Allen Edmonds Fairfax

Allen Edmonds Fairfax

There are a lot of reasons to love Allen Edmonds shoes. Made in the USA. Great leather. Timeless appeal. These are my favorites. The Allen Edmond Fairfax. I have them in black and chestnut. They never fail to get a compliment. The shoes are elegant, almost Edwardian in their lines. The shoes in the photo are five years old and they still look new. They also make a fantastic sound when walking on hard surfaces. They sound impressive. Sadly, this style is no longer available. Luckily, when the time comes, I can have them re crafted by AE.

Here's a southwest twist from Polo.
I ran across this the other day.
It changes the entire look of this otherwise plain outfit.

Celebrity photographer Bruce Weber has revamped his website. Weber is famous for his Abercrombie & Fitch work.
“I like to think of our Web site as a bar,” Weber told the New York Times this week. “It’s like I’m showing my film and somebody from my studio is showing some pictures and somebody else is reading their poetry — it’s the bar you always went to after school, in college.”

Whatever that means.
Anyway, it's full of beautiful people and pictures. You can check it out here: http://www.bruceweber.com/
