Weekly Wrap Up – 10/4 – 10/8

Weekly Wrap Up 10/4 – 10/08, 2010

Deal of the Week – Guess Ivory Dial Brown Leather Strap Watch – $85.00

Under $100 with a good unique look

Offered as an alternative to the $200 J. Crew Timex, this one by Guess hits a couple right notes.  It has an off-white dial, which is perfect for fall, it’s simple but still has some nice design details, and it’s extremely affordable.  Want to mix it up more?  Swap out the strap for a black leather, or something unexpected like a dark grosgrain.

Most Popular Post – The Gentleman Paradox

Nice moustache. Nice philtrum.

Most Discussed Post – The argument for buying expensive shoes

Still on sale. Still pretty expensive.

When does a shoe cross the line into the expensive category?  It’s hard to say.  The regular price of $300 for these certainly seems to be expensive, but the on sale price of $221 isn’t… for some.  One thing is for certain, most really like Allen Edmonds.
