It's hard being this important, so what better excuse than to fly up to Sydney for a long weekend and find some fashion gems. A gem I did find in Sydney's, The Galleries Victoria Arcade.
While I don't know a lot about Brent Wilson, I found his flag ship store and was pleasantly surprised by this winter range of men's clothing and accessories. His mod inspired designs are made for guys who appreciate well made, fitted and well priced clothing.
If you are in Sydney then I highly recommend having a look. Oh and check out the shoes, they're dope.
More information about Brent Wilson fashion can be found here.

BMW 1 Series Coupe
BMW have a new baby. They've called it the 1-Series Coupé and it's a cute little bugger, but is it worthy of the price tag? My curiosity got the better of me so I went and took one for a drive last weekend.
In short: Goes like shit off a stick, go-kartesque handling, fits into the modest of car spaces and doesn't drink too much juice. I was impressed, however being the type of gentleman who enjoys space, I have to admit it's hard to go past a 3 series coupe for a similar price tag.
You be the judge, check out the new 1 series here.

Marc Newson: Style Spotlight
Marc is one of the most accomplished and stand-out designers of his generation. From furniture, to Samsonite luggage, to G-Star clothing, Marc has designed it all. Born in Australia, before being shipping around the world, he has based himself in Tokyo, Paris and more recently London.
The list goes on of his amazing accomplishments including being appointed Creative Director of Qantas Airways and receiving countless awards. Not bad for a guy who hasn't even hit 50.

The Man's Guide To: eBay®
Shopping on EBay is a lot like dating, generally you're going to have a couple of bad experiences but providing you don't catch the clap on your first outing you'll do it again. FYI, I haven't met anyone who's caught the clap from an EBay purchase... yet.
Spoting Fakes
No, not those kind of fakes, rather knock off Cucci, Louis Wuiton and Dolce & Cabbana. Fake gear usually is listed quite cheap, and generally astute buys will stay clear so there will be no bids on the items. Also the location will be in Asia or cleverly disguised as bum-fuck, USA.
Your Size
Go to Saks, David Jones, Bloomingdales, Wal-Mart or wherever you buy your designer clothing from and try your size on. Know exactly what size you are in Nike, Nudie Jeans, American Appel, Ambercrombie etc. By knowing this, you're less likely to receive something in the mail which would be better suited to a midget.
Do Your Research
Seen a killer pair of shades in the shop you want to find online? Get the model number and go hunting online. You'll save a bundle of cash and time looking for them, especially in you're in Australia.
Use Auction Sniper
I found this great tool call auction sniper that's dynamite for beating dumb-asses to the punch when bidding on an item. Check it out.
Relist It!
If it's not right, relist it. Simple. Don't get shitty, just take a photo and let someone else have it. At the very least, you'll learn for next time.
Oh and pay on time, nobody likes a tight-ass.
Fresh Kicks: Air Max 90 Grey/White
News just in, some sick AM90's are on their way to being released. They feature and grey/white body (weave mesh) with burnt orange laces.
Sorry I don't have more information but word is they'll be dropping soon.
If you want to see more pics, they're available here.
80s Purple: Fresh casual online shopping
80s Purple is fast becoming one of my favorite places to buy t-shirts which go with my sneaker collection and coolsie [sic] haircut. Stocking brands such as; Kidrobot, Insight, Tank Theory, Exact Science, Obey and many more. It's definitely the place to get solid casual get-up.
They post worldwide and shipping doesn't cost a fortune. Thank god.
