  On the larger size of portable, but thats what you need sometimes. With its size comes a much richer and balanced sound than you would normally get from a ‘carry around’ kind of bluetooth speaker. I’ve used this for everything from laptop movies, stoop parties and even in my classic 1977 Landcruiser which doesn’t have a sound system to speak of – unless you like AM/FM. It actually amazes me that I can hear it over the engine and wind noise. There are so many uses for this: poolside, on the boat, in the park or at the beach.

 

Father’s Day Bourbon

bourbon gift for father's day
Recently, bourbon has come to the forefront of the spirits world, becoming so popular that some distillers have started running low on their golden brew. While I have been a fan of scotch for some time, I do love the simplicity and american stance that many bourbons provide. And with Father’s Day around the corner, here are a few of our favorites:
