Men's Threads + Bureau of Trade: Flight of the Concorde

It's here, it's here! My first collection with Bureau of Trade. Like I mentioned yesterday, I've been very intrigued with the thematic product stories, nods to popular culture, and the ability to find the most obscure men's lifestyle item. 

So today launches my first collaborative effort with them -- I am heading to northern Spain this weekend, and so I thought what better than to talk about some of the items I'd love to pack. 

The Warby Parker sunnies, a vintage Ghurka bag, Unis khakis, and Rancourt camp mocs. What else could you need (well the Concorde matches are pretty cool too)... 

Go on over and check it out!

Commes des Garcons Pouch: Things I Have

With all of my travel, I decided I needed something to hold all of my essentials... passport, phone(s), iPod, etc. Initially I was just using my Cathay Pacific business class amenity kit (I mean, it was designed by Agnes B.) but it just didn't feel right.

So this week I picked up a great pouch from Comme des Garcons. Brown leather. My favorite pattern. And I love it! Just used it from LA to Sao Paulo and it perfectly fit everything, was easy to grab out of my bag, and stylish to boot.

I picked mine up at Opening Ceremony, which has a great selection of CdG products.

Things I Want: Phillip Lim Travel Set

Given how much I travel, I am always on the lookout for great on-board accessories. For me I've found that the trick to resting on a flight is a good eyemask.

So I was very excited to see this travel set by Phillip Lim, sold at the Ace Hotel's new Opening Ceremony curated shop. A very soft and comfortable looking eye mask, and a blanket that doubles as a shawl or a hoodie. I love it! How warm + snuggly would that be on a plane.

From what I've read the new Opening Ceremony at the Ace New York has some fantastic finds, but you can start by reading more about the Lim travel set here: http://www.openingceremony.us/entry.asp?pid=562
