My visit to The Armoury in Hong Kong
Earlier this year I paid a visit to the well known ‘The Armoury’ store in Hong Kong.
While I was there I had the opportunity to speak to Ethan and chose for myself two pairs of Carminas (a norwegian split toe and suede wholecut) that I will share photos of once I’ve worn them in a little. Ethan is very knowledgeable about the products in store (and sartorial matters in general) and his advice when choosing shoes was invaluable. Ethan, if you’re reading this, thank you again for your assistance.
While in store I was permitted to take a few photos which you can view below. The only other thing I can say is I am definitely looking forward to visiting Hong Kong again in the near future.
Bartending is an old and honorable trade
Saw this in the menu at the Everleigh last night and tried taking a photo but alas it was too dark, so here is the quote in good old plain text:
Bartending is an old and honorable trade. It is not a profession and I have no sympathy with those who try to make it anything but what it was. The idea of calling a bartender a professor or mixologist is nonsense.

Time to go to work
How could you not start the day with boundless enthusiasm when you leave the house like this?
The last of the bold and the beautiful
As Summer transitions to Autumn here in Melbourne so we begin the move from bold and bright summer colours to a warmer, wintry palette.

Taking shoe care and storage to the next level
There is little point in buying a nice pair of shoes if your not interested in their upkeep, so buy yourself one of these and make sure no one is able to level that accusation against you.
