Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Just got a pair of these strange looking running shoes from Vibram, the Italian shoe sole maker. They are called the FIVEFINGERS. I’ll let you know in a little bit after my run, but for now I’ll tell you they are really comfortable just wearing them around the house. They [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Last summer I did a popular post on the hip swim trunks from Sundek. They were as you’d expect very hard to find and if you did find a pair they were in limited color combinations. Now the swimwear maker is making them to your exact color specs. Using their [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Now that I have de-compressed from my stint in Nashville, I have been reflecting on some of the very cool and cold, but mainly cool times I have had in Nashville. Nashville was a town I went to with no pre-existing expectations, no personal references as what I might expect. [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Not since the late 80′s did I favor these cool canvas utility boots from France called Palladiums. They were only available from one shop in Los Angeles, “The American Rag Cie”, on La Brea which at the time was a very eclectic shop carrying imports and odd vintage wear that [...]

Rating 3.50 out of 5 [?]Newly opened Bottega Louie is one of my new favorites. An oasis in the middle of sometimes dreary downtown Los Angeles, this polished, marble and brass space is cavernous, light and airy. The glass cases are filled with delights both sweet and savory. The bar beckons, if only I was [...]
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]These are the coolest slip on sandals for this spring/summer from Keen. They are called the Yogui’s and they come in plenty of color combo’s to suit your taste.

Rating 3.50 out of 5 [?]Bar Pintxo, located in Santa Monica, California is well worth the trip. It certainly beats a flight to Barcelona, which is as far as you’d have to go to get authentic “Tapa’s” dishes.
