Alexander McQueen Clutches

Never did I imagine that such a dainty item as a clutch might be described as "badass"...

Frost River Packs

My friend, Tom, who has impeccable classic taste and an affinity for handiness, recommended me these beautiful camping backpacks made of canvas and leather. They're made by a small company called Frost River. Unfortunately, the one I want is sold out, but at $139, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway.

Buckle Up

So, as most everyone knows, bike culture is huge in Portland, OR. People take huge pride in what bikes they ride (fixed gears, 'fixies,' are very popular here, but I prefer the classier road bike) and dress accordingly. Along with rolled up skinny jeans, I've noticed an inordinate number of Chrome messenger bags in this city. Chrome makes extremely practical, waterproof messengers bags that diagonally buckle at the wearer's chest, making it extremely easy to re-wear.

My beat up army messenger bag has proven a bit annoying to wear while biking. It moves around a lot, so much that I have to swing its weight back behind me at every opportunity I get. Now, I want a Chrome bag for myself.

I like the olive + red the best

Chrome's signature buckle.

Not a fixie!
