Found this spot on my walk to school.  I wonder how it tastes?  29th & Broadway, a dark walk up the stairs.  I’ll try it the next time I’m around.  Maybe.

Perfect for Designers

500x courier8 Perfect for Designers

Microsoft is coming out with a Tablet which is simple perfect for an apparel designers, interior decorator and everyone else in between that sketches.  It isn’t as powerful as the iPad and the functions are pretty limited but the ability to bring your thoughts on to a digital piece of paper is priceless.

The duel screen allows you to design on one side and check out patterns, layout and notes while you sketch out your designs.  It closes like a book and the exterior is protected with a leather exterior.  No official price or details on the Microsoft Courier but check it out!

A #1 WITH A SIDE OF FRIES

Made famous in the movie Juno, the cheeseburger wallet naturally comes next. The Toddland Cheeseburger Wallet is cleverly designed with an outer sesame seed bun, which has four mulit-colored card slots and one pocket ID window.  The burger-styled wallet is made from a Polyurethane material, which makes this wallet (ironically) Animal friendly.  The wallet is designed down to the detail; squeeze the soft outer bun if you don’t believe me.  You can order yours at Urbanoutfitters for $24.

MAN V. FOOD

Whenever I plan to travel with my friends, I always stop by the Man V. Food website.  You just have to plan your trip around the establishments that Adam Richman dishes on the show.  If you guys aren’t familiar with the show, well  you’re missing out.  Imagine watching a show about every type of food in the US such as the pizza the size of a new born or this:

Adam goes around the country and takes on food challenges.  The one dish I really want to try in the hottest curry in the country at Brick Lane Curry House.  Its right in my backyard in NYC but a persons nose started bleeding as he was eating it. Brick Lane Curry House 306 East 6th Street New York, NY 10003-8702

Here’s a video interview about the show.  They answer the question what my friends and I always discuss: “How the hell does he stay skinny?”

“Never Knowingly Undersold”

I found this interesting video online and I though it was such a creative way to show a timeline of a girls life.  It has been done in such a classy and respectable manner as only the British could deliver.  The Commercial was developed by Adam & Eve London an awesome design, communication and advertisement group located in London.  (Website is awesome too.)

But its surprising that this video was not produced as a short film but a commercial for the John Lewis Department Stores.  Imagine rolling WalmartBest BuyBed Bath & Beyond and Bloomingdales into one; the results would be John Lewis.  I found it very cool that a department store would take this route and have such a awesome commercial like this.  It definitely  shows the difference in our cultures to our cousins across the pond.  This is definitely going to be a store that I would like to visit when I ever get the chance to fly to the UK.

A woman goes from birth to school to wife and mother in this beautifully shot commercial for retailer John Lewis.

Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

I am a self proclaimed Wallet Enthusiast or the way I like to call it, I am ‘Wallet Minded.’  There something about wallets, I just like love them.  Here’s a few that I’ve collected in the past two years.  The rest of them are just laying around the house somewhere.  An average guy buys a new wallet ever 2-6 years.  My dad still has his from the 90s.

One tip: never buy a VELCRO WALLET. There’s just something about a person who has a velcro wallet and it’s weird to me.  I can’t rationalize it.  When a person takes his wallet out and opens it; the sounds of the velcro just makes me cringe.  It doesn’t make you look cool.  LOL I didn’t say it made sense.  Just me, just don’t do it to yourself.

MG 9619 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

Here are 16 wallets that I have used in the last year.  The rest (10ish) are still around my house – somewhere.  I like to change my wallets whenever the seasons change.  If its winter, I like to go with a bigger wallet to hold all of my credit cards and pocket money.

This wallet was made by my good friend Dr. Dave.  This was when the whole craze (in my world) for paper wallets was popular.  Remember those Air Mail Wallets?  Well he made this one out of a Chinese food menu.  He stuck with his day job.

Here make your own!

My current wallet!  Skinny Jeans are in fashion and I needed a slimmer wallet!  My Flipside wallet is perfect for front pocket storage!  Very well build!  It also protects you from RFID theft.  They’ll explain it on their site.

I literally had to sit infront of the computer and keep clicking ‘ADD PRODUCT’ to the basket.  After 20 mins someone backed out of purchasing the white one and I quickly made the purchase.

MG 9613 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

Flipside definitely copied Jimi’s Design.  Jimi was the originator for the compact wallet industry for companies such as Flipside.  I’m currently using this wallet as my business card case.

MG 9611 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

I can’t remember where I bought this, but this was one of my favorite wallets.  It lasted a whole 9 months before I moved on to the next one!  It even made me want to enlist into the military.  Crazy right?!  Jut a joke.

MG 9610 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

My chunky fossil.  Nothing good can come out of a big wallet.  Unless its packed with cash.  I still like to use this as my traveling wallet.  ”Yes; I have two wallets with me when I’m traveling State-side.”

MG 9608 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

Ahh.  One day I’ll become one your main competitor.

MG 9603 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

Awesome wallet from Korea.  Great leather and fit.  Bulky as hell.  But that because every dude in Korea has a purse.  Really a tote or a purse.  I’m not down with that; this wallet had to go into storage until the winter time!

Mercedes usually gives you a free card wallet whenever you buy a car from them.  I just got it off the person who bought one.

MG 9599 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

This one lasted me a whole year.  I just fell in love with the design and construction of the wallet.  Who designed it?

MG 9597 Never Trust a Guy with a Velcro Wallet.

The Gap.  Really! THE GAP.  They started working with outside designers a couple of years back but they never really promoted the Wallets at the Store or website.  Due to the horrible marketing and product placement, the option to buy wallets at The Gap faded. But check out the green sticking and layering.  The deep impress robot pattern on the leather.  Come on!  I don’t even see that at Bloomingdales or anywhere else!  This was the first time I ever paid attention to the details of a wallet of anything.  This wallet sparked an interest in me to learn to design products and it helped me pay attention to the design aspect of things.  Give me 5 years.

The Hundreds!  Just love the Jags.

My former international traveling wallet.  I have a LV passport wallet that filled his position.
