Always on the lookout for a quality slim leather wallet/card holder, this unique design caught my eye and I’ve fallen for it bigtime. Probably one of my favorite accessories (besides a timepiece, or dare I say it- watch), is the wallet. My style began with a sweet florescent Velcro tri-fold from when I was 13 and needed somewhere to hold the $26 from my first paycheck. Then in High School, it was a leather tri-fold with a huge photo-album style insert for pictures. Over time I increased the need for slots, pockets and folds to carry my life in, even developing the notorious ‘fat-wallet’ pattern on the rear-pocket of my jeans. Then I discovered another way (only slightly guided by

I’m always on the lookout for a better way to slim down on things I carry in my pocket (hence my interest in Coin to slim my wallet), and now a sweet product to address my bulky key ring. Keysmart has come up with a simple yet ingenious idea of organizing your keys in a Swiss army style stacking arrangement. The simple, clean design keeps your keys slim and organized without adding hardly any more bulk or weight. [ad name=”STIL-Medrec”] I’ve been using it for about a month now and couldn’t be happier. The solid aluminum construction (or sleek titanium) looks great, my keys slide out effortlessly, and I can add or remove keys at my leisure. Now I just
I’ve been trying to bring a minimalist simplicity I enjoy in other parts of my life to my wallet for years now. It evolved from the tri-fold wallet, to the bi-fold, then to the card wallet. I’ve toyed with the idea of a simplistic money clip, but I’ve never been able to fit all of my cards in there. I mean, you have your ATM card, 2 credit cards (one Visa, one Amex), drivers license, health insurance card, transit card, not to mention the actual cash needed in the city. That is may paired-down list too! Gym membership card, car insurance card, business credit card, starbucks card… you get the idea. Coin takes care of all of this with it’s

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5 and love the slim, light feel, however, it seems so delicate! If I was to drop it, I’m sure I would hate the outcome, but all of the iPhone cases out there are horrible! Either they completely cover up the beautifully engineered lines of the phone, or are practically pointless, just adding bulk and weight. Who buys a slim, light phone only to put a bulky, heavy case on it? Finally, a beautiful minimalistic case for the iPhone 5 which only serves to protect! This Mod-3 Design Radius Case for the iPhone 5 is a complimentary work of art. The design compliments the phone with aluminum construction and it’s minimal weight leaves the
A leisure sport long enjoyed by Brazilians and starting to make a comeback on California beaches, parks and backyards, Frescobol is the original paddle-ball. Since just about everything 80’s is making a big comeback, why not smashball? At least these beautifully crafted paddles will bring some class and style to a game commonly associated with plastic and out-of-control kids. Merriment Hardware is a San Francisco company that handcrafts each reclaimed hardwood fresco paddle to order in their small workshop. To show their support for play, they donate 10% of their profits to the California State Parks Foundation to make sure you will always have a place for Frescobol. Each set includes two paddles, a rubber racquetball and a sweet cotton
I often find myself in this predicament, do I want the style of a card wallet or the simplicity of a money clip? I traditionally find it is best to just carry 3 cards, an ID and some cash, all of which fit nice and tightly into either device. Situation usually dictates my choice, am I wearing slimmer fitting slacks or more roomy clothes that can absorb the extra bulk without bulging out. More often than not, I pair a money clip with more formal attire since it tends to be more fitted and thinner fabric and thus would accommodate a card wallet less elegantly. I believe this may just be a part of the evolution of the wallet in
Having been searching for the perfect briefcase for all occasions, I found one in one of the most unlikely places. I took to the internet, which is not usually my style when it comes to style. I prefer to see items such as these in person, so i can feel the leather, observe the craftsmanship and verify the quality. Now that I have, I feel as if I must share it with you all. The leather goods from Saddleback Leather are of the highest quality, unlike anything I have seen from high-end designer bags even. My recent purchase of a leather travel duffelbag opened my eyes to the world of quality handmade products without designer labels. I feel this bag
Bags for men can be a bit of a hit or miss journey. It can be difficult to traverse travel bags for men by handbag and luggage designers such as Coach or Louis Vuitton, but rian has done it quite brilliantly. I must say his handbag line for women is pretty spot on too. Leather overnight or weekend bags to messenger bags, rian has managed to combine classic looks with modern style with his artistic designs and use of hardware.

Made famous by Daniel Craigs 007 role of James bond in Quantum of Solace, the Tom Ford TF 108 sunglasses are simply epic. Replacing the traditionally Persol wearing James Bond, these Tom Fords have a noticeably edgier look.

Leather wrapped temple hooks add to the style and fit, keeping them nice and snug on the face. Made in Italy. $450 from Tom Ford *although they have been seen on amazon for as little as $199 [ad name=”go-STIL-smbanner”]
