Wooden Pocket

I'm always looking for a wallet that is small like a man's but doesn't feel exclusively masculine. Sounds like an easy find, but it is not.

Today I stumbled upon this wooden wallet. Yes, wooden.

I'm over the moon excited about this. These wallets by Slim Timber hold just enough (a couple of cards and a bit of cash) and have that woodsy-modern aesthetic I'm always after.

...and they're made in Idaho out of hand selected pieces of wood.

Help support Idaho. Buy a wooden wallet.

Squares Squared

Now that it's officially summer time, sunglasses are back in season. I couldn't be happier.

I tried these babies, from Oliver Peoples, on today and they are absolute stunners. The acetate is amazing, in the perfect tortoise shell color. The pips are the perfect circular shape so they add the right amount of detail, but don't consume the frame.

....and the shape....

The shape is out of this world. It's almost a combination square and wayfarer, but perfect for a female face, that they feel just as soft as a vintage oversize shape.

I'm totally smitten. Now all I have to do is save a whole lot of pennies....
