    A quick, and probably incomplete, summary of recent purchases :
    Most are taken out of websites (I do a lot of onlien shopping), for others I'm just too lazy & shy to post my own pics... These are generally much better anyway!
    Other purchases include a black cashmere voile scarf, a wonderful bowtie made of feathers by Monsieur Jean-Yves...
    I would like to see this.

    The Ann D jacket is beautiful btw.
    i traded my LUC jeans + Julius belt + Neil Barrett jeans for a blamain biker jeans

      Promise I'll try to take a pic of this one. It was part of a serie exclusively sold at l'Eclaireur (at least exclusive in France), made of rare garments, such as peacock feathers, Alligator, Lizard, python, lamb skin... and even sealskin (though I did not know this was legal...).

      Unfortunately, mine is the only one I've never seen a picture of on the internet.
      Here is a pic, but it is cropped from a recent wedding, so the quality is far from satisfying...


      Not sure which jacket you are reffering to (leather or wool/cotton) but the latest is very interesting, lots of options in terms of how to wear it (zip, button, laces...) and the way you arrange it may really change the whole aspect of it. I wasn't sure at first, but one of l'Eclaireur sales assistants made me try it, and, right on, I was convinced!

              That part I got! I just did not know whether Faust was expressing confusion at the different styles (I'm an eclectic dresser), at the amount of stuff (I've been between jobs, had time to spare and to shop), or at the selection (I'm opened to criticism!).

                  I think a better editing effort would've done the trick.

                              Yeah, his shoes do have great names indeed.

                              I know that for me, what really made me buy them was seeing them IRL and touching them... The pics in themselves did not do the trick, but feeling their texture definitely did!!

                              But then, to each his own!
